Old Time Donuts — Restaurant in Damariscotta

Obviously had to try the molasses donut—great flavor.

Old Time Donuts is the kind of spot that locals don’t want you to find out about—which usually means it’s worth checking out. I almost skipped it, but after talking to a few people in the area, I turned around and made the stop. Glad I did.

Obviously had to try the molasses donut—great flavor, soft texture with just enough density, and that warm molasses taste that’s hard to find anywhere else. Highly recommend.

The baker/owner is a genuinely sweet person. You can tell this place is a labor of love. It’s not flashy or trying to go viral—it’s just good, honest donuts made with care.

And here’s the nice surprise: the prices are actually very reasonable. After seeing so many places charging $4–$5 for a single donut (looking at you, Holy Donut), this felt refreshingly down-to-earth. You can grab a few without feeling like you’re splurging.

If you’re in the area and want a solid donut that leans classic and flavorful without being overhyped or overpriced, make the stop. The molasses one alone makes it worth it. I’ll definitely be back the next...

You've never eaten such donuts they have made me addicted. They have quite an assortment of both filled plain chocolate coconut you name it they have it but you better get there early because...

OMG, the very best cake donut ever! I'm a huge fan of yeast donuts. In fact one of the reasons I moved to Indianapolis was because of Long's Doughnuts. I had the Butter Crunch donut, and the texture was perfect, the sweetness was perfect, the moistness was other worldly! I'm sorry I don't live closer and in fact I'm moving out of the area. I will be forever comparing other cake donuts to this...
