From its Brossard strip mall, Deux Becs is the city’s best-kept secret when it comes to donuts. Here, chef and owner-operator Art Romero makes pastries that balance nostalgia with wild creativity: From ube pandan bars to mandarin marmalade with toasted marshmallow cream, every batch is small-batch, handmade, and unapologetically original. The LA-born chef infuses his West Coast roots into the shop’s laid-back, community-driven atmosphere, where the vibe is as important as the food.
What started as a pop-up at Café Kuya quickly morphed into a permanent fixture, with a loyal following and daily sellouts. While classics will hold their ground, Romero constantly pushes boundaries—think guava-stuffed brioche, Tajín-dusted mango, or even a donut-bun smashburger.
The philosophy is simple: If it’s not worth getting stoked over, it doesn’t make the cut.
