    Perfect fun wedding cake that we LOVED
    Ellie R.

    We just had a small wedding in Northeast Harbor and Janice made the MOST beautiful cake for us! Stunning. We asked for a Maine scene, and she had lots to chose from. She was incredibly flexible and accommodating to us in the middle of a pandemic when no business is business as usual. And fun to work with! Her flavors are creative and fun, and her finished product was the centerpiece of the whole event! Cannot recommend highly enough. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/celebration-cakes-by-janice-strout-bar-harbor?select=XmAGkksUFAAOEkZokmHYkQ

    our wedding cake
    A M.

    Janice did the cake for our August 12th, 2012 wedding at the Bar Harbor Inn. Included with the entree pricing at the BHI is a simple white wedding cake with your choice of design. You can pay more for different flavors of cake and more elaborate designs. We upgraded to a 4-tier cake, with 2 layers of white cake with buttercream icing (the standard cake) and 2 layers of "chocolate decadent cake with chocolate ganache filling." I also wanted roses and calla lillies made out of sugar paste along the side. This is the "inspiration picture" I provided: http://weddingo.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/contemporarychocolateroseandlily.jpg and this is the cake she created (minus the cake topper, which I bought on Etsy): http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/R9_9LL1Z_dqtsw1pZt1nNQ?userid=Wxd-EKF2Z4RHZUmwQ6Eeew#U1Tpb1b3wz_DEFzUVK1m5g I was AMAZED at how well she created what I wanted. They look practically identical!!! (Also note that the differences, e.g. our cake not being wrapped in fondant, were requested by us, so it could have been even more identical had we wanted it that way). I was blown away when I saw the cake on our wedding day and many people told me it was the most beautiful wedding cake they had seen. Because we went through the Bar Harbor Inn, we did not ever work directly with Janice, just with Melissa and Nicole (the BHI event planning staff). I have to admit that made me a little nervous, but all three of them did an amazing job at communicating with us and with each other, because we got exactly what we wanted at a very reasonable price. I will say that while the cake tasted good, the chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling did not taste quite as amazing as I expected it to from the description (I'm a total chocoholic). Wedding cake is not known for being particularly tasty, and while I think this tasted really good for wedding cake it was not mind-blowingly delicious. But it was still good, and as I said, I could not have imagined the cake looking any better. I can't recommend Janice and her cakes enough if you need a beautiful cake for a wedding or party on MDI. Judging from her Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/MDICelebrationcakes) she is not only incredibly skilled at making beautiful cakes, she's also very creative at coming up with original and unique designs. If you're getting married at the Bar Harbor Inn I encourage you to "dream big" with your cake, because it seems that she can make just about any vision happen. For what its worth, I think the cakes on her own Facebook page show her talent better than the "sample cakes" the BHI will show you, so I recommend checking out her page as well for inspiration.

    I was looking for a special Maine blueberry pie for my partner when I came across Mount Dessert…read morePies. That man knows blueberry pies. We decided to get one on our way out of town and I'm so incredibly glad we did. Another review says these are the best pies on earth. They're not exaggerating. At all. That blueberry pie was the best pie on earth. I don't need to describe every detail. It's absolute perfection. Seriously, this pie is so good you might have to admit it's better than your grandmother's. The location is tucked away on the main road in and out of Bar Harbor. It's so cute! One sister runs the bakery while the other runs the Bed & Breakfast (which looks absolutely adorable). I'd go back and stay at their b&b just to eat pie all day everyday.

    My husband and I traveled to Bar Harbor Maine and we were on a mission to find the best blueberry…read morepie in the area. Mount Desserts Pie Company had thousands of positive reviews, so we decided that's where we had to go. When you arrive, there is a handmade sign on the side of the highway for the shop and the driveway to pull in is a little tricky and takes a minute to figure it out. We pulled up right in front of the doors. Tip: turning right after you enter the driveway says "exit" only, so you have to pull straight ahead, even if it seems like you're not supposed to park there. We headed inside and were greeted by a friendly woman named Brit who had a ton of pie boxes ready to go! We got our blueberry pie and ate half of it in the car after we drove away. The pie was exactly what we wanted: fresh, local, great texture, and buttery crust. It was perfection! Another tip: it's cash or Venmo only and you can call ahead. $35 per pie. It's whole pies only, they don't sell by the slice.

We had coffee or breakfast here every morning of the week we stayed in Bar Harbor and it exceeded our expectations every time. The bagels and sandwiches were delicious. The pastry case was huge and had so many mouth watering choices. Everything we tried was amazing! And the coffee, OMG the blueberry pancake latte was a show stopper. But everything we tried off the original and specialty lists were great. They even made my nieces kids "coffee" in perfectly adorable tiny cups. I can't recommend enough. If there's a line, get in it. CL Is 10000% worth the wait!

There was a long line but wasn't too bad because there was some shade and the place is on main street where the parade starts. Inside was crowded as well and a bit hectic during busy hours. Inside is spacious with multiple seats and tables as well as mild AC and free wifi. I got the maple oat latte. Once i placed the order it took about 5 minutes and picked it up at the window. The latte was not mixed very well initially so had to mix it well before drinking. But once it's mixed it was tasty. I tasted the hint of maple flavor mixed with bitterness of coffee and creaminess of oat milk. Service was good especially considering it was very busy at the time. Overall it's a nice cafe for quick stop or lounging with decent drink options. Price is on the pricier side but pretty standard for local coffee shop. Plus we got to sit and watch the parade without sitting in the sun.
