I LOVE Frannies! Their donuts are amazing, coffee is amazing, croissants are amazing, and the atmosphere is amazing!

Thrilled with the service we received! I reached out to see if they had any egg free items for my allergic niece. They quickly responded with an offer to set aside a chocolate croissant and skip the egg wash. This wasn’t a few days ahead either, it was late the night before. Everything we got was delicious and fresh. The staff in the store were great too! Can’t wait to go back to try more items!

This place is the absolute best! The owner and his daughters are wonderful. The food is amazing and all made fresh there and baked the talent is incredible it's a must-go and must taste. The honey latte coffee I had was phenomenal The atmosphere is great and relaxing. It's a great place to go.

Absolutely LOVE Frannie’s. We go every Sunday! 🍩 I can’t recommend them enough. Kindest staff, amazing food & relaxing/ fun environment. If you have been on the fence about visiting, this is your sign to DO IT & get a bagel while you’re at it. 🥯

We order ahead and pick up, works for us. Makes a great item to bring to a family gathering, brunch or any time! Never disappoints, always fresh and delicious, also designs are beautiful, never have enough😘. Try them if you haven't, you'll return again and again😋

When ordering Frannie's donuts online I wasn't sure which assortment to pick. I put in the memo for my daughters Candyland themed birthday you pick! My mom grabbed the donuts so it wasn't until they got there that I saw how absolutely incredible they were. Frannie's went above and beyond to create a candy themed donut! Thank you again! They were Amazing

The girls there are so sweet! The online ordering system failed to show that we had ordered sandwiches along with our donuts. They went above and beyond to make it right for us! (We used to work in food service and retail and we totally get that sometimes technology is not your friend). Not only were the sandwiches delicious as were the donuts, we really loved the vibe too. This place came highly recommended so we look forward to supporting them when they come back from winter break.

We ordered doughnuts for a birthday party and then picked up a few extras when we arrived.
All the flavors were delicious, service was prompt and everyone was really kind.
We will definitely be returning!

LOVE LOVE LOVE Frannie's! I've been coming here since they opened a few years ago. The best donut, hands down, is the maple creme. I also love how they have local authors' books. Their design is attractive, cheerful, and just all-around inviting. I hope they stay for a long, long time!
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 $3 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.

The family that works here is super friendly, and they seem genuinely happy to serve you vs walking into a dunkins. I found their prices to be extremely fair. Iced latte was good and donuts were good (apple pie was the best). The sandwich was also "good" but I went out of my comfort zone trying a biscuit sandwich and much prefer an English muffin or croissant. This is nothing to fault them for though, just personal preference.
I would love to have that biscuit with some sausage gravy though 😍

UPDATE: They got vegan cream cheese and it's super yummy! Thanks you guys!
ORIGINAL: 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.
Parking: street or out back. There's a walkway between the buildings to get to their main street entrance if you park out back.
Kid-friendliness: They have a little crayon/game section. And a pac man arcade-type game.
