What is your favorite doughnut? A doughnut is not, just a doughnut! A single decision on the best doughnut cannot be made without considering the moment in which the doughnut is being consumed. Top Pot is the best for a business setting, as Top Pot says…they “elevate the humble doughnut to an art form”, Voodoo is exceptional for times out of the office, go crazy and try something unique!, and finally Tim Hortons…there was no better way to start the day during long weekends of minor hockey road trips in our neighbor to the North, a cup of coffee and a box of Tim-Bits is the go-to!
