Dixie Donuts

New England is the birthplace of the donut and it takes a certain artistry to create these evil delights. I have been visiting this part of CT as I grew up here and have been keen on keeping a kind of a list, a «must eat» list whenever I’m here. The Dixie Donut is one of these places. They have like 7 kinds of jelly donuts! There’s one called something like «Mary’s Special»…imagine a Boston Cream, filled with the chocolate on top but instead of the cream inside, they fill it with blackberry jelly. They close at noon each day and often run out of their best stuff early, so come early. This place is also cash only, but they do have an atm. Also, bring your own coffee… the coffee here is terrible! It’s as bad their donuts are good! There are Dunkin Donuts gas stations nearby with better coffee. Although my «best of» list is constantly being updated, Dixie Donuts have held fast this title for multiple years. And my latest favorite discovery… their Girl Scouts cookie inspired «Samoa» with chocolate frosting, coconut and caramel on a soft raised donut. Hold on to your shoes because this one will blow your sox off!

Everything’s fresh and delicious! It’s really hard to pass this place everyday and not stop for an apple fritter and crazy bagel!!! The staff is quick and super nice!

A friend brought me an amazing doughnut from a lil place in Yantic CT. I was amazing! Choco glazed but the pumpkin was fabulous also. U can tell they are fresh. Had a nice lil crisp on the dough outside with rich chocolate glaze in top. Yum yum.

This place is amazing. I have been coming here with my mom since I was a little girl. It’s only open in the mornings, so since it’s a bit out of my way, I can only stop in to get donuts here on special occasions.
When I stopped here with my mom and brother and I was not disappointed. They didn’t have any lemon filled donuts (my favorite) out, but when I asked for them the woman serving us promptly went into the back and filled lemon donuts for me. I love how she went above and beyond to make sure I had my favorite donut.
So are the donuts as great as the service? For sure! They are soft and filled to the brim with filling. The flavor is incredible — not too fried tasting like some donuts and they just taste fresh. I honestly don’t even bother eating donuts anymore unless I get them from here they’re that great.
I don’t drink coffee but my mom usually gets it and loves it and there is a cooler with various drinks such as milk if you need something to wash your donuts down.
I can’t wait to stop back in again.

Fresh baked donuts, absolutely delicious, also great iced coffees and friendly staff!

Wow, I wasn’t expecting the quality, softness, and gooeyness explosion all in my mouth just now. When you go to DD, the donuts maybe last a half day before they get hard and look like a hockey puck? I just ate a day old powdered blueblerry filled from Dixie, planned on eating half and somehow I ate the whole thing. This place is legit, def check it out!

An institution! A throw back to the days of old before cell phones, texts and tweets. Walk in and go back in time and have a donut and coffee the old fashioned way.

My boys and I stopped here for breakfast while camping at Odetah. The egg sandwiches were delicious. The chocolate cake donuts were a huge hit! The service was fast and the staff couldn’t be nicer. There are a couple little tables outside so we could bring the dog along. Love this spot!

Amazing donuts and breakfast sandwiches, great pastries good coffee and excellent service. A great breakfast place for an early riser.

Always a fresh cup of coffee and donuts await you when you stop bye, at anytime of the day. The counter help is courteous and king and always has a smile to share.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, jelly sticks!

The absolute best donuts anywhere. So good. The cake ones are almost crispy on the outside, the raised ones are so light and fluffy. They are just perfect every time. Don’t forget the free donut holes either! Please just don’t be greedy!
Note– This place opens at 5:30. If you get here clos to opening the donuts are still warm! Also this is a pretty busy place. They only make what they make in the morning, so things sell out pretty quick ’round here. Earlier the better! Oh and they are closed on Sundays!
Oh and finally– wooo! first!
