Gerry’s Donuts

Get here early if you don’t want to walk in and be stuck thinking about how good those donuts would have been, you won’t be disappointed.

Doughnuts: cheap, tasty, and small.
Get here early or you’ll see an empty wall.
The cake variety are just like candy,
And the raised variety were nothing but dandy.
Not sure if I believe in the business model of Gerry’s, but I like their product. In the past I have called twice around 10am and they have been sold out of doughnuts. Once they sell out, they don’t make any more. This past week I made it there around 9:20 and the selection was pretty scarce. In summary, go early.
The doughnuts were only 3 or 4 bucks for half a dozen. Super inexpensive. They are a bit smaller than Dunkin, but the price is right. I really enjoyed the cherry glazed cake doughnut. Melted in my mouth. Also had an apple filled raised doughnut which was great, among others.
Very old fashioned doughnut shop with a counter and booths. Gerry is Serry-​ous about his ‘nuts.

This donut shop is such disappointment… from customer service to quality of the donuts, i would never recommend this place. First of all, the lady at the register was very unfriendly and was clearly disrespectful. She would cut me off in the middle when i was ordering and when i had to go to the atm machine (they dont accept cards) she was rude about it making rude gestures and faces at me. I was picking up the donuts for my church group and the more upsetting thing is that there were bad, half sized donuts hidden at the bottom and the jelly donuts had practically no jelly in them… ill attach the picture of the jelly donuts. the shop seem to have a christian background but as a christian myself, the store shows disrespectful and rude customer service and poor quality food and i would hate to have a shop like this use a Christian name to represent themselves when they carry no characteristics of what a Christian should be. Very disappointed and don’t even bother spending your money at this shop.

This is a local independent donut business that’s been around for 35 years or more making wonderful donuts, muffins and more as well as serving a modest style lunch. I have found everything I have tried over the years to be well above the level of the major donut chains. I like supporting local businesses when I can and Gerry’s is more than deserving and the price point is well below the competition. Great community asset serving a very good product.

Hey, Elizabeth B– I gotta redeem my beloved Gerry’s here. The place was bare by the time you arrived because EVERYONE HAD ALREADY DEVOURED THE DELICIOUS DONUTS! It’s true, you gotta get there early: but that’s because they are delicious and made from scratch, not flown in from some random donut factory and reconstituted in the oven (I’m looking at you, Dunkin’!). The redeeming factor you cite– that the pastries you purchased were «indescribably amazing?» Well, that’s kind of the point.
Fairly priced, local business and amazing donuts. Nom, nom, nom.

Cheaper than Dunkin Donuts and way better by far. Gerry’s is to DD what a home-​grilled Angus burger is to a McD’s cheeseburger. There’s really no comparison. Once you have Gerry’s you’ll be ruined for any other donut. Only downside is they’re cash only but they’re so cheap you can usually find sp

On our donut roadtrip we stopped at Gerrys in Ellington. They looked cute from the outside, then we went inside. The place was bare, only scraps of breakfast items and some cookies. We waited several minutes to be served, no one was in the front of the store. Finally a woman came out from the back and she was rude beyond belief. There was another woman waiting behind us and we were basically yelled at for who ever was first. We asked about donuts figuring they were open til 4 they must be making some in the kitchen. Boy were we wrong. She pointed at a small cake stand that had a turnover, a muffin, and some cookies, «that’s what I have left.» I was pissed and ready to leave but my boyfriend saw two croissants in the counter display. Before he could buy them a woman and her son came in, the woman behind the counter said to them you should have come earlier it’s Saturday. Not for nothing but if you are open most of the day you should make more donuts! It’s not rocket science. I digress, we bought the two croissants and my boyfriend devoured them he said they were indescribably amazing. That was the only redeeming thing about this place.

Just happened to notice this place and despite the recent bad review, went in anyway this afternoon. When I walked in, smallish guy behind the counter looked at me as if I landed from Mars and parked my spaceship too close to his car and dented it.
I remarked that almost everything was gone (I knew I was taking a chance – no big deal), and he was like «yeah», «rather than come back in the morning» or «goodies go by 3!»
I settled on a couple of cookies and when I looked around, his patrons were eyeing me as well. Maybe they thought they could take me down, if needed?
I paid for my purchase and he puts the bag on the counter rather than handing it to me.
Bottom line: They may not want my business, but I don’t need to get the business when I go somewhere. No worries about me going back or recommending them. I’d likely go to Dunkin first, and I don’t donut there, so that’s telling you something. #SaveYourMoney #DontEatHere
