A Slice of Eden is a small quaint bakery that should not be overlooked if you are vacationing to Bar Harbor. We stopped in one morning and got a breakfast sandwich on a bagel and it was overall great. The bagels and cream cheese are very fresh. There was a very simple and efficient ordering process, and the staff were friendly and on point. Would 100% come again if I was in the area. If there's a specific pastry you want, try to get there early since the most popular ones sell out quickly. read more

Horrible service. Cashier was rude and condescending. I'm not even sure why I finished my order. I asked about what bagels they had because I didn't see the menu board when I was waiting in line. Instead of listing them out, she told me to look at the menu board. Then I asked if I could have butter for my bagel, and she told me that I would need to go to the grocery store for that. Definitely will not be recommending this place to family and friends. And to top it off, the bagels weren't even that good! read more

The wedding cake I ordered from A Slice of Eden turned out beautiful and delicious. Everyone enjoyed the lemon blueberry custard cake! Thank you Charity! read more

Friendly quick service. Best latte in bar harbor. Nice atmosphere. Would definitely return.

Out looking for a hot latte and found A Slice of Eden. Look for the red door to find a wonderful coffee shop. Service was excellent. I chose my milk type and number of espresso shots (two please). Bakery items looked good, especially the sticky buns, but I only came for the coffee. The place was cozy with lots of patrons chatting and a beautiful sunny patio out front. Great stop. read more

I thank the owners for providing a delish cup of coffee and a tasty lemon poppy seed doughnut. Their ambiance is warm, welcoming, and relaxing. I especially thank them for allowing me to sit on their patio after hours to take one of those "can't miss" calls. Given the number of coffee shops, bakeries, breakfast restaurants in Bar Harbor, I would return to spend my money with A Slice of Eden for food quality and outdoor seating. There is lots of space, a water bowl for our 4-legged friends, and flowers along the edges. The name is apt as they offer tranquility from all the tourist activities. Highly recommend as a not miss to recharge, relax, and re-orient oneself before planning more activities! I wish them a great season! Patrick Shaughnessy Chicago, IL read more

Slice of Eden came highly recommended to my by a friend but it was very underwhelming. They were out of the vegan burrito option and the whole wheat protein bagel with vegan cream cheese wasnt that great. Ambiance was fine and they do have outdoor seating too- I wasnt very impressed with this place. read more

Great bagels, biscuits and croissants. Very nice service and selection. Easy to pickup and head back to the hotel or to the park.

Service was poor. The owner of the place, a woman, was not friendly. The way she spoke to costumers was baffling. I was shocked how she spoke to Asian customers standing behind me. A tip for the owner: if the line is so important to you, redesign the layout. Currently, the line order is not clear and confusing. Coffee tasted burnt and old. We literally got there the moment they opened at 6:15am. Pastry was good. Asked for mine to be warmed and the owner had some sly remark about that as well. Only came here because it was the only place open after catching the sunrise at Cadillac Mountain. Wasn't worth the hassle for the bad coffee! read more

Coffee was really good. My husband got the steak burrito it was delicious, fresh made bagels were good!

Best coffee and breakfast sandwiches around! Such a romantic little spot for early morning relaxation time to talk and enjoy. We parked right in front of the restaurant and went really early so street was empty! read more

This place was very cute and casual. Perfect for a fall morning stop in. We got an array of goodies. Note that they can sell out. The gal working the register, although thorough, wasn't confident with the technology. Why have the POS system if you also write down the order ticket on a piece of paper? Who knows. Loved the seasonal drink options and a day old bakery selection. read more

I only give this place one star because the cashier was incredibly rude for no reason. We were not difficult customers and knew exactly what we were getting by the time we got to the register. We spent about $250 and you would think she would be grateful for our business, especially in the off season. But no, she clearly wasn't. The food and coffee were absolutely incredible though. read more

In any town I visit, I'm on the lookout for an amazing bakery. So even before I arrived in Bar Harbor, I had done my research and had my sights set on A Slice of Eden. When you walk in, it seems quite nondescript- there's no long line, there's no fussy decor- it definitely does not feel like a place that is trying way too hard to cater to the throngs of tourists meandering their way along Cottage Street. However, don't let that fool you- this establishment is putting out delicious baked goods. I tried a slice of their blueberry pie and their pecan sticky bun. Both were fantastic. The blueberry pie was the best I've ever tasted- the blueberry filling was packed with fresh, sweet blueberries- it wasn't too sweet, it was not jammy at all, and was filled with brilliant, natural blueberry flavor. The crust was a perfect consistency as well- not soggy, not overdone or crispy, just the ideal level of doneness / moistness. Even without any ice cream, it was sublime. The pecan sticky bun was also fantastic- it had notes of brown sugar/ caramel goodness, lots of pecans, and was an ideal pastry to try for anyone who is a fan of sticky buns, sticky babkas, or cinnamon rolls. The person I was traveling with also tried both the blueberry pie and the pecan bun, and independently confirmed that both were "wow....amazing!" and "the best pie I ever tasted." Given how delicious everything was that I tried here, I can only imagine how great the rest of their offerings are. When you're in Bar Harbor, definitely stop in and try something! read more

mediocre coffee and the woman who takes orders is grumpy. Don't waste your time here, go to the Mount Desert Bakery up the street. They have excellent coffee. read more

Every time I'm Bar Harbor I always make sure to stop here! The vanilla latte is delicious and exactly what I need for a fall/winter trip Down East. The inside is super cute but there is very limited seating available. Definitely the kind of place to take a coffee to go and stroll around Bar Harbor. read more

Decent quick stop, but nothing special or memorable as far as I'm concerned. There is one picnic table available, but otherwise all takeout. The server working this morning clearly had no time for niceties but she kept the line moving so I'll rate service above average. I grabbed a medium roast flavored with hazelnut and it was definitely a nice blend. Very pleasantly smooth with no bitterness. I imagine they brew frequently to keep up with the lines. I also grabbed a slice of lemon chiffon cake and that was pretty meh. I expected more on the sweet front. It wasn't bad in terms of flavor. The lemon was bright but the cake was on the dry and crumby side. Next time I'm downtown in Bar Harbor I might pop into a different shop. Although I wouldn't mind another coffee from Eden. read more

I paid $9 for an iced latte and it was horrible, it tasted super Burnt and bitter. It almost tasted like they had premade their espresso and let it sit and get really bitter. Definitely would not recommend. read more

Good coffee actually the best I've had in Bar harbor but first day I got there at 6 am and the coffee was very hot. Second day I got there at 7 am and it was warm. It's in a big craft pump container so it most not be refilled often. It's a small bakery type of place. I had a blueberry and lemon poppy muffin. They were ok. Nothing great. The lady was friendly and I know it's early morning but she could be a little more welcoming. read more

Giving this place a lower review because the workers were not very inviting or nice. We got some dessert to go - a peanut butter Whoopie pie and a coconut slice. The desserts were pretty good. read more

Got a pumpkin cider donut, I believe that's the name, this morning and it was AMAZING. I also got an apple cinnamon turnover which was wonderful and two teas. Prices weren't bad at all and service was quick and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Well, their espresso drinks are horrible. I ordered a espresso macchiato, pretty basic drink. They even told me they make a "traditional" macchiato not the Starbucks version. Ok. I get that, some folks might be confused if they're used to the caramel, milky version that Starbucks offers, but if you're going to flex on Starbucks you should have basic barista skills. Sadly, they do not. Mine was heavy in the hand, a quick giveaway that it's going to be bad, it got worse, so hot it burned my tongue, and the beans are way over roasted. Service is as if they're doing me a favor. That place had a line, which should give them hope, the first timers can keep you running. My $5 drink made it into the closest trash can. These are $3 to $3.50 in France, NYC, and Italy. Not sure there are better options in Bar Harbor, maybe try tea? read more

The best breakfast sandwich, blueberry scone & fresh brewed iced tea I've ever had! I was lucky enough to enjoy a beautiful afternoon snack at one of the outdoor tables. I ordered the "Western style" egg and cheese with turkey sausage on one of their homemade bagels. It was incredible! I love when a place offers alternatives to pork sausage. They have both vegan and turkey sausage. I had to have something blueberry and noticed that they only had one of their scones left. So I tried that as well... Wow! It was so delicious!!! Their fresh brewed iced tea was seriously good too! We had to take a few more baked goods back to our Airbnb. All of which were yummy. A must stop location when you're visiting Bar Harbor... P.S. The owner was really nice, giving us advice on places to check out in the area. read more

After an early morning sunrise on the harbor we were hungry for something light before the big breakfast at our inn. Someone walking by recommended A Slice of Eden & it was the perfect spot for a pick-me-up! I ordered a sugar free vanilla latte with almond milk & one of their specialty blueberry muffins. After all, blueberries are a Maine thing, so I had to have something baked with fresh ones while there! The staff was very friendly, the space was adorable, & everything tasted delicious. We took our morning treats with us to the top of Cadillac Mountain for an early morning walk & it was the perfect pairing. read more

Oh, their Cream Puffs were the bomb!! Custard was smooth and delicately sweet, protected by their puff , then the puff was covered by a glazed chocolate. This beautiful thing is huge, so like a fool, I quartered it, deceiving myself to eat it gradually throughout the day... only to finish it in one sitting, sipping black coffee in between. I have poor self control with everything delicious. The mini vanilla cake, cupcakes and the Chocolate Bombs were also good. I ordered 2 Chocolate Bombs, but she only gave us one. We were staying in Gouldsboro, so it was a hassle to deal with that. But their Blueberry Smoothie was just fabulous!! People of Maine have a knack for making blueberry stuff so amazingly delicious! read more

Good food with a Nasty Side of Tude. Waited 25 min for 2 takeout bagels. Owner finally said "can I help you?" Said nicely "just waiting for my order." Did she say "so sorry, we'll take care of it...." No. She shockingly snapped back with 9 kinds of defensive and rude. In our opinion - this was not customer service or even common decent manners. We truly understand - holiday wknd, staffing is hard, etc. Maybe she was already (before 8am) having s bad day, peace and love to her. The food was very good, but there is good food everywhere and elsewhere in this area, where the owners and servers are polite and treat customers like they want their business.

I am an early riser and walked all through town looking for coffee. Even the coffee shops were all closed after 6:00am. I finally saw someone carrying a coffee cup and asked. She directed me to A Slice of Eden. The other early morning risers were there also. There was a short wait after placing my order of a bacon, egg, and provolone on a croissant. The staff was friendly and brought my order out to me as I sat outside. I appreciated that the coffee came first, which tasted fine. The sandwich was great. Delicious, buttery croissant with egg and bacon cooked to perfection. The restaurant itself is a cute little place with a large patio seating area outside. I would definitely come back. I highly recommend. read more

This review will be entirely dedicated to the chocolate croissant - that shocked my tastebuds. This is one of the few coffee shops that is open at 6am, so we stopped by after watching the sunrise ( or that morning - clouds) at the top of Cadillac mountain. I bought a coffee and a chocolate croissant that was right next to the register - very strategic placement I might add. The croissant was perfect- warm, light and crispy. I can only imagine how divine the rest of the selection of baked goods must be. read more

Excellent pastries, cakes, teas, and fresh bagels. Ask for them well toasted. They have a few seats indoors and a nice large patio. I noticed they have quiches and ready made sandwiches that would be ideal for a picnic. read more

Excellent lunch sandwiches! Ordered them for our group. Delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies too.

We ordered a breakfast bagel with a western egg with pork sausage and cheddar cheese and an breakfast croissant sandwich with a western egg, peppers & onions, Turkey sausage & provolone. When it came out, mine was missing the peppers & onions, but I was too hungry to make a fuss. read more

The coconut chocolate bar was so good. The PBLT also had a great bun. Comes with a bag of chips.

Go early and beat the rush! Coffee was great and the pastry was handmade. I scooted out of town but they had a small patio for dining.

I stopped by here earlier today with my wife for our morning coffee and breakfast. A Slice of Eden is open before 7 AM unlike some of the other coffee shops in town which was convenient for us. It's located on Main St just near the edge of the store area of town and is a nice little small store. They have two display cases full of pastries, a black and white checkered floor and bar stool seating for only 8 people. For breakfast on this day I decided to go with a cheddar bagel breakfast sandwich with bacon and cheddar on it. Then for my coffee I went with a coconut milk latte. The number of choices that I had just with these two items was pretty crazy as for the breakfast sandwich I had at least 8 bagel choices, 5 protein choices (my wife got sausage and had 3 sausage choices: pork, turkey and vegetarian), 5 cheese choices and about 6 different choices of milk for my latte. I tried my sandwich first and thought that it was quite good. The bagel was toasted nicely and the egg was one of the better ones I have had on a sandwich. Meanwhile the cheese was melted nicely and the bacon was crispy. What else could you want in a breakfast sandwich. My latte was also pretty good as you could taste the coffee part of it. The only thing that I was a little disappointed with was the coconut milk as if I didn't know that's what was in it, I don't think I could have told you. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our food and coffee here, so why not? read more
