Cops

Yummy doughy donuts. I love how they change their flavours so occasionally. We tried the trio and it was absolutely fantastic! My favourite was the cinnamon sugar donut. The only complaint would be the wait time. We came another time in the summer and waited over half an hour for a dozen donuts. It was extremely busy though, but the wait was worth it!

I was walking around lovely Joel Weeks Park and the sweet smell caught my attention! Following my nose, I found the tiny donut shop COPS with its pink theme. Such a cool hidden gem in Riverside! And open until 11 pm! They focus on 3 flavours per day which I totally get, it's the best way to avoid wastes and the tiny donuts are so pretty in their box, not too sweet, sort of melting in your mouth. They also sell very good coffee!

Warm, soft donuts prepared to order! We stepped into a pink box to get our donuts, which were ready in less than five minutes. They have a variety of flavours to choose from. They provide you with forks and napkins to enjoy your donuts on the go. The donuts vary in sweetness based on flavour you choose, for example Cinnamon sugar is less sweet than the sour cream flavour. The donuts are like cake donut texture, but are very soft if you eat them fresh!

I like to get the trio set! The trip had three different flavours. One is original glazed, the other is cinnamon sugar and the last one is typically a flavour that switches every week. This week I got the pumpkin spice flavour. The donuts generally are soft and tastes good fresh and it even tastes good if you leave them in the fridge. This is the second time I’ve ordered from cops, and I would say I love the raspberry lemon grass flavour the most out of all the seasonal flavours. The pumpkin spice was not bad but I felt the flavour was not strong enough. The original glazed is just normal for me and the cinnamon sugar one is what you can expect. Service is also pretty good! I’ve walked in and ordered and it took about 5-10 minutes. It’s not bad since the donuts was fresh. If you are pressed on time you can also preorder on their website for pickup. I’ve done that for my previous order and they were ready on time. I’d definitely come again and try their other seasonal flavours!

My friend treated me to some COPS donuts after dinner and it was the perfect way to end the night! The donuts are made to order, so they were hot and fresh when we got ours. The donuts are addictive! The texture is more of a cake texture, which I thought was very nice. I easily devoured 8-10 donuts by myself. We loved all three flavours that were served. Can’t wait to come back again to try more flavours!

A cute little artisan donut shop practically hidden away. You barely miss it if you aren’t looking but luckily their bright pink exterior draws you in. Cops is know for making freshly made donuts everyday on order, with a surprise flavour of the day. Sadly if you are an accessible mobility device user you won’t be able to enter the shop depending on how your disability affects your mobility. It’s better to go with someone who is able to order/pick it up for you as it’s already small enough inside. The two base donuts are cinnamon sugar and strawberry cream drizzle. The surprise one I had I assumed was raspberry with some seed. The raspberry was a good flavour as it had a subtle tangy tartness to its flavour but still melting well with the fresh warm donut. The strawberry one was more disappointing as it tasted like nothing except for cream and donut. The cinnamon sugar was the best as the cinnamon with the fresh donut was like a marriage happening. In terms of payment, these donuts were expensive for their size quantities, however, given that it’s a small businesses in a niche market I understand where they are coming from. The cheapest box is $15.26 I believe and that’s for three rows of 18 donuts. It’s not terrible since it does fill you up and it is a great shareable. The terrible part is if you come here everyday. Overall, I enjoyed the fresh donuts, the strawberry lacks flavour sadly. And the entrance being inaccessible is a huge deal but it would be better for that shop to be a bit bigger in order fit a mobility device since turning around inside Cops would be a nightmare. So have an able bodied friend or parent to order/pick up the donuts for you.

These donuts are delicious, moist fluffy with icing that melts in your mouth. Even after a couple hours at room temperature they’re a delight to eat, so don’t worry about them ever going stale a few hours after ordering. You can save them for leftovers. I had the lemon icing, strawberry and cinnamon sugar. I loved them in each of that order! This is a place worth trying!

The hype is there for a reason. These are easily the best mini donuts I’ve ever had. They’re so fresh, the flavours are so simple and yet so good, and you don’t even realize when your box is finished. Plus, the staff is super cheery and friendly. Will definitely be returning!

Donuts were fresh but needed more frying... They were undercooked and goey. If they were crispy and well fried, then this place would be my go-to! I hope the owners read my review and fix the issue. Because other than that, the concept of the place and product is perfect for me! Little donuts with light drizzle. Not big, extremely sugary donuts with mounts of sugary toppings that lose the flavor of the donut itself. We also ordered coffee, and it was good but not to our liking because the coffee was very acidic.

Went there for after dinner dessert. We ordered a 6-pack of the OG sour cream. It came freshly made and hot. It’s almost like they melt in your mouth. They are small donuts so they’re not too filling. They were so good and I would definitely come back for more. They have some benches to sit on while you wait or for you to devour your delicious donuts just as you get them. They also have coffee, milk, chocolate milk and chocolate mint. Looks like they only offer 3 flavors at a time and one of them changes weekly.
