If you want to skip all the donut lines and have some samples to maximize what you try (and there was certainly a line when we got to Holy Donuts), sign up for a Portland donut tour. You'll have to try it for yourself and let us know what you think! But I thought it was great and, even as I sit here writing this, I would love another one. ![]() Granted, Dan didn't think it was as amazing as I did, and he definitely liked my donut flavor more than his. I got the Maine Blueberry, which was a blueberry donut with a blueberry glaze. There were four blueberry varieties, alone! They have a lot of flavors, including chocolate, vanilla, margarita (which may have been seasonal for summer), coconut, and more. You would have to drive to Holy Donuts from Portland to get to the shop if you're staying near the Old Port (where most tourists stay) because it's a solid mile away (unless you were game for a morning walk) but it's worth it. And it was so good! I couldn't believe how much I liked them. We went to the famous shop, Holy Donuts, in Portland to try this sweet food Maine is known for. Donuts in Maine are made with a potato base, not a cake base. ![]() We're talking about local mom-and-pop donut shops.

I thought, “That's interesting they would start with such a common food.”īut as soon as we tasted it we were once again blown away by the taste the Maine blueberries gave the pastry. And the first food of the tour was a blueberry muffin. (We found it to be less sweet than the commercial blueberries in large chain grocery stores but we know they can range from tangy to sweet in Maine.)ĭan and I took a food tour while we were in Portland, Maine, with Maine Foodie Tours.

We loved the blueberries in Maine and I couldn't get enough of them. Our next taste of blueberry pancakes was during our stay at Atlantean Cottage Bed & Breakfast in Bar Harbor, and they blew us away then too. The first morning we were onboard the chef made scrumptious blueberry pancakes. Our first glimpse into their delicious blueberries was aboard our Maine Windjammer Cruise, on American Eagle. The actual size of the blueberries in Maine is petite and smaller than the usual blueberries you'd get in your grocery store. We're certainly not referring to their size, because they're small. We had no idea blueberries were such a big thing in Maine until we visited! And by “big thing,” we mean they're everywhere. (Steamed lobster and lobster rolls.) But do you know the other foods that this gorgeous state is known for? We spill the beans after visiting and eating our way through the state as we road-tripped along the coast!
