The bakeshop opened Feb. 6 in a 2,500-square-foot space at 987 Route 236 that seats 40 inside and more than 40 outdoors. Co-owner Tina Maria said the venue represents a major expansion. Enzo Benzo originally opened in 2022 in a 600-square-foot space in Berwick, but the business soon outgrew that location.
Enzo Benzo offers Italian-style donuts, pastries, cakes, cookies and breads and other baked goods, as well as regional Italian sandwiches on house-baked focaccia. The store sells a full line of espresso beverages featuring Italian coffee brands like Lavazza.
Enzo Benzo also has a small retail section offering Italian pantry staples like olive oil, ancient grain pastas, tomato sauce, olive tapenade, Calabrian chilies and Sicilian herbs.
Enzo Benzo Specialty Donuts is open Wednesday through Sunday from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., or until sold out.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
