National Doughnut Day: Bakeries to Get a Dozen in Augusta
Our real estate agents know that there are plenty of great reasons to choose Augusta homes for sale. A terrific local dining culture is one of them – and that includes breakfast!
Some hail it as the most important meal of the day, and you won't have to go without it. Augusta is rich with coffee shops and bakeries perfect for getting a morning meal and a caffeine fix.
With National Doughnut Day just around the corner, it's the right time to check them out.
National Doughnut Day is June 5 – a Friday this year. If a sweet treat sounds like it would hit the spot, you're in luck. Even though table service isn't available right now, lots of local restaurants are open for curbside takeout or delivery. Warm, tasty doughnuts await.
Sure, nationwide chains often offer something on National Doughnut Day, too. But for a true taste of Augusta, we recommend these four bakeries.
- Slate's Restaurant – 161 Water Street, Hallowell, ME, 04347
