We had a terrible business experience with Nedra Smith, the co-owner of this now-out-of-business…read morecoffee shop. She insulted us as well as our children, ripped us off, and then did a G0FundM€ to pay off her coffee roasters machines only to immediately afterward go out of business. She did an article in BDN claiming she was reopening somewhere in Ellsworth but hasnt ever showed up. For someone who says she is for love and inclusivity where everyone is welcomed, she sure sucks at practicing it. And she runs her business with a complete lack of professionalism and just outright bad ethics.

If you're visiting the quiet side of Acadia National Park, don't miss Clark Point Cafe. We loved it…read moreso much we went there every single day during our vacation. This is truly one of the best breakfast places I've ever been to. Everything was exceptional -- the Eggs Benedict, tartines, Turkish eggs, fresh bakery items, and all the different superb coffee selections. Every meal was fresh, unique, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and relaxing, with friendly service that made us feel at home every time we walked in. Clark Point Cafe became one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Acadia's quiet side!

This was my second time visiting & I ended up ordering even more than the first. I originally…read moreplanned to try a new spot, but nothing else was open around that time so I came back here, and I'm glad I did. I started with two toasted bagels with cream cheese. They were fine, not the freshest bagels I've had, but they had a good amount of cream cheese, just okay overall. The croissant was large and nicely toasted, likely not baked in-house (gave off Costco croissant vibes), but it came with a really tasty berry spread. The blueberry scone, however, wasn't great. Not a fan of the texture or flavor on that one. For coffee, I tried the dirty chai and a regular drip coffee, both solid and satisfying. But the real showstopper was the lavender latte. I'm obsessed. It was fragrant, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Easily my favorite part of the visit. I also had the BLT sandwich and the smoked salmon tartine. Both were delicious. You could tell the same ingredients (pickles, veggies, capers) were used across multiple items, but it still worked well and tasted fresh. Lastly, I ordered the Dutch baby pancake. The presentation was lovely, and it was freshly made, but the flavor was just okay, I've had better. The overall experience was really fun. People around us were checking out my food and even asked for recommendations. The staff also acknowledged our spread, which made it feel even more welcoming.

Popped in here while exploring downtown Ellsworth, looking for some Matcha which seems to be a bit…read moredifficult to find in the area. Thankfully, we found Flexit because the Matcha was really delicious! My wife and I both ordered an Iced Lavender Matcha and the drinks came out quickly and efficiently. It seemed like a cute place to hang out and do some working/study sessions. Plus the location is perfect. Plenty of parking nearby and lots of other shops to explore post-caffeine. We did not order food during this visit so I cannot comment on the food. However, I will say that it seemed like they had a great selection of food as well as a grab-n-go section with lots of items from the cafe and other local vendors. If we're ever back in Ellsworth, we will 100% be back.

I went to Flexit Cafe about three years ago and was pretty weirded out at how unfriendly the staff…read morewas. So much so that I didn't go back in until today. They're in a new location. It's been a while. I figured there would be new, and hopefully friendlier, staff. I was half right. There was new staff, but unfortunately, they were as unwelcoming as the last batch. This place has no prices on any of the premade sandwiches or pastries in their cases (why??), so we asked "Hey there, how much are your pies and cookies?". The employee was in the lobby sweeping and said "I'm not sure. Somewhere between $3- $5. Maybe more". She doesn't look up. Doesn't offer more clarity. She just shrugged this non-answer to us and carried on. It was awkward. So my husband, trying to make light of it, says "Sounds like it's up for debate so how about I give you $2.50" and this girl gives us a dour look and snaps "Well, I'm not behind the cash register so I can't look at the prices, can I?". So, we have now learned our lesson with this place twice. Not sure what it is about the culture there that results in such bad service years apart and by different people. We won't be returning.

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.

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 breakfast biscuit sandwich was THE BEST biscuit you will ever have the pleasure of enjoying. Granted, my opinion is that it was perfect for the sandwich, it wouldn't be dense enough for sausage gravy. It would have to be a topper rather than getting slathered if you know what I mean. I went lighter and got a blueberry scone which was equally as delicious just satisfying my sweet tooth vs his savory one that morning. Anyway, we loved it so much while we were eating I went back inside and grabbed two more scones - a blueberry and fig/almond for us to have the following morning for sunrise at Cadillac. Their lattes were also wonderful. I would shop here regularly if I was a local but for now the best I can do is rave about this place on the internet.

The prosciutto was tangy and satisfying on the roll with butter. The sandwich is made already, and by the register so you don't forget to pick one up. Let me also say that the potato salad was stellar--the dill was a nice touch. The cookies were fantastic as well. I normally don't go for little specialty stores, but this one was reasonably priced in every way. The staff was friendly and pleasant. Go there. You won't be sorry.

Since I am basic, I ordered their pumpkin pie latte with oat milk over ice. This festive fall drink was perfectly spiced without being overly sweet or artificial. And since I was in Maine, I obviously had to get a blueberry muffin. The blueberries in this muffin were some of the freshest I have ever had and I can see why Maine is known for them. There were a couple outdoor seats in addition to the indoor seating, but I took my order to go. The service was extremely friendly and engaging and I would definitely come back the next time I'm in the area.

We shared the focaccia, smashed potatoes and broccoli. Even later in the week, We couldn't stop talking about how delish everything was. Main courses for our table included steak, & two different pasta dishes. Mist of us tried the apple cider mimosa, and some had wines. It's the sort of food where when you have finished the meal, you wish you could do it all over again. My advice, eat very S L O W L Y. For dessert we shared an orgasmic piece of flourless chocolate cake.

This place has so much going for it, a gem off the beaten path. But there are a few things that…read morehad me dropping a star. First the greats: beautiful setting and barn. Wonderful, friendly reception by the staff. Arrive a little early for your reservation, check in and grab a beer. Walk around the grounds, be sure to wear farm-ready shoes if you do this and watch your step as this is a real farm. Picnic tables are all around, grab a seat, review the menu and listen to the music. When it is time to for your reservation head back in and order at the register. You will need to pick your table in advance letting them know the table number at time of ordering. Your food will be delivered to your table. The food is very, very good. We had the pizzette as an appetizer and the wood fired crust was perfect. For dinner we chose the pasta and pork entrees. Large portions, great flavors, perfectly cooked and presented. They only serve Maine beers which is also wonderful. We shared a bottle of wine, it was reasonably priced. The frozen dessert was delicious. Dinner could not be better. Now the less goods. Cover charge. We had beers, appetizer, 2 entrees, a bottle of wine and dessert. What is the first charge I see on the bill? 2x$15 cover charge. Who ever heard of such a thing for a restaurant? Not good. If live music is a must for the venue, Increase your food prices, have a food and drink minimum or charge the cover to those who are only drinking and listening to music. After what we just dropped on dinner seeing a cover charge was not cool. Table hunting. We had a 6:15 reservation on a Saturday night. It was touch and go as to whether or not we could get a table for two in the dining room. If you can't get a table you may have to sit at a larger table and share space with others or be in bar area or outside. Would be nice to know you have a table without the stress. I am not adverse to this type of seating but it feels more brewery-like than restaurant-like. Overall this is a great place. Really good for small group or family. Not your special anniversary, quiet table kind of place. But this is a must do place when thinking about places to bring visitors or just a casual night out for two. Parking can be tricky so leave the big truck at home and bring the small car. For those thinking this is a replacement for The Lost Kitchen. It is not. Both TLK and TPF are wonderful but they are not interchangeable experiences. But, it is waaay easier to get a reservation at TPF and the food is terrific so put it on your summer dining list.
