Reply to comment by mynameisnotshamus in How early do I have to get to Neil’s donuts if I want a chance of anything good? by uglylittledogboy

Any better donuts in CT you’d recommend? I’d always heard Neil’s is the best

Again, it’s a doughnut. You’ll enjoy it in the moment but you won’t eat one and think back on it years later.
I haven’t tried but plan on it soon- Brooklyn Bakery in Waterbury- often called best in CT

Fairfield County: Rise in Wilton - warm out of the oven, unique flavors and really good. Stupidly expensive - I think around $4 per doughnut.

Coffee An in Westport (right off the Merritt and not snooty Westporty. It’s a small diner type place that also has doughnuts - Very good, more traditional. Cash only though.

Uncle Leo’s Norwalk and Georgetown (corner of Redding, Ridgefield, Wilton) - better than average, made fresh daily.

Speedy Doughnuts, Norwalk. Local doughnut shop - very good but not quite up to Neil’s.
