Management from my company surprised us with two boxes of donuts from Neil's (we are located at least half an hour away from one so this was a treat). The variety of donuts made it impossible to just choose one. It was so delicately crispy on the outside but ever so fluffy on the inside. I am in love. You can taste that it was so freshly fried and it was honestly the perfect treat to make our work day just the bit brighter! It would be dangerous for my health and wallet if there was a Neil's closer to us haha

These donuts are so good I now get angry when served inferior donuts. I'm looking at you, Dunkin'. The Boston cream is incredible, with custard spread liberally between two halves and covered with rich delicious chocolate. The glazed are ideal. The problem, for us, is that Neil's is often closed when we're passing through Wallingford.

I was lucky to catch Neil's open and still with donuts on the shelf! They were large , fresh and delicious. The quaint shop know for its fresh made, abundant sized donuts is sweet and welcoming. The people are friendly.

My all time favorite donut shop in the area!!! There are soooo many flavors to choose from and they are so delicious. I'm very picky about the donuts and not a huge fan of the donut after-taste. Their donuts don't have that kind of taste. My favorite was the Butterfinger donut!

Great donuts. $13 for a half dozen (2 each of the glazed, Samoa and Boston Cream) plus a HUGE cinnamon sugar coffee roll. I came here on Saturday morning at around 9 AM and the place was packed. But they have plenty of staff to fulfill your orders so the line moves very quickly. The Wallingford store is only a 5 minute drive from the Route 15 off ramp so I'll be stopping again here on my future trips up to Boston.

DEEElicious! I didn't physically go in to Neil's but was granted with a dizzying array of choices that were quite delicious. The donuts are cut & stuffed instead of filled. Quite different from what I'm used to but all of the flavors were on point. Highly recommended. But my favorite had to be the Cinnamon Roll. HUGE! It was buttery, soft, gooey & Cinnamony. Awesome gift from Jim C for me & my Dad to take home. Worth the trip! Visited on 6-24-2023

I stopped by the spot because I was looking for a variety of donuts. Variety, it's something they don't lack here! We got a half a dozen of donuts and in our box was 2 rainbow sprinkle donuts, 1 Reese-cup donut, 1 blueberry glaze donut, 1 somas donut and 1 chocolate glazed donut. Service was quick and the place was pretty busy. What I didn't like was the price... $10 for a half dozen of donuts, not cool! Overall, I would recommend you going, but I wouldn't say it's the best donut shop in CT.

Some of the best donuts in CT! Whenever I want to treat my coworkers, I bring in a box of a dozen Neil's Donuts to work and everybody always raves about how good they are. My personal favorite is the cinnamon/sugar donut- not too sweet, but still delicious. I'm not really a coffee drinker, but their flavored coffees are also really good. And they brew their flavored iced coffee, rather than adding syrup for flavoring, so you don't have the added sugar. Neil's also makes an awesome bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on a hard roll. If you go on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday morning, expect the line to be out the door. The parking lot can also get a little crazy sometimes with people going in and out. Overall, amazing donuts! It's no wonder people come from all over to go to Neil's

I strive to eat, good quality, fresh and healthy foods. However, lately my friends are not a good influence on my eating healthy. I have been hearing them rave about Neil's donuts for months now, and we finally succumbed to the temptation. The donuts were good, but not great. We shared the Samoa, the chocolate glazed, the double chocolate, and the apple filled donuts. We also had a carrot cake muffin, and a double chocolate muffin. I am a big fan of chocolate and neither the muffin nor the donuts had a rich chocolate flavor. One of my friends who had had these donuts before the pandemic said they also used to be bigger and were filled much more in the past. The shop is cute and the gals working there were efficient. They have a nice selection and variety of different types of pastries. I would give this place credit for their effort and probably give it another chance as it is hard to find family owned doughnut shops to support!

When I lived in Connecticut many years ago, Neil's Donuts was the best place in the entire state to come to and get some dang donuts, so when my friend picked me up and drove me here for a quick breakfast last month I was pretty ecstatic to bite into a Neil's Donut once again. This place is not big, but it's part of the charm and it was pretty packed when we came on a Friday morning (as expected). The selection here is everything from coffee, cookies, and bagels to muffins, donuts, and breakfast sandwich but all I was tying to shred were some donuts. I ordered a donut with Oreo cookie crumbs on it and a classic glaze to down after that. Both donuts were puffy and absolutely delicious. My favourite thing about a place like Neil's is that it's simple donuts, which is honestly the best kind. Overall, this small donut shop packs a fistful of charm, has a great staff, and is full of some of the best donuts you are going to get inside the nutmeg state.
