Love Granddad's Donuts on James St. north best donuts in the Hammer!!! My personal Favourite is the Walnut Crunch!!! A word of advice come early, they sell out quickly

We were in Hamilton to eat a burger featured on a TV show, and we figured we should also make our way to Grandad's to try their infamous Walnut Crunch concoction.
We showed up early afternoon and were pleasantly surprised to discover that the joint is in a plaza with its own parking lot. Free parking!
Anyway, obviously I ordered the Walnut Crunch. It's actually quite a bit larger than I would've expected, and I was sure I wouldn't wind up eating the whole thing. (Spoiler: I ate the whole thing.)
It's really good. The whole thing is very fresh and flavorful, and the sporadic pieces of walnut give it a welcome crunch.
It might not be worth a drive to Hamilton, but the Walnut Crunch at Grandad's is certainly worth grabbing if you're in the area. -

Ended up here entirely by accident, just walking by on my way down to the water. Wasn't sure whether to expect it to be good, since I hadn't checked online first as I usually do. Overall I was disappointed, and I'm surprised to now see how much people like it online.
I had one of the big special things whose name I don't recall. Overall it was too sweet and it didn't taste fresh enough. I know, donuts are supposed to be sweet, but I was tasting sugar where I should have found a fresh coat of oil. -

I would come back for the nostalgia and leave the donuts.
Grandad's Donuts is a bite of the past with the neon plastic booths and the donuts laid out in trays the way they used to be at Timmies or Coffee Time in the 90s. Admittedly, I am a millennial baby so I can just barely remember those days.
We had coffee, an eclair and one of their "grandad's feature" donuts which ended up tasting more like dried out peptol bismol. The coffee was equally mediocre - it was pretty weak but standard donut companion coffee. The eclair on the other hand was lovely. Would definitely recommend because of the fresh cream taste. Overall Grandad's Donuts was a great experience but I wouldn't stay for the donuts but rather for the ambiance. -

The donuts here are amazing! Very fresh and fluffy almost. It wasn't busy at all when I went early in the morning. The prices are reasonable compared to other fancier donut shops in the city.
