Went there for the first time to see what the hype was about. The donuts look so inviting. But it’s just overpriced donuts that taste awful. Even my kid was so excited to pick out which ever she wanted and for us to do a donut challenge-she stopped a few bites in and we literally just took a bite out of each donut and threw them away. Total waste. Disgusting. Don’t bother, want a better option? Whitney donut in Hamden is great. They just don’t have fancy looking donuts like this place but the taste and quality is there!

Fantastic and unique donuts. My favorite that we got was the caramel cheesecake donut. Upper right hand corner. It was so delicious and bursting with the best cheesecake cake filling Ive ever tasted. Highly recommend them if you are in the area. Right next to Toads place great spot for this place for sure.

Amazing donuts, great texture and super fluffy. The better version of your grandmas donuts, the ones you actually want to eat all of. Key lime pie donut was tangy with real key lime pie filling. Huge donuts add to the appeal, cause no one wants a lil slice of cake you want the whole god damn thing!

Decent coffeeAmazing donuts!All yeast basedNutella is ok, nothing great really. Its regular donut with tablespoon full of Nutella in the center.French toast is the best flavor of french toast donut youll have.Smores is the best I have ever had.

Nice place my daughter recommended. Good food and donuts! I suggest you order online for hot foods because those tend to take some time to prepare.

Oh my gosh these are the best tasting donuts that I have ever had till date!! Loved their signature collection!! We tried a bunch of donuts out of which black hawk, Nutella and cookies and cream were my favs!! I would definitely recommend this place, would love to go back and try something new next time!

In the past I would have given them 4 stars for their over the top donuts that actually tasted really good, but when we walked up to the counter to choose and there was a family of flies cruising around landing on all the donuts in the cases. NOT just 1 or 2, a family. Staff not even concerned about it at all. Im thinking...Soooo if this is the way we treat the product in public view what in the world is going on behind the doors to the kitchen and prep areas.Need I say more....

There is a long wait for sandwiches- 45 minutes or more we were told. The coffee is good. If you go, go for the donuts. Id have given it 5 stars if my sister had been with me.

Review №16

Donut Crazy, from my prior understanding, should be a nice place to grab a quick bite albeit at a relatively high price. However, after recently visiting to get a taste of their named-claim-go-fame, I was quite confused. No donuts on Mondays??? That doesnt make sense. Fazed, I went and asked for the arugula avocado toast - no arugula either. It seems in the time of decreased customers, they have cut on both the ingredients and how much the employees care about their job. I hope they can do better the next time I come!

Review №18

Great donuts. The maple bacon one was very good. The maple was smooth consistency and the smokey bacon added a great flavor. We also tried the monster donut which was a red velvet cake donut with cookie dough, chocolate ganache, a cookie and marshmallow on top. The doughnut was a little to dense and I thought it had to many toppings.The vibe and decor of the shop was very chill. It was a place you wanted to hangout at.

Review №26

Wow! Everything at this place is great. Amazing bagels that make for a great breakfast sandwich, with real eggs! Not those microwave patty things. Their donut selection literally is crazy. All types of fun flavors. I got a cannoli one, it was amazing. Im from out of town, from Atlanta, and i would compare these donuts to places like Sublime and Revolution, if youre familiar then you understand how good they are. The style and decor of the place was fantastic as well. Perfect balance of cozy and cool. I will make it a point to stop by here everytime im visiting the area.

Whenever i come here personally the line is insanely long and it’s a bit of a turn off to me, but good for them because they def deserve the business. i resort to ordering on uber eats for late night dinner. love the arugula tomato avocado toast and the maple bacon donut. cant wait to eat from here again :)

Review №43

That was an experience! Really fun atmosphere and decor, and Id love to try out their coffee options and savory sandwiches. Todays trip was all about the donuts, though!We tried an Easter special (with a lemon cream inside), The Hostess, and a Strawberry Shortcake crazy. I would order The Hostess again, but the others were almost too sweet. There are so many unique flavors here, so well be back to try more.Three stars for the taste of the base donut taste, five stars for originally and having so many unique options to choose from.

Had an amazing time! I love the atmosphere, it makes you feel like youre in an art museum, but with comfortable seating to make you feel right at home. The staff are pleasant and helpful with newcomers.They are truly artists, and take donuts to an elite level.The Bottom Cream donut was absolutely delicious, and big enough for 2 people to share.Even the bathroom was quite an experience as they have an awesome picture of Batman eating a donut, and the decor is unexpected and different.I will definitely keep going back!

Review №51

Donut crazy is just that crazy....Hella expensive and beyond overrated! The donuts can either be a hit or miss.I heard so many good things about this place, that I had to try it for myself and dabble into this donut experience. LOL Little did I know I would be disappointed; I went in and thought I was in a donut, bakery heaven due to the endless choices and didnt know where to start. I read the sign and somehow misread the misleading prices. I didnt really understand that there was a difference in prices depending on the donut you picked; the specialty donuts are way more expensive then the regular, basic ones.Either way I ended up with 10+ specialty donuts and a few regular ones on the 2 occasions I went. It cost me each time close to $40+ just for a dozen donuts 😒👎but, I still paid the hefty price and couldnt wait to bring them home and enjoy with family. - The donuts in-total were not good! Dont get me wrong, the regular donuts were delicious, but nothing more special than any other donut place!! The specialty donuts were topped with stale cereal, stale cookie pieces, stale candy bar pieces and gross fillings....Nothing on/in the 🍩 was fresh. I would have been better off buying a frosted donut from Dunkin and putting toppings on myself and save a sh*t load of money. Dont waste your hard earned money...Youll be very disappointed! The owner is rude as well!! SMH

Review №56

Ive never actually set foot in Donut Crazy, but have had two of their donuts that were purchased for me, so my review is based purely on the donuts themselves and not on the store or the customer service.The first one I had was a maple bacon donut. I am a fan of anything maple flavored and am disappointed that Dunkin donuts no longer serves their maple frosted donuts. So when we talked about this place and someone mentioned maple donuts, I was completely on board!My favorite thing about this donut is the toppings. My least favorite thing about this donut is the actual donut, which puts me in a tough situation. The donut itself was dry and tasted more like simple plain dough than a donut. There was no taste to the donut, and it made my mouth feel very dry.I happened to get a second donut on accident. The donut was purchased for someone who was not in school that day, so it was gifted to me instead. Absolute same as before, way too dry! This one was a cannoli donut, and I actually had to eat it in several sittings because the toppings were absolutely way too sweet for me!At a price of almost $4 a donut, Ill wait for someone to gift me another before I try another.

Lacking vegan options… this is shocking given that even Burger King has a full vegan selection nowadays. 🤔 hoping they can step up to match the competition of other bakeries in the area.

Short summary: be wary of overchargesThe first time I came here I ordered a glazed donut bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and was overcharged a dollar (some sandwiches cost a dollar extra to replace the bread with donuts). I brought up the issue with a manager and got refunded immediately.I returned a week later, ordered the same item, and was overcharged again by a different employee. When I raised the issue this time, though, the employee refused to take the $1 charge off, though the posted menu clearly states the correct price; I was in a rush, didn’t want to escalate over a dollar with people waiting behind me, and ended up just eating the cost. The food is great and I don’t want to raise a fuss over a dollar, but was frustrated by inconsistency / inflexibility in policy between employees.

I got the Snickerdoodle donut and the Cannoli donut. The snickerdoodle was not good - it was dry and the cereal sprinkled on top was very stale. The cannoli was great, the cream filling coupled really well with the donut itself. If it was just the cannoli donut it would have been 4 or 5 stars.

Wacky doughnuts that range in complexity. Locations are very clean and modern. I enjoy just looking at the shelves and seeing what kind of options they have. This was for a coworkers last day. I dont get too crazy with my sweets but i had to indulge. I had the Black & White (top right). It was absolutely perfect in every way. Its covered in chocolate and was rolled in some kinda crushed cookie bits. Went great with my coffee. Overall everyone was beyond satisfied with their doughnut. Ive been to multiple doughnut crazys and theyre all great! Coming soon the WEHA!

I pick up from Donut Crazy for DoorDash! Been craving a taste. Today I grabbed over Dozen donuts for my kids and class party @NETTTS needless to say everyone enjoyed the giant donuts. The variety of flavors. And the smile it brought on! Literally everyone looks so good you have to really think about which donut to grab! The office at my school and instructors loved the holiday spirit that some of the donuts brought on as well! Lovely employees at the york street and Branford locations! I catch yall on my next Dash!

I was early for a meeting and decided to try this place for a breakfast sandwich and a donut during the wait. The donut was good, but despite only 1 other customer, my sandwich wasn’t ready by the time I had to leave for my meeting. I don’t understand how it takes over half an hour to cook 2 eggs but they’ve figured it out.

Review №99

Donuts are good, but it gets pricey really fast. Be careful when ordering, if you do order half a dozen of the special donuts and half of the regular the total can come out to be $35 plus if you drink coffee or tea.Crazy Donuts: $3.25 eachDaily Simple Donuts: $1.95I thought the french toast and the Boston cream one were soooo good. I would definitely want them again, but not for those prices.The staff also wasnt very friendly. They just wanted you to order your donuts and get out. Just like in a previous post, I was charged an extra donut. I didnt realize until we were already on the road driving. So BEWARE. Before you pay or give them money, review your order/receipt for accuracy

Call before you waste your time going here. They like to advertise that they have donuts but when you get there the shelves are bare. Pre covid this place was great. Now they are a useless donut shop without donuts.
