Vancouver’s Beloved Cartems Donuts to Close After 14 Sweet Years
It’s a bittersweet moment for Vancouverites as Cartems Donuts, the iconic gourmet donut shop, prepares to close its doors permanently after 14 incredible years of serving the community. February 14, Valentine’s Day, will mark their final day of operation, making it a poetic yet poignant farewell. For fans of their fluffy donuts and creative flavors, it’s an end of an era that will leave a donut-shaped void in Vancouver’s culinary scene.
Cartems has long been celebrated for its innovative lineup of donuts, from classic treats to unique creations like Honey Parmesan and vegan-friendly options that drew in dessert lovers of all preferences. Their first permanent location on Pender Street opened in 2013, but the brand had already gained popularity through pop-ups prior to that. Over the years, they expanded to neighborhoods like Mount Pleasant and Kitsilano, becoming a cornerstone of Vancouver’s food culture.

However, the journey hasn’t been without its challenges. In 2021, the Kitsilano location closed, followed by the flagship Pender Street shop in November 2023 due to redevelopment pressures. Despite these setbacks, Cartems continued to operate with its Mount Pleasant and Coquitlam locations. Now, both remaining shops—at 2190 Main Street and #4-91 Golden Drive—will close, ending the story of this cherished local business.
In a heartfelt message shared on social media, the Cartems team expressed gratitude to their loyal customers. “Your unwavering support has been the heart of Cartems. From warm smiles to heartfelt conversations, you’ve filled our shop with joy and unforgettable memories.” They encouraged fans to pre-order their favorite donuts before the final day to savor a last taste of what has become a Vancouver favorite.
For anyone who has experienced the joy of biting into a Cartems donut, this farewell is a bittersweet one. The memories and flavors they’ve provided over the years will undoubtedly linger long after their doors close. Make sure to grab a final box of these iconic treats and toast to the end of an extraordinary legacy.
