Donuts! We love ’em! From colorful frosted ones to sprinkle ones to the kind that are braided into a crueller. There’s nothing like a sugary, flaky, delicious donut. The only thing better than a delicious donut is a homemade Maine donut and today we’re telling you about one of our favorite spots to find them.
The Cookie Jar bakery has been a Cape Elizabeth institution since the 1950s.

The vintage-feel and the homey vibes make it one of the best places to fuel up for a sugary morning in Maine.

While it’s changed hands a few times over the years, it’s been owned and run by the Piscopo Family since 1972.

The delicious cake-style donuts have been made using the same recipe for decades.

It’s not uncommon for people to come back after moving away only to declare that the place is exactly the same - down the smell of the donuts baking!

It’s welcoming and bright, just like it alway’s been.

They come in a variety of flavors - ranging from the simple glazed version.

Another great spot? This one in Kennebunk has been around since 1945. And it’s still just as good as it was on the day they opened!
