Warning! These donuts are softer than they appear! They are so pillowy soft it's insane. I got a pack of the cinnamon sugar and it was divine! Best donut I've had in a long time! I think the fact that they're made fresh makes a huge difference and I would get these donuts every day if I could. read more

This place is so cute! I came to grab a 25-pack "Sugar Rush" for my birthday party and the donuts were a huge hit with my friends. So tasty, plus the bite-size-ness of the donuts make them easy to try many flavors. I got my donuts quickly, and the girl behind the counter was super nice. read more

If you are considering coming here... JUST DO IT!!!! The lemon zinger bite was unreal. There was a group from the UK in there that had already gone to two other donut shops and said this was the best by far. You won't regret it!!! Also Garrett is the sweetest ever.

Addictive donuts. Initially we were hesitant because we just wanted individual donuts and they only come in packs of six, but in fact we needed six and then another six. They were fresh, hot, and perfect two-bite donuts. The Boston cream were great, would definitely recommend ones with the chocolate glaze. read more

Nice little corner stop shop with some seating right off the street! Honestly this place is cute with average service. They do have bathrooms too! There are a ton of doughnut options but keep in mind they're bite size and are fried. There may be larger ones I'm not sure. They were good but very sweet, not my favorite but others in my party loved them. read more

I didn't know a food truck, and a donut food truck for that matter, could make me feel this way. Went for walk along eastern prom and thought I'd treat myself to a donut post-exercise. Put in an order for the freshly made, hand-dipped strawberry glazed donuts. Just a few minutes later, my order was walked over to me and I was presented with hot, freshly made, dripping-in-glaze donuts that I truly could not stop popping into my mouth. Enjoy while fresh, I saved a few to enjoy the next day and the frosted seeped into the donut (still good, but I really missed that glazed look). Expensive per donut? Sure. Worth it? 100%. Great for kids. Great for adults. Great for anyone that has a pulse. read more

Made to order donuts! Served hot and fresh. I highly recommend and seems like a grate catered food too as they also have a food truck. Perfect bite sized donuts for any occasion. We ordered the 007 and blueberry cheesecake. Both were great. I love the dough and how it's crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Sweet for my taste but it's a great shareable food and toppings had great flavor. I loved the indoor upstairs seating area. Parking: street parking read more

Wow, these donuts are absolutely out of this world! I definitely think I understand the entire hype and everything about them. They come out super Duper warm and it taste so good when it's fresh however, the only thing that I would say is that it was kind of hard to find parking near it, and it was kind of disappointing that you could only order one flavor for six donuts. They made them fast n super super Duper clean inside. read more

Umm... this place sucks. Doughnuts have no nuance, decor beyond tacky, staff absent (also the minimum order is 6 mini doughnuts ughh). I can't stress enough how gross the doughnuts were. We got a half dozen maple / bacon and lemon something, and some coffee. Overly manufactured sweetness with no real flavor or gravitas. I truly have no idea why tf this has 4.6 stars. If you have even remotely good taste, and/or have had a doughnut before, avoid this place like the plague. It's a franchise with only one store ‍ read more

I tried a bunch of different flavors after a recommendation and was impressed with the quality. These donuts were better than most I've tried before. Boston cream - My overall favorite Lemon - Simple and delicious Strawberry frosted - Strong strawberry flavor Chocolate frosted - These were like the hostess ones but way better quality Maine maple - These tasted like pancakes 007 - This was the only flavor I did not like. The bacon was super smokey. Others might enjoy these though. Jelly - The raspberry jelly was the strongest flavor Bamm bamm - Nailed the fruity pebbles taste. The cereal texture is a bit off from being in icing but still really good. Classic white glaze - Tasted like a glazed donut Cookies and cream - This one was a little average compared to the rest but still good The flavors were straightforward but executed perfectly. read more

As someone who feels pretty meh about donuts in general (controversial, I know), I LOOOOVED Eighty 8. Something about a full-sized, heavy donut just doesn't do it for me, but 6 mini donuts (of which I only had 2 because my coworkers scarfed them down)? It hit the spot. What's worth ordering here are multiple of the 'six packs', aka six mini donuts of the same flavor. I tried the cookies and cream (aka Oreo) and only wish I had bought more. They were excellent and gone almost immediately. The service was extremely friendly, and the donuts are served fresh and hot. They're flavorful without tasting artificial, and melt in your mouth. I also ordered an iced strawberry matcha, which was equally as delish. Can't wait to head back! read more

Only being able to buy packs of one flavor. ( event though they are small ) isn't great to me. I'd love to try all the flavors or at least two or three in one box. We ordered Boston Cream and a box of Chocolate. Husband also wanted a hot chocolate and asked what made the Coco Loco Loco. Cashier had no idea and made no attempt to ask. We waited inside and after 5 or so min a young lady handed us 2 boxes. So we left with them. Turned out not to be the donuts we ordered. They were maple and cookies and cream. We ate them any way. Guessing some got our order and we got theirs. They were good though. I don't fell like the young lady taking orders on the front end has had any customer service training. If a customer asked a question and you don't know the answer fine out who does. If you take names for orders, before handing them to someone double check the name. We aren't from this area but if we were we wouldn't be back. read more

Great donuts! Great owners!! I have gone to their brick and mortar location during the donut "food fights" event. They were in our top 2 of the dozen we tried that day. They had a lot of different flavors you could choose from and they make the flavors in half dozen qty. The fruit flavors are so vibrant - especially the lemon. Wow so good. The fact they are made to order is incredible. that magic machine in the back we watched, reminded me of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory OG movie...with the everlasting gobstoppers. :) It was magical to watch. They hand apply the glazes/flavors. The owner to the time to chat with us when he realized it was our first visit and I was wide eyed and excited to be there. The donuts were so great that not only did we use our coupons, but we bought additional donuts and without shame ate every single one of them that same day! I highly recommend their donuts and supporting the owners. I like this business a lot and am trying to find an excuse to invite them to a party..their truck is for hire. read more

A wonderful local donut shop serving freshly made mini donuts! FYI, they are only sold in certain numbers (ie 6, 12, 25) so be prepared to order according to the guidelines. The service was quick - the donuts were delivered quickly. The staff wasn't particularly friendly but we also only interacted very briefly. We tried the fruit pebble, coco pow (cocoa powder), cookies and cream, cinnamon sugar, and lemon zinger (lemon topping with raspberry filling). Everyone loved the cinnamon sugar the best! The donut was crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. It is a small, cozy place with very limited seating. I would probably recommend picking up and eating elsewhere next time as the seating is counter style, up a flight of stairs, and next to the bathrooms. read more

My husband is an doughnut aficionado so we usually stop by a different well known donut shop in Portland when we're there. But our feet wandered by Eighty 8 so we decided to try something new. Boy, were we won over! I tried a pack of the lemon zinger bites. My husband got classic chocolate glazed. There's just something about a hot, fresh, fluffy donut--even on a summer day. The lemon and raspberry were a nice balance of sweet and citrus tang. Service was fast and friendly. I appreciated the little outdoor seating set up in the shade.

Truly some of the best in town. The staff is always incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the donuts are consistently fresh and delicious. This week, I called literally 20 minutes before closing to place an order and they couldn't have been more gracious. And please never get rid of the 25 mini donut party box. Being able to choose any five flavors is a huge reason we keep coming back. We love you, Eighty 8!

So, we decided to sneak over here after a busy morning at the lighthouse with our toddler for a nice, filling lunch before a later flight home. We must've gotten lucky on a Sunday bc our wait for three people was about 15-20 minutes quoted and we spent 10 minutes walking the block to entertain our toddler, came back to check-in and our table was ready! yay! We had a great table in the corner by the window which was excellent with our toddler. Our server, Brian, was wonderful and super friendly. Menu isn't huge but, has enough stuff that should be able to please most. We chose a small fry with the daily dip which was almost like a mayo-based honey mustard dijon and was delicious, with ketchup and vinegar for dipping. Fries were crispy and delicious. We got the green salad and the Cuban to split and loved both. The sandwich was delicious and the green salad was light and refreshing with some really yummy herbs on top to include fennel which isn't usually on a salad but I loved the taste for this one, worked perfectly with the dressing. My husband ordered their house-made cherry soda and let me tell you, best cherry soda of my life! We ordered two bc I drank about half of it. They have a charming outdoor patio area with about 3-4 other tables. Charming spot - def. recommend! Wait can get super long - by the time we left they were quoting over an hour for a table since it's smaller inside and large parties can take up almost all the spaces.

After having some of the bread prior to our meals at a few restaurants, we found out the bread is locally sourced at a sister business right around the corner from where ate the night before.

There was so much to select from - we got pastries, cookies, pizza and bread - and we pretty much liked everything. Our least favorite was the morning bun with walnuts - we didn't have it right away so that might've been part of the issue. Just note that the bread served at the restaurants aren't available until 2pm - we were leaving that morning so we weren't going wait for it. We opted for other loaves instead and they didn't disappoint. If you want something yummy and fresh - make sure to stop by here before heading out of Portland.

The Holy Donut

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.

I also got an iced vanilla latte - thoroughly enjoyed the latte! Four adults and a toddler sampled a bunch of donuts - sounds like the start of a terrible joke...These are my notes on all of the donuts and not a consensus from the group, in no particular order. Woopie pie: 4 stars - good flavor and texture, nice way to begin this sampling experience. Bacon cheddar fried donut: 5 stars - delicious, amazing flavor, served hot, good distribution of fillings; would gladly have this again! Margarita: 3 stars - definitely taste the salt and lime, little bit of tequila as well; glad I experienced this, not something I'll go back for. Key lime holy cannoli: 5 stars - love the texture of the donut, light and fluffy, good lime flavor and enjoyed the cannoli cream. Creme brulee: 3 stars - good flavor, the crystallized chunks of sugar were a nice touch; I had high hopes, and it was alright but not life changing - that's on me. Maple: 3 stars - typical maple donut, not overwhelming with flavor but definitely knew it was maple. Maple bacon: 4 stars - lots of bacon, almost balanced by the maple. Blueberry lemon: 5 stars - really great lemon flavor to the glaze, blueberry flavor comes through the donut nicely; looking forward to having this again! Vanilla holy cannoli: 5 stars - again, love the texture of the donut, classic flavor with the cannoli cream; I would gladly eat a whole one of these! Chocolate sea salt: 3 stars - good chocolate flavor, didn't get much of the sea salt coming through. Pomegranate: 4 stars - very sweet, good amount of pomegranate flavor; could not eat a whole one as it would be too sweet for me. Honey lavender: 5 stars - mmm, honey and lavender partnered nicely, sweet but not obnoxiously so, loved how well the lavender flavor came through; I very much so enjoy botanicals in sweet treats and lattes. Toasted coconut: 5 stars - deliciously sweet coconut taste, nostalgic flavor of something my grandma use to make, I really enjoyed it! Such a fun way to bond with friends and spend a relaxing morning on vacation! Would gladly get donuts here again, and now that i know my favorites, I can be more intentional with my order next time

I grew up in the south, I've had all kinds of biscuits and usually they are dry or crumbly and I usually end up saying, "eh, not worth the calories" Walking up there a line out the door, but it moved quickly, I was surprised that most things were already made and they just put it on a tray for you and you pay, very lunch line, and its not served hot!?! I immediately wished I had asked them to heat it up for me, but oh well were sitting already and they were busy! All my fears melted away when I tasted those delicious carbs!

But then, it gets better... one bite of that strawberry butter one, yep it's delicious moved right up the list, best biscuit I've ever had! The butter seems ridiculous like so much but it's so good, I swear seems like it's whipped with cream cheese or something cause what!?

It's very popular and busy, so I highly encourage you to make a reservation ahead of time. The restaurant is dimly lit with lovely tea lights strewn throughout. The dining area has a very warm feel with a clear view of kitchen, where you can watch the staff expertly prepare your food. I was seated at the bar, which isn't my favorite place to sit for a meal, but it was still nice. The bartender who took care of us was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He also made the BEST Shirley Temple I've ever had. The menu offers a wide array of seafood and meat dishes. The oysters on the half shell seemed to be very popular amongst diners. My husband and I enjoyed the New England Cornbread, Salt Cod Croquettes, Baked Haddock (me), Seafood Stew (him) and the Blueberry & Vanilla Mousse Cake. Each item was so, so good!

I loved that it was right by the harbor and you could see the ocean right outside. I felt like the service was pretty standard, but the food was disappointing. We got the cornbread and the fried squid with cherry peppers to start. We also ordered the halibut ceviche, the fish and chips, and the seared scallops. The corn bread was decent at best. The butter it was paired with was good, but overall the dish was nothing special. (6/10) The fried squid with cherry peppers was one of the better dishes of the night. The squid was well cooked and tender. I liked the thin and cripsy batter on the squid and the peppers. The sour/sweet taste of the peppers with the squid paired well and I liked all the sauces it came with as well. (7.5/10) The halibut ceviche was not what I expected at all. The halibut was bland and very chewy. The dish was more like a crudo than a ceviche. Though the fish was fresh it was not representative of a ceviche. (4/10) The fish and chips were also a disappointment. The fish batter was way too thick for my liking though the fish inside was perfectly cooked. I also was not a fan of the beer batter itself. The fries were too salty. The best thing on the plate was the tartar sauce. (5/10) The scallops were super tender and cooked perfectly. I liked the bits of bacon and mushroom on the plate as well. The plating is also stunning. The flavors of this dish were the best out of everything we tried. (8.8/10) Overall, the restaurant is gorgeous and feels upscale and the service is decent, but the food was a let-down for me. At this high of a price point, I just expected the flavors/ quality of the dishes to be better. Though there were some good dishes, the majority of the food we had was not on par with other seafood restaurants I have tried. We could have just gotten the wrong things, but I wouldn't go back based on my experience.

Beautiful !

I should have just checked on Yelp since one of my Yelp friends gave this five stars! I have to concur because I stopped her with my co-worker and my husband for a couple of beers and have to say two things: 1) they have a great beer list that rotates frequently, 2) the bartenders are top notch. You know sometimes you go to a cool beer place and it seems like the bartenders want to do ANYTHING but actually give you a beer in exchange for cash? This place is the opposite and it's wonderful. Very helpful with the beer list, suggestions, tastes, etc. They are also quick to offer another beer where as some places it seems like pulling teeth to try to get a beverage. It was lively but not slammed when I was there but I can tell these guys would manage great even if the bar was two or three deep with customers. Yeah, I thing the Mash Tun is one of the best beer bars I've been to and in a place like Portland that is in the top echelon of beer cities, that is an achievement to respect.

Recommended: Absolutely, for a unique and delightful donut experience. Overall: A standout donut shop offering hot, fresh, and light mini donuts that are a cut above the rest. Snapshot: Food: 5/5 Drink: NA Vibe: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Value: 5/5 ‍‍ Family-Friendly: 3/5 Highlights: Perfect For: Indulging in hot and fresh mini donuts Don't Miss: The Boston Cream minis, with their perfectly settled cream Bonus Tip: Expect a short wait for your donuts, but they're worth it All The Details: Eighty 8 Donut Café in Portland, Maine, is one of my all-time favorites in a city known for great donuts. What sets them apart is their offering of hot and fresh mini donuts. Unlike other good donut places in the city that often have dense and not-so-fresh options, these light and airy mini donuts are a rare treat. The Boston Cream minis are my personal favorite. The cream just settles perfectly, almost melting over each donut, making them melt-in-your-mouth delectable. Despite my intentions to share, I often find myself devouring almost the entire box alone - they're that good. A small wait is expected when you order, but it's absolutely worth it for the freshness. The café itself is quite small, and while there is seating upstairs, it's not the most convenient for moms with babies and strollers. I recommend either enjoying your donuts on a nearby bench or taking advantage of their outdoor seating, if available, to savor these fresh delights. read more

Service is quick and friendly. What's even better, they now have online ordering for pick up!! Now, if they run out of a donut or it's not available - they will substitute the closest possible.
