Donuts in Eastern Connecticut

[tigerjohn]

Flying into Hartford to be picked up by friends at 12pm, heading to Providence to pick up another at 3:30 before heading to the Cape on a Saturday.

Does anyone know of a good donut place in eastern CT on the way to RI, or in RI around Providence? I am looking for something like Coffee 'An in Westport or Allie's in RI (we will arrive too late for Allie's).

In Hartford on New Park Avenue...(right off the highway, take Sisson Avenue off of 84). Try Tastease for something special. They make tiny old fashion-style donuts and top them and fill them with nummy stuff. Like one is topped with caramel, heath bar bits and chocolate.

they also make some cuban pork sandwiches too.

So you are looking for a fresh donut around 330pm? I would have to say that this is probably not possible. With the exception of perhaps a Krispy Kreme, I do not know of a place that makes fresh donuts that late into the day in general. Certainly not a mom and pop new england donut place like Allie's or Butler's.

In addition to a Krispy Kreme, perhaps the Dunkin Donut concept store in Pawtucket.

Neither of those really fit the bill when looking for a real donut

Well, it could be around Hartford at 1pm. Is there anything around Hartford that might work?

I don't think Allie's is really on the way from Hartford-Prov., but I'd take one of their donuts almost any time of the day over donuts most anywhere else.

have you had Butler's?

I don't know Butler's, where is it?

westport ma, about 25 min from PVD. Take 195 east to the Sanford Rd exit (8 or 9) Take a right off the exit ramp and it is about 3 miles down on your right.
