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

Good luck! The worst that happens is maybe you’ll need to go again.

They’re good, but nothing amazing. They’re just doughnuts. Enjoy the adventure though.

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.
