Top 5 Best Doughnut Shops in Connecticut
So I missed National Donut Day in June, sue me! Donuts are like crack cocaine, addicting and dangerous.
Whenever there are donuts out in the radio station kitchen, I walk through carefully helping myself to a bite at a time. My problem is I repeat that same behavior 8 or 9 times.
Honestly, I never travel in search of donuts. I wait for the donuts to come to me, and when they do, I'm in trouble. You always know what kind of donut I've had by the crumbs, powdered sugar, or jelly resting on my shirt.
The following are the Top 5 Donut Shops in Connecticut according to Connecticut Magazine:
