Everything was amazing! The food and service was 5 stars plus a little extra. Even while being very undecided, Skyler gave me great recommendations to consider and politely told me she would be right back as she balanced multiple tasks. Her communication and knowledge of the menu was top tier and she should be recognized. Now for the food, The Willoughby was ridiculously good. I don't even know what else to say about it except I should have ordered 2 to go. I also got the Delilah which was bursting with flavor. My honey dip donut was fluffy and delightful. The only critique I could offer is I wish there was specialty coffee drinks as an option. However, I still would give this place 5 stars easily and would definitely return. read more

We were on vacation staying in Arlington, and decided to give Willoughby's a try. I'm so glad we did! The lady at the counter was very sweet to us, (two different ladies on two different visits actually). The first time we ordered two egg and cheese sandwiches. Mine was on a bagel, and literally it was the best bagel (also i have lived in NYC for years so I know a good bagel). It was so super soft on the inside and the outside was perfect. I highly recommend. We also had two maple donuts which were also so good and very filled with filling, It was so good we decided to go back the next day and eat breakfast there. Again I had the amazing bagel breakfast sandwich and we shared a ginormous cinnamon roll that was super tasty. It's small and cute and had great food. The pricing was great too. I love supporting local when I travel. I would definitely recommend! read more

A great donut shop in Manchester VT. So many delicious varieties to choose from. Must stop of you're passing through. We came by early afternoon and the nice lady at the counter asked my kids what was their favorite flavor. She proceeded to go to the back and make a batch of freshly filled strawberry donuts topped with strawberry cream that wasn't even on the menu. read more

These donuts are some of the best I've had--anywhere. They're huge (big enough to split), super fresh, and tasty. Cinnamon, chocolate, and raspberry were all amazing. Note: they're closed on Mondays. read more

I struggle with my rating but wanted to keep it honest. First let me start with the donuts. We had a red raspberry filled and a blueberry. Both delish. We also had egg sandwiches. Here's where the issues came. Friend #1 sandwich came not on the croissant she ordered. Friend #2 sandwich was missing the potato patty. And mine came on an English muffin rather than toast. We brought 2 of 3 issues to their attention and they did fix right away. The sandwiches once fixed were good however. I would give them a second chance if I was local. read more

I was visiting Manchester for the day and we drove past this store and I had to double back to try it. I love donuts and everything I've eaten in Manchester thus far was amazing, so I had no doubt this spot would be good. When you enter you're met with a display of a gorgeous array of donuts that are nice in size. I was surprised to find out they're all like $2 and some change (I'm coming from a city where donuts typically go for about $5+ and they're much smaller). The donuts were nice and soft and not overly sweet at all which were right up our alley. They also have other baked goods like cinnamon rolls (which were massive), muffins, and pies. We initially were only going to order half a dozen donuts but somehow we ended up ordering 12...no regrets though. The staff was so sweet and inviting, we didn't mind buying more. They also have sandwiches, and we ordered a couple of those, they were super tasty and very fresh. The only thing is that there were quite a few bees by the window inside the shop, making them quite close to the donuts and other baked goods. Even though they were chilling, bees still scare me so I kept my distance. All in all next time I'm in Manchester I would absolutely visit here again, and recommend anyone else to do the same! read more

5 stars for their friendliness and stellar service. The great donuts also help too. My family was dropping in after seeing their sign and each of us were choosing a donut. My youngest didn't want to pick one cuz she noticed there was no strawberry donut on display. The kind worker (who I think was one of the owners) asked if she could make a donut for her- what would it be? My kid immediately brightened and said strawberry please. She went in the back and made a giant donut filled with strawberry jam and topped with strawberry whipped cream. She really went above and beyond to make our day. My kid gobbled up the donut so I'm assuming it was delicious. If you are in the area please stop by. It's a cute old school donut shop. read more

The best donuts I've ever had! The maple cream (like a Boston Crème but with maple frosting) was an incredible donut - sweet, fluffy and delicious. I also had a bacon egg and cheese and coffee, and both were very tasty. This spot is really welcoming and friendly - HIGHLY recommend for a quick bite! read more

Great donuts and an amazing cinnamon roll the size of a hubcap. Very nice staff and easy to get there on the way to the mountains.

Thank you , Thank you for keeping, and elevating, the experience! We are a NY family who have considered these donuts a part of our tradition since 1997. This is a "must stop" before our drive home! read more

To reiterate, BEST donuts I've had. Came to Stratton and had to visit Willoughby's again. Brought a dozen back for my family as well. Will always visit when in Manchester. Got to sit at the counter and talk with the staff. They're extremely friendly. When we were there a guy came in who was a regular for 22 years. I can see why! Our favorite donuts so far are the honeydew, old-fashioned and cinnamon raised. I prefer the yeasty donuts that are not as sweet. My boyfriend prefers the cake-style donuts. Both are delicious and have a great texture. Think a little bit of crunch with a fluffy interior. It's everything you'd want in a donut. Willoughby's makes it hard to eat donuts from other places. Nothing compares. read more

Friendly service, delicious doughnuts and breakfast sandwiches. Tuna melt was good also.

Delicious donuts local and very friendly staff they were very flavorful and light texture. Definitely recommend this place!

Awesome and creative sandwiches! Great customer service within a very diner like setting.

I just stumbled into this adorable shop/breakfast counter style place bc I had to use the laundromat next door. Oh boy can I recommend it- homemade deciduous donuts of amazing variety smell amazing and I bought a dozen to bring back to my family at the hotel. They were warm and fresh and FANTASTIC! As I was choosing flavors I saw that it's also a cute breakfast place and a hidden gem. Will definitely be coming back next time we are in Manchester! Oh yes- very friendly ppl there as well! read more

If you're looking for cold burned breakfast sandwiches then this is the place for you, and as a bonus you get to wait 30 min for them.

Excellent food and service. Staff is very welcoming. Menu expansion is a wonderful addition to the delicious fresh doughnuts.

Come to see the Southern Vermont mural and stay for the donuts and good people. Honestly, if you're gonna stuff your face with fried dough and sugar make sure they are the best. These donuts are hand made daily in the kitchen, not in Cincinnati and then put on a truck. Old fashioned donuts don't get any better; but there is plenty of other food so everyone is happy. Thanks to the team for keeping this family run business thriving and keeping my family happy on a snowy Saturday. read more

Willoughby's Depot Eatery - My weekly Saturday order. - Bakeries Near Me - Manchester Ctr, Vermont

We visited around lunchtime on June 6, 2023. The donuts are out of this world so was our sandwich and soup. As far as customer service goes, I have to give it a failing grade. The young, tall, brunette woman working behind the counter was horribly rude and should not be in a position to interact with customers. First problem was that I forgot to order the soup with our sandwich and when I asked to order it, she had an attitude and rolled her eyes at me. I asked if there was a problem and she told me that they were very busy in the kitchen. So how does that apply to me forgetting to order the soup? Once we got our food, I requested a knife and that was a lot of effort. When we opened the bag to eat our donuts, I found that she had tossed the icing topped donut face down in the bag so all the icing was on the bottom of the bag. All the other young women working that day were friendly and pleasant. All I can say, enter at your own risk. read more

Best donuts in VT! Donuts are always fresh and staff is so nice and accommodating as they offer to customize donuts on the spot. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for something sweet. Can't go wrong with the honeydew, maple cream, raspberry filled and chocolate sprinkle--delicious! Plus they have venmo! read more

Best donuts I have EVER had! We live in Toronto and gourmet donuts are everywhere - and these are better than any of them. These are the exact same donuts that Mrs Murphy's had (the prior name). Same recipes and method. The only thing that has changed is the name of the shop and they have added more donut flavors! They also have other menu items including some delicious breakfast items! The honey dew donut, cinnamon sugar donut, maple frosted (with custard inside!) and the plain donuts were perfection!!! We can't wait to try more! Maybe the cookies and cream is next!? Nicest staff as well. We will make sure to come back every time we are in Manchester! read more
