09/16/26 Delicious…read moredonuts. We tried three different kinds - blueberry glazed, dark chocolate toasted coconut, and cider holy cannoli. To our surprise, the blueberry glazed was our least favorite. It didn't taste bad, but really didn't pack any blueberry flavor and left us slightly disappointed. The dark chocolate coconut donut was good, but the coconut didn't bring any flavor to the donut and it tasted like just a chocolate cake donut. On to the best part of our visit. Our favorite was the cider holy cannoli. The cannoli cream was piped into the middle of the donut moments before we ordered it. The cream was still cold and the best cannoli cream I've ever had. We did like the donuts, but the other two donuts just didn't make me want to get them again. However, the cider holy cannoli is a donut not to be missed! The staff was friendly and there were a few places inside to sit. We opted to sit at the counter top and enjoy the view out the front window while we enjoyed our donuts. One thing to note, there is no customer restroom at this location.

Pro tip from one of the staff: order online for discounts (off 6 or 12) and secure your favorites (and skip the line by entering in the back for pickup). They've got seasonal donuts as well as classics; our favorites were the whoopie pie, blueberry glaze, apple cinnamon, and chocolate toasted coconut. The donuts aren't too sweet and a bit denser than other donuts due to the potato starch. Otherwise, I'd recommend if you're in Maine!

It's a nice little shop in a good location and you're always greeted with a smile when walking in. This time I got the bacon and cheese on a bulky roll and then three selections of donuts. The breakfast sandwich was very good. Everything was good perfectly and they put a good amount of bacon on the sandwich. Also asked for hot sauce to be added which I highly recommend. They have a wide variety of donuts always available and they are always so delicious. When you walk in you'll see how hard it is to choose from all their flavors. Their coffee is pretty decent as well. I just love how fast they are here and I've never been disappointed with the food. Highly recommend trying this place out. I Would say this is my favorite donut shop in Portland.

We got some delicious lattes and my daughter hit them up for a hot chocolate. They only have four metal bar height chairs to sit on, but we did and boy did we enjoy our delicious donuts. Each one was very unique from the yeast, cake and cruller varieties with delicious glazes or toppings to add more flavor and texture. You simply have to stop by and try this place when in town. Their lineup of breakfast Sammie's look spectacular also... and happy to see they offer pork roll as an option - an homage to hometown Philly!

I read about this shop and decided to give it a try, and the reviews definitely didn't disappoint. The place has a really cool look, and one of the employees, Jason, was one cool cat!

I'm glad I did! I will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.

A longtime employee took the shop over and has kept all the good things about Tony's and has added some really great touches. The donuts are old school and delicious.

The decor is classic donut shop with some cute Maine-themed paintings and a seating area outside for when it's nice. Honestly, if you're in Portland, add Tony's to your list!

We all ordered a mix of things, including the chili, poutine, and fries, and everything was mouthwatering. The food came out quickly, and the atmosphere was great for hanging out and enjoying a meal with friends. Our server, Bri, was AMAZING! She made the experience that much better and deserves a shoutout for outstanding service. If you're in Portland, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Great food, great atmosphere, and great service. Ask for Bri!

Do not come here expecting to sit at a cafe and eat indoors. There are only a few outdoor tables. This is more of a take out spot. There was a preorder area which had no line seemed like a good option if you want to just drive up and grab your goods without waiting in a long line. The drinks (iced tea/cold brew/hot coffee/tea) are premade and I would say are above average. The pastries we had were unbelievable! Flakey, buttery croissants with simple but punchy flavors. This spot is worth the wait!

Sad faced, I only bought a $4 lemon tart for myself to snack on. What he said matched up with what the boat itself told us, especially since we had crossed borders on this ride. So I played it safe. But my real life experience on this specific cruise at this particular time was that no one cared what I took with me when I self-disembarked.

The 'Holy Donut' feels like a 'must try' for foodies who live in, or visit, Maine. Famous for their…read morepotato donuts, the quality is absolutely reliable and excellent. They clearly use excellent ingredients, that really help prevent overly saccharine donuts. Their seasonal varieties provide a good number of new flavors to try. That said, their sweet donuts overshadow what I would argue is their best donut: the savory bacon cheddar! Their description of "ooey, gooey, cheesey and delicious" is spot on for this one. I also generally recommend the maple bacon, triple C (caramel, coconut, and chocolate), and trying one of the fruity holy canoli. While all locations are clean, very friendly, and professional, I especially recommend the Scarborough location. The drive-through and reduced foot-traffic (compared to the Portland locations) can make it faster to drive there on a busy day than wait in the Portland lines! Scarborough also has good parking, WiFi, and a comfortable place to sit. I get the feeling that this business treats their employees well and cares about things like local ingredients.

The Cookie Jar Pastry Shop…read more The Cookie Jar is a small, quaint, timeless little capsule of fresh dough and bold flavors--the kind of place that feels like it has absolutely no interest in whatever the rest of the world is currently doing. Since 1950's The strawberry cake donut was my favorite by far. Excellent flavor, great texture, and worth going out of your way for. The blueberry cake was excellent too, and the sugar-raised met my admittedly particular donut standards. My only critique? These donuts are huge. Almost unnecessarily huge. I'd actually prefer them a little smaller, which is not something I normally say about donuts. But despite their size, they're surprisingly light and airy. I walked away not feeling overly full, but somehow still thinking, "I could eat one more." That feels like the correct outcome. Wonderful people, great donuts, and a charming little spot that feels like it belongs exactly where it is. The Cookie Jar. Come hungry. Leave contemplating another donut.

Staff were sweet and helpful and happy to answer questions and take care of me. They had a range of cookies, brownies, and other baked goods that all looked delicious as well as some coffee and tea.
