Great donut place with ample parking and friendly staff. Visited several times. My favorites were the eclair and cream horn.

Super disappointed. Made a special trip out based on some reviews and the donuts looked great when I walked in.
Got a glazed yeast donut and a glazed blueberry. Both were stale - I've had day old donuts that were fresher than these were. I tried them in my car sitting in the parking lot so they were straight from the store.
There was also a bad taste like the oil had gone too long without being changed or cleaned. Tasted funny and then left a really bad taste in my mouth.

Found Tony's over 20 yrs ago on one of our many trips to Maine. Great donuts. Love the bumper sticker. Now a Mainer going on 15 yrs

Donuts were so dry i really couldnt believe it. Never had something for just trash. For 20 bucks for a dozen you better go somewhere else.

First time stopping in to Tony's Donuts, and we thouroughly enjoyed! Tried the maple glazed and chocolate glazed, they were delicious, fluffy, straight-forward donuts. Not over-priced either. The fellow behind the counter was very friendly. There were tables and chairs, but we didn't stay to eat. The parking lot is small, not sure what it's like in the mornings, but no trouble finding parking at 3pm!

Our favorite donut shop never lets us down. When we venture into town, we often pick up a 1/2 dozen donuts and some eclairs for a treat. They bake the old fashioned donuts we had as kids and not the greasy lead sinkers that you often get at the chains. Unlike the latter's donuts they do not revisit you a few hours later.
Whenever our family 'From Away' comes back to visit, the first stop, after the baggage claim at the airport, is Tony's which is conveniently nearby. The grandchildren love to stand at the counter display and pick out their favorite donuts and pastries. It is the proverbial 'kid in the candy shop' scene. Usually a few donuts never make it back to the car.
The counter clerks are very patient as you pick out one of these and two of those and ask for granulated sugar on some and powdered sugar on others.
If you have never had them, give them a visit, but beware: you won't be satisfied with 'chain' donuts anymore. By the way: the donuts with the holes in the middle have had all the calories removed, so eat away and enjoy.

First time to Tony's and it didn't disappoint. There was a decent selection and everything looked good. Pictured is an apple fritter. It was huge, about 7 inches in diameter. It was also filled with apple. The blueberry donut was filled with blueberries. Donuts are pretty pricey compared to Dunkin, but the quality is way better.
