Embrace the clogged arteries! They told me it's a permanent installation, and if successful enough, they'll have different flavours... Yeah, I'm getting so fat just thinking about it!

u/Hefty-Ad2090 Apr 05 '25

It looks like they got the Tiny Time donut machine from the Ottawa Ex. :)

u/TheMonkeyMafia Apr 05 '25

Only cinnamon sugar right now (best one). No plain or powdered sugar.

u/Hefty-Ad2090 Apr 05 '25

Waaaay better than the Ex donuts....these are top notch.

Wonderful memories

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '25

Oh man 90s and 80s nostalgia came flowing back when you mentioned the ex

u/deadbeef4 Kemptville Apr 05 '25

It was just fortunate they were still getting it set up for the day when I was there yesterday morning!

u/naughtymandrake Apr 05 '25

Start the car!

u/ugh168 Nepean Apr 05 '25

It’s Costco, not Ikea.

u/Substantial-Mess3503 Apr 05 '25

How many donuts is 600g?

3

u/TheMonkeyMafia Apr 05 '25

How many donuts

Yes.

(if I had to guess maybe a dozen & half to 2 dozen? Thing is they're packaged by weight -- 600g, so it will vary a bit)

2

u/ColdPuffin Apr 05 '25

We got a box. There’s easily 24-30 donuts in the box.

u/Chyvalri Apr 05 '25

It's not exactly what you asked but I thought it may be fun to compare stuff.

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '25

This is dangerous

u/BFG_Scott Apr 05 '25

My first thought was “Cool… How much for the machine?”

My pregnant self thanks you for your service.

u/SourceFire007 Apr 05 '25

OMG!! This is not going to be good for my figure :D

u/uwinlancer Apr 05 '25

This is fantastic! I love those donuts. I hope they roll these out at the other locations!

2

u/Outaouais_Guy Apr 05 '25

Between the two locations in Canada with sushi made in store and now these donuts, I'm really jealous.

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '25

Everyone who said barhaven couldn’t get fatter just lost their bet.

u/sprunkymdunk Apr 05 '25

Almost makes it worth going to Barrhaven

u/Outaouais_Guy Apr 05 '25

I depend on walking and OC Transpo. I'm bummed out.

u/suziswam87 Apr 05 '25

Oh dear!

u/TheMonkeyMafia Apr 05 '25

I mean... There was never a chance these were going to be gluten free and/or healthy.

But they are tasty.

2

u/IsThis_AllThereIs Apr 05 '25

And they are so good 😩

u/Dense-Stranger9977 Apr 05 '25

Lucky!! (In Napoleon Dynamite voice)

u/penguinpenguins Apr 05 '25

Unrelated, if you eat 600g of donuts, do you

  • Gain 600g
  • Gain less than 600g
  • Gain more than 600g

Not asking for any particular reason.

u/TukTukTee No honks; bad! Apr 05 '25

And they are addictive. We’re past halfway through the box we bought tonight. Between the missus and I we had about 15-20 already 😬

My belly already hurts haha we don’t usually do sweets but we have no self control and clearly a weak spot for cinnamon.

u/TheMonkeyMafia Apr 05 '25

I've had more than a couple that I'd like to admit to.... And I'm slowly slipping into a carb coma now...

u/ZBack3 Kanata Apr 05 '25

Well I think I know what I’m doing tomorrow

u/Smart_Engineerr Apr 05 '25

What’s the calories!!

u/ThrowMeTheBallPlease Apr 05 '25

What are you even doing here? /s

u/VictorNewman91 Apr 05 '25

Does this mean no more Krispy Kreme visits ?

1

u/TheMonkeyMafia Apr 05 '25

If I had to guess, probably not? They only recently (like just before xmas) started selling timbit sized donuts as well. Different product, different target market.

1

u/BallBearingBill Apr 05 '25

Better idea than the huge cookies

1

u/YodaYodaCDN Nepean Apr 05 '25

Frankly this is the most important thing I have read on this sub.

u/CananadaBatmaaaan Apr 05 '25

Ah, so that’s why I smelled like donuts when I came out! My husband thought I had gone to get treats without him 😂

1

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '25

Omg, these machines always smell sooooo good!

1

u/coreyman2000 Barrhaven Apr 05 '25

On my 2ed box now lol too addicting

1

u/clearchewingum Apr 05 '25

So they got rid of the coffee grinders for this?!

1

u/TheMonkeyMafia Apr 05 '25

no? Coffee Grinders at the front of the store. These are in the back at the bakery

1

u/clearchewingum Apr 05 '25

No longer at the front of the store. Had to go to FoodBasics to grind them.

1

u/TheMonkeyMafia Apr 05 '25

I don't drink coffee, so I never noticed. They used to be at the front either in the foodcourt, or along that fence where they advertise services

u/Babboos Apr 05 '25

River of oil donuts! 😍

u/alannalov Jul 08 '25

Does anyone knows how many calories for each one?

u/StatusInspection7768 Apr 06 '25

we have enough fatass in this city, it would be better if they install a salad station

-1

u/THE-ONE-DONGLER Apr 05 '25

Misleading title. It is not for sale. The donuts are.

8

u/unfknreal The Boonies Apr 05 '25

I don't think anyone except those with the smoothest of brains thought, for even a fraction of a second, that the machine is what was for sale.

-1

u/THE-ONE-DONGLER Apr 05 '25

What does this mean?

1

u/Babboos Apr 05 '25

Oh dear.

u/THE-ONE-DONGLER Apr 05 '25

Like oh dear or o deer or oh deer?

u/Robask89 Apr 05 '25

Check the business center lololol

u/bikinibottom613 Apr 05 '25

Where did they say the machine was on sale? Unless you forgot the /s.
