Gerry Donuts in Ellington

Such a great place. Picked up a special order and had a coffee and doughnuts while there. Nice...

They sell out of donuts very early. We live 35 minutes away. We stopped in a few times when we happened to be in the area with no success. The first time I got a croissant-like sweet pastry. It was delicious. The next two times there was nothing left in the case we wanted to try. Finally, we called ahead at 7 on a Sunday morning to place an order and made a special trip. The donuts were good, but not delicious. Maybe the popularity is due to the lack of options in the area.

Great donut shop! Diamond in the rough. Cash only. Go early as they make limited batch.

We drove up from Massachusetts and they only had 2 items available.. just old fashion and chocolate.. nothing crazy about those options... our daughter was upset we didn't get to try any of the options shown online

Great donuts at a great price. Cash only. I like that there's locals that just sit there and gossip while drinking coffee.

Gerry's Donuts is a step back in time to the 1950s. From the decor to the red metal bar stools bolted to the floor. The donuts are the best in town and super reasonable. You better have cash and get there early. It's a favorite place for the locals.

We love Gerry's! It is my wife's second favorite and my favorite out of all of the donut places we have visited. Their blueberry cake donut is amazing. The service is always friendly and you need to make sure you get there early enough in the morning to get the flavor you want. They often sell out by 10 AM. We moved to Ohio so we miss Gerry's a lot but next time we go through CT we will be stopping here!

70 cent donuts, still a decent selection at 8:30 on a Sunday morning. Homey, worth a stop

Gerry's is the best!!! There was concern when big corp D&D went in next door. I don't think it made and ounce of difference. Gerry's makes the best donuts around and people flock to this corner of Ellington. Dont2 arrive late if you expect to get a Boston Cream!!!

Great place.Never have donuts after 9am area

I'd give it 6 stars if I could. The donuts are excellent. A very warm, welcoming local atmosphere. My daughters love the place. Just get there early because they run out of donuts because it's so popular.

The chocolate coconut. Yummo!

Good donuts, great prices!

Gerry's Donuts is the best donut shop in the state. His donuts are delicious no matter what kind you get, and are half the price of donuts from other places. Get there early, because all the best ones (Bavarian Creme, Chocolate Honey Dip, and Apple Spice being some of my favorites) are usually gone by 8 a.m. If you get there late and only see 4 plain donuts in the case, there are also very good muffins and croissants available.

Incredible homemade donuts and pastries....hmmmmhmmmm, get there early before they are sold out or selection is slim, take out or sit in booth or the coffee shop counter

Amazing donuts, extremely low prices, cash only though. Make sure to come early too. Generally before 830 am- they sell out quick sometimes. Definitely worth waking up early for though.

The best donuts in the area at a great price

If you want a good donut you go to Gerry's the best Donuts Gerry is been there over 30 years and I believe it is a little bit more than that if you

A staple of Ellington! Delicious donuts and friendly service!

Unbeatable prices. Donuts are amazing and fresh. Great little place but get there early because they sell out fast.

Been going to Gerry’s for quite a few years. Usually a good experience. Not so much lately. Couple weeks ago, showed up on Saturday and it was closed. Website said open along with sign on the window. Just went today, showed up at 8:30. NO donuts. How does a donut shop, that is only open half a day, not have any donuts to sell on a Saturday morning.Looks like I am in need of a new donut shop.

No question about it. They are the BEST DONUTS around.

Less than 6 dollars for a dozen delicious donuts! Can't beat that! Lots of different flavors of donuts and pastries with a very friendly staff.

They make fresh donuts every day. The donut flavors are different from the normal fare and are delicious. I was introduced to this place a couple years ago. I always stop when I'm in the area.

Best donuts in the area

Big box joints like Dunkin Donuts can't hold a candle to the freshness of Gerrys. The staff is awesome and the local regulars add to the warm atmosphere.

By far the best donuts!

When I got here they had no donuts left. I was extremely disappointed.

The donuts and bagels are made fresh everyday! Phanomenal taste and great price! But get there early before everything goes for the day. You can't go wrong with Gerry's Donut! A must try!!!!!

Most amazing experience this morning!! Have never before been to this donut shop so I was unaware that they take cash only. The owner graciously gave me the dozen donuts for free when I presented to pay with my card. I wanted to surprise my coworkers with a treat for helping me adjust to a new job position over the past month. The donuts were a hit, so delicious, we ate them for breakfast and lunch!!! Will definitely be going back again, and sending them a generous gift for their acts of kindness this morning.

Best donuts in CT. You will never want DD again.

Wow, their Donuts 🍩 were of heavenly taste... no wonder they are branded as BEST.... They run out within few hour’s ..So one has to be there early hours to grab a few. Got a dozen Fresh variety just for under $6. Thanks Gerrys !

This is one of the best places to get donuts in CT! They're made fresh and with care, the staff is super friendly, and this place is so amazing they frequently sell out of their donuts. Get here early and you'll be good.

Best in CT, New England, and USA.

With good company

They say a picture is worth a thousand words... i bought 8 dozen donuts this morning for my coworkers and all thats left are these 2 donuts. These things are delicious! I only wish they opened a little earlier, its tough to get there when they open at 6 and i start work at 6... its worth being a little late once in a while 😉

Wonderfully delicious donuts. While the donuts are not very large, they are amazing. I tried half a dozen different types and all were fantastic. Definitely worth checking out.

Good coffee, great donuts. Friendly staff.

Amazing donuts for a great price 5.95 for a dozen can't be beat. They are smaller but much heavier so 2 will fill you up. Make sure you call ahead a day before to place an order. They will be sold out otherwise.

Came here to check out for the first time. We were not expecting there to be much left since it's a half day donut shop and we walked in a half hour before closing, but just wanted to check it out. We walked out without ever being greeted, no friendly hello, and no offering of assistance or service. No eye contact even. No one wants to feel like they shouldn't be there, but that's the vibe that we experienced. Maybe this isn't the norm? Or maybe they only cater to the locals? There were some folks there chatting with the employee who was there. Who knows? But this is what Gerry's was to us.

Gerry's donuts will take you back in time to the days when bakery's used simple fresh ingredients to make delicious food. They open at 7am, if you don't get there before 8:30 your selection will be limited. So an early arrival is suggested. You will know you are at the right place when you see the line queued outside in all types of weather. My personal favorites are the chocolate-coconut and the plain jelly.

Amazing pastries at great prices! Four great big cinnamon rolls for less than five dollars!

Very sweet people

Great donuts, but go early!

Great service and was a huge hit with the the youth group we were feeding; fyi, cash only.

Best donuts I have EVER had! Prices are unbelievably low! The staff consists of some of the best people around as well! 😊

Never liked 🍩 but this place changed my mind! Great staff and service!! The dounuts are the best around!

All is right with the world on Mondays with a prayer and a donut from Gerry's!

Best donuts around! Always fresh.

Your doughnuts and paste your absolutely wonderful
