    I was only here extremely briefly to grab the Cherry donut that I saw was this month's special. and then I had to run to get somewhere ten minutes away in 3 minutes time! Oopsie! But I will say, line moves quick. Cashier was smiling and eager to serve, my cherry donut was still in stock, payment went through without issue (yay Apple Pay tap!) Thank you! The cherry donut was really good...BUT!!! I'd suggest to put some cherry juice and chopped cherries inside the donut, not just in the glaze. I think this would send this already delish treat right out into orbit to be the BEST donut in the galaxy.

    Today's donut selection!

    What a great donut location! We usually go to the one in downtown Portland, but on this day we just happened to be driving by this one so we decided to stop by. We were there near closing time, so just about everything was packed up inside the store, but they were still serving donuts. The staff were friendly and helpful to make sure we got all the donuts we needed!!! :D If you got time, walk to the bathroom and read the story on the wall. This company has a great one and you'll be glad you stopped by to read all about it!

    Super easy online ordering. got a mix of regular and gluten free and they were all delicious. My favorite was the coconut and lemon blueberry.

    First time having a potato donut. I am sold! Good flavor and nice sized serving. Friendly staff and comfortable seating area. The latte was awesome as well! Great way to start Father's Day!

    Vanilla glazed

    Super friendly service, delicious latte and of course, the donuts! My husband and I were visiting Maine and read about these interesting sounding potato donuts, so we had to check them out. We went two separate days: first day we tried the Apple Cider and Blueberry glazed donuts, second day we got a Vanilla glazed and a Toasted Coconut (my favorite). All were moist, appropriately sweet with a nice crunch on the outside. The coffee at our hotel seemed to lack caffeine, so I threw in a latte with 2% milk each day as well. Perfect (although maybe not the healthiest ) breakfast!

    Time to renew my review (last reviewed on 2/25/2012)…read more We continue to be thrilled with the quality and variety of donuts. Our favorites continue to the glazed twists, maple (any variety/frosted or unfrosted), blueberry(any variety/frosted or unfrosted), and of course the kids love the chocolate donut with chocolate frosting with rainbow or chocolate sprinkles. Service is quick and friendly. What's even better, they now have online ordering for pick up!! Now, if they run out of a donut or it's not available - they will substitute the closest possible. So if you are concerned about the substitute, you should order in person....with that there's even a greater risk no donuts will be available...I would rather order via that app, as I know I will get something! Parking can be annoying, especially if you don't like parallel parking or walking. But we don't mind at all for these delicious donuts! Place can get crowded. There are a few tables available to sit inside and sometimes a couple of chairs on the sidewalk. It's always neat and clean inside. I highly recommend!!!

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.

I walked in thinking I'd order something simple, but Jocelyn somehow anticipated exactly what I wanted before I even said it -- an oatmeal latte with honey infused right into the espresso. It was warm, silky, lightly sweet, and honestly one of the most thoughtful, dialed‑in drinks I've had anywhere. You can tell when someone really knows their craft, and she absolutely does. We also grabbed the curried chicken sandwich, which was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect balance of creamy and bright. It's the kind of sandwich that makes you pause mid‑bite and go, "Wait... this is really good." The whole place has that cozy‑local‑favorite energy -- friendly staff, great food, and the kind of coffee that makes you want to reroute your trip just to come back again. If you're driving through Freeport, Camden, or anywhere along the coast, Wild Oats is 100% worth the detour.

Take out to our boat. pad Thai, Fried Rice, Spring Rolls, and steam dumplings. Dumplings good, everything else exceptional. And we got the biggest yeasty cinnamon bun I've ever seen. Words cannot describe how decadent this was. OMG!!!! I've been coming to Boothbay for 30 years and never knew this place was there. If someone had not sent me would have thought just a bakery. It is that too. I have seen some negative reviews on service. Not fair. There is no table service. You stand at the counter till they have time to take your order. If you are eating there, they will deliver to your table. There is beautiful outside seating. And English is not their first language so patience may be required. And they are from a different culture and it to some that may translate as rude. That has not been my experience nor those lined up for their food or bakery products. A constant stream of takeout. If you like Asian food, funky place, this is it. One more thing. The order we had at most any other Asian restaurant in the area would have been double the cost. 2 entrees large portions, 2 apps and a desert for under$50 bucks!!!

I am not a doughnut person at all, but I always make an exception for apple fritters. So we bought one, and I want to emphasize the word "one" because it was sooooooo huge that it would've just been too much to have gotten more. It was enough for 3 to share, frankly. It was really large. The apple fritter was good, but I have to say, it wasn't my favorite. I've been spoiled by a place near our home (3,000 miles away) where the addition of a noticeable amount of cinnamon with huge apple chunks always steals my heart. Here, at least in the fritter we got, I didn't taste any cinnamon, and honestly, I couldn't taste any apple pieces either. Not sure what was going on. It still tasted good, but I felt like it wasn't well represented for what they claimed it to be. Again, it wasn't bad... it just wasn't great, either.

The interior of the donut shop is stylish and welcoming, and I saw a few bar seats if you want to stay to eat. There were plenty of flavors; we ended up trying the Portland Fog (i.e. lavender + earl grey), maple cruller, and chocolate & sea salt cruller. Service at the counter was quick. The donuts were all tasty! I actually liked the Portland Fog donut texture better than the crullers, which were nice and airy but a bit soggy/limp for me. 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!
