One of the best donut places around and their breads are very underrated. Prices are fairly inexpensive. They are a bit greasy and can't eat too many. read more

Stopped in this morning and ordered three donuts -- a powdered jelly, a plain jelly, and a cinnamon sugar. Decent donuts, but honestly, I was not overwhelmed. I can only give Brooklyn Bakery 3 stars, I really can't see going outta my way to stop in again for average tasting donuts. I realize that all my fellow Yelpers are raving about the donuts here, but what am I missing ?? read more

Brooklyn Baking - Donuts Near Me - Waterbury, Connecticut

Like a taking a bite out of heaven. Best donuts on the planet. Soft like clouds the honey glazed is melt in your mouth dreamy

Finally got a chance to try Brooklyn Baking a couple weeks ago and brought some desserts to my family. I sampled the cream puff, an apple cupcake, a cinnamon & sugar donut, and a brownie. All of them were really good and my family enjoyed them. For me, the standout was the donut, which was light a fluffy and soo tasty. I hate dense donuts, and this was exactly the opposite. Definitely one of the better donuts I've had, and I would love to go back so I can have an entire one to myself instead of sharing. The staff was patient with me as I mulled over what to get, which was appreciated because I was exceptionally indecisive that day. I would love to try their bread and pizzas next time as well. read more

Brooklyn Baking - assorted desserts - Donuts Near Me - Waterbury, Connecticut

I don't know what magic ingredient they use in their donuts, but OMG they're the best I've had since I moved out of Fairfield (Devore's, sadly now defunct) in 1997. Glazed, Bavarian cream, chocolate - you can't go wrong with any of their selections. Worth the wait in line! read more

This place is a true donut shop. The real deal. We stopped in for a half-dozen, very reasonably priced. Honey glazed and Boston cream were a couple standouts, but they were all good. I feel confident saying that you can't go wrong with most options-let the donut person guide you! Coffee was just ok, but you are there for the donuts. read more

We' e stopped by here many times before to grab a bag of fresh rolls to make sandwiches on Sunday while watching a game. This time however we got the rolls but also decided to try the donuts. What a great surprise!!! They're an average size donut but the dough was delicious and the toppings and fillings were great!! We'll be going back soon for rolls and the donuts !! Do yourself a favor and try both !!! read more

Went back to Connecticut to visit after a long absence. First stop was Brooklyn Baking Company and had the best donuts and other breakfast pastries. Disappointed that the dark rye bread was unavailable. The Italian breads looked great! read more

The most amazing donuts I've ever had! The glazed is scrumptious! This is worth a stop.

They have the best donuts I've ever had in my life. Just make sure you get there early before the best donuts get picked over! These are truly life changing, you won't have a better donut anywhere else. read more

Best donuts. Yes, better than Dunkin' (are those even really donuts and in what year were they made?), better than Tim Horton's, better than Krispy Kreme and better than any donut place in your town (I am talking smack to you now Wallingford) where people line up around the corner and wait an hour for. Yes, they are better, I know you're skeptical, but I'm right on this one because I've been to both places. I've been to all the places. Your old favorites suck, these are the BEST! But don't stop at donuts, the bread and rolls here are also fantastic. Fresh Ryes, Pumpernickel and Italian, sliced or unsliced and fresh out of the oven. And then there's the hot (mostly breakfast) food. I'll give you a hint, it's made with their bread which is obviously very fresh and delicious, so that's phenomenal too. You ever had a grilled cheese on bread that just came out of the oven? Pull your favorite grilled cheese truck to the side of the road and check the born on date on their bread, Brooklyn bakery is better. Finally, there are several different dessert confections that you'll also like... cookies, cannoli, brownies and cupcakes to choose from if you like that kind of thing. Got a birthday coming up, try one of their freshly baked cakes. Add all of this to the easy in, easy out location between 2 exits and 2 entrances on I84 and plenty of parking just means that the convenience is astounding. Anyways, try these so you can tell your friends that you discovered this place and it is the best you ever had. read more

Really fantastic donuts. Had the plain, cinnamon sugar, frosted. All were very good. Will return soon.

Best donuts in town! Service is quick and efficient. Product is always fresh and in good quantity.

Great Customer Service ! I Love their donuts and breakfast sandwiches . Would recommend everyone to try them out .

Their glazed donuts are amazing!! Their service is quick and everyone is kind! I'll be back for some bread for sure!

I have pastries and Or donuts from this bakery every Sunday and they are always fresh and flavorful. Definitely won't find that at the chain coffee shops. It's worth the drive. Fast friendly service too read more

Awesome service food donuts and management here. Love this place.. I see why so many people support the people and home made products

At one time the Brooklyn Bakery made the best Lithuanian Rye Bread in the World. I remember as a child crunching my teeth into that golden crisp crust. The key to that crust was baking the bread in a coal fired oven. The new owners abandoned that brick oven on John Street in favor of an electric oven on Reidville Drive. They basically killed that original bread. I tried a loaf and it was the worst rye bread I ever ate. I wish the owners would go back to using the original dough formula and baking it in a brick lined coal fired oven. read more

Best glazed donut on earth!! They are so fresh and delicious! A staple in Waterbury! Showing up to work with a box of donuts from here is sure to turn every head when you walk in! read more

*Hidden gem* Where do I start. Best bakery in the Waterbury area making amazing donuts, too bread, down to breakfast sandwiches and sweets to-finish your coffee off! Stop by and grab your self a 6 or 12 piece donut. Love the workers and love there work. Keep it up. 10 outta 10 read more

Best bakery around!! They make amazing donuts here & as fast as they make them, they fly off the shelf even faster! Great place!

They have the greatest muffins! And I love buying the beads I've never had the donuts but here the great

Donuts and baked goods are legendary. The quality is consistently excellent.

Best donut and grilled cheese sandwiches out there!!! Hands down one of our favorite breakfast nooks

Ordered 50 donuts for a party by phone ahead of time. I made sure the time I would arrive and offered my credit card number. I even arrived 30 minutes earlier than I told. When I arrived the store, a girl at the register looked at me and said, "what happened to the donuts???" THEY SOLD MY ORDER TO SOMEONE ELSE. They care about selling more but don't care about the customers. They didn't remake for me. I ended up taking left-overs and I still had to pay for it. "I am sorry" is not enough. Not reliable and very unprofessional. Donuts might taste good but I don't want to deal with the hassle ever again. read more

Best donuts I've ever had...they're so delicious and fresh. And size is much bigger than your average Dunkin' donut sized pastry. The prices are also really cheap. Unfortunately, I was not a fan of their coffee though. Hopefully they step up their coffee game and maybe even add in some variety of flavors or cappuccinos. read more

UPDATE: In my continuing donut odyssey, I tried the Bavarian crème this weekend, and holy hell yes! Light and airy, with luscious melt on yo lips powdered sugar and not too much of a creamy, dreamy, but NOT cloyingly sweet cream feeling. Try it and thank me. read more

I literally came to this spot because of Yelp and now I'm writing a review about it on Yelp. Very interesting. Upside: This is truly a gem in Waterbury. When I drove up to the place, I thought that it was gonna be extremely small & almost congesting. NOT AT ALL. The place is so spacious, even though there was a continuous flow of customers there was still a lot of space. The outside of the place is very deceiving. Now let's talk about the food. I walked in and ask the lady what was their most popular donut. The first thing that came out of her mouth was the Honey Glazed Donut. She named off other flavors but I chose the Honey Glazed and let me tell you something. That donut is SO GOOD. I can actually say without a doubt that it is probably one of the best flavored donut I've had to date. In addition to the donut, which I ended up having two of (and regretting not having a 3rd) I had their breakfast plate with eggs, potatoes & bread. The potatoes were probably my favorite part of that plate. Well seasoned with a great texture. I also had a coffee, of course, it was very good as well. The workers were very nice and I loved the atmosphere of the place. I also loved the fact that they had random inspirational quotes randomly hanging from off the ceiling. Downside: Would you believe me if I told you I didn't have a downside? My biggest gripe when it comes to eating at places if I had a great experience is usually the parking but the parking was great here. So literally, no complains. At the end of the day - If you are in the area and want a very tasty donut, which are delicious and cheaper than ones from Dunkin Donuts, you will enjoy it a lot. Everything was decently priced and very good. I will definitely be back to try their sandwiches, flavored donuts & other baked goods. More likely than not, I will probably buy more Honey Glazed donuts, to be perfectly honest. read more

I don't know about anything else they sell BUT THE GLAZED DONUTS!!!!!!! I am newly & favorably familiar with. I was there twice this week, just for glazed donuts. Chefs kiss. The ladies @ the counter have great customer service!! read more

Great Bakery The Italian bread is outstanding Great pastry and the jelly donuts are to die for! read more

Best bakery I have found in the Waterbury area. This is one of our weekly stops to pick up Italian bread and rolls. While we're in there, we usually grab one of their homemade doughnuts or biscotti. Their doughnuts are on the smaller side, but they are fantastic. If you go in, don't leave without a bismarck! read more

This is one of the best Bakeries I've visited in CT. Conveniently located off I84 in Waterbury. Not a fancy interior but omg, the freshest, most delicious donuts and pastries in CT. Oh yeah, it's worth the early morning rise and drive to get these babies! Bring out-of-towner's here to delight their palettes! read more

You can not get better donuts and pastry anywhere in this area. The donuts are different than anything you've ever had before. Literally melt in your mouth. read more

I travel around the country quite a bit for business. Two things I always look for: a good coffee shop and a good donut shop. I like to consider myself a "donut connoisseur". Well, at the very least, I REALLY like donuts. Found Brooklyn Baking on Yelp and with this many great reviews, couldn't go wrong. Well, they only had 5 or 6 types to choose from, my fault, I came in at 1030 a.m. I opted for a cinnamon raised and a black raspberry filled powdered. The cinnamon was very good. But the jelly filled? Easily the BEST donut I have ever had, bar none. And I eat a LOT of donuts. Hard to describe how light and fluffy and amazing this thing was. Unreal. And to top it off, the girls working the counter were very friendly. If I ever get back to this area, I will go out of my way to come here again. I suggest you do the same. read more

Love brooklyn bakery best donut n pastry place ever. Come here every sunday we go to church n its amazing service all the time n very friendly. read more

I've never personally purchased from here but coworkers ALWAYS get donuts from here. Sometimes they offer really unique choices. However, their best donuts are their traditional styles (glazed, jelly donut and cinnamon sugar). I'd recommend Brooklyn Baking to anyone is thinking of picking up Dunkin Donuts. Treat your co-workers better than that. I do plan to stop by the bakery when I have some spare time to check it out and post pics. Definetly a step up from your average donuts. read more

Venturing off to visit 4 nephews in the Massachusetts area and can never go without donuts! So on our journey up 84, we decided to get off 84E at exit 25 and try this place for a quick breakfast sandwich and some sweets and naturally bring some. Ordered 2 sausage egg and cheese on a hard roll and a variety of sweets to go and to sample then. Sandwiches were solid although their version of the Portuguese roll is different than What i was accustomed to. After discovering this and them accommodating my mistake, I will tell you excellent breakfast sandwich on the Portuguese roll! 4.2/5 We sampled the cannoli which was good, not the best but the filling was good and not sweet but the shell was a little on the weak side and somewhat soggy. Boston cream was solid-great cream filling in a nice fluffy airy dough...didn't care for the chocolate though-had a fake taste to it like it was made with shortening, starch or some type of syrup...the chocolate topping could actually peel off and looks like smudge. The honey glazed had phenomenal texture but is way too sweet as many other yelpers have noted. The jelly glazed was a little notch better than good. The jelly is the best you'll find on this side of the state. The staff here is so attentive and on point that they get a 5/5, no question! Worth a trip...yeah, I would say BUT Neil's still takes on the trophy for best donuts, but this place will not disappoint and if in the area, do yourself a favor and chow down. A dozen donuts ring in at $8 Great old wooden counter that was in original bakery hosts your eating experience! Great little spot with some history and an excellent energetic attentive young staff who focus on their customers and not their cell phones-loved that Changing this to a 5 star-solid consistent donuts, well priced and great staff...Neil's still has the best Boston cream but BB has the best Bavarian donut! Great spot, I assure you! read more
