Twenty years and countless doughnuts later, I have NEVER been dissatisfied with Congdons. I travel from Connecticut a few times a year to stay in the area and always make sure to stop at Congdons. I used to just get their doughnuts but in the past 5 years I've branched out to try their breakfasts and they're great too! The... more

Congdon's is a yummy breakfast treat for fabulous donuts. During the summer, be prepared to stand in line, but the owner passes out samples while you wait--or take the drive-through option. The fritters are fabulous--try the fresh blueberry fritter or the chocolate chocolate---mmmmm. For my taste, the cake donuts were not as great. Be sure to specify "raised glazed" instead... more

I have been going here for years now. You cant beat the doughnuts. The best I have ever had. Skip the Dunkin Doughnuts along the way and go here. You wont be sorry. Love the apple fritters. more

As a child we vacationed in Wells and I still remember the Silver Dollar pancakes that I so looked forward to! Over the years my family has continued to frequent this wonderful little beach community. And yes, in the summer the traffic is horrible! Deal with it! That is all you can do if you still want to enjoy the... more

Great doughnuts, have been for years and years and... However, we stopped in on our way out Saturday morning and it was mobbed. They needed a person to direct traffic it was so bad. You couldn't get in or out, traffic was backed up in the middle lane to turn in and you couldn't get around the lot to even... more

The doughnuts and coffee are wonderful. I used to think Dunkin' Donuts had the best coffee but Congdon's has the best coffee. There doughnuts are fresh and fantastic. The Bavarian Creme is my favorite. If you go for breakfast, I would rate that average to below average. You can walk in or go through the drive-thru for donuts, or you... more

We live in Upstate New York, and vacation in Wells, Maine each summer. Congdon's has been there for many decades, and its easy to see why! The food is always fresh, and the staff is usually friendly and efficient (many of them are young adults that return each summer to work here under the tutoring of the year round waitresses).... more

My donut tasted like french fries..so I tried one of the others..that tasted like fried potatoes as well. My guess would be that they do not have a seperate fryer for just donuts..if that is so, they should consider it! more
