So glad to have another casual donut shop around other than Tim Hortons. The donuts here are bigger and tastier. Although my Bismarck could have had more filling, lol. I liked the breakfast bagel sandwiches, but I originally wanted a brekwich but they ran out of brekwich bread, so I had to pay an extra dollar to have it on a bagel :( Their sausage has a mild spicy kick which was a pleasant surprise. Looking forward to trying more items from their menu.

Their "sausage egg brekwich" with hashbrowns, a regular coffee and a plain doughnut as well as the "Simple Breakfast" are great offerings. The "brekwich" was awesome. The hashbrown was good, on par with a "Cavendish" brand hashbrown patty. The plain doughnut was great and moist, it certainly beats the dry plain doughnut from Tim's, it is on par with Mavericks plain doughnut. This morning the doughnut was more vanilla forward than yesterday, but both days I found it a tad salty, still good though. The regular black coffee was also great, a smell of caramel, a slight hazelnutty taste and strong. I would definitely return for the coffee alone.

First of all, donuts were absolutely phenomenal. Best apple fritters in ottawa hands down, and I’ve been to all donut locations. Will definitely be back for more. The food however left much to be desired. Bread was very doughy, peppers and onions were unseasoned on my philly cheesesteak. Given the price you can’t expect much meat, but that just makes the large amount of bread with each bite stand out even more. Overall, definitely come for the donuts but stay away from the food.

Very excited to have Robins open a location in Ottawa! Very tasty, and great value. Far better than the competition. My first visit there was some miscommunication which resulted in a minor mix-up, but the manager was quick to fix the situation and clearly cares about each customer having a great experience at his restaurant. Thank you, looking forward to returning again soon!

Staff are so nice and friendly but too slow, we got breakfast sandwiches and wrap as well as donuts and coffee, and we had to wait too long to receive our orders, though. All the food was tasty. The place is clean, well-decorated, ..and comfortable.
