Consider this my PSA for the week… Friday is doughnut day at The Village Ice Cream & Port Clyde Bakery! There are 4 types of cake doughnuts and they are all delicious! Trust me, we’ve tried them all. 🙂
- Chocolate
- Molasses
- Plain
- Cinnamon {my favorite}
The bakery is in downtown Port Clyde, Maine and they’ve got hot coffee and tea as well. There is even a little library across the street where you can browse the small collection of books while you wait for your doughnuts to be fried.
New Englanders LOVE their cake doughnuts. Seriously, it’s a “thing” here. The cake doughnut outsells all the other doughnuts and I still haven’t figured out why but hey, who am I to question?
A chocolate cake doughnut and a cup of tea. It’s the perfect way to start a Friday if you ask me.
There are loads of picnic tables behind the Port Clyde General Store where you can sit down and enjoy your breakfast.
Even better yet, if you’re local and have a boat you can tie up at the dinghy dock and then walk up to the bakery to get your doughnuts and make a morning of it. Friday hours are 9am – 1pm so you don’t have to get up at the crack of dawn to get your fix.
On Saturdays and Sundays they are open for PIE and ICE CREAM from 2-8pm.
I’ll report back on the pie and ice cream offerings just as soon as I’ve given them a whirl.
Maine. The way life should be. 🙂
Have a wonderful weekend, enjoy the sunshine!

The donuts look yummy. Visiting my brother’s family in Thomaston this week. We walked Clarks Island this morning & had bkfst at Owl’s Head General Store. Always miss this midcoast area when I’m gone.

I also don’t get the cake donut thing. I mean if it’s my only option, sign me up … but otherwise I want the glazed donut or the old fashion

I love the cake chocolate donuts in Maine. Dunkin Donuts has a choc. cake donut and it’s good, but NOT the same. My second choice is sour cream. Oh, yum!

Cake doughnuts are my absolute favorite! I’ve never been to Maine but maybe I should, because cake doughnuts!
By the way, I received my bee dish towels in the mail this week. Thank you for the delightful packaging and the tea bag gift. We are tea drinkers so it will be put to good use. Thanks again!

So envious here! Southerners are definitely yeast donut eaters. I got excited when Lidl came to town and they had cake donuts. Well, that only lasted about 6 months. Now they only sell yeast donuts. There are a few bakeries that sell them but they aren’t anything to write home about. I guess I need to learn how to make them.
