GEM GEM GEM!!! Donuts are so-so but the BECs on croissants are top tier. my favorite quick breakfast spot in Fairfield!

The coffee was very good, I got the special banana hazelnut with cream and suger and it was great. I tried my friends with just vanilla and it was also great. The customer service could've been better but that's okay. The bacon egg and cheese was not great, the egg didn't seem very fresh but was fairly priced. Overall good experience. read more

Doughnut Inn - The image shows two iced coffee drinks in clear plastic cups with lids and straws, filled with ice and coffee. The cups are positioned on a black tray, with one drink slightly above the other. Napkins are visible to the side, and part of a person's arm and white shirt are seen in the background. The setting appears to be at a cafe or take-out establishment. - Donuts Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

I visit this place monthly and appreciate the fair pricing and consistently fresh food, though the menu is simple and coffee could be better. I prefer going inside, especially during busy mornings, and have had mostly positive interactions with the staff. Note that this is a take-out only establishment with no seating. read more

I go here about once a month. The donuts and breakfast sandwiches are fairly priced. The food is fresh but basic. The coffee is just ok. I normally go in as their is usually a long line in the druve thru early mornings. The staff is not consistently friendly. Sonetimes they say good morning and take the order, other times they barely talk. This is take out only, there are no tables inside or outside to eat your food. read more

I am no donut expert and really do not eat them, but my friend loves donuts so we had to stop here. He liked them so much we had to stop by again for more! The place itself is not very impressive and did not seem any different than the donut chain which sits right across the street, but my friend swears the donuts are fresh and delicious and there's no skimping on the filling. Neither of us drink coffee so I cannot speak to that, but whenever I drive by the place is busy. There are a few parking spaces and a drive through--both always busy so I take that as a good sign. read more

The "new" drive through employee is nice, but SO SLOW. She's been there now for a long time and it hasn't gotten any faster, it's really bad...Do yourself a favor and walk in or go somewhere else. Sorry, this has to be known!! read more

Went back yesterday after 11 months to see if there was any change .. it was iced cold brown vanilla milk water :(

Doughnut Inn had amazing prices, $7 for both a medium iced coffee (with vanilla) and sausage egg and cheese on a bagel. The coffee was a bit watery, and barely filled with ice, but was fairly priced for the price. The sausage egg and cheese was also decent, but nothing impressive. However, the items were respectable based on the price. read more

Doughnut Inn - Vanilla Iced Coffee - A person with neatly manicured nails is holding a large iced coffee in a clear plastic cup with a black straw. The cup contains a light brown iced coffee with ice cubes visible. The scene is set inside a vehicle, with part of the dashboard and a touchscreen display visible. Outside the vehicle, a partly cloudy sky and some trees can be seen through the windshield. - Donuts Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

Have to disagree with other recent reviewers...I like this place. As with everything, it's a question of personal preference. I think their doughnuts are the best in the area. Chocolate glazed, crummy, etc....the doughnuts seem to be the most consistently good ones around. Bagels are on par with other places. Sandwiches may not be the best around but are more than adequate. If you are not in the mood for darker roast stuff like starbucks, their coffee is great (iced or hot). And I have always found the service to be friendly and attentive. read more

Best place in town to grab an iced coffee and a few donuts and the crowds prove it.

Have come here many times to pick up donuts and coffee for work meetings but not sure I will be coming back. This mostly has to do with the unfriendly staff, they seem inconvenienced when they have to prepare an order. The donuts are decent. I'd stay away from the breakfast sandwiches- pretty sad. The rolls don't taste very fresh, the egg is one of those prepared patty type "eggs" and the bacon is stingy and cheap. Tastes like a gas station sandwich. And last time mine was cold, cheese not even melted. read more

Make this part of your morning routine! The rotating specials for coffee flavors are great! Some of these specials and seasonal flavors are banana hazelnut, snowball, caramel nut biscotti, pistachio, and peanut butter chocolate. The differentiating factor is that the flavor doesn't come from added syrup. It's actually roasted into the coffee! If you come for the pastries then you need to get the cinnamon swirl. It is light and flakey and will inevitably cover your entire car if you try to eat it on the way home. Everyone inside is super friendly and they use Square so you can easily use tap to pay (they still take cash). Not many people think to get iced tea at a coffee and donut shop, but the unsweetened ice tea is a great option too. This isn't your Starbucks pricing either! read more

Doughnut Inn - Doughnuts and pastries. - Donuts Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

I saw the line of cars stretching around the building so I thought "Must be something about it" especially since there's a Dunkin Donuts right across the street with zero traffic. Kept driving but then had to turn around. I needed to find out what makes people who are still in their pajamas, jump in their Mercedes, Subarus, or Ram trucks (you can make your vehicle anything you want, this is your turn to fantasize) and come here? The drive through menu was very sparse. No details. Just "donut" "breakfast sandwich" "coffee" "turnovers" "etc". So I went for two plain cake donuts. That should tell me everything I need to know. It did. One of the best plain donuts I've ever eaten! This was deep into mid morning and it still had everything it came with out of the fryer except heat. No sweat, I put it into the microwave for ten seconds. Voila! Donut Heaven. I'll be back. Not only for the donuts but the outstanding customer service the young ladies provided. Cheerfulness makes everything taste better. read more

Tasty, well-priced coffee; however, the worker was incredibly rude. They made fun of our order and couldn't even look at us. If the service was better would think about going again. read more

the donuts are 100x better than any donut place (especially dunkin) and the service is great. but i cannot get over those donuts! they're definitely freshly made. read more

I've been here a few times for ice coffee but today I came in for the doughnuts. I ordered a jelly stick and a pumpkin donut. Both were denser than a yeasted donut and tasted a little crusty. The jelly stick was dry and didn't have enough jelly, however, the pumpkin donut was tasty and festive. In my opinion, the donuts were generic and boring. read more

See all

20 minutes in the drive-thru at a doughnut and coffee shop? They should look at their neighbors McDonalds to see how speed of service is done. read more

Fast service in the drive through. A little confusion over the menu because it seems you find another place when you try to find a website BUT ! The sausage egg cheese croissant was delicious. So hot and melty! Easy to eat in the car. My crumble donut was delicious too. I'd happily return! read more

Ice coffee is perfect , doughnuts are great ! I'll Kept going every Saturday :.) super friendly and very convenient read more

Had the Sinfully Nutty ice coffee 1/2 sugars and oat milk. So f*cking delicious. Basically a desert. Will be back.

I now understand why-my friends never get food from doughnut inn. The bacon egg and cheese is not even toasted. The bacon is clumped together on one side of the sandwich. and the egg looks like it is from a child's kitchen toy set. "Eek! Methinks Not." is an understatement, the sand-which is so poorly put together that I will never eat at doughnut inn again nor will I order coffee. read more

Rude employee this morning , there's maybe one out of 7 days that someone speaks with human respect, and got my coffee completely wrong. I work in the service industry and if i ever spoke to a customer that way I'd be fired. read more

I would like to start with this isn't the first time I have been faced with POOR at best costumer service at this place. Every time I go, I am met by a less than enthusiastic employee. This wasn't a problem for me until this morning when the woman in the drive through window rolled her eyes at me then refused to say anything but "card" even when I told her thank you and to have a nice day. Doughnut inn has pretty good coffee but it isn't worth the TERRIBLE costumer service. I will not be returning. If you want to ruin your day or feel bad about yourself, go to doughnut inn! read more

They had the best donuts and muffins in town but the recipe changed. The donuts are awful now and have an artificial aftertaste. The muffins are also terrible. read more

Donuts changed, no longer soft and home made tasting. Disappointing as they used to have some of the best donuts.

I love this place. Their bacon egg and cheese on a croissant is unbeatable. Everything is a good price for quality breakfast. definitely recommend! read more

Can't believe I'm reviewing this place but the staff and manager are beyond rude. I'm there almost every day but not any more. Spoke to manager Mary Lynn and she was worse than the employee. Chris the owner should be embarrassed. read more

Their donuts are nothing special. Very poor selection. Go to Dunkin' Donuts across the street for better donuts and better selection. read more

Great donuts, friendly staff and their bagels are also good. Has a drive thru too, which can be convenient.

the doughtnuts here are OK in the morning. toward the end of the day, they aren't quite as good. I am pretty sure this was here before the Dunkin Donuts across the rotary .. two donut shops so close together is silly. cake donut was good, glazed was ok.. coffee was ok. its good to have an option to dunkin donuts sometimes. later in the day it seems to be a hang out for kids that are friends with the employees here and aren't welcome at dunkin donuts. if you want a doughnut here you usually have to interrupt the loitering. read more

New coffee caramel toffee . Best coffee in town . Actually brew their flavored coffee no added syrup! Lovvveeee it Warm the croissants before serving much better ! read more

The one on Post Road is disgraceful. The Black Rock Turnpike is better with competent workers but has no drive through. The Post Road Doughnut Inn is run by young teen/college girls who can't seem to wash their hands or know how to wear a mask properly in a two year pandemic. They consistently mess up your order and it defeats the purpose of a drive through when you're in a rush. They KNOW they messed your order up because when you walk in they tell you they are working on it but none of the multiple workers ever bother to run out to stop you in your car to tell you to come back. Their smirks and disrespect are the ultimate disgrace for this business. There needs to be an adult manager present. Hair nets should be mandated unless you are the type who enjoys their strand of hair in your sandwich. They would be out of business if DD across the street was a drive through. After multiple chances we gave them, we rather skip eating than stop here for breakfast on the run. read more

Doughnut Inn is a staple here in Fairfield and has been one of my favorite go to spots in the AM since 2002. There are several reasons that I prefer Doughnut Inn, but one of the major reasons is the service. My coffee is prepared correctly and my food is as ordered. The girls that work there are total sweethearts and it makes the whole morning drive thru coffee experience great. As far as what's REALLY good here: The Glorious Morning Muffin (addicting), the Pumpernickel Bagel w/Cream Cheese, Old Fashioned Doughnut and Vanilla Frosted w/Sprinkles. The Cinfully Nutty Iced Coffee is top notch and most of their coffee flavors are really delish. As far as the Cranberry muffin's go, I know absolutely nothing about them; but the lady in the below reviews is VERY pissed that she doesn't get enough cranberries in them. Apparently it's a life or death matter that requires several updates about the lack of cranberries. Lacking cranberries or not, Doughnut Inn is a consistent coffee experience and great stop for breakfast! read more

I love supporting small, local businesses, this I one is good and opens early. But I won't be going back because, more than once, my food was touched by the cashier, without gloves. As a former bank teller, i know first hand how filthy money is. I have never seen anyone use gloves, while working there, with food in this Doughnut Inn. read more

I live in Fairfield and used to go to the Doughnut Inn on Black Rock Turnpike, and at that location, I never had an issue with the employees, the food/drinks, or the customer service. I go to the drive-thru on Post Road now, and the girls who work there have obviously never been trained to provide proper customer service. I have gotten maybe one "have a good one" and "you're welcome" and the rest of the conversation is: "drive up" "4$" "you said iced? You need to tell me that". At first I thought I was being off-putting or rude, so the next time I went I was extra nice with my manners and saying please, thank you, have a good one, and how are you. The girls who work there did not provide me with the same respect or politeness I gave them, and I am the customer. My friend has also had issues with one of their employees on Post Road regarding them being super short with customers and rude. I love their coffee, but I've started going less because of the shitty service of the girls who work there. read more

LOVE Doughnut Inn. Coffee, bagels, and muffins are amazing! Haven't tried the actual doughnuts to be honest. The drive-thru is always quick and service is friendly. I'm a regular and the only problem I have is that they run out of their selection quickly. The Cinnfullynutty coffee is addicting. read more

In a weak and feverish state, with my blood sugar plummeting, I *foolishly* stopped in on my way to an event last week. Seeing the inviting sign I thought Doughnut Inn would be the perfect solution to my hunger pains and clammy forehead. Boy was I WRONG. I walk in and the shelves are empty, not a single donut in sight. THEN the snarky cashier girl doesn't even say sorry or offer any sense of customer service or hospitality but rather she says "no donuts...but you can have coffee". I got the hell out of dodge (The Doughnut Inn) immediately and hit up Wendy's instead where I was appreciated and served well. Don't waste your time at this offensive dump. read more

The coffee here is very good. I had the sinfully nutty and it was delicious. Their bagels are good but the breakfast sandwiches are only ok. I found the sausage and egg weren't very fresh. I would go back for a coffee and bagel with cream cheese! read more

What Elizabeth said, this is one of the original doughnut inns and everything rules, the Monroe location is a DUMP but every other location is great. I grew up on their chocolate glazed doughnuts and still swear by them. read more

I am a regular at the Doughnut Inn. The workers are friendly and efficient. The coffee is not burnt like the Dunkin Donuts accross the street. When the Doughut Inn is closed on holidays, you will find the Doughnut Inn regulars accross the street at Dunkin complaining that D.I. is closed. read more
