Who wants Donuts?!
While a neighbourhood can be distinctive for its architecture, landscape, or housing stock, sometimes what really stands out are the Mom & Pop shops, cafes, and restaurants that make that neighbourhood feel like Home. In Dovercourt Village, an emerging enclave that is gaining traction among young families, the one that always makes us smile is Better Days Coffee & Donuts – situated smack-dab in the heart of the community at Hallam Street & Dovercourt Road.
In a time when specialty donut and cupcake shops are making a name for themselves with wilder flavours and outlandish twists, Better Days has found success by specializing in the Canadian classics, like the maple dip, apple fritter, and French cruller. Owner Dave Fish opened Better Days in late 2023, and already this sweet spot has become a treasured community favourite.
Customers from within the community and without are drawn to the carefully curated midcentury atmosphere which hearkens back to a time when donut diners were all the rage! With their bright orange and blue tiled counter and “atomic-grade kitsch” decor (Toronto Life), Better Days feels like a 1960s time capsule in the very best way!
Whenever you’re here, treating yourself to a chocolate dip or boston cream – perfectly paired with a hot drip coffee – it truly is a Better Day!

Want to have someone on your side?
Since 1989, I’ve steered my career through a real estate market crash and burn; survived a slow painful cross-country recession; completed an M.E.S. graduate degree from York University called ‘Planning Housing Environments’; executed the concept, sales & marketing of multiple new condo and vintage loft conversions; and guided hundreds of clients through the purchase and sale of hundreds of freehold and condominium dwellings across the original City of Toronto. From a gritty port industrial city into a glittering post-industrial global centre, I’ve navigated the ebbs and flows of a property market as a consistent Top Producer. And I remain as passionate about it today as when I started.
