Went back once again giving them one last chance. Had the pop tart blueberry. Bottom line is that they are a ripoff!!!! Nothing like when the 1st opened in Danbury. The owner blamed the fire and said they would get back to the original size. The $5 donut is not oversized nor are they using the same doughnut ingredients any longer. Pretty sad that a business completely changes from what they stood for when they first opened. Nothing special anymore, just a way overpriced doughnut house!!!!!! read more

The donuts here are your best bet, they are amazing. Coffee drinks, however feels like a bit of a waste when the flavors are so mild to the point where it doesn't even taste like anything but coffee. Sort of disappointing when you dish out $7 for a latte that is supposed for taste like Cinnamon Toast Crunch but instead tastes like a plain latte. The service is friendly but they also make you feel rushed which could be frustrating for someone coming here for the first time. read more

Donuts here are delicious AND beautiful! Today we were so excited to pick up our pre-ordered July 4 fancy donuts.... And completely forgot we ordered to pick up YESTERDAY! What incredible people to offer, if i was willing to wait, to make some up or replace with ones already on display. I was so embarrassed i messed up the dates, almost couldn't figure out what to do - their kindness and smiles made a tough moment easy and will continue coming back because of them! THANK YOU GROUNDS!!!! read more

I've been searching for great donuts in CT since I moved to the area four years ago. I've tried Neil's, Donut Crazy, Brooklyn Baking Company, Coffee An' Donut, and Rise. Out of all these places, I've found Grounds Donut House is the best. The former donut places are either heavy, greasy, stale, or lack flavor. Grounds is everything I want in a donut--light, flavorful, and laminated perfectly. So far, I've tried the glazed, chocolate frosted with sprinkles, and the strawberry Pop-Tart donuts--all fantastic! I've also tried the Nitro Cold Brew--also excellent. I will also say the inside of their establishment is pristine, and the workers are extremely nice (this coming from a former Midwesterner). Overall, I highly recommend Grounds Donut House. read more

Donuts are unique, delicious and perfect for sharing! If you dine in the atmosphere is very "funky" and staff is helpful and welcoming!

Just visited this new spot in Danbury. They have donuts, tea, coffee, and they have a bar too. The place was spotless and had a cool vibe to it. I got the rainbow cookie iced latte which was delicious it tasted how a coffee is supposed to taste. I also had the strawberry green tea which was vey refreshing. The donuts i got were fruity pebbles, churro, coffee cake, and the maple bacon they were all beyond delicious. And they're huge. read more

I'm a doughnut fanatic. Love trying local doughnuts. Grounds definitely has beautifully decorated and quite large doughnuts! The taste, however, wasn't as good as others I've tried. All the doughnuts are raised dough with different toppings. Would have liked to see some cake doughnuts! read more

I try and support my small business' in my community whenever possible. This was my first time here. I liked the logo. I thought it was cool. I thought because it's called a donut house that my craving for some good donuts would be fulfilled coming here. I was mistaken. There's a very small selection of donuts. I bought two donuts for over, eight dollars and change. As I got in the car and I went to eat one I said this better be worth eight dollars. Tasteless, dry, overpriced, never again! I don't like to be taken advantage of. Just because you are a local business and just because you have a cool logo, doesn't mean that you get to take advantage of peoples hard earned money. Why do you call yourself a donut house, when you don't have a big selection of donuts and you probably don't even make them there? People I didn't think I was ever going to say this but you're better off getting supermarket donuts or Dunkin' Donuts. At least you'll be guaranteed to have a nice moist donut at a reasonable price. read more

Grounds Donut House - Banana nut donut. filling? Wrong. There is a hole in the center and there is no filling! - Donuts Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

Update to my previous review. We have tried it a few more times since our first visit and each time has been disappointing. Last time, a man working behind counter touched our doughnuts bare handed. Against my better judgement, ate them anyway. The glazed doughnut was hard/stale too. read more

These donuts are fantastic! We got a variety of them to try. All were great! We shared them with friends and the votes were unanimous: 100% delicious! The strawberry was my daughter's favorite. I must say the maple bacon is pretty good. The chunky monkey was also delicious. All of the donuts have a light, airy, quality taste to them. I have never had tasted donuts this good. Even more impressive was how clean and careful they are with COVID protocols. They are smart in how it is all arranged for pick up. read more

Love this place! My son is super into donuts right now and always asking for them, so this is a great place for a treat! The coffee is so good and there is always friendly service too! Really fun place! read more

All I have to say is I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Donuts are my favorite desserts and this place does NOT disappoint

Beautiful and stylish place. Great and creative selection of donuts, coffee drinks and beer! We got the Fruity Pebbles Donut which was absolutely delicious! read more

Grounds Donut House - Donuts Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

I went to Grounds with my best friend and I got a cold brew with oat milk and cinnamon toast syrup, she got the cinnamon toast latte. We got a few donuts to try: lavender, farmhouse jelly, fruity pebbles, churro and strawberry. Look, I'm a barista myself....and this is probably one of the best coffee shops I've ever been to. Their cold brew was so so good. Their espresso so crazy smooth....you just need to go there!!!! read more

Stopped in for a snack. Boston Cream and Chocolate Sprinkle donuts were tasty! Always go for the classics! The donuts are large. Coffee was decent. Prices were slightly above average. read more

Donuts are significantly smaller than when Grounds first opened up. Prices have remained the same as far as I'm aware. Wanted to love this place but $4 a donut that is slightly larger than a Dunkin donut is not for me. read more

I don't understand these high reviews, clearly most haven't had a good donut. Only visually appealing and don't taste great AT ALL!. I guess people go crazy because of all the colors and garbage toppings. If you want a real donut go to grammies in Westport, donuts are good, but cronuts are amazing. read more

Nice spot! Must try! Coffee and espresso are awesome! Donuts are creative! Nice atmosphere and they staff are nice and friendly, thank you another choice for coffee around here! read more

In search of unique donuts, found this place on yelp and went to their website which indicated they were open (Friday, aug 12). I drive all the way there, go in and there are no donuts!!! I was very disappointed. read more

They have the best donuts I have tried yet. They switch up there specials so there is always something new to try but overall great. Donuts are nice and soft, you can tell they are fresh daily. read more

These are very good, simple donuts. The dough is light and airy and doesn't have that fried taste that some donuts get. Highly recommend. The inside is a cool vibe too read more

Are the best donuts! Jus good things to said the coffe is perfect! I really like the every single Saturday they has ah new week flavor!

My husband and I went Grounds Donut House with a huge expectation with the promotional article on News Times. I have been eating donuts way before anyone in that shop was born. Since I used to be a donut fanatic, I visited donut shops for breakfast everywhere I visit. In my experience, donuts in West coast were not that good. Now, there are Dunkin Donuts in some part of California. When I read this shop is inspired from Oregon, I had doubt. But I had to try. I was impressed by the size of it and decoration. Else, it was a huge disappointment. First, the dough is not quite donut. It is between cake, bread and donut. Because of that, it is too filling. After eating a half of it, I am through. For good donuts, I can eat three or more at one seating. Another disappointment is Boston Cream, it is definitely not Boston Cream. It must be Oregon Cream. Maple Bacon and Spicy Maple Pecan could be a huge hi if the dough is acceptable. I do not go to Dunkin Donuts anymore because I did not like their service and am trying to limit sweets. However, no place make "Glazed" and "Boston Cream" as good as Dunkin. read more

Fantastic doughnuts, I live in NY, but whenever I get a chance I stop there. Had the best cannoli doughnut there last time. I wish they had one closer, but it does make it special not having one so close! read more

Everything was amazing. We got a half dozen of their HIGE donuts and shared among a bunch of us. I'm really not a maple bacon fan and their maple bacon donut was one of the best things I've eaten. Coffee was delicious too. read more

Yum! A friend recommended Grounds and she was completely right! Creative donuts that are so fresh. My husband and daughter were fighting over the maple bacon and churro donut! My son and I dug into cookies and cream and chocolate frosted. The donut is just the right amount of sweet. read more

Sadly unimpressed. 6 donuts and three latte's cost us $40! I was stunned, nearly $5 a donut!?!? I thought these better be amazing; they were not. My wife and I took my mom here thinking it would be a fun and yummy stop for a late morning latte and sweets. The menu on yelp looked delicious and the ratings indicated it was a can't miss. I have no idea why this place is rated so high. People's expectations have obviously lowered much further than I thought possible. First off, they were sold out of almost everything "donut"-wise. I immediately noticed something seemed off with their concept of a donut. Very large and thick, it is actually more like a sweet bread, that they cut to look like a donut. Tastes nothing like what a New Englander would call a donut. Then they just drizzle a flavor on top or slather some frosting on it and call it "Chocolate Cherry", or "Churro". They are not very good. Secondly, they tout there Latte's; trust me they are horrible. Taste like grounds floating in water, and the flavors were undetectable. Don't bother stopping by, grab a donut and coffee across the street at Stop n Shop! So much better and one eighth the price. read more

The donuts are delicious, pricer but very worth it! The staff is so friendly and are very attentive.
