The crust on both was perfectly flaky, buttery, and absolutely delicious. The strawberry rhubarb struck that just right balance of sweetness with a bright citrusy lift, and the apple was the kind of all-American comfort you dream about for a fall wedding. We picked the pies up in person, and Apple Shed was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Planning from Arizona could have been tricky, but they were so accommodating and incredibly helpful, making the whole process seamless from afar. Truly outstanding pies and equally outstanding people. Highly recommend!

Holy moly! When I saw the sign that stated "Root beer 1/2 mile" I had no idea what I was in for,…read morebut I knew I was going to check it out. When I looked to my left and saw an actual root beer barrel shaped food stand, I knew I was going to have fun. The menu includes burgers, hotdogs, and root beer floats. I only wanted the float, but have since heard the burgers are pretty great too. The man behind the counter was kind and cheerful. When I asked about whether they carried more than one type of root beer, we got into a great conversation about our love of root beer. He had a few other root beers that a company was trying to push on him and he offered a few for me to try at a later time. While we talked he prepared my Eil's root beer float with locally made vanilla ice cream. He handed me my large cup and the bottle of the remaining root beer. The cup had a clear cover that he had taped down on the sides to keep it extra secure. There was both a spoon and straw for my consuming preferences too. Maybe it was that it was made with Eli's which is one of my favorites or that it was made with local ice cream.....or maybe both, any which way, it was one of the best root beer floats that I have had. Make sure to check out this place while racing down old route 3! It will be worth your time and money.

Is it an ice cream shop or is it a novelty store? IT'S BOTH!…read more The owner must love Halloween. It was June and we loved throwing ourselves into this little store/shop. We love Halloween! And I love Spenceresque type of stores (If you didn't grow up with a Spencer's- think jokey/quirky items, funny socks, etc...) But we really came for the ice cream. I saw a photo of the candy dandy milkshake and I knew we had to stop here. A little disappointed there wasn't more milkshake options but I guess enough. The Candy Dandy was enough for 3 people (although my 3 year old totally thought it was all for him!) It would not have been my first choice but I did enjoy the frosting on the rim of the cup (this was my favorite part.) It was fun! The staff were young and having a good time. Also, very clean establishment and ample parking. Even offer outdoor seating with a nice view.

My Stromboli was hot and ready and it didn't take long for my husband's sandwich to get made. Both were yummy!! Prices are average for the meals and I would say the sweets are very reasonably priced. The dining area is spacious and pleasant. They have high and standard tables. They sell three kinds of Maine coffee: CBD, Upta Camp and Mbingo mountain (roasted and packed in Waterville). It is located in the heart of downtown Waterville. The entrance has automated doors (press the blue button kind) and no steps. They are open everyday but Sunday!

Tips assumed at point of sale are 20%, 25%, or 30%.

Specific Timing - Lunch at The Lost Kitchen (Tuesday, August 26, 2026)…read more Many have asked about how the "no reservations" walk-in lunches work at "The Little Lost Kitchen". So here's our recent experience, down to the minute! (Click on individual photos below for more details). We arrived at the parking lot at about 10:30AM on Tuesday August 26. I counted 30 folks on line ahead of us at 10:35. The first was positioned at the foot of the bridge on the parking lot side. At 11:00AM, I turned around and counted 50 folks behind us! An employee came out and started walking down the line, taking names and party sizes. At 11:10, they sent the "first wave" of 25 people over bridge. They explained they don't want folks waiting on the middle of the bridge, so they only send over as many as they can easily handle in the Ordering area. At 11:25, they sent over a "second wave" including my party. I got to the Ordering Counter and placed my order at 11:45AM. The food started coming out to our table shortly after. Salad right away, soup next, then the fried chicken basket. We finished our lunch right around 12:45, and as we went back across the bridge, I counted about 25 folks on line. So there were actually much fewer people at 12:45 then at 10:45. (Of course, all the dining tables were full, so people were likely being seated much slower that during the initial big opening). The entire experience and food was terrific as many others have posted! The stated "Open Hours" are Tuesday to Saturday, 11:00 to 2:30. I asked if they really went to 2:30PM, and a staffer said yes, but you probably would not want to show up too much later than say 1:30 to avoid being rushed or finding some items sold out. Someone else posted in this group that staffers have said 1 to 1:30 is a very good time to show up. As for dates, I've heard lunch service will run into October, but I don't know a specific date and that's been addressed in other posts (a search in this group for "October" will likely do the trick). Our Lunch: Heirloom Tomatoes - Fresh Burrata, Basil, Charred Lemon Vinaigrette, Flaky Salt   Carrot & Coriander Soup - Bread & Butter   Summer Caesar - Farm Fresh Romaine Head, Purple Basil, Pecorino, Toast Crumbles   Cornflake & Fennel Pollen Fried Chicken - Cabbage Slaw, Homemade Biscuit & Honey Butter   Blueberry & Peach Shortcake - Candied Ginger, Whipped Cream

I wandered into The Bar of Chocolate Café in Portland, Maine, expecting a cozy little cocoa shrine…read moreand left convinced they should rename it The Bar of "Good Luck Walking Straight." I ordered only a chocolate martini, just one, and somehow it tasted like a grown-up milkshake, a sweet silky potion that whispered, "Calories don't count if you drink them." The first sip was like being hugged by a truffle; the second sip was like that truffle winking and rearranging my weekend plans. By the halfway mark, I was negotiating with my brain about whether I needed dinner or just another round of dessert disguised as alcohol. The bartender smiled knowingly, clearly aware that this drink could turn a responsible adult into a giddy cocoa pirate. Four stars because my sweet tooth is still filing a restraining order, dangerously delicious and almost too tempting for its own good.

But when we got there, it wasn't full so she was able to handle it pretty well. The food is served on disposable products. Ours were on bamboo plates with bamboo utensils. I asked the server why that was and she didn't have a very good answer. She said she thought it had something to do with being near a lake. I would recommend the owners educate their staff to be able to confidently answer such questions . I might go back for grilled cheese or bowl of soup. But only if it's convenient. I would probably order something from the front of the house, like a pizza or sandwich, the general store.
