Stopped by for an early breakfast and weren't disappointed. The smell of fresh baked donuts, pastries and bread definitely wet your appetite. Service was fast and friendly, and prices were reasonable. Very good experience.
What a devoted local following! We visited while passing through town and the line was out the door. Their bacon egg and cheese sandwich is pillowy soft & steamy, and their donuts are similarly tender. Boston cream filling was silky and tasted homemade. They have shelves neatly stocked with floury blond sliced loaves and rolls, and their pastry case is full of beautiful cupcakes and a handful of other pastry that I imagine are also good quality. While the line moved a bit slowly, coffee was just okay, and the donut selection was small, they are clearly well-established and serving patrons what they want. Cute place too- a giant dough trough table, huge classic sign and original photos give it a nostalgic touch. The biblical phrases on signs and walls aren’t my cup of tea but it didn’t make my sandwich any less enjoyable!
Absolutely love the breakfast sandwiches!! The lemon cheesecake was amazing, but the honey glazed donuts just melts in your mouth!! 10/10!!
Located in Brooklyn area of Waterbury same road as BJ'S. Freshly made donuts R delicious. Need 2 go early 2 get Boston Cream opens at 7am. Worth a trip from anywhere
No fancy flavors because their doughnuts don't need them. Great, raised doughnuts, some glazed, some chocolate, some with sugar. And filled options too. If you want a great doughnut that's proud to be a doughnut this is your place.
We are traveling through this area and had a pumpkin muffin, an apple donut, a Bavarian donut and a custard and jelly filled donut that was THE best thing I've ever had ... and I've eaten tons of pastries in my lifetime . I'm also very impressed with the prices ... 4 pastries and 2 coffees under $14?! What?!
Hands down best donuts I’ve had, even better than Krispy Kreme (they’ve fallen off). Longggg lines but they move pretty quickly. Only thing I wish is that they had a better variety throughout the day. I went around 10:30 am and the variety was already low. Also wish they had better signage, prices and menu posting in the store or online. I really love this place though. Love the Christian Bible verses in the place.
This is a wonderful bakery with a giant history. Everything is so good and magically delicious from the simplest of perfect donuts and flamboyant cupcakes to the breads brownies, eclairs, turnovers, and pies.
