Happened to drive by on my search to find downtown Belfast and treats for my community--wow! So…read moreglad I stopped! Was 1:40 pm on a Saturday, luckily they were still open and 17 donuts were left. Some plain, some cinnamon sugar, a few marbled chocolate and vanilla. Absolutely delicious! Great texture, not too sweet , just the right size. We gobbled them up. Next time I'm up Down East, I'll definitely be stopping by again, hopefully earlier in the day to try more kinds.

I couldn't get up the icy steps with my cane, so I sent my wife to get me a doughnut. Honestly, it was okay, but didn't really taste like brioche and it just felt like a perfunctory donut. It didn't really taste of German Chocolate either, which I ordered, but it was huge and rather light. Perhaps it was a off day, as I really didn't have a knock your socks off experience. The owner was sweet, and kind. I would try it again, but I wouldn't get what I ordered again.

They had been pretty well cleaned out by the attendees at the Saturday Club Crawl, but luckily an extremely yummy looking strawberry shortcake donut was available. I loved it!

My only slight concern was that it was messy, could have used a fork, but licked all of whatever was on them!

Visiting from out of town, 8:00am Saturday: no line, full selection, friendly and chill vibes…read more These donuts have a slightly chewy, dense texture that is very pleasant and not quite like any other baked good I can think of. The flavor doesn't hit you immediately but develops as you chew. A novel donut. Lemon, vanilla, and blueberry were my favorites. The whoopie pie donut tastes just like a whoopie pie, if that's your thing. I was a little disappointed in the sweet potato ginger -- I don't think I could have identified the flavors in a blind tasting, too subtle. But still tasty. Definitely recommend this spot for a different kind of donut experience.

I've Seen Better Glaze…read more Family-owned chain of donut shops that started off in a home kitchen driven with a dream and some Maine potatoes, and has turned into one of Downtown Portland's biggest foodie destinations. Holy Donut opened their first Portland location back in 2012, and they now have five locations around the state, including this DT location which is probably their busiest. The Good: *Vegan & Gluten-free offerings--but they're not synonymous! Check the fine print or ask. *Coast-to-Coast shopping options, including vending machines (we saw some at PWM). *Online ordering available for pickup. Tbh this is probably the way to get them, as you can skip the line and go straight to the back at the pickup window and just get your stuff right quick. You're welcome. *Donuts are made daily from scratch and feature seasonal and limited flavors. The Meh: *You'll most likely have to pay for parking at this DT location. *You'll also most likely encounter a large line to order from, depending on the time of day. When we walked by earlier before lunch it was HUGE, but after lunch it was down to manageable ±10 people ifo of us, and it did move pretty quick, as well. I mean, it is just donuts ffs. It shouldn't take you more than a few minutes to decide. The Ugly: *Pricing is a bit obscene at ±$5/ea, but it's to be expected in a extremely popular area full of tourists and cruises. *Take this with a grain of salt, as I'm very particular about donuts in general, but I found them to be very heavy and just OK. Also, the flavors could've been punchier, as I found the taste a little too muted for my liking. Conclusion: Definitely not worth a long wait or the price imo, but if you're in the area, the line is short, and you have $5 burning a hole in your pocket then I say go for it. Because, evidently, I'm in the minority judging by the popularity and reviews. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Holy goodness!! Worth the hype!!…read more This was on my list of places to try and wow I am so happy we finally did! As soon as we walked in, i knew it would be great as you can see them working in the kitchen. I always think that shows how good the food will be if you can see them work. The food was fantastic, the donut was insane!! All of it was so tasty I can't wait to start driving up and taking everyone I know. I know I will love it through the seasons too! Everything is so fresh. The space is small but quaint so I would recommend getting a reservation! They do have a sweet bar you can sit at and look into the kitchen too. I loved the market, you can actually go and grab something to drink in there and have it for your table. The market also has quality cooking ingredients you can buy and cute nic nacs too!

I'm so glad i stumbled into this quaint spot. I was in the mood of a pastry and a coffee and was able to snag a bar seat at the counter since it can get pretty packed with it being such a small space. The coffee was excellent and free refills and self serve. I went for the apple fritter which i think was as big as my head, as the wonderful woman at the counter suggested it. This pastry was the absolute best apple fritter i have ever had. I don't expect something so large and from a vietnamese bakery to be so amazing since i don't correlate apple fritters with Vietnamese food. But i will from now on!!! Perfect crispy glazed exterior and when I say a pillowy inside i mean it was the most softest bread i've ever had. I could only eat part of it and then i took the rest home and air fried it to heat it up and it was just as good if not better!!! I would also love to give a shout out to the hospitality and service. The wonderful woman working the front is extremely well organized and so sweet to everyone. The folks working in the back even come out to greet you when they get a chance! I loved how cozy and quaint it was and will definitely come back for some classic Vietnamese dishes the next time i am in the area! A must try!!

My personal favorite is the apple fritter, it seriously never EVER disappoints. If you're on the hungrier side you have to try their omelets or Bun Tuoi.

And the goodies were served on a medley of precious flowered mismatch plates!

As I mentioned, I came here for a shake. I got a large peanut butter shake, with vanilla ice cream. It is made with real milk, and real ice cream, and blended right in front of you. The only downside, is that it was a little thin. But, the flavors were there. And the large size is perfect for the price point. I stated I came here just for a shake. Well, they also have donuts. Although it was the afternoon, I took 2. A Boston Cream donut and a sugar chocolate cake donut. I at these during my drive back to Boston. The sugar chocolate was pretty good. Still somewhat fresh. And it is what you would expect from a cake donut. The sugar added a nice touch. The Boston Cream was fresh as well. But, the filling's flavor was off. You could taste the standard cream filling, but something just didn't taste right. Oh well, I devoured it. Now, were they homemade? I have no idea. Both owners were assisting and seemed to be very nice. Im thinking this is another local favorite, as the owner knew a lot of customers that came in.

What makes their donuts unique is, they're made with POTATOES. That's pretty cool. I'm not sure exactly how they do it, but you can definitely taste the difference from regular donuts. I personally found these donuts to taste just okay. I wasn't a big fan of the texture & the rather dense consistency. What I did like about the Holy Donut is how they have a nice variety of different "flavored" donuts BUT I would say, if you're looking for a flavorful donut, this wouldn't be the place to go.

The crust on both was perfectly flaky, buttery, and absolutely delicious. The strawberry rhubarb struck that just right balance of sweetness with a bright citrusy lift, and the apple was the kind of all-American comfort you dream about for a fall wedding. We picked the pies up in person, and Apple Shed was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Planning from Arizona could have been tricky, but they were so accommodating and incredibly helpful, making the whole process seamless from afar. Truly outstanding pies and equally outstanding people. Highly recommend!
