Maine donuts are the BEST donuts!

At these Maine shops, you will find potato donuts with a soft, hearty bite, plus seasonal flavors that make the display case dangerously convincing.

Old Time Donuts has a BIG ❤️ and our community appreciates you! 🍩 🍩 🍩

We often get asked what do you do with the leftover donuts? The real answer is several things.
We do put some out the next day at a discount price. But we donate a lot. The picture you see here is what we are sending to one of my favorite causes. Medomak high school has a food pantry for their students. When I found out about the food insecurity with in the school systems and homelessness I felt I had to do something. So while school is in session I try to send over donuts as often as I can.
If everyone does something small to improve the community then big chances will happen.
