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

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

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

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.

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.

The Portland Fog was especially delicious -- I love a lavender + earl grey combo -- though I wish it was 10% lighter on the lavender flavor. The chocolate & sea salt flavor combo was also delicious (though you can never go wrong with that flavor pairing). I will flag for those with dietary restrictions that there are unfortunately no vegan or vegetarian donuts here, since they fry all their donuts in lard. Overall, a pleasant experience. I'm looking forward to trying more flavors!

Tony's is an amazing spot. When I heard that there was a change in ownership, I was concerned. But…read morethere was absolutely nothing to be worried about. 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!

The cream of tomato fennel soup was also excellent and the doughnut holes were a nice sweet treat. The staff was very nice and attentive and friendly. They were very informative of the dishes and menu. The atmosphere was lively with some dark but good visibility for both outside and inside seating.

Fries were delicious. Not sure the duck fat thing was actually a thing but they were quite good nonetheless. Caesar salad with duck confit. Caesar was way too salty but the duck confit was so good. Definitely add it. So. Good. Caesar salad shouldn't be salty. It has no salt in it. So they have to figure that out. My companion enjoyed her green goddess salad and got the duck confit as well. She tried the Bluett wine which I had a sip of, and while she couldn't really describe it, she (and I) found it quite lovely. Fizzy, not too sweet, tasted like wine (rather than blueberry sweetness ). I'd order it. Nice experience. Small place. Limited menu but I'd eat it again.

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!

Prices for the pastries were reasonable at around $4-5 each. $7.50 for the olive onion focaccia. Got the ham and cheese crossaint which was delicious. Also the sea salt chocolate cookie, focaccia and morning bun. The focaccia was not as soft and airy as I was hoping but had good flavor. The cookie and morning bun were tasty. Coffee is just drip coffee they have premade and you dispense into your cup. Service was good.

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 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.

I'm not trying to beat a dead horse, but these are the best biscuits in the world…read more Crunchy, soft, airy, moist, buttery... It's literally everything you'd ever want in a biscuit and to make matters worse, they do a sweet and savory option that really puts me over the edge. This weekend: tomato jam and goat cheese. These biscuits have to be on it a top 25 list of best things I've ever put in my mouth. It's really an incredible experience, even if you wait in that heinously long line. But, you don't have to wait in line. Wake up by 745 and place your order online you can order any of the baked goods or breakfast sandwiches, along with drip and cold brew coffee. They will keep your biscuit sandwiches hot, store your pastries for you, and they don't pour your coffee until you arrive for pick up. So you can order at 7:45 in the morning and pick up at 1 PM if you really wanted. It's as good as they say, and you must make a point of visiting when you're in Portland!

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

It was a scrumptious combo and I thought the bagel itself was a very good bagel. Each addition is a bit pricey - $4.50 each for the egg and turkey bacon, for example. In general for their own specialty bagels or for a combo of three things you make yourself, you're looking at a $15+ bagel. However, said bagel also comes with an enjoyable ambiance. It's a bit indie/cutesie/intentionally lighthearted but very enjoyable. There are window seats to look out on to the street and a whole separate large room of tables that would make for a good place to get some work done if that is the goal. There is sweet gift section with the Russ & Daughters story/cookbook, t shirts, and clever hand-designed cards. The service was hit or miss - one employee was very attentive, another seemed annoyed to have to serve customers (although in a NYC deli, after which this place appears to take its inspiration, a little grinchiness perhaps makes the experience more authentic). All around, a few small negatives, but I really enjoyed my bagel and its surroundings, so five stars. UPDATE - I went back a second time and got basically the same thing minus the turkey bacon ie a bagel with cream cheese and an egg, and an iced coffee. Came out to about $15. I think their prices are just unreasonably high unfortunately and the egg the second time around fell flat.

The employees did not look very happy, no one was smiling or interacting with the clients. Just calling names/numbers and taking order. One would think with all pretty treats, great smells and happy customers the mood would be a little more upbeat.
