Whitney Donut And Sandwich Shop

Whitney Donut is one of those places that feels like a true local staple. We go here regularly and it’s the kind of spot where you feel like family when you walk in. The coffee rolls are incredible... huge, soft, and perfectly sweet. The lemon horns are another favorite and honestly everything we’ve tried has been great. The donuts are always fresh and my kids absolutely love them. Their coffee is really good, which makes it an easy morning stop. They also have great breakfast and lunch sandwiches, so it’s not just a donut shop if you’re looking for something more filling. The parking lot can be a little tight, but they have a drive-thru which is a huge plus, especially when you’ve got kids in the car or just need a quick coffee run. Good prices, great food, and consistently a great experience. Definitely a Hamden classic.

Locals absolutely swarm this place, and I am officially joining the fan club! Quick, incredibly friendly service. The food is absolutely phenomenal, but we need to talk about the donuts... they are a spiritual experience. My only regret is not wearing my sweatpants so I could eat six more.

First time in person here! I've thought their donuts which are delicious! I was extremely impressed by the attentive customer service. They get so much foot traffic and to keep their smile on their face is so impressive. Will certainly make this a new staple!

Always great food whenever I come here. Today I thought they closed at 3, but they actually close at 2 and even though it was just two minutes before closing, they went above and beyond by making two sandwiches for us. They even turned the toaster back on, which we truly appreciated. Such kindness and amazing service. I hope they have a wonderful holiday!

Very solid, old school, donut shop. You walk in and immediately flashback to your childhood visiting a donut shop. It's a simple store and the regulars are hanging out having breakfast. The fritters and coffee rolls are literally the size of your head. You could cut one in half and still think "this is still big". They were also very crunchy (in a good way). The price of everything is very cheap too. I thought the iced coffee was a little burnt, but it still got the job done. It's surprisingly busy even at early hours of the day, but the service is fast and the people are nice. Worth a try if you're in the area
