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.

On a recent cruise we had a port stop in Rockland, ME. Instead of doing an excursion we decided to…read moredo one of those "go down this street and right" excursions where you make everything up as you. Since it was between breakfast and lunch we decided to stop into Atlantic Baking for a coffee and a pastry. Atlantic Baking is an unassuming shop right along what I'm going to consider a main street through Rockland. Not necessarily THE main street, but the Main-est we saw, so I'm sticking with that. Inside are several cases of pastries, breads, rolls, donuts and other baked goods that looked at me as if to say "I dare you". There was a cinnamon roll-ish thing that looked really good, and a Vanilla latte are what talked to me most. The staff (two young ladies on this morning) were busy hustling and, even with that, were helpful as they tried to keep taking care of customers. The vanilla latte was SUE-PERB, albeit a bit hot for my taste (had it let is cool first). As we sat having our halfway-between-breakfast-and-lunch-but-not-really-brunch snack there was a steady stream of customers, I'm guessing about 50/50 regulars and cruisers. Aside from pastries, coffees and teas, there's a cooler with canned/bottle beverages for the on-the-go beverage drinker. With as much activity as was going on during our visit you'd think it'd be difficult to keep clean, but there was a gentleman who came out frequently to take care of emptied tables, trash, etc. There are windows into the baking area, proving that they've got nothing to hide. Most everything is made on site with fresh, natural ingredients by people who take pride in what they do. Atlantic Baking is a charming place and a nice stop for a mid-morning snack

Dot's was recommended by the staff at our hotel and we found it about 5 minutes down the road from…read morewhere we stayed. It's a really cute little market with tons of grab and go items, drinks, and sundries but also a thriving deli and bakery counter. We showed up during a rush and there were like 20 people in line, it moved fairly quickly and we ordered a veggie frittata, a ham and cheese panini, and a slice of a Maine Blueberry Huckle Pie I believe and it was moist and decadent and really, really good. My husband loved it. They had pasta salad, chicken salad, breakfast burritos, breakfast biscuits, and tons and tons of baked goodies. I wanted to try cookies and muffins, and cakes and some of the other items but, we'd already indulged in a few other stores so, we stuck with our breakfast items and the Blueberry Huckle Cake slice. Loved it. Parking can be tight but, you can invent a spot as long as you aren't blocking someone in and it seems to work out.

They also sell baked treats, hot foods, bagged/fancy snacks and home goods. There's seating inside & out but even better taking the .5 mile hike down to the beach to eat! 10/10 find, I love taking people here

We were greeted by a friendly server The menu was diverse, and all the dishes seemed well curated. They serve local coffee! I had the generously portioned sweet potato and scrambled egg bowl.

The server offered to bring out fresh home fries. then the front of the house manager brought our bill and discounted the tab greatly. He was very apologetic. We definitely would go back based on this customer service. Worth mentioning, there is a side entrance that is handicap accessible (the main entrance on Centre Street has steps leading up to it). But if one wanted to go to the bakery counter from that entrance, there are a few steps to get to that level.

After my visit I am just wondering what this is all about. Maybe just the drinks honestly. I don't know really and after my experience I am not sure I even want to go back. I stopped here to get some bagels to have for breakfast the next day. The bagels are not homemade, they are from NY which is not a problem. I was perfectly fine with that. The cream cheeses are on the homemade side. They tasted great honestly the ones we had. Where things went south for us is the male at the register taking my order. He basically told me I would be better off going to the Hannaford grocery in town for bagels and cream cheese, as I was placing my order. That kind of rubbed me the wrong way. As I am trying to give business to the locals. To imply for me go elsewhere was odd. When I was there there was not a long line or anything. So it was not like I was holding anyone up. I felt like maybe they did not want to scoop the cream cheeses into a cup. I do not know. But, it just left a bad feeling all together. From that point on I did not order any drinks or other food. I was just honestly done.

Famous last words. The pastry case whispered sweet nothings to us and we simply could not leave empty-handed. The pastries? Delicious -- flaky, flavorful, and clearly made with love (and butter, lots of butter). The latte hit the spot, though it could have used just a little more kick -- let's just say it leaned more "gentle good morning" than "wake-up-we're-driving-800-miles-today." Service was very friendly, the shop itself is charming and quaint, and honestly, if you're passing by, go ahead and surrender to the pastry case. Resistance is futile and your taste buds will thank you.
