    Lemon!
    Terri D.

    These are just really fantastic. My boss brings in 3 dozen of these bad boys (donuts) to our staff lounge every Friday morning. Always look forward to which one I'll be trying each week. Their french crullers are light, airy and perfectly glazed - my favorite. Those powdered jelly filled ones on the other hand will be a heavy bomb to your body and will leave you full all day. Regardless, they are the best around!

    I took the last ones!

    Donuts are great! Get there early or place an order because they're so good that they sell out!

    Neil's Donuts OG location is bright and welcoming with lots of friendly faces! Go early and know what you want because it gets busy inside. The whole family loves the donuts, definitely worth the drive every time.

    Definitely worth the hype! Walked in and the line was almost out the door, but that didn't stop the staff from being quick but friendly with getting their customers situated. I purchased a dozen of donuts of various flavors and honestly it was a great price 17.45. Mind you I even got a few filled donuts such as the key lime and apple filled. No seating in Neil's however that does not take away from how great Neil's Donuts is! Wish I was closer!

    Neil's Donuts is an absolute gem! We unfortunately live out of state but if we lived nearby we'd be here all the time. The selection is huge with donuts, breakfast sandwiches, muffins and coffee, and while the lines can be long, they move quickly. Pro tip: check out the menu online ahead of time so you're ready to order. The staff is fantastic--friendly, patient, and efficient, even with the crowd. The donuts themselves are out of this world. My favorite was the honey dipped, while my husband loved the blueberry crumble. Their filled donuts are especially impressive--split in half and packed with a generous amount of filling. Every bite just melts in your mouth. If you're anywhere near Neil's, don't pass this place up. It's worth the trip!

    Delicious donuts here that are always made fresh and they are huge! Easy in and out . Staff is friendly and accommodating. Prices are fair too.

    All I can say is "Next!" If you are a sinfeld fan you will know. But I'm all honesty what a great place. Even though you move through the line at the speed of lightning you are treated with respect. Friendly staff, great prices and delicious donuts. You have to be crazy to drive by. It is worth a day trip.

    Thanks Suzanne from Newtown. They're delicious   Apple crumb 11.3.20 Election Day

    2.2.25 This is one of those long overdue & well deserved reviews. I was here on election day 11.3.20 to try them for the first time. They did not disappoint at all. I was here a half hour before they closed and they were still very fresh. They were just about sold out but the slim pickings were fresh. The staff was very pleasant. This place started picking up and they were about to close. I was surprised to see this. I tried a few different donuts. The apple filled, apple crumb that was also apple filled, powdered jelly & boston cream. All of the donuts were filled plenty with their respective filings which was a delight to see for a change. Fresh, light & fluffy. Quality ingredients. The closer I looked, these donuts look like sandwich. Each that I studied looked like a sandwich filled with yummy goodness. It looks like they construct it as a sandwich which is kind of cool & different. The look of the place inside and out is a no frills plain generic look to it. Nothing wrong with that at all. Just saying. I don't need a place to look good. I only need a clean establishment with great food. I've been back here too many times to count since my first endeavor on an epic election day in 2020. They're doing everything right here. No problems at all. They keep you coming back for more.

    stopped at Neil's Donuts before work this morning and i can't believe how busy it was so early in the morning! The staff is so quick and efficient and the whole place smells like sweets galore (as it should). Not only are the donuts are amazing, but all the donuts are packed with flavors and their toppings and yet so light and fluffy! And only $2 a donut? Most places would charge almost $4 for these types of donuts! Wherever you are in Connecticut, it is truly worth the trip!

    They are an amazing company. They donate several storage containers 2-4 for my church's local food pantry ministry known as GLOW.

    Ask the Community - Neil's Donuts

    If I call ahead to come by to pickup an order, can I do curbside pickup?

    Yes curbside is available. We also have Uber eats in the Wallingford store and DoorDash in the Middletown location if that would help too

    What time does one have to be there to get a coffee roll?

    Everyday is completely different. Ever since the article about our coffee rolls it’s hard to keep up with demand. Some days they sell out early. Other days were throwing them out. It depends on social media. Everytime they release the story it goes… Read more

    Can you call ahead to order donuts/bagels to be picked up at a specific time?

    Yes in fact I recommend doing so

    How much is a donut?

    $49.95 plus tax.

    Do they sell gift certificates?

    Yes

    What's the prices?

    Depends on what you are comparing to. Let's use DD. If you were buying a muffin, DD's are $1.79 and have a cake like texture. Neil's are like a muffin and larger. Danish you can't get anywhere except a bakery. Neil's are so huge it's ridiculous and… Read more

    I was looking for a sweet treat in the area and came across Mighty Donuts and let me tell you it…read morewas absolutely amazing. As of today I've already made the drive twice to get donuts here. The menu has plenty of options with the ability to customize literally everything to your liking. I decided to get a 12 count mini donut with cinnamon sugar, Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, and cinnamon roll drizzle and it was phenomenal! The spot itself is super cute inside and it's located in a mini plaza with a couple other things around. They have an entire wall dedicated to a chalk board that you are free to write on. As well as a plastic axe throwing board that you can entertain your self with while they prepare your donuts. Both times I've gone I only waited about 10-15 minutes for my items to be ready which was super nice. I would definitely recommend this spot to any donut lovers!

    "Question number three, Will you dine and dance with me?"…read more(Chuck Berry) When you order one of their Puerto Rican style mini donuts, you'll be asked three questions. #1 - do you want your donut "plain" or sprinkled with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar? #2 - Do you want your donut glazed with a flavorful icing drizzle? You'd better study the menu in advance, because there are over 20 choices including Dulce De Leche, Pistachio, and Maple Syrup. #3 - How about a sprinkle of toppings over your iced drizzle? How about choosing among 15 possibles, including Biscoff Cookie crumbles, Chips Ahoy crumbs, and Fruity Pebbles? The base price for donuts without a drizzle or a topping is $4.75 for a half dozen. You can go up to a 40-count bucket for $20. Charges are extra for the drizzles and toppings. We picked up a box of six mini donuts with various drizzles -no toppings - and were charged around $11. And honestly, that seems high because a six-piece sampler with drizzle and topping included was listed on the menu at $7. So, something weird happened at the register and we missed it. The service was great under the circumstances, because there was just one person working there and she was dealing with our order and two prior orders simultaneously. We saw her making shakes and making donuts for the other two parties between the time we ordered and the time she started making our order. From the time we walked in, to the time we walked out, it was a 30-minute experience. Accordingly, I did see some improvement opportunities for increased staffing and clearer pricing. The donuts were great -super cute and delicious. The store is cute too, with plenty of color and graphics. The donuts are made to order, so be sure you get close to the left side of the counter and see your donut dough dropped into the hot oil, float downstream, get flipped over, then dropped onto a cooling tray.

    (Last visited January 10, 2025.) I've been coming to The Eatery in Wallingford for safe-to-say,…read moreyears. A few of my foodie friends put me on game regarding this place that's about a 25-minute drive for me, but always so worth it. Here's why I love it so much! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set in the center of Wallingford a little off of the main drag of Center Street is this humble gem. You can park on the street for free if there's space or in the plaza parking lot right up the block from them. Once in the door you're welcomed by several smiling faces and that makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE! This place is predominately made for takeout. There are no physical tables, but you certainly can pop a squat on the benches near the back of the restaurant if you'd like. Service: There isn't necessarily table service since all you do is order at the counter and wait until your name is called, but the people there are so sweet, soft and will just make your day! They're also full of personality and their social media posts are super funny. Lol. Food: I've had several things from their menu here including the Backyard BBQ Sandwich, Savannah Wrap, Vegan BBQ Mac & Jack Bowl, The Hungry Slope, BCB, Roast Beef and more! These are some of the highest quality, made-with-love sandwiches, tastiest, creative sandwiches around! I just love how every several months they change the menu up introducing new flavors for the season so you never know what you're gonna get! Of course the favorites stay on the menu! Value: These sandwiches aren't cheap, but you have to pay for quality. Expect to spend between $11.00 and $15.00 here for a good meal. Then add on whatever else for drinks or sides, but it's worth it. In conclusion, I love this place, I just wish they were closer AND that they were opened on weekends, but they keep the hours tight to allow their employees to have lives. I give them even more respect for that! Check this place out soon!
