Faddy's Donuts

Faddy's Donuts

Reviews Summary

The consensus shows highly polarized opinions. Many customers rave about the donuts, especially the Boston cream, maple glaze, and sugar varieties, calling them the best they've ever had—light, fresh, and worth the price. Several mention the apple cider donuts and cheddar popcorn as standout items. However, a few criticize poor service, high prices, stale or cold donuts, and logistical issues (like no-shows for events). Some find the staff gruff, while others overlook service for the quality of the treats. Packaging (flimsy bags vs. boxes) is a minor recurring complaint. Despite a handful of 1- and 2-star reviews, the majority are enthusiastic 5-star ratings.

Customer Reviews

This has the absolute best Boston cream doughnut that we have ever had. We also got the Oreo and the apple cider neither were all that special but they were both tasty. The kettle corn is more Carmel corn and is tasty, but not the reason to come here, just icing on the donut shop.

Faddys donuts offers super delicious donuts. The staff is really friendly. My favorite is cinnamon sugar donut. My husband loved Boston creme. He said it was filled extra creme. I highly recommend going here for extra special treat. It picks up my day to a happier one.

Oh wow! These donuts are so delicious. The sugared donut is like eating a cloud. The apple cider donuts were just made and so warm they seemed like they were melting. Pricey but worth it for a good donut.

Donut was good but the service was terrible. The person rushed us so bad we only ended up getting one donut instead of the entire dozen we were intending to get.

These donuts are out of this world. I wish I had bought more!! So freaking good!

Enjoyed maple walnut and basic sugared doughnut at Connecticut Garlic and Harvest Fest. There?s something magical about a doughnut still warm from the fryer. The folks working the stand were remarkably pleasant.

Their menu doesn?t post the prices of the jelly and frosted donuts. $20 for 6 donuts is steep. The jelly was sloppy and made like a sandwich instead of the filling cleanly in the middle. Also found a hair the jelly. The frosted donut tasted stale. I?m no fan of Dunkins but I would rate these even worse.

Stopped by after our Cabela?s shipping and they did not disappoint. Super friendly staff and the donuts were phenomenal. Definitely get the apple cider donuts!

Kind of hard to find since we didn't know this was a good truck in front of Cabela's but the donuts were worth the extra driving!

Super good fesh hot donuts. Sugar and apple cider are really good though I think sugar may be slightly better.

Holy wow!!! I just had the best Boston cream donut of my life!!! I don't really eat donuts like that and most of the time I'll pass.... I saw the donut and all the cream piled high in that Boston cream, i just couldn't pass it up. My goodness tho... it wasn't just the cream, every bite melted in my mouth. Every bite was even more delicious then the last. I can't believe I'm writing a review for a donut, but I'm my opinion it was that good.... Best donut around hands down!!!

This place may have good donuts but NEVER HIRE THEM!! We hired them to make donuts for a wedding (instead of a cake) and they were A NO SHOW!!! We found out they were not coming AT THE RECEPTION!! What kind of business does that for a wedding...with a signed contract and deposit!?? You RUINED our reception you jerk! And then we found out they have done the same thing at the same venue, with the same lame excuse (overbooking??? REALLY???)for another wedding. NEVER HIRE THEM!!!

Not just the best REAL donuts. But the kindest customer service. All around amazing every single time. Even when closing. Thank you for the donut. Can't wait to come back to this area to get more ????????

They?re not as affordable as say a dunkin? but they?re SO GOOD. I got a couple of the boston cream and some of the granulated sugar jelly donuts. Not even kidding they are the best jelly donuts I?ve ever had. Worth every penny and you?re also supporting a local business instead of some corporation.

I don?t know who these upset one star reviews are but as someone who lives in NYC, near the famous Peter Pan and ate many a donut all over the city and US?the Faddy sugar donut is top tier INSANELY delicious. We had them for our first time last year at Brimfield and dreamt of them ever since. Had them again finally today and it was better than I remember. Worth the indulgence! Just realized they taste like Leonard?s Hawaiian Malasadas omg heaven ??

This place was a bit difficult to find as it?s a very small shack tucked under the corridor of a sporting goods store. When I got there there was a line and so I was excited to see what the hype was about. The gentleman serving me was gruff and indifferent- very unpleasant to say the least. But I?ve never allowed subpar customer service to deter me and I wasn?t about to start now. I got 6 sugared donuts (too doughy, not enough sugar and not fresh) a jelly donut (filling was too sweet and the dough was very

We look forward to our Faddys donuts after driving three hours to Brimfield. The donuts we got were old stale and dry. I would have been better off getting a Drunkin donut. Never again. After posting this the owner contacted me and offered free donuts next time. I never took him up on his offer but did get donuts last trip to Brimfield. They were amazing as I was used to. Mistakes happen it's nice to know some business owners listen to customers !

They need better storage to keep the donuts away from the flies?? they are too expensive one apple cider donuts cost $2.00 and there donuts are left in the open being exposed to flies I saw this with my two eyes flies were making contact to donuts?

This could be a 5 star if they go back to their old ways. Used to be the best donuts ever! They are still good when you put them in the microwave. For years Faddys has been One of my favorite reasons to go to Cabelas, but recently the donuts have not been freshly made and were hard as rocks/ice cold (it?s winter). They used to be so fresh and warm ANY time of the day.

I?m in love with their donuts and cheddar popcorn. The maple frosted donut is hands down THE best. Defiantly a decent price for the amount of deliciousness you get in return. Anyone who gives anything less than 5 stars is off their rocker. Cold or warm their donuts taste way better than any bakery or store donuts around. The only thing I will say is that I wish they had boxes or something sturdier, for when you?re buying multiple donuts, instead of just a paper bag because my boston creme was at the bottom

Can the service sometimes be a little gruff? Sure. Do they have the best donuts in the Hartford area? For my money, yeah. Does it matter if you get your donuts with a smile or a quick shift to the next customer? Not when the donuts are this good.

Great donuts and popcorn! All are made right there and fresh everyday. They only take cash so you may need to visit the ATM inside the Cabela's store. Make sure you get plenty of napkins.....you'll need them! Click the thumbs up icon up below if you like my review.

Was there this morning. Was the only one in line, asked how much a specific donut was and the operator rudely pointed at the sign and said the prices are posted. Made the mistake of actually purchasing the 3.00 single donut ( 4 of them ) and went on my way. Stale and dry are just two words id use to describe the entire expirience. Over rated towny trap. Dont like it? Be nicer and serve better food. Maybe i was wearing thick glasses for a reason IE disabled....

Soooo tasty!! This is the place to go if you are craving for donuts

OMG AWESOME!!! I had a craving 2 weeks ago for an apple cider donut and googled places near me, randomly some places near me were closed because it was Monday. Anyways I saw Faddy's and went to try them out. Hands down the best Apple Cider Donuts Ive ever had, even better then Lyman Orchards. We have actually been there 3 times in the last 2 weeks, we dont even go to Dunkin that much. I would highly suggest trying it for yourself, you wont be disappointed ????

Delicious donuts! We drive an hour to Cabela?s just so that we can get some sweets as a treat afterwards. Maple glaze is definitely the best! And can?t forget chocolate glaze too. Tried the cheddar popcorn for the first time today and OMG! It?s the PERFECT amount of cheddar. Other cheese popcorn never has enough, but Faddy?s does an excellent job. Ate half a bag on the car ride home. Only thing I would suggest is that I?d prefer my donuts in a box. All my six donuts are stuffed into a bag and all the glaze

Had donuts at the Brimfield fair today and it was by far the best donut I?ve ever had..and the best dessert in general in a very long time. It was so good that we returned for another. I?ll be dreaming about them.

If you're going to sell rock hard stale donuts don't change an arm and a leg for them!! $4 for a donut that's so hard the dog wouldn't touch it is ridiculous!!

Best Boston cream donut in CT! We travel almost and hour for one. A special treat.

By far best donuts we have ever had!! Thanks for bringing them to Brimfield!

Drove 30 minutes to this place because of the reviews...I got there at 10am (they opened at 9) only to be told that there was only one type of doughnut (sugar) available and that it would be an hour for additional flavors/options.... and on top of that the lady was rude! No thanks, don?t waste your time driving to his shack....the pictures are misleading.

The sugared donut is literally unbelievable! It was by far the most delicious donut I?ve had in my life. I?ve been thinking about it all day. That good.

Normally love these donuts but I went today and there were flies all over the donuts. Big flies, fruit flies smh. Just consider covering the donuts its an easy fix.

AMAZING DONUTS OMG solid size/amazing thickness. ice cream is pricey for how small but still SO GOOD

The owner of the doughnut shop is obnoxious and a loud mouth? his doughnuts have many flies landing on them? He parks his vehicle in front of the store like he?s in a circus?

Got my dog an apple cider donut today, she absolutely loved it...I like their donuts too!

I walked two miles for these donuts because I heard such good things about them. It was worth the walk! ??

Had a wheel bearing on our camper go out. Just traveling through and they went out of their way to help. Friendly people and great service.
