    Black Raven amazing
    Ivanka B.

    As I remembered pre-Covid days - the space has expanded (or moved) not quite sure but service was quick and friendly. Donuts exceptional. Love that they elevated the options and I'm a "cream filled" girl so the Black Raven or whatever it's called and the Boston Creme with dark chocolate ganache were perfect for enjoying half at a time (and then devouring like a fat a**)

    Key lime pie (green) Blackberry pear (the sugared one) Earl gray (with the crumbles)

    Line out the door, donuts, coffee, sign me up. The line moves fast, and the servers are nice when you're trying tod decide which to go with - so don't let a crowd deter you. First time here and we went with the key lime donut, earl gray and blackberry pear. Earl gray was the weak link. It didn't have any early gray flavor, however the cream filling was quite nice, subtly sweet and overall the donut itself was great texture wise. Just flat out missed on flavor. The blackberry pear was good- a little more pear emphasis than blackberry, and if you're thinking "pear doesn't have a ton of flavor as is....?", you're catching on. This donut was also missing on flavor a hit- not as much as the earl gray though. It was good. Wasn't a fan of the sugar coating though, too gritty for me. Key lime pie donut is where it's at. I assume this won't stay for the fall so hop on it while you can. If I could have gotten 3 of these instead of the other 2, I would have. It packed zestiness, creamy custard filling, pie crumbles, the whole gambit. The patio was covered in crumbs- and now I know why. People were probably eating this winner of a donut. Be selective. But I don't know, they're donuts, have fun.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a few years now, and after having been to a yelp event about 10-minutes away, we planned to make this our next stop. It's a cute location across the street from the Mystic Aquarium. We ended up ordering a half dozen donuts and a couple of cookies. There was only 1 employee there that I could see. I went back in line to grab a coffee and a chocolate chip cookie. Didn't bother to check the bag it was in, until we got home. 90-minutes later. It wasn't a chocolate chip cookie. I don't know what it was. I'm assuming their cannoli cookie? Either way, it wasn't for me. I can't speak for my traveling companions for the day, but I did cut a bite of both the maple donut and the vanilla glaze, and wasn't impressed. The maple needed more ... maple flavor. The vanilla was dry. There's way better places in CT for amazing donuts, but for myself, Deviant was just meh.

    Carrot Cake Fritter

    Very very good. Ordered 2 Caramel Iced Lattes and a carrot cake fritter. Very quick and friendly staff. My only regret was not trying more! They change their menu monthly with 12 new donuts. Cant wait to try next months.

    I can never make it here in the morning, so I had a friend pick some up for us this time! And for that reason, I wish there was another one in the state!! This time we got the a coconut and caramel drizzled donut with a Boston cream and a white chocolate turtle on top

    Samoan donut

    Delicious donuts! Quick service considering the fast forming line, and lots of outdoor seating to enjoy your sweet treats. All of our donuts were delicious, my favorite was the "Samoan" but it he vanilla glaze and double chocolate were the equally delicious. A perfect sweet treat or breakfast before exploring mystic village!

    Pizza donut

    The line was out the door and the donut choices were limited by the time we got there around 3pm on Saturday of holiday weekend. Line went fast. Service was friendly and helpful. Got a seasonal special cookie iced latte and it was delicious! The pizza donut was so generous, we shared it. Fluffy tasty dough, with a caramel creme. It made me happy just to experience it. Loved it here. Absolutely will come back next time we are here. It's a walk in/walk out place with some tables on a porch. We were fortunate to get a table. Great donuts and coffee choices. Fair pricing. Loved it!

    Orange creamsicle and vanilla sprinkle
    Veronica K.

    I really liked this place! The cream they use in their donuts is phenomenal - super light and fluffy. The best thing I had here was their pistachio donut. The pistachio cream and icing was absolutely delicious! I also had their orange creamsicle cake donut which was filling, and their drip coffee was pretty good. My husband said his cortado was so-so and his lemon cookie was kind of dry, but at least I got some good items. It's a bit pricy for what it is, but look where it's located. Overall though, I think this is a good spot.

    de·vi·ant - departing from usual or accepted standards. And that's EXACTLY what these donuts do. Food We had the Petite Four, and it was really decadent. Rich but not overwhelming, with just the right amount of sweetness. It was kind of like a jelly donut. We also got the carrot cake donut. The cream cheese frosting was amazing, but the donut was not like a carrot cake at all. Not bad, just not a carrot cake. More a spice cake, in my opinion. I also grabbed two classic glazed donuts for the kids, and they loved them. The texture was soft, the glaze had that perfect light crackle, and everything tasted super fresh. We both tried different featured beverages and they were both good but the flavors were not strong enough. Ambiance The ambiance is adorable, natural chic, and fits the Mystic vibe perfectly. It's a small space, though, so don't expect to hang out inside. Service It was pretty packed when we went, but the staff was incredibly patient and friendly. Even with a line, they never made us feel rushed. And literally, as soon as we left, the line was out the door! It's located inside Olde Mistick Village, which makes it a great stop during a stroll. The menu rotates with creative, themed donuts, so there's always something new to try. Deviant Donuts absolutely lives up to its name. If you're in Mystic, don't skip it.

    Oregon donut

    We stopped in one morning while waiting for the Mystic Aquarium to open across the street. I had the Oreo Donut which was great, and a tall drip coffee. We enjoyed our breakfast on the deck, as there is no indoor seating. The staff was friendly and we loved the little grouping of storefronts.

    I came back to Deviant Donuts recently on a Saturday morning. There wasn't much of a line waiting to get inside. I liked how their menu was different from the last time I went there. I ordered the Mimosa (Jelly Filled) donut and M&M Cookie. Each were $3.95. The orange champagne jam inside the mimosa donut was very good and there was a good amount of filling. The cookie was soft and a good size. On the deck, there were about 6 tables and we sat at one of the tables. It was nice to enjoy our treats before walking around Olde Mistick Village more.

    Deviant Donuts is located in Olde Mistick Village near the aquarium. My donut reviews have evolved into two rating categories. Classic donut shops with familiar donuts like glazed, blueberry cake and Boston Creams with customer friendly pricing (the average cost per donut is typically less than $2 if you buy at least a 1/2 dozen) is Category 1. "Gourmet" Donut Shops with more elaborate donuts and higher prices per donut is Category 2. You can't fairly compare the two. If you had a donut from each category on a plate, you'd almost always choose the second category because it's probably bigger, flashier and tastes more like a dessert than the donuts you grew up with. But if you had to pay the higher price for that more elaborate donut, you might very well pick the cheaper classic donut. Especially if you're buying a dozen for guests. At a cost of about $3.65 to $3.95 per donut, Deviant Donuts is Category 2. Some of the donuts (Vanilla Glazed, Boston Cream, Double Chocolate, and Chocolate Sprinkled) are not especially elaborate, but they're bigger than traditional donuts and cost more. I'm a big fritter fan. So I went with the Blackberry Pear Fritter. It was good, but at $3.95, I'd prefer the elaborate donuts available from other Category 2 places, and cheaper donuts from Category 1 places. Also, I didn't detect much pear flavor and I prefer a fritter with some crispier parts. I know Deviant Donuts has many fans. I'm more of a Category 1 Donut Shop guy. If I want to spend around $4 or more, I'd rather get a cupcake. 4 Stars

The service was okay while the food came out in a timely manner. I liked that some of the fish items listed the fishing vessel on the menu. Three appetizers were ordered which consisted of a beet pickled deviled egg ($4 each), chilled oysters (Half Dozen $18), and the local fluke crudo ($17). The egg had a crispy clam strip and espelette pepper. This was solid. I thought the clam strip was a little too overpowerful given the size of that and the egg. The pickled beet egg was interesting, and I liked how the filling was also under the egg, so the egg did not move. The Riverhawk oysters were fresh and tasty. The mignonette was simple and paired well. The crudo had an herb mayo, pickled ramps, kelp crisp, and pickled sugar kelp. This was alright. It seemed like fennel or a similar type of herb was used in one of the pickling items, which took over a little bit. The kelp crisp was nice and paired well with the fluke. For an entrée, I had the local scup a la plancha ($37). It came with Marshall Cove mussels, fondant potato, English peas, and a saffron emulsion. This was a nice sized portion. I thought the saffron emulsion was key and went together with everything else on the plate. The mussels were fresh again, and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. It was a well-done dish, but the use of scup made it feel more modest, but maybe that was the point, so what do I know? I also tried the scallop dish that came with green crab crispy rice, chili crispy, and a garlic aioli. The rice was very crispy, and it reminded me of a traditional hibachi rice, but elevated. The scallops had a perfect cook to them too. For dessert, the oyster ice cream ($10) was tried. It had to be tasted when it was on the menu. It had a slight briny flavor, but nothing too overpowerful. The ice cream itself was very creamy with a nice texture. I believe Greek yogurt was used, which probably helped with the oyster flavor that was incorporated. Will I go back? Sure.

Lettuce and tomato were on the side which was good because the burger was so big before adding them that you wouldn't be able to get a bite of it.

The bao buns were topped with sliced cucumbers, spring onions, carrots, and some type of sweet hoisin sauce it appeared. The chicken was very crispy and tasty. The bun was okay. It was a little tough. I did enjoy the sweet factor from the sauce to pair with the hot and crunchy chicken. The Mystic River roll had tuna, salmon, mango, as well as avocado topped with spicy mayo and was wrapped in a rice wrapper. This was alright. There was a lot of mayo present, which took away from the fish flavor, but it still was not bad. The rice wrapper was an interesting choice, but overall, okay. Will I go back? Probably.

And if your reply is you'd never go to a chain, there's probably not much more to discuss. I've quipped that I can't make an autobiographical movie because Todd Solondz would sue me for plagiarism but part of my founding narrative was an overly simplistic take on cities vs. rural areas. If Twitter existed when I was 14 my account would have been the most vitriolic assortment of anti-NYC videos. (California tumbles into the sea, that'll be the day I go back to Fresh Meadows). After years of Mellencamp-fueled thoughts of farms and trees, I actually got to spend some time in the country and eventually realized I'm more of a faux-rural type. For example: I like the hiking trails and dark skies in New Paltz but I'm glad you can get there by bus or buy a coffee at 2AM. In recent years I've been on a Mystic kick. I like the crickets, stars and unexpected animals (well, not that fox that seemed weirdly unafraid of human contact). But I'm also glad that iced Americanos are a short walk away. The beverages have been perfect and the service has been friendly every time. I certainly appreciate the existence of the outdoor seating even if I didn't choose it on this late-September excursion.
