We were so impressed, our "To Go" coffee order became a sit down sampling of Scotch eggs, sausage rolls and a vegetarian pastry! All delicious, and the cappuccinos were perfect too! What a find! The owner was so pleasant and friendly. Eclectic and fun places like Amandines aren't easy to find, and I am so glad we came across it. There are lots of items and local goodies for purchase. Will certainly go back on our next trip and definitely recommend to any one going to or from Bar Harbor! Great job Amandines - well done! Cheers-

We stumbled in looking for breakfast. OMG - Where else in Maine are you going to find scotch eggs…read moreAND Hamentaschen? We kind of fell in love with the place. Reasonably priced, small breakfast menu. Not a ton to offer in terms of pastries, but everything looked great. A freezer stocked with homemade dinner pies; Adorable Maine-centric gifts and art; An interesting collection of wines for sale... I believe it was the proprietor, who was the sole person behind the counter when we went. He was very friendly. Temper your expectations, because it is not a big French bakery, or an artisan bread or full diner breakfast kind of place. But it is quirky, satisfying, and does what it does really well.

I ordered a small carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. The cake had beautiful frosting details and a walnut topping.

There was truly no greater feeling than walking up to this cute, cozy little bakery and seeing a "Sold Out" sign, knowing that I had maybe 20+ pastry items waiting for me. The taste lived up to the hype. I tried the pistachio croissant, which was unique and had a lovely unexpected chocolate filling. But the apple kouign amann with the caramel filling was simply to die for. I got other pastry items to see how they stacked up against Portland's greatest (e.g. ham & cheese croissant, plain croissant, bagels). These standard items were good, I think where the Place Bakery truly shines is the more unique pastry items that you won't find elsewhere. They are clearly gifted bakers, have a trusted cult following and are a staple in the neighborhood. If you're only open on the weekends and still able to float as a business, you're doing something right. Run, don't walk, to the Place Bakery.

Owen's General Store in Lincolnville is anything but your typical general store. It's a little gem…read morefull of character and small-town charm. The storefront is adorable with its red barn color and Victorian vibe, and inside you'll find cozy seating areas both indoors and outdoors, perfect for lingering a bit after shopping. The staff here are beyond friendly and helpful. In fact, this is the very place where the "blueberry pie survey" happened. We asked the lady behind the register where to find the best blueberry pie, and she started to ask customers who came by who they recommended. They directed us to Moody's Diner. Locals and staff alike are quick to share stories and recommendations, which makes it feel like you're part of the community even if you're just passing through. The store itself is full of surprises. They've got a wood-burning pizza oven (yes, in a general store, how cool is that?), hot lattes, teas, and other comforting drinks, because nothing beats sipping a latte in a Victorian-style shop while digging into a fresh out of the wood burning oven gooey cheesy slice of pizza. Add in their great selection of beer and wine, plus Maine classics like whoopie pies and Moxie soda, and you've got something for everyone. A local gentleman even gave me the full history of Moxie, and that kind of friendliness is exactly what makes this place so special. Outside, you'll find pretty flowers and herbs adding to the charm. Owen's is quaint, welcoming, and one of those stops that makes a Maine trip extra memorable. Definitely worth a visit or 5! I'll most def be going back!

Stopped in to get some snacks to eat while hiking: in keeping with local produce, got a blueberry bran muffin and a maple bun whose name I forget. The ingredients were great quality: you could taste the freshness of the blueberries and the purity of the maple syrup. The question, for me, is whether the baking elevates these ingredients beyond if I'd just had blueberries and maple syrup. About that, I'm not sure.
