Tucked into the main street in Franklin, only a few doors up from Vulgar Pizza, is a small shop…read morethat everyone in the area knows has really good donuts. A few things to know: The donuts are big. The picture of the glazed pumpkin shows a toothpick for scale; they're thicker than a 2x4 (but taste better). The hours are different than most places. They're only open Wednesday through Saturday, from 3 AM to 11 AM weekdays and 5 AM to 11:30 AM on Saturday. The flavors are variable, but that's exciting; I usually find something I've never had before. How's the flavor? The glazed pumpkin is VERY "pumpkin forward" and not too much glaze. The cake was a great texture, cooked through in spite of the size. It's a really wonderful donut, and will satisfy any appetite. The banana cream pie was new to me. I included the picture after a few bites to show the banana cream filling. In this picture the full size vanilla wafer can confirm the scale. The banana cream was really good and didn't have the artificial taste that so many have. The chocolate was just enough but I ate the cookie separately to avoid possibly squeezing out the cream. A nice combination. Check your timing if you're in the area, but definitely give this place a try.

They have a wide variety of specialty donuts. Super delicious! I think the flavors rotate pretty frequently, but when we went it was a lot of fall flavors like pumpkin, maple, and apple. There wasn't a donut not to like, these are really good. Also very reasonably priced at $21 for a dozen! They open early and sell out of flavors quickly. At 8:00 many trays were already empty, so get there early!

Limerick, was our pick and Dough Boys Donuts was on our list. When we walked in to my surprise a cute shop with the best customer service! I was on a mission for a lemon filled donut! I headed to pick out my donuts and they only had one lemon filled. I asked for that one and then eyed a chocolate coconut donut. I was very happy. As I was pouring my coffee I said I wished you had more lemon donuts. The baker in the back heard me and said I can make more. Really?! How many do you want? I have never had this kind of customer service ever! So while he was making our lemon donuts we sat by the lake and enjoyed our coffee and delicious donuts! As promised we went back in the shop and on the counter were my donuts all boxed and ready to go home. But wait I saw there were more lemon donuts in the case. Ahh....could we start another box? Lol We will definitely be back for more delicious donuts.

They are located off of 11 in limerick, Maine, right beside the boat launch for Sokokis Lake, across from Mill Pizza. It's a small cafe, that serves donuts and coffee. The prices are actually very good. I paid 5.95 for a half dozen homemade donuts. I got 2 maple frosted, an apple crunch, a chocolate crunch, a glazed, a cinnamon powdered sugar. The lady at the counter was very polite, efficient and kind. I'm sure she could tell I had recently been crying, after loosing my 14 year old dog. She was just so kind, and I won't forget it. The selection of donuts were out of this world, and I can wait to get some more ! They had a large selection, of which most were sold out, but she did say if there was any frosted ones I was interested in, she could throw it together real quick. That is very thoughtful and sweet. If you've never been to this place, go check them out, their homemade donuts are to die for !

Other than that, good experience.

They have long lines that move very quickly, lots of self-seating available indoors and outdoors, and a very cute patio area and some photo-ops. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We ordered a half dozen donuts to try: the maple glazed, chocolate glazed, strawberry frosted, chocolate creme filled, glazed, and a blueberry fritter. The fritter was the favorite of the group, followed by the maple (iconic Maine flavors!) We would definitely skip the chocolate and the strawberry frosted next time and opt to try some other fritter flavors.

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.

We showed up around 530 expecting they had been open for a bit and were ready for business. They weren't even close. On top of that the woman inside was clearly not happy to be there or to have disappointed potential customers. We left hungry and disappointed. If we hadn't promised everyone we are vacationing with donuts we would have just gone home and made breakfast. Instead my husband went back around 7 and they still weren't fully ready with all the flavors but he still ordered. The donuts saved this review because the product really was worth it! The lemon cream donuts are to die for and my husband loved the chocolate butternut. The harshest critic in our group is my 13 year old cousin and he loved his chocolate donut! We will definitely be back but probably later in the morning!

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. One thing to note, there is no customer restroom at this location.
