If I had to choose one “desert island food” to exclusively eat for the rest of my life, there’s a pretty good chance I’d pick donuts. (Hopefully, in this hypothetical scenario, calories and health benefits don’t matter!) I love ’em, whether it’s your everyday basic glazed confection or the more imaginative and creative offerings you might come across on your social media feed. We’re lucky to have a number of great donut shops in Connecticut. Many have been around for years and even decades, but don’t fall into the habit of only visiting your old favorites. Some of the new kids on the block are just as tasty! One newer place for donuts in Wilton, CT is Rise Doughnut.

Rise opened up in March 2022, right in a historic building in Wilton.

The restored building has several tables inside, though many opt to grab a dozen treats to go.

No matter what flavor you get, you're in for an amazing treat that's practically melt-in-your-mouth tasty.

There are typically just a small handful of flavors available here, though there are seasonal specials that vary throughout the year.

You won't find anything too wild here, like candy or cereal toppings. The donuts here are more classic in style, but that doesn't make them any less delicious.
Allen Huang/Google Reviews
The doughnuts here are made from a sourdough starter, and are cooked fresh throughout the day, so they sometimes sell out before closing.
Just one bite and you'll be in love! Make sure you arrive early if you want to have the best selection.
