New York has Underwest and Dough, Portland has Blue Star and Vancouver has Cartems.
Owned by doughnut dreamer Jordan Cash and Executive Chef Rags, Cartems has grown from an idea, to a pop up shop that simply couldn't keep up with demand to the donuterie is is today, boasting three locations in Downtown, Main Street and Kitsilano.
Artisanal doughnuts galore! Including glazed, cake, raised-yeast and huzzahhhh gluten-free! I loved the cakey Honey Parmesan for glutards and the seasonal Christmas beauties. You haven't been to Vancouver if you don't walk around with a beautiful red box full of the good stuff under your arm.
