Coffee An' Donut Shop — Restaurant in Westport

I was in Westport for a dog appt and knew I wanted to get a bagel afterwards. A Google search didn't show any place in town, closest in Fairfield. I was headed that way and happened to catch their donut sign. Figured they MUST have bagels too. So pulled in. It's a small little comfy spot. There were customers sitting, some chatting, some working on laptop. The walls are heavily decorated with photos and momentos. It felt very homey and 'lived-in'. I loved it at once! There was one guy in front of me ordering, that's when I noticed the NO CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD ACCEPTED sign. But the customer let me know I could walk two stores over and there's an atm. So got some cash and headed back. I ordered a Sesame bagel with cream cheese, but I could immediately see this place is about their donuts! The display featured an array of decadence that almost made me salavitate! Lol! I couldn't resist when I saw the crispy looking old fashioned - a favorite of mine. So I threw one in my order as well, and a coffee. She have me a ten bill back and I asked for change so I could leave tip in the bowl. Then I was on my way. I knew that donut wouldn't make it back to Bridgeport with me, so I snapped a picture in the bag! It was so crispy and fresh. Exactly what I love about an old fashioned. So good! The bagel I ate later and it was a nice bagel, not the best, but the worst. But decent and fresh. Toasted nicely, appropriate amount of cream cheese. Delicious all around. There are tables and counter seating. Send a great place to dine alone, or do some quick business. The lady who took my order couldn't have been more personable or welcoming. She made my coffee just right too, and made sure I had napkins in my bag. The parking lot is small, but seems enough spots for the small shopping center. Easy on and off the main road. I think this is a spot I'll visit again next time I'm down here for my doc. Well...

Imagine the perfect, sleepy New England town. Now a place that is tucked away from the main road with its chain stores and busy traffic. You've arrived at the Coffe An' Donut. It's located in a small shopping plaza away from the business of Post Rd in Westport, CT. This small diner is family run and is famous for their amazing donut selection. They serve up breakfast and lunch (with a gyro special) until about 3 pm. Their donuts are so good that they sell out on weekend mornings and around mid day on the weekdays.

You'll get a bit of nostalgia sitting down at a table or by the counter at this diner. The menu is written on a whiteboard and you get to watch the interaction between the kitchen and waitstaff unfold. Locals pop in and out to pick up to-go orders or take away donuts.

My personal favorite is the coconut donut which is unlike anything you'll find. Forget about chain donuts, this is the only one for me. Othewise, they have the usually diner fare. For me, this place is all about the experience....

Coffee An is an iconic, hole-in-the-wall, classic local donut shop that is frozen in time. It's family owned and operated and the hub of the community where everyone truly 'knows your name.'

In my opinion, their donuts are truly the best in the world. Words cannot describe how delicious they are, you must experience it for yourself. Order a simple, perfect plain glazed donut (it melts in your mouth) and a chocolate glazed donut.

Despite the crowd, the hustle & bustle is cheerful and the counter space clears quickly. Be prepared for an experience (and don't bring your Starbucks...
