Congdon’s Doughnuts
Located in the beautiful seaside town of Wells, Maine, Congdon’s Family Restaurant & Bakery has been serving up world famous doughnuts and delicious breakfast items since 1955. While much has changed since we opened our doors, the family, location, and flavors, are the same as they were when we opened our doors decades ago — and is the reason so many consider us “a must” for anyone traveling to or through southern Maine.

Whether you’re searching for a Maine resort for your family vacation or one of the best wedding venues in Maine, you’ll find it all at The Nonantum Resort. Overlooking the Kennebunk River within walking distance of Dock Square’s shops and restaurants and a half a mile from Colony Beach, the Nonantum is one of the most convenient and accessible family resorts in southern Maine.
