People in Toronto are obsessed with this under-the-radar new donut shop

A sweet new donut shop just opened in Toronto, and it's already making a huge splash among those in the know.

Whether you prefer the real deal or opt instead for the precious centre nugget that emerges as a valuable byproduct of its construction, donuts are, simply put, the perfect sweet treat when done right.

Light and fluffy, coated in something extra sugary, I'm not sure they're ultimately appropriate as breakfast foods, no matter how hard Big Donut has tried to push that rhetoric, but they sure make a great pick-me-up.

While Toronto certainly isn't wanting for great donut shops — I'm partial to Better Days myself — you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who would complain about a new one opening its doors.

Coinciding with the arrival of Montreal's Homie's Donuts in Scarborough, yet another shop has opened its doors in midtown near Yonge and Eglinton, spreading some welcome sweetness across the city.

Meet Dang Good Donuts. No, that's not a testament to the quality of their donuts (I'll be the judge of that the next time I haul myself to Yonge and Eglinton), but rather the name of the vibrant, lime-green donut shop that quietly opened its doors at the corner of Yonge and Castefield earlier this month.

With a name like that, you've got to be confident in your product and, judging by early reviews, the team has every right to be.

Though Dang Good Donuts is still in a semi-soft opening stage, it's already amassed an impressive 4.9-star rating on Google across 86 reviews at the time of publication, with some customers decreeing the shop's donuts as some of the best in Toronto.

The concise menu is divided into three categories: originals, specialty, and "bougee," boasting flavours such as cinnamon sugar, strawberry cheesecake, and Dubai chocolate, respectively.

If you wanted to eat them for breakfast, I wouldn't blame you.

Dang Good Donuts is located at 2487 Yonge St.
