My husband and I stopped by Lil's in Kittery, Maine, and I could tell it's a very popular spot among Kittery locals. It's is a cozy spot with an inviting atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating, with a beautiful spread of freshly baked breads and pastries. I ordered a vanilla latte and a raspberry cream cheese danish, and both were absolutely delightful. If you're in the area, Lil's is definitely worth a visit for its quality offerings and charming ambiance!

Without a doubt it's a must try! Super cute spot! We come every time we visit Portsmouth. Crullers are the BEST donut you will ever have! We've tried every from the sausage egg biscuit, pizza, sandwiches, southwestern wrap, soup, and everything is phenomenal!

I have been visiting up here for a couple weeks. When I visit, I like to experience new places and things. I had heard the cruellers at Lil's were the best! And they are! Such a light, airy pastry that truly does melt in your mouth! This is my 2nd visit! I love the maple! It isn't heavy on the stomach not is it sickeningly sweet. It is the most perfect crueller ever!! Thank you! Special shout out to the young lady who loves her wolves! Great service! Will I return? Yes! Each and every time!

This was the perfect spot to stop for coffee for my wife and I! Everything about it makes me think it is a popular local cafe with lots of regulars but sure it gets packed with tourists during the summer as well. We got in the back of a decent size line but the staff were making it feel like no wait at all! Lots of indoor and outdoor seating available so even if busy no worries. Their house made syrups in the cold brew tasted fantastic! My wife got their toasted cinnamon and I tried the mocha. I'll give the slight edge to toasted cinnamon. Hearing and seeing so much about their house made crullers piqued our interest and it being fall meant we needed to try the pumpkin spice version. It was straight perfection with such a light and airy feeling to it and it packed so much flavor into every bite! I have not had crullers in quite some time but I can't remember a time I have had one this good! The incredible taste of this alone would make a return trip worth it! Need to try the regular one and future seasonal flavors! A great spot to start off your day with a hot or iced beverage and a tasty pastry!
