Overrated donuts - Edit
I went at 8am and the donuts didn’t seem that fresh. Very dense and overly sweet for my taste. Lots of variety. The coffee was definitely from the day before as well, but the hash browns were yummy!

"Dough not" miss it! - Edit
Not a huge donut fan to begin with but saw they had vegan options and the whole made from potato thing was intriguing. Got a vanilla with sprinkles and maple. Soooo good that you'll wonder if they gave you the vegan version! Highly recommend the maple as it has such an authentic maple taste🤤

So good. Vegan and nut free! - Edit
This place is amazing. I was overwhelmed with how many vegan options there were. And my bf who has a peanut/tree nut allergy could also eat the vegan donuts. That almost never happens!!! Win/win!!!

Fun flavors - Edit
I’ve been told the sweet potato donut is wonderful. It, unfortunately, wasn’t available while I was in town.
Read moreInstead, I went for the lemon donut and the pomegranate donut - both of which were quite good and hit the spot, so to speak. I ordered it in advance for pick-up. Even on a rainy March morning, it was kind of a hot spot for locals and tourists alike (just a constant flow of people but not a long line).

Good solid donut - Edit
Had to stop in for a Maine potato donut while in Portland! There were a handful of vegan flavors on offer the day we were there. I tried the Chai, and it was very good. As others have stated, there was a line but it moved quickly. Great place to grab a sweet treat and a coffee to take on a stroll along the waterfront.

SEVEN (7) Vegan Donut Flavors - Edit
Line was out the door; I'm pretty sure I was the only Vegan there. Was pleasantly surprised to find they had SEVEN (7) Vegan donuts today - see photo of receipt for specifics - I tried one (for now): the Vegan Toasted Coconut - delicious! And made from potatoes- who knew? Washed it down with an iced apple cider. Hmmmmm....😋

Pretty good - Edit
Not really vegan as advertised because of the sugar. I emailed them twice before going and asked if it was bone char-free, but they didn’t respond. We asked upon arrival, but they couldn’t “guarantee” the sugar source. Anyway, on to the donuts…pretty good, but I don’t get what all the hype is about. Dense without being oily, and sweet but not sickly so. The vegan ones were just the plain old fashioned donut with 3 different and tasty toppings. Fortunately, we passed a beggar nearby who took our remains.
Read morePros: Long but fast line

Vegan potato donuts - Edit
Quite a few options in flavors. Donuts were yummy and fresh but we did have some that seemed to have sat in the oil for a bit too long.

Many vegan options - Edit
A lot of vegan donut options here. They are perfectly cooked, not too wet inside like many other vegan donuts. Perfect amount of frosting on the donuts and very flavorful. Pomegranate frosted is my favorite donut that I’ve had so far!

Be sure to visit - Edit
This place is a real destination in Portland, and they’ve earned it. Don’t go in expecting Dunkin’ Donuts - the signature product here is a moist cake donut made with Maine potatoes.
Read moreI really appreciate that they don’t have a “vegan tax” where our items cost more than the “regular” stuff.
Pros: Good vegan options, No “vegan tax”, Walkable area
Cons: Can be crowded

Wow! - Edit
Honestly I was skeptical of the potato factor, and my original first bites weren’t impressive, but as I kept eating the donuts got better and better! They had about 4-5 vegan options which is a lot for most stores. When I come back to Portland I’m coming back to Holy Donut!

Good vegan donuts - Edit
Purchased half a dozen vegan donuts on the way out of town for a road trip last week and was pleasantly surprised that they were still quite fresh and yummy two days later. This business has been around a while and I do find the limited vegan options get a little boring if you buy them too often; it would be nice if they came up with some new flavors, like who wouldn’t like some vegan chocolate or jelly donuts?!

Be prepared to wait in a line. They’re delicious and I appreciate the handful of vegan options. I will say they’re a bit dry, but they’re donuts and they’re vegan - I loved them.

First timer- AWESOME DOUGHNUTS!!! - Edit
Just popped in for a couple doughnuts... this time around. I got a coconut one and a lemon one. Coconut is my go-to flavor and lemon is a flavor I’m continuing to acquire a taste for and both of these doughnuts were so good. I will most certainly be back for all of the flavors on the rack, and some coffee.
