    Key lime pie (green) Blackberry pear (the sugared one) Earl gray (with the crumbles)
    Michael P.

    Line out the door, donuts, coffee, sign me up. The line moves fast, and the servers are nice when you're trying tod decide which to go with - so don't let a crowd deter you. First time here and we went with the key lime donut, earl gray and blackberry pear. Earl gray was the weak link. It didn't have any early gray flavor, however the cream filling was quite nice, subtly sweet and overall the donut itself was great texture wise. Just flat out missed on flavor. The blackberry pear was good- a little more pear emphasis than blackberry, and if you're thinking "pear doesn't have a ton of flavor as is....?", you're catching on. This donut was also missing on flavor a hit- not as much as the earl gray though. It was good. Wasn't a fan of the sugar coating though, too gritty for me. Key lime pie donut is where it's at. I assume this won't stay for the fall so hop on it while you can. If I could have gotten 3 of these instead of the other 2, I would have. It packed zestiness, creamy custard filling, pie crumbles, the whole gambit. The patio was covered in crumbs- and now I know why. People were probably eating this winner of a donut. Be selective. But I don't know, they're donuts, have fun.

    First time at Deviant! I had been really looking forward to trying one of their gluten-free donuts, but unfortunately when I arrived, I was told they hadn't received any for the day. I was definitely bummed especially since I went out of my way to get there just for that. Still, I decided to grab a donut to bring home and wow, these donuts look amazing! I didn't try it myself, but I was told it was absolutely delicious nicely filled with a lime cream and topped with fresh fruit. Even though I couldn't get the gluten-free option this time, I'd still love to come back and try it when available. Just a heads up to others with dietary needs: maybe call ahead to check availability before making the trip. There are tables outdoors!

    I can never make it here in the morning, so I had a friend pick some up for us this time! And for that reason, I wish there was another one in the state!! This time we got the a coconut and caramel drizzled donut with a Boston cream and a white chocolate turtle on top

    Delicious donuts! Quick service considering the fast forming line, and lots of outdoor seating to enjoy your sweet treats. All of our donuts were delicious, my favorite was the "Samoan" but it he vanilla glaze and double chocolate were the equally delicious. A perfect sweet treat or breakfast before exploring mystic village!

    The line was out the door and the donut choices were limited by the time we got there around 3pm on Saturday of holiday weekend. Line went fast. Service was friendly and helpful. Got a seasonal special cookie iced latte and it was delicious! The pizza donut was so generous, we shared it. Fluffy tasty dough, with a caramel creme. It made me happy just to experience it. Loved it here. Absolutely will come back next time we are here. It's a walk in/walk out place with some tables on a porch. We were fortunate to get a table. Great donuts and coffee choices. Fair pricing. Loved it!

    I really liked this place! The cream they use in their donuts is phenomenal - super light and fluffy. The best thing I had here was their pistachio donut. The pistachio cream and icing was absolutely delicious! I also had their orange creamsicle cake donut which was filling, and their drip coffee was pretty good. My husband said his cortado was so-so and his lemon cookie was kind of dry, but at least I got some good items. It's a bit pricy for what it is, but look where it's located. Overall though, I think this is a good spot.

    de·vi·ant - departing from usual or accepted standards. And that's EXACTLY what these donuts do. Food We had the Petite Four, and it was really decadent. Rich but not overwhelming, with just the right amount of sweetness. It was kind of like a jelly donut. We also got the carrot cake donut. The cream cheese frosting was amazing, but the donut was not like a carrot cake at all. Not bad, just not a carrot cake. More a spice cake, in my opinion. I also grabbed two classic glazed donuts for the kids, and they loved them. The texture was soft, the glaze had that perfect light crackle, and everything tasted super fresh. We both tried different featured beverages and they were both good but the flavors were not strong enough. Ambiance The ambiance is adorable, natural chic, and fits the Mystic vibe perfectly. It's a small space, though, so don't expect to hang out inside. Service It was pretty packed when we went, but the staff was incredibly patient and friendly. Even with a line, they never made us feel rushed. And literally, as soon as we left, the line was out the door! It's located inside Olde Mistick Village, which makes it a great stop during a stroll. The menu rotates with creative, themed donuts, so there's always something new to try. Deviant Donuts absolutely lives up to its name. If you're in Mystic, don't skip it.

    We stopped in one morning while waiting for the Mystic Aquarium to open across the street. I had the Oreo Donut which was great, and a tall drip coffee. We enjoyed our breakfast on the deck, as there is no indoor seating. The staff was friendly and we loved the little grouping of storefronts.

    I came back to Deviant Donuts recently on a Saturday morning. There wasn't much of a line waiting to get inside. I liked how their menu was different from the last time I went there. I ordered the Mimosa (Jelly Filled) donut and M&M Cookie. Each were $3.95. The orange champagne jam inside the mimosa donut was very good and there was a good amount of filling. The cookie was soft and a good size. On the deck, there were about 6 tables and we sat at one of the tables. It was nice to enjoy our treats before walking around Olde Mistick Village more.

    Deviant Donuts is located in Olde Mistick Village near the aquarium. My donut reviews have evolved into two rating categories. Classic donut shops with familiar donuts like glazed, blueberry cake and Boston Creams with customer friendly pricing (the average cost per donut is typically less than $2 if you buy at least a 1/2 dozen) is Category 1. "Gourmet" Donut Shops with more elaborate donuts and higher prices per donut is Category 2. You can't fairly compare the two. If you had a donut from each category on a plate, you'd almost always choose the second category because it's probably bigger, flashier and tastes more like a dessert than the donuts you grew up with. But if you had to pay the higher price for that more elaborate donut, you might very well pick the cheaper classic donut. Especially if you're buying a dozen for guests. At a cost of about $3.65 to $3.95 per donut, Deviant Donuts is Category 2. Some of the donuts (Vanilla Glazed, Boston Cream, Double Chocolate, and Chocolate Sprinkled) are not especially elaborate, but they're bigger than traditional donuts and cost more. I'm a big fritter fan. So I went with the Blackberry Pear Fritter. It was good, but at $3.95, I'd prefer the elaborate donuts available from other Category 2 places, and cheaper donuts from Category 1 places. Also, I didn't detect much pear flavor and I prefer a fritter with some crispier parts. I know Deviant Donuts has many fans. I'm more of a Category 1 Donut Shop guy. If I want to spend around $4 or more, I'd rather get a cupcake. 4 Stars

    Great vanilla frosted donut and good coffee. Nice place to refuel for some shopping. Good job.

    Pricey but great quality and flavors! We grabbed a bunch of different donuts and tbh I forget most of them. BUT I remember enjoying the coffee cake and samoa ones the most. Guaranteed to be a flavor for everyone which means you'll most likely have to wait in a long line of said people xD I'd for sure swing by for a coffee and donut if I'm down this way again!

    I'm usually not a donut person but their pavlova *with fruir) was SO good! I'd definitely come back. My family got boston cream & sex on the beach, which were also good

    Nutella and fruity

After our drinks were dropped off, our server never checked back in to update us on the delay. However she did check in after we got our food.

What set this version apart for me was the addition of the pickled vegetables. They greatly complimented the tomatillos with their own sweetness and acidity that made for a well balanced bite. Others in our party felt similarly, that their meals were so flavorful and so well execucted that it made for a superb dining experience.
