Darien Doughnut

People post one star about this place? Can’t be. Really good donuts and if they are expensive it’s because the donuts are huge! Sweet people. Try the homemade soup and sandwiches. Everything is fast and made to order. In any case, does it matter about these reviews when the business is across from the train station? Also, they carry Orangina. Yum!

They have AMAZING donuts! I will point out that I came here once and got a bagel and butter and a donut and was very pleased with the donut, but not as much with the donuts. The bagel and butter tasted pretty bad… I won’t lie. A lot of people I know also claim that you cannot get their bagels as they taste pretty bad.
On the contrary, the donuts that they make are far superior to any chain donut joint. They are freshly made and even if you go in mid-​day, you will still get a fresh donut unlike Dunkin Donuts, where the donuts at that hour taste awful. I have only tried their glazed and chocolate donuts, but both are superb.
Also, the location of this place is really great — it is right next to the train station, so whenever I want a bite to eat before the train comes, it’s a great choice. It’s also one of your only other choices if you don’t want pizza. Not quite sure why there are 4 Dollar Signs here, but the donut I got was only about $ 1.

I have been coming here for years and they have the BEST doughnuts! They don’t taste fake like the other doughnut places. I recommend the glazed or blueberry!

Despite what others say, I go here often before work for coffee and love it. I can’t be the only one who thinks this way because it’s busy every morning.

Worst service ever! Owner never greets customers or thanks them for coming unless you’re a regular. While standing on line waiting for my mediocre coffee and donut, I witnessed customers come in and out and the owner only to greet familiar faces. How tasteless coming from a business owner. He didn’t greet me or say I was welcome after I thanked him twice for handing me my coffee/​donut. I’ve been to this donut shop twice (there will be no 3^rd) and my experience have been the same. Poor service. I chucked up my first bad experience to maybe he, the owner, is having bad day. However, after today’s visit I am certain his actions are deliberate. The audacity of the owner not to value ALL his customers when there is much competition in the area. He is a little guy compared to the other donut coffee shops in town. One of them being Donut Delight on Hope street bordering Darien/​Stamford town-​line, offers great coffee, fresh donuts and exceptional customer service. I went to the Darien Doughnut Shop out of sheer convenience and will never go back. I am willing to drive the extra 10 miles to Donut Delight to get service I deserve. If you value great service, great food and a business that values you and your dollar spen, stay far away from Darien Doughnut shop. If I could give this business a zero star I would. Not sure how this place is still in business.

Unfortunately, the worst donuts and muffins I’ve ever had. Dry, heavy, tasteless.
Expensive too, especially for what you get. Not sure how this place stays in business, other than being located across from the train station.

Excellent egg sandwiches and doughnuts. The coffee unfortunately is terrible despite their slogan of «best coffee in town». That’s really more of a wish than reality. Unfortunately, in the Noroton Heights strip, it’s the only choice. If there was some competition, maybe DD would up its game with the coffee. We go for the doughnuts and sandwiches, but if they improved the coffee we’d probably go much more often.
