This Maine Donut Shop Was Named One of the Best in the U.S.

Have you had Maine's "must try" donut?

National Donut Day, is tomorrow, Wednesday, November 5th!

It is one of two observed by donut lovers across the nation. It's the day donuts steal the bakery case spotlight, ready to tease their way into white bakery box and go home!

Maine has so many places to get great donuts, including traditional bakeries and innovative shops, all across the state.

You can get them at the usual places like Dunkin, or Tim Horton, but when they are Maine made, it just hits a little different.

Lovefood is a popular online food platform that provides recipes, cooking guides, food news, restaurant reviews, and meal planning.

They also make lists, which we love, so when it came down to choosing the best donut in each state, we just HAD to know what their choice for Maine was.

The Holy Donut is a family-owned donut shop in Portland, Maine, that serves gourmet donuts made with Maine potato flour. The mother, sister, and youngest members of the family are all involved in the business.

They are known for large, dense, "cake" style donuts, using all-natural ingredients, including cage-free eggs, unbleached wheat flour, real potato, and real buttermilk.

When they first opened in Portland, back in 2012, The Holy Donut became an instant hit, making people from other parts of the state extremely jealous, but now, you can enjoy this tasty treat right here in the Greater Bangor area.

Tiller & Rye, located at 20 South Main Street in Brewer, is a Maine natural grocery store featuring fresh produce, grass fed meats, cheeses, dietary alternatives, bulk spices and grains, fresh baked breads, craft beers and organic wines, and now, The Holy Donut!

Stop in and grab a dark chocolate sea salt, fresh lemon, sweet potato coffee cake, or pomegranate donut to start the day, and find out for yourself, why they are one of the best in the United States.
