What clients say about Abbot Village Bakery & Cafe in Abbot Township (ME)
Donuts weren’t too bad me and my wife came back not to long ago from this place and my wife came to me that she ate a piece of hair that was baked in the donut and made her very sick so definitely and at some point it made me throw up do recommend hairnets if something like this happens again so no one gets sick.
Stopped here for the first time (10/4/25) on the way to hiking in Greenville. Very delicious breakfast sandwiches and bakery goods. Yum! Hit the spot. There are restrooms here. Conveniently located on the main road. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend this place. Definitely returning here to bring them more business.
First customer on a Thursday morning. Everything was ready to go. Great selection of fantastic donuts, pastries, and other baked goods. Friendly service! Great prices!
Highly recommend!
Its a bit off the beaten path but its a cute bakery. Lots of baked good treats. We had some donuts and they were pretty good. The service was quick and friendly. Im not sure Id rush to go back, but if you're looking for a place to drive and check out, why not swing by and get some treats.
The last few reviews are pretty negative but we had a good experience. We had a glazed donut, a coconut donut, and some blueberry muffins.
The donuts were more light and fluffy than dense, though they had some old fashioned donuts. We all liked them. The muffins were standout, very tasty with ample blueberries. The sanding sugar on top was a nice touch.
Plus, a cup of coffee was only $1.
Heard about this place many times on YouTube from customers making videos about trail riding in Maine during all 4 seasons. Easily accessible by ATV or snowmobile. The place lives up to its hype!
Been stopping here for years on our way to Moosehead. This will be our last though. Each time , I try a different item and it never tastes as good as it should. The owners may not want to hear it, but their old recipes as mentioned in another review, are old. It’s not always a good thing. They are bland and in drastic need of updating.
The worst thing about this place is that the owners are on site, openly able to see the counter and waiting area from two spots they work in AND STILL I never once have seen them acknowledge anyone. I personally have made eye contact With her multiple times and did the polite smile acknowledgement and gotten nothing but a grumpy face back.
It’s funny though, she’s awful quick to be defensive when called out on social media or in reviews for truly bland food and the truth.
To reference another review- you don’t need time to post fake reviews. All you need is multiple Gmail accounts that you simply change the display name to. It’s easy and takes seconds. She claims no time, but is on Facebook constantly. They have time. That’s why most the 5star have no text/ context. The internet is smarter than they think.
But anyways.
Bland food
Non pleasant , non personable atmosphere.
And if you filter the reviews, the truth flows.
I have to agree with the other REAL reviews. Unfortunately the place is over hyped. What they have going for them: Social media presence, longevity, display, appearance.
What sorely lacks: flavor, taste, sweetness, culinary ability.
Does everything look phenomenal? Yes.
But not everything tastes great. Over the years I’ve had almost everything they make. And , nope. Solid 4/10. Donuts are raised, soft, beautiful , yes. But they lack so much flavor. The owners work hard. They deal with staff issues, shortages etc. BUT THEY MANAGE. SO. It’s time to readjust these old school recipes. A molasses cookie should have warm spices. Raspberry filling should have acid. It’s flat without it. Chocolate donuts should taste like chocolate. It wouldn’t hurt to toss blueberries in sugar and flour. I mean …. Basically the place is like a hot chick, looks good but is all image. There’s nothing else.
Why does this place have good reviews, because it’s the only place that’s local? Had a very disappointing wrap with TWO slices of turkey and mostly lettuce. The pastries are mid, almost flavorless.
Has a family owned and operated feel - where the employees and customers are all welcomed as family. The line looks long when you walk in but they move you through efficiently with smiles and friendlness.
And the pastries! Good old fashioned deliciousness. Just like Memere or Nona would make for you.
I was excited to get an apple turnover but when i bit into it i was automatically turned off. It was filled with cream. i've never had one with cream in it a day in my life. I was suprised at the amount of people there but i don't get the hype maybe i missed something. if i could get my money back i would.
This bakery is an annual stop on our trips to Moosehead Lake. It's always been pretty good in the past but this stop proved unsatisfactory at best. Ordered 3 donuts and a blueberry muffin to go. All 3 donuts were very stale and only the muffin was soft and fresh.
I've tried 3 different thing here and was underwhelmed. To be clear the people were polite and the service was well and good.
Now admittedly I don't have much of a sweet tooth but I've been able to enjoy other bakeries just fine. It feels like their philosophy is "throw more sugar at it".
Lemon bars. Tasted like sugar with a hint of lemon with sugar on top. Zero tartness.
Blueberry muffin. Had fewer than 10 blueberries in it and was devoid of blueberry tast.
Blueberry cream cheese croissant. Probably the most sugary croissant I've had in my life with an anemic blueberry cream cheese filling.
If your a sugar addict with desensitized tast buds this place is probably for you. Otherwise there comes a point to much sugar actually starts to tast bitter.
I have a theory they have substituted real ingredients like fruits for more sugar as a form of cost cutting.
On a side note, I have not tried their pre-made meals yet.
Sorry to be a debbie downer. Just my honest opinion.
I go to Maine every year and one of my very first stops is to go to the Abbott Village bakery. Their donut and pastry selection is unbelievable. We had White meat, chicken pie, raspberry pie, Whoopie, pies, incredible, coconut, donuts, date bars, And so much more I can’t list them all. They have breakfast sandwiches, ready to go as well as great coffee! I usually place a big order to go and call it in the day before so everything is ready and fresh. Great place to go!
Stopped in for some donuts and they were worth it. Fresh large donuts. I got traditional glazed, it was soft and perfect. My husband got an apple filled and said it was amazing. We also got a caramel bun for the ride to try later, it looks awesome too.
For a small town, this bakery did not disappoint. It is well known in the area and delivered on what many others have told me regarding delicious baked goods. Even their breakfast sandwiches were tasty. I definitely will be back.
Amazing Bakery! We were on our way to Greenville Fly In...very busy place! Lots of yummy freshly made baked ???? goods. As busy as it was, the long line moved quickly and smoothly. The staff were Very Pleasant, Patient , and professional!! Thank you for great customer service ?
Coffee is self service, which helps keep lines moving. Best Wishes
Have driven by this place for years and finally stopped. Donuts were excellent, fresh blueberries were perfect, pies looked delicious! Coffee, sandwiches, donuts, eclairs, and other homemade baked goods are enough to make you want to buy out the place! They have ice cream too!
This has been a must-stop on drives to Greenville since high school. 20 years later it still is! Lemon squares, raspberry Bismarck like puff pastries, and a Boston Kreme donut.
Amazing food. Great prices. Cashiers very nice. Great access to ATV trail also if you're looking to get out and about. Ice cream. Sandwiches. And of course your choice of pastries and donuts.
