Artisanal donuts made with local potatoes, unique flavors
"The hand cut, potato based donuts from The Holy Donut are truly holy and an experience not to be missed. The delicious donuts rotate flavors ranging from Allen's Coffee Brandy (a Maine staple) to dark chocolate with sea salt, and they sell out fast! The Holy Donut recommends visiting before noon for the best flavor selection and to ensure you will get a taste of the savory treat." - Mainelyseo
"The Holy Donut popularized the potato doughnut, and the world is better for it. Today, the Holy Donut exists on Park Avenue in Portland, as well as in Scarborough and on Commercial Street in Old Port, and Arundel to the south and Brunswick to the north of the city. The menu spans from traditional glazed and cake doughnuts to maple-bacon and ginger varieties and offers vegan and gluten-free options." - Erika Adams
"This modern Portland landmark opens at 6:30 a.m. A Maine potato doughnut (the dark chocolate sea salt is world class) and a cup of Wicked Joe coffee can make an early departure much more bearable. There are even gluten-free options." - Kate McCarty
"A tourist-friendly shop famous for light, airy potato-based doughnuts; perfect for a quick treat while strolling Old Port — the dark chocolate with sea salt is a standout." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"A relatively newer shop known for making its signature donuts from mashed potatoes, celebrated on a travel show as a distinctive local treat worth seeking out when visiting the area." - Greg Morabito
