I would normally give this place a 4 star but only because it doesn't have many food options to support my diet (dairy/meat free), HOWEVER, their vibe and offerings rock and they have cultivated such a great offering for the community. It's one of the most vibrant spots in the city I have found. I've had their bagels before which are great! But they don't have any vegan cream cheese yet. Maybe someday. They do have Oat and almond milk options for coffees for only .50 additional charge, which is unheard of and greatly appreciated! They have smoothie bowls which I'm stoked to try when the weather is a little warmer. They have a chess board table and a little pac man arcade-type game. And a little crayon/board game section. Parking: street or out back. There's a walkway between the buildings to get to their main street entrance if you park out back. read more

Service was great and the mini-donuts were beautiful and delicious! Coffee was good, too.

Love Frannies !!! They're such tasty little morsels of perfection. They almost always have a live, and a rather large selection. If you're smart, you'll order ahead, so you can partake in every flavor they have that day. They only make a certain amount of each, and once gone, they gone. During the fall season they had things like apple pie and apple cider and pumpkin and all kinds of seasonal goodness. Then they have the usuals , with a twist. The ambiance and is quaint bakery on Maine street America. With a feeling that everyone is welcome. There's a little pug that seems to be the mascot of the business, oh so cute! There is a small step up into the unit and then there is a large bar where they keep most of the donuts, nice and covered to keep the fresh. The service is always polite and as fast as they can be. read more

Frannie's Mini Donuts has many great options for a breakfast, but the mini donuts are the best, and make a great gift to take to a family gathering! There is something special about opening the box and seeing these bite size donuts, each one decorated, waiting to be eaten and enjoyed by everyone. It's easy to place an order by phone for pickup , or stop in their cute cafe, and add a beverage also! I think you can become a regular customer! read more

Our favorite place to grab breakfast sandwiches in town. This little shop is the perfect little donut shop. The service is always great.

Obsessed! I first learned about Frannie's Mini Donuts after reading about them on the Downeast Magazine. I saved the place on my Maps and during our latest drive through Sanford we finally stopped by. First of all -- this place is so cute inside. The decor is absolutely dreamy and it just feels out of a magazine. So many colors! We walked in and just felt at home. The donuts were divine. They had so many flavors when we went, so it was a little hard to pick a few. Eventually we got the chocolate, chocolate espresso, and some apple flavored ones and they were all absolutely delicious. I am actually not the biggest fans of donuts (or anything too sweet, really) so having a bite-size version was perfect. We paid $2.95 for 4 mini donuts (which - honestly - weren't THAT small). That was a steal for such quality desserts. The apple fritter one was hands down my favorite. Definitely stopping by Frannie's Mini Donuts every time I'm in the area. read more

The donuts are amazing, and being small you don't feel too bad eating a few. Good prices, $10 for 16, and a lot to choose from, with monthly specials. The bacon egg and cheese was made on a bagel made in house, and I swear it was two bagel tops with the perfect amount of seasoning on top and bottom. Awesome local shop! read more

This place is a Jem on the weekend! Nestled along Main Street in Sanford right across from the farmers market. Small but modern style Maine. Optional seating to enjoy a cup of coffee with a friend. Frannies mini donuts are the perfect size without too much guilt. They have amazing smoothie bowls too! So good! It's worth the stop you won't be disappointed, they are open Fri-Sun 7a-1p according to their website. read more

Donuts were awesome, service was great and atmosphere perfect. Definitely will go again. My coworkers loved the donuts.

What a fun concept! You could smell how good this place was from a block away, no lie. Inside, it's a wonderful space with cool decor and really nice employees. They had a great selection mid-morning on a Saturday (I'm always nervous what will be left at bakeries once you pass the weekend morning rush hour, so to speak). We ended up getting 8 mini doughnuts. It was hard to pick as everything looked amazing. The woman helping us was very patient and explaining each flavor in detail. My favorite (they were all awesome though) was the coffee espresso one. Really great taste. I also loved the maple cream. Blueberry was spectacular. I got two different Boston cream creations and woah, that Boston cream was by far the best I've tasted. You can't go wrong no matter what you pick - they were all fresh, flavorful and very unique. I would stop again in a heartbeat! read more

I have been wanting to try Frannie's for a while, and today I got the chance! The shop itself is beautiful and has a great cozy yet vibrant feeling. Love the colors, decor, seating, etc. When I arrived I was immediately greeted and was getting my donuts. I tried their maple cream donuts, that is my all time favorite, and I judge all bakeries on how they make a maple cream. I purchased 8 donuts, and the cost was $5 plus tax. The donuts are mini sized, so a bit on the pricey side. Flavor, it was alright. These are middle of the road for me. Their maple creams just didn't win me over unfortunately. I can find other donut shops that offer a full size, better tasting donut at a similar or cheaper price. read more

The staff is super friendly! The mini donuts are so delicious with lots of different flavors to choose from!

Yes! Yes! Yes! This was the perfect Saturday morning drive for yummy delicious donuts! I had preordered my donuts ahead of time and they were ready when I arrived. It was an a variety of of flavors, 34 for $20. The cafe itself is inviting, adorable donuts with sprinkles in the walls, games for the kids, pastel shirts for sale. We also bought 8 extra donuts that we got to pick the flavor of, I was in love with the peanut butter explosion and the filled Boston cream. It was a bit of a drive for me but I would 1000% take the drive back again! read more

If you have not tried their breakfast sandwich, I highly recomend! The donuts are obviously delicious, but don't skip grabbing a sandwich!

Frannie's is a new mini donut shop located on Main Street in Sanford, that was formerly the New England Bakery and Dirty Dozen Donuts. The value here is very good, it's $10 for 16 mini donuts. Frannie's had a small selection of donuts when I visited; some of them classics like Boston Cream and others more creative like Tiramisu. They bake the doughnuts fresh throughout the day, and you can see the bakers hard at work behind the counter which is a neat experience. The employees were fast, efficient, and very pleasant. The inside of the establishment was very clean and had floor markers indicating where to stand. Signs were posted asking for customers to wear masks and there were separate entrances/exits. The donuts were good overall, but there were a couple that were overly sweet for my taste and the cocoa pebbles topping ended up having a chewy texture, which was a bit of a let down. I would visit this location again and would recommend to anyone looking for fresh donuts with some fun and unique flavors. read more

I love this place so much. The family who owns it is so kind and lovely, you feel like you're over at their house for breakfast. They are filling a real gap we had in Sanford - a bakery with fresh breakfast sandwiches, great coffee, and really great donuts. They are also adding smoothie bowls soon! I'm not much of a donut fan, but the apple pie donuts have converted me. Fritters are excellent as well. The decor and atmosphere is really fun, and they keep the place SPOTLESS. read more

This place is awesome! Setting the bar for what we need in the Sanford area. Upcoming small businesses come visit Frannie's and take notes. We were greeted with awesome service, served perfected recipes, and also recommended new items. We recently participated in their Santa letter exchange and that sealed the deal for the Yelp review. Look forward to seeing this place succeed. read more

We cannot recommend this little doughnut shop enough!! Mini doughnuts are the way to go for sure. Too many of the other local places have huge gourmet monstrosities that are tasty, but you can't eat the whole thing and still try the other flavors. These mini doughnuts are the perfect size and plenty of variety!! I finally found a place that I can try all the flavors I want without wasting food. Definitely something for everyone here!! Can't wait to bring my kids back next weekend. Oh, and super affordable!! I can safely say this will be a new weekend tradition for our family of 8 and not feel guilty about the cost. Great job, Frannies!! read more
