About Lee's Donuts


Lee's Donuts is a classic mom and pop donut shop in Lower Lonsdale serving handmade treats based on original 1979 recipes at 124 West 1st Street.

Walking along West 1st Street in Lower Lonsdale often leads to a familiar scent drifting from unit 100 at 124 West 1st Street. This mom and pop shop traces its roots back to Alan and Betty-Ann Lee, who developed their original recipes at Granville Island Public Market in 1979. That long-standing tradition means the focus here remains on handmade classics rather than fleeting trends, which feels right for a neighborhood that values substance over hype. The daily hours run from 9 AM to 8 PM, making it a reliable stop before heading down to the Shipyards or after wrapping up errands near Lonsdale Quay. It is the kind of place where you can grab a quick coffee companion without needing to navigate a complicated menu.

The selection leans heavily into those time-tested favorites, with the Honey Dip yeast donut standing out as the most popular choice according to the shop. Cake options are equally traditional, ranging from Dutch crumb and butter crunch to German chocolate and the playful Cookie Monster. If you are planning for an office meeting or a weekend gathering on the North Shore, remember that pre-orders require at least 48 hours notice and are only confirmed once you receive an email. Delivery through DoorDash and Uber Eats is also linked for rainy days when leaving home feels like too much effort. For residents in Moodyville and Central Lonsdale, having this practical takeout option nearby simplifies everything from morning routines to last-minute dessert needs.
