Neil's New York Style Donut

I have a severe allergy to peanuts. Most donut shops I have found have either a peanut-covered or peanut butter donut, which means I cannot eat any donuts at their shop due to corss-contamination. I am so thankful that Neil's does not use these products in their donuts because this means peanut allergic people like myself can actually eat there!

This restaurant is incredibly popular on weekends, often with a socially-distanced line forming outside. However, the efficient staff and fast-moving queues ensure that you receive quick service, making the wait worthwhile. The donuts are fresh and come in a wide variety. My wife and I particularly enjoy the Samoa and Key Lime donuts. The coffee is fantastic as well. Plus, the prices are very reasonable. It’s not often you find a place that offers quality service, exceptional food, and great prices all at once.

The best donuts in the world! Just a heads-up, though—you’ll only need one, as they are incredibly filling.

Neil's has absolutely the best donuts in Connecticut. I don't care what anyone else says—this is the ultimate spot for donuts. I'm a bit disappointed that they don't have a drive-thru, but it appears Wallingford won't permit it. That would be really convenient, especially with small kids. However, since the pandemic, they’ve introduced a fantastic call-ahead option, which honestly works really well. Their lines are ALWAYS long, so it’s much easier to call in your order and have it brought to your car. Wishing you the best of luck with your new location in Middletown! Neil's is amazing!!!

The restaurant is not busy after noon. The staff is friendly, and there’s still a great selection of donuts. The filled donuts are cut in half and generously filled to maximize the filling. The glaze is delightful, with a crispy exterior and a soft, fresh interior.
