Congdon's Doughnuts Family Restaurant & Bakery

Congdon's is a family owned restaurant that specializes in freshly made doughnuts, pastries, and breakfast foods. We have been around since 1955. In 1945, Clint and Dot (Nana) Congdon, originally from Colebrook, NH, opened Congdon’s Restaurant on Main Street in Kennebunk. The restaurant was a thriving business, but the main reason people kept coming back was Nana’s homemade doughnuts. They later sold the restaurant, moving the doughnut equipment into a barn where they wholesaled doughnuts to area stores. In 1955, Nana, and her son-in-law Herb Brooks, built Congdon’s where it sits today. Fried seafood and grill items were added to the take-out menu, but the mainstay of the business was still the doughnuts. In 1962, the Pancake Room Restaurant was added to the property. In June of 1983, a fire blackened the interior of our building, forcing our crew to scramble in our efforts to open for the summer season. In 1984, the Pancake Room Restaurant and Congdon’s Doughnuts joined forces under one roof consolidating the best for both places for your dining pleasures. Having had additional doughnut outlets in Kennebunkport, Wells Beach, York Beach, and Ogunquit,our doughnuts have seen many homes. In 2002, Richard and Eleanora drive-through was added as a means to service today’s fast paced lifestyles.Congdon’s has always been a family restaurant where quality in our products has our utmost devotion, constantly striving for the best in everything we offer. We do hope you enjoy dining at our house.
