There are some places that surprise you, and this is one of them. From the outside, you wouldn't think that the coffee is as good as it is, or that the food is as fresh and tasty as it is. The two owners, Joanne and Johnny, are friendly people, and they're always welcoming when you come into to get something. To me, South Creek Donuts represents a slice of the immigrant experience in Canada. Two people come to live their lives here, they work hard, they raise their family, and they run a business that becomes a kind of staple in the neighbourhood. When the weather is good, you'll see people sitting out front, sipping coffee and chatting. On most days there are a few people sitting inside, sometimes reading the paper, or watching the small TV in the corner that plays without sound. In the past, Johnny and Joanne would have a hot table with Chinese food for sale, and it was delicious. I haven't seen it lately, but the skill with which they made that food is evident in their sandwiches and snacks. It's a nice place, a place that adds character to the area and always...
Read moreI've went to this coffee shop a lot of times throughout the years. To me, this place is just full of nostalgia and probably why I love so much (Its the one maple donut that remains on the tray). After reading some of the more critical reviews, I have some explanations.

Finally, lottery tickets... uwu I have no say in that. Overall, This coffee shop is full of childhood memories and I highly recommend this place. However, be sure to get there in time, or else all the apple fritters will be eradicated by the end of the day; due to my shear...
Read moreI have no problem giving this dump one star! I read some of the glowing reviews on here and thought it would be a rather safe bet driving in from Oakville. I got there at 10:30 on a weekday morning and they had a grand total of 6 donuts on the racks. The place has a grubby, dingy appearance. The whole building is run-down and a bulldozer out of control could only improve the neighborhood. The woman behind the counter was friendly enough, but when I tried to order a donut, she told me that I had to pay cash. They did not accept debit or credit. Then there was the old guy sitting next to the door hunched over a paper. He was the only other occupant that I could see. I just wasn't impressed with the place. The donuts might be fine, but the appearance of the restaurant was dingy, dirty, and...
