Delicious, fresh donuts! A little pricey but definitely worth it! Pumpkin cannoli was phenomenal! Always make a trip here when coming to Portland.

If I could give a lower rating I Would. Those were the worst doughnuts I ever had...thick, cold, dry and hard as hell. Spit it out instantly!! Wasted money and time; I want a refund!!! We went straight to Scarborough Grounds...hot food, good smells and great atmosphere!!!

Ever found yourself wanting a half pound cake donut? This is your place then! These are the most dense and chewy (not in a good way) donuts I've ever had. For those that have had dunkin donuts. Imagine if they took 2 of their donuts and compressed them into 1 smaller donut. That would be how to describe these. Yes they are different, yes the flavor is decent, but I would never crave these. Sorry Maine, I dont mean to offend but I fail to see why anybody would crave these almost $5 donuts when they leave the state.

First time visiting maine and heard this donut is good so we tried it. We came in the afternoon and the front was empty so I asked the guy if there is anything. He sold us some dried out leftovers and charged about $20 for four dry donuts. I felt like I was robbed. They should be ashamed. This was a very bad experience.

Love the gluten free!

I’m not sure I understand the hype about these donuts. We tried the Key Lime Pie, Chocolate Sea Salt, Vanilla with Sprinkles, and Coconut. Unfortunately, they were a bit dry and dense for our taste, so they just weren’t our favorite.

We stopped at Brimfield Farm Winery in New York and a staff member suggested we stop at Holy Donut, and it did not disappoint! We had the gluten free Blueberry Lemon and Berry Cannoli. They were amazing! Well worth the drive from Michigan.

I have always loved holy donut. I stopped into this location yesterday & was disappointed. I understand the all gender multiple stall restrooms, but they are not clean. I’m not sure if people are skipping over the part of actually cleaning the top of the toilet bowl? Bathrooms say a lot about a business.
Then I go to the register & forgot my card at home. My bank told me how to get my card number to manually enter in my card number. I was not able to do that. The guy told the girl “have to physically have it” how many ways can you pay with your phone now?

Just okay! Their donuts as others have mentioned do not have exclusive fryers, which I appreciate their upfront statement of that online. I’m generally not a plant-based person who worries about fryer contamination. I had the lemon and cherry flavors note cherry was not listed in the vegan ingredients category online, but was marked with a ‘v’ on their board and was verbally confirmed to be made with vegan ingredients. I prefer yeast donuts (like Knead donuts in Providence, Union Square Donuts in Boston, and others) to these potato donuts that end up tasting somewhere between yeast and old fashioned.
