Hifi Donuts - Cliff Island

I really wanted to love these. And clearly most people do. But for me, a donut should be soft inside with a thick crisp glaze layer on the outside. The donuts at Hifi were more like cake. The Nutella donut didn't taste like Nutella at all. It was just a glorified chocolate cake. These new donut shops try too hard to be fancy and it's just not for me.

Loads of reviews push tourists to another donut shop but this is the star. We loved the decor and design of the shop, its central location (close to parking) and the vast flavours. We enjoy the blueberry glaze, Mexican hot chocolate and when pigs fly donuts. We’d go back for all 3! Extremely flavourful, light and tasty. Hidden gem! ?

The crueller mastery is maxed out here. Go treat yourself.

Very solid bake on these donuts, but the outer shell lacks crispness. Note they’re more a custard style, and the sweetness is mild. I love it. However, the matcha isn’t very matcha. I’d love more matcha in that glaze… then, 5 stars. The ham and cheese is a great deal. Nice hot donut.

Honey dipped yeast donut and a lemon and lavender lace cake donut. The honey dipped donut was light and fluffy with a delicious glaze. The lemon and lavender lace cake donut was amazing with a moist dense texture and a great lavender character. The lemon could have been slightly stronger/ sharper but we were very happy. I can't wait to come back and try more of their cake offerings and hopefully they're as good as our first experience! Parking: This is a downtown area so be prepared to find paid parking and walk to the business.
