What better way to celebrate the 250th birthday of our country than to try out the warmest table in hospitality: an Italian one. In a place where la famiglia é tutto, they know how to greet you. We were invited in by the quintessential Italian signs as much as the complex aromas. The pastries were a delight, but it was me who was delighted by the Old World style adorning the newly renovated space. A mixture of textures, from wood to stone work to leather chairs helped create the ambiance, and the cathedral ceiling was highlighted by painted white rafters. Today I tried the spiral ham on brioche breakfast sandwich and a café Americano, and I got a pastry with cannoli filling to go. I'm not sure what I'll get next time, but I know this bakery is a recipe for something great about our country. I'm no Maine scholar, but I'm pretty sure the state motto: "Dirigo," translates to "The pastries are delizioso," (give or take.) read more

I've seen Enzo Benzo recommended in various FB groups but I'm not usually in the area. We were passing by for swim lessons and I'm so glad we stopped in. The donuts may have been the best I've had - the Boston cream was delightfully fluffy and bursting with custard that was not overpoweringly sweet. I also snacked on a plain croissant on the drive and was content with the crunchy top and honeycomb inside. I saw someone else enjoying a gelato - that will have to be the next on my list! There are two parking areas so if you can't find a spot, drive to the other side of the building! read more

We have been driving by this space for years and wondered if anything would move in and something did! Yummy eats and drinks. We had a friend bring by samples a few weeks ago ,and we could not wait to drive by and check it out. Plenty of parking off the road. Big space for you, a friend, or many friends to stop by, order, and enjoy indoor and outdoor seating. So many food and drink options from breakfast to lunch and even gelato! Yep...that too. Though, did not realize they had gelato until we were leaving. Next time. read more

It's hard to believe that a bakery this good is in Eliot, Maine. This is big city quality, authentic Italian place in a country setting. In addition to all the great pastries and donuts, they now have Gelato imported from Italy. The seating area is huge and there are several tables outside on the huge porch. This is a great place to get breakfast, coffee, and a pastry and sit and socialize for hours. read more

One month overdue.. Stopped at Enzo Benzo in Eliot, and it was a great experience. It has a cozy, old-world Italian bakery feel with a modern touch. The pastries were delicious crispy croissants, flavorful cakes, and a warm apricot croissant that was perfect. The chocolate cake with pistachio ricotta was outstanding. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. They even made my son a fresh hot chocolate without me asking, which he loved. The space is cozy with a small fireplace and seasonal décor, and it's clean with bathroom access, which is a big plus for parents with young kids. My four-year-old gave it his official stamp of approval. Looking forward to returning. Highly recommend Enzo Benzo Italian Bakery & Café for pastries, coffee, lukewarm, hot chocolate, and a welcoming atmosphere. read more

What a great little Italian bakery!! The ladies behind the counter were incredible, so friendly and knowledgeable! They took the time to welcome us and go through all of the donuts and flavors they had in the case. We got the north ender (their version of a Boston cream), a cherry filled, a pistachio filled and an apricot filled croissant. Everything was beyond delicious! We will definitely be back! read more

What a sweet, hard-working family that own this place. The pastries and desserts are top notch. It's an amazing place and the mortadella sandwich was die for. There is no other place I would rather splurge on calories, this is it! If you are in the area, treat yourself to some delicious pastries and lunch! read more

The pastry case beckons from the moment you walk in the door! The case is filled with all sorts of incredible cakes, cannolis, pastries and donuts. I'm sure they are all as delicious as they are beautiful. I had a pistachio and cream filled sfogliatella ("lobster tail") that was so delicious. I appreciated that the cream filling wasn't overly sweet. It was just right and the flaky, buttery crust was perfect. I only wish I had paused to take a photo before devouring it because it was also beautiful. The staff is friendly and helpful, and I can tell that it's a creative and fun place to work. Honestly? My only disappointment is that I didn't discover this place a week ago, and I left the area this morning. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

Wow! The bakery is so cozy on the inside. Food is amazing! Tastes like it just came out of the oven. The pizza crust was so airy and crispy and soft. Had a ricotta pizza. If you don't stop here you are missing out! I haven't even mentioned the delicious bakery items. It is worth the drive! Go now! You won't be disappointed. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Seriously go now!!! My new favorite place. read more

All good...the Italian pastries, the pizza, the coffees, the sandwiches, etc. ! The new building with great indoor and outdoor seating ! read more

This place is great. They have a wide variety of Italian pastries and a few savory options as well. Delicious donuts (benzos) and the focaccia pizza is delicious. We did order one of their sandwiches, which was good but a price is not listed and we had were shocked it was $16. But nice option nearby. read more

Sweet food, sweet people. We're in love, they just don't know it yet. I am happy to see all of the cars at the new location when I drive by. They deserve it. The care and attention to detail stands out in todays world where it feels like mediocre is the standard. Their efforts are obvious ,undeniable, and worth going out of the way for. read more

First time at Enzo Benzo did not disappoint. When you first walk in, your eye is drawn to a selection of donuts, pastrys, and cakes on display. They all looked incredible, but we settled on a pistachio custard donut and savory focaccia roll fresh out of the oven- both so great. We tried the caramel macchiato which was made perfectly. We also took a slice of hazelnut cake to go. Everyone working there looked genuinely happy to be there- something you don't often see! The owner was very nice and gave us a sample of cherry gelato which was very delicious. They have a variety of options for any time of day and we will definitely return read more

Go here! They did a great job with the interior overhaul from prior businesses. The food was delightful. We tried both savory and sweet and honestly had to stop ordering when our bakery box was full. We went in just after 11AM on Sunday and it was quite busy but the ambience remained inviting. There was a broad selection of both savory and sweet options. More than 5 stars! read more

The food is really good (sandwich and dessert). The coffee is great (cappuccino). The service was prompt and friendly. And it's a very lovely space. I'll definitely be back! read more

WOW! If you haven't tried this shop now is the time! Amazing bread, Stromboli, sandwiches and then there's pastries and gelato to enjoy with a lovely cup of cappuccino or espresso. Hang out at a table near the fireplace or enjoy Al fresco dining on the patio. Whenever it's open, don't miss the opportunity as your tastebuds and stomach will hug you! read more

We tried this cute little cafe and was pleasantly surprised to the variety of donuts and pastries. Tried the pepperoni and cheese Stromboli and egg and cheese croissant.the service was excellent , friendly and fast! Inside dining area was cute and outdoor seating was very nice!

Another newer place slept on! Nice little drive for some awesome Italian donuts alongside amazing cannoli (shells made in house) as well as house made Italian cakes and focaccia. Can eat a couple of those donuts and not feel like one has a brick lodged in one's guts. Also artfully minimal with the sweetening which I find makes the filled donuts truly shine. read more

AMAZING authentic Italian creations. Flavors that you don't usually find outside a city, this place is such high quality... worth the 45m drive!!

LOVE this place, one of the favorites I get to go to! read more

Having been to this location when it was a different business this was a pleasant surprise. Italian Bakery with all kinds of Breads and deserts. And fresh baked cafe items. We tried the Italian style Ham (Prociutto) spinach, onion and cream cheese with olive oil sandwich on Focaccia. And the Roman style pizza with an amazing soft and airy crust, pepperoni and cheese. We also tried a Lemon square that was delightful. And just couldn't resist the Faccoccia roll for later. B tried a Stapoi Chinotto which was a burnt Carmel flavor with orange drink. That was a little surprise to the senses (but the flavor grows on you). We'll definitely be back. read more

One bite into a sandwich at Enzo Benzo and you know that quality and care goes into everything they make. The donuts are delicious and if possible the sandwiches are even better. We didn't get the focaccia but after having their bread I am eager to get some on our return. What a find! read more

Holy Cannoli! My boyfriend and I visited for donuts and cold brew, but ended up also leaving with their delicious acclaimed cannolis, too! The owner and woman working the counter were so much fun to chat with and seem to really love what they do. The space is cute and cozy and makes you really feel like you're somewhere familiar. Will definitely visit again soon! read more

Incredible gourmet donuts--best in the area. To top it off, the owner is very friendly. The donuts were so good that we literally went back the next day to try delicious looking sandwiches. Also amazing. This place does everything very well. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped here in May 2022 on way to visit The Red Barn at Outlook Farm for my daughter's wedding venue search tour. The staff was very nice and they had a good selection of what i would call "cake" or "old fashion" donuts. My husband enjoyed the cinnamon bun and ate the rest the following day using their recommendation to put in microwave a few seconds. I LOVED the "raised" cannoli stuffed donut! I may reach out to them to see if they can make smaller ones (donut hole size) for our daughter's wedding! They were light and delicious and very unique. Nice highlight to our day trip from southern Ma to Maine! Intersting that they appeared to be next to two cannabis dispensaries!! Btw...we booked The Red Barn! LOVED that too (and the food at the Golf Course Club house--order their spring rolls)! read more
