Elaine’s Basket Cafe & Bakery

I had breakfast at Elaine’s a couple weeks ago and it was excellent. The food and the service were very good. I ordered a donut with my breakfast and it was the best chocolate glazed donut I’ve had in many years, even better than anything from Dunkin Donuts (who have gone way down in quality) or even Krispy Kreme. If you’re ever in that area, stop in for breakfast, you will not regret it.

I ran into Elaine while out walking in the woods near Milo. She said we HAD to stop by her café in town on our way out and pick up some doughnuts. So we did. GREAT doughnuts. I’ve been there twice now, just for the doughnuts. The rest of the food on the menu is reasonably priced, and while I haven’t stayed to eat, I’m sure it’s also great :)
Elaine offers many different flavors of doughnuts, from the standard fare to more interesting ones such as blueberry. My favorite is what she calls the «Maine doughnut» it’s infused with rum and EXTREMELY good. The doughnuts are always fresh– last time I was in there I ordered the crunch doughnut (highly recommended) and she put the crunch topping on right then so it wasn’t soggy and hadn’t been sitting around. Nice and fresh.
Next time you’re in Milo, Elaine’s is a must.
