The poke bowl is absolutely delicious, as are the lumpia. My daughter devours the lumpia and she's two; that's how you know they're killer! Service has always been great. Wait times are never out of control. Seating is comfortable, even in the winter. This is a fun spot to get away from the fried fish fest of Ellsworth & the island, especially in summer.

They had a comfy waiting area nearby the host stand. The host also did a great job of making sure you could hear your name being called. We sat in the outdoor seating, which was covered and really a great Maine experience. Service was friendly, and the food came out very quickly. It felt like a Gilmore Girls/Stars Hollow-esqe scene. I ordered the benedict, coffee, and the blueberry pancake. The pancake was one of the best things I've eaten in Maine. It was a perfectly crispy on the outside, thin and absolutely delicious pancake. To top it off there were real Maine blueberries and real maple syrup. It was simply delightful. If you find yourself in Bar Harbor, make sure to go to Cafe This Way.

The blueberry pancakes are a must and their different omelet combos all sounded amazing it was hard to choose. Their biscuits with strawberry butter are one of the things they're known for so I'd at least be sure to try. Will definitely be returning next time we're in the area :)

Service was decent but not amazing. Place is very tiny and tables are crammed together. It was uncomfortable to seat because of how small space there is. We all ordered different coffee and all of them were below average. Food wasn't great either. Salmon Benedict was very average. We never came back there because no one in our group liked the food or coffee.

Get the lobster crepes if you want to brag and send photos back home to your friends. Huge amount of lobster meat perfectly flavored with a touch of mayo. The crepe was amazing and a work of art with lattice shaped dough all laced in with arugula. The arugula salad was the right mix of fresh, light and crisp. We will come back!

If you decide to sit outside fear not they will come outside and call your name when your order is ready. If you're taking a whale cruise, Sunrise cafe is conveniently located next to the waiting lines when you head down towards the doc. Otherwise if you didn't know it was there it might be hard to find. Not easily seen from the front of the building. If you enter the building you have to go down two flights of stairs and make a left. So it really is a hidden gem. There are pastries and breakfast items available, I got the avocado toast, it's got A LOT of avocado on it so I scrapped a bit off and spread the rest, with a delectable balsamic glaze. AMAZING.

The service was great, we loved our server and we were able to see them make our food. We ordered a Homemade granola bowl with yogurt and fruit, their made-from-scratch French toast, bacon and scrambled eggs were primo good. I ordered an amazing French vanilla Latte to top it off, hands down great! But be prepared to stand in line and wait, it's that good. They close early so get there early.

Coffee mugs for sale and they bring you a little coffee thermos for the table to refill/keep warm which I loved. Our server was sweet. Menu is loaded with all the things I love - omelettes, pancakes, Benedicts, etc. I chose the wild Maine blueberry pancakes with a side of chicken sausage and thought they were delicious! The pancakes were loaded through and through with blueberries in every bite. My husband went with the corned beef hash (his personal fav) and said it was good and it was clearly house-made. Food was out quickly and we enjoyed our meal. Right in the middle of town and clearly a popular spot with tourists, I can see how this can be a loooooong wait during the summer.
