Pillowy soft doughnuts with Asian flavours? Start the car. START THE CARRRRR!
Corpuz Bakeshop is a small family-run bakery that got their start selling doughnuts at Bountiful Farmers' Market. I remember going to the market one day specifically for their doughnuts only to find out that they were closed that day. Just my luck.
But the universe finally listened to my prayers because in addition to their Bountiful stall, they opened up their very own storefront (north of the river!) in the neighbourhood of Eastwood. The store sits just off 118 Ave, directly across from Eastwood Park, with easy parking in front. Keep in mind that the bakery is only open Thursday to Sunday, with their market stall open Friday to Sunday. Go early on market weekends because they do sell out!
Corpuz sells brioche doughnuts stuffed with a variety of fillings. The doughnuts are dusted with sugar or polvoron, which is a crumbly Filipino shortbread cookie. Some of their flavours are Asian-inspired, including ube, leche flan, macapuno (coconut), Thai pandan kaya, and durian. Other flavours include strawberry, raspberry macarpone, Oreo, and Biscoff.
During our first visit (yes, I've already gone back), we got 2 x durian, Thai pandan kaya, leche flan, macapuno, and ube. They've increased their prices just slightly since my visit but expect doughnuts to range in price from $5.50 to $5.80.
The doughnuts are soft and fluffy with a generous amount of whipped filling in each. Flavours are light but not subtle, and definitely "not too sweet." My parents especially love the durian flavour. My favourites that I've tried so far are the leche flan and Biscoff, both caramel-like and extremely satisfying.
Look how loaded!
We're pretty spoiled when it comes to doughnuts in Edmonton, but Corpuz is quickly becoming a favourite of mine. Some may argue it's a little pricey for a doughnut but to me, it's an artisan product made with the utmost care. It's definitely worth it for me.
