You can drive thru or go inside, either way you can grab homemade, delicious cupcakes, muffins, salads, sandwiches and coffee, tea or creative lattes, all serviced with genuine warmth and kindness by the staff. I go out of my way to support this locally-owned business because I appreciate the time and quality ingredients they put into every menu item. I often stop in to buy some tins of cinnamon rolls for my customers, a steal at $9.99 for 8 freshly baked rolls, and customers often say "that was the best cinnamon roll I have ever eaten"!!!

The coffee and sandwich tasted great, my only grievance is that, it was late morning (wouldn't say the morning rush) and the wait for the sandwich was very long. I got the regular coffee on tap (is that what it's considered? Haha) so got that fast, otherwise people watching, people waited a long while for other drinks. If I was in a rush I wouldn't appreciate it.

King Donuts' measure over 4" across and tip the scales at over 6 ounces. Think of them as a highly edible and very yummy paperweight or door stop. And speaking of stops, we stopped in around 3:15 yesterday afternoon, and even though they close at 4, the place was packed with regulars. It kind of reminded me of a town hall meeting in there! Yes, it is most definitely a local neighborhood favorite. We picked up a bag of their donut holes and some of those gargantuan donuts. The chocolate donut holes and cherry cake donuts are so delicious they really need to be classified as a controlled substance. King Donuts is a great example of a local donut success story, as opposed to another pin on the map for the national corporate donut juggernaut. All Hail the King.

We got an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, and a jalapeño bagel as is. They were so soft and so delicious. We also got a blueberry scone, a chip cookie, and an assorted box of Halloween cookies This scone itself was good, a little on the dry side, and the chocolate chip cookie was tasty. The Halloween cookies were just generic, and weren't anything special. I would definitely come back here to get the bagels and try them all if I could!. They also have about eight different cream cheese flavors to try.

I have to mention I like receipts of what I purchased and for some time they haven't had a printer available to do that since it broke sometime ago. Today everyone would like receipts to get back to use for fetch.

If I had to rank them: GC, PP, then SS... which says a lot as a caramel lover. Cool spot, I'd definitely come back. I wish they put one in Hartford near 84 instead of that Starbucks.

They are unrelated. Newington's King Donut is a small, old-school family-run business on Route 176 (Main St. in Newington. If you like traditional New England-style iced and cake donuts, this place should be right in the center of your comfort zone. If you like those expensive crafty arsty-fartsy donuts with Fruity Pebbles, crushed cannoli shells and the like, take your $6 a pop elsewhere. Here, you'll see cookies, muffins, bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and of course.....donuts on their menu. And pray tell, what kind of donuts? Glad you asked, because they have a nice variety of yummy treats including Glazed, Chocolate frosted, Vanilla frosted with sprinkles, Strawberry frosted, three Old fashioneds (plain, glazed, chocolate iced), Jelly filled, Boston cream, Powdered, Cinnamon sugar, Blueberry cake, Chocolate cake, Apple fritters, Cinnamon rolls, Crullers, Maple frosted, Butternut donuts, and filled donut sticks. We picked up an assortment of donuts yesterday, and man oh man did they look and smell great. We split a chocolate iced/custard filled stick last night that was decadently delicious!! PRO TIP It's located on the busy corner of Hartford Avenue and Main Street in a small plaza with plenty of parking. You'll find it across the street from the Eagle's Nest Gas station, which we've found to consistently have some of the lowest gas prices around.

I was heading to a nearby facility and wanted to bring my team a treat so I got 1/2 dozen donuts for $11.50 out the door. The donuts looked amazing. I opted to shove a Boston cream in my face first!

The Boston cream was very light and airy and had good flavor, it wasn't at all greasy, my only complaint is there was not a lot of filling. It took me 3 bites to get to the cream filling.

They're light and fluffy with just a little crisp on the outside, and absolutely 0 greasy taste/texture. Their blueberry glaze was especially outstanding, but there wasn't a single one in the six-pack that we didn't love. PLUS 2/3 of the flavors are always changing! And they have daily coffee flavors! The doughnut flavors are really unique too (think chocolate pretzel, maple bacon, etc.). Even better, everything they sell/use is sourced from CT. Slight points off for the atmosphere (it's very cute but could use some sound dampening), but let's be real - it's a place designed to pick up your doughnuts and go, not sit and linger, so I'm not dinging it down from the 5-star review it deserves. We're DEFINITELY coming back!

Good doughnuts, basic toppings, great owner…read more Came here because we knew the owner from a local pizza spot that always looked after us when we would stop by. He decided to branch out and make a tiny donut shop, so we wanted to swing by and give him a try. The shop is small, designed more for your pick up and go crowd. The signage is a little small, so you will need to know where to go to find it. The selection of donuts is akin to specialty cookie shops. They keep a standard selection of doughnuts on demand but also rotate out a few types to keep things fresh. You order your doughnuts with the cashier, and then get to watch your doughnuts get dipped and packed right in front of you. We got a dozen of these little doughnuts. Took our pics then dug in. As a doughnut, they are good. They are a cake doughnut with a little vanilla in the batter to give it a mellow buttery floral flavor note. Not majorly noticeable, but just enough to make it better than just straight up cake. The best bite was the strawberry shortcake. Fresh strawberries with a light whipped cream gives that flavor profile one would expect from a very solid strawberry shortcake. The rest were of varying states of okay for the toppings. The maple bacon was good, the local maple glaze was very maple forward and tasty. The bacon crumbles needed to be cooked more. They were a little too soft and chewy for that style of doughnut. The doughnuts with chocolate syrup needs a better chocolate syrup. Would probably replace with a chocolate drizzle instead. Would hold up better if not eaten immediately. Some of the glazes were not made in house, and were a bit too strong for some of the other toppings on them. They will need to figure out a way to tweak these glazes to not be overpowering. As a destination spot I would expect an elevated product, and this shop is not set up to be elevated just yet. It's set up to be a local morning doughnut place, which is valid but will need to fight to get people to see them. There's some promise to this business idea. They will need to commit to either a boutique tiny doughnut shop or a local pick up and on demand delivery spot. Either one could work, but they need to find their footing first. For those interested in trying this place, it's a good spot for a little sweet treat. Stick to the non-chocolate flavors, get enough to share, and enjoy!
