A pastry shop in Montreal is making trekking in the snow a little sweeter — but with a catch.
CRémy Pâtisserie is giving out a free donut to those who show up in skis or snow shoes.
According to the shop, a couple of dozen people have braved the more than 40 centimetres of snow on the ground to claim their free treat.
“Storms are always seen in a negative light and we said, ‘we’ll change that’,” explained Alexandra Pesant-Tremblay who works at the shop.

Some of the donut treats include bourbon-bacon, cheesecake and Boston creme flavors. “They’re the size of three Tim Horton’s donuts!” Pesant-Tremblay exclaimed proudly.
The shop is located at 2202 avenue Mont-Royal Est. It closes at 6:00 p.m.
