Are Honey's and Mello worth the price? I went to Cartems once and I never went back because of the price.

I'm concerned that fresh made donuts, no pre-mix, are becoming a rare special treat due to how expensive they're becoming. At a certain point the taste of something does not justify the cost.

I definitely think Mello is worth the price. They're our favourite (we only like yeast ones, and have tried all the yeast ones above).

I still haven't found a mochi doughnut as good as mr. donuts in Japan though. The ones at ukoi cha taste right, and the texture is right, but they taste like oil :(

So close.

The only doughnut worth the money is the London Fog at Cartems. I really like Honey's but North Van is too far away. It's maybe a once a year treat. Mello is delicious and worth every damn penny!!
