Cider donut, Clyde's Cider Mill

On the search for the best donut in Connecticut, and the best cider donut, brings us to Clyde’s Cider Mill in Mystic.

This place is amazing, with an authentic old-timey cider press that is in constant operation. They use the cider to make these cider donuts. Watching them press the cider is a fun thing and kids get a kick out of ell as adults.

As for the donut, the flavor is almost a sparkling apple cider flavor, like the donut itself is sparkling. The cake itself, unfortunately, is a little dry (it could use a misting). But the coating on the donut is heavy on the cinnamon, which plays nicely with the spices inside the donut. You can almost taste the clove and cinnamon inside the donut.
