It's in an old bank building on a darling street that you need to stroll down. Once inside, we were mesmerized by the delectable treats in the cases and by the bakers toiling away in front of the open vault doors. We ordered a cinnamon roll (possibly the BEST we have ever had!) and an apple cream cheese danish (FILLED with creamy cheese and apple slices!). We also got a loaf of olive sourdough bread that we had with dinner. So good. Truly wish we had bought more!! The black coffee was smooth and the Mocha Latte was like drinking melted chocolate (perhaps a bit too much for me). Absolutely recommend a stop here even if it's out of your way.

I visited for the first time recently and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience…read more We arrived around 6:00 PM and placed our order right away--two macaroni and cheese dishes and a soup. By 6:45 PM, our food still hadn't come out, and we had to ask for it to be packaged to go so we wouldn't miss a movie across the street. What made this especially frustrating was that there were only two other tables in the restaurant--one already had food, and the other was served while we were still waiting. Because of the delay, our food sat in the car during the movie. When we finally ate later that evening, both macaroni and cheese dishes were extremely disappointing--lacking flavor and ultimately inedible. I brought the soup home to try the next day, and it was just as disappointing. It was mostly potatoes, many of which were undercooked and still crunchy, and I even found what appeared to be a small piece of burnt wood in it. Overall, I spent about $80 on three items that were significantly delayed and very poor in quality. I will say, the ginger cookies were delicious--that was the one highlight. I did reach out privately to give the restaurant an opportunity to respond before posting this review, but did not receive a reply. Really unfortunate experience, especially for a first visit.

The cappuccino was underwhelming, but the server was upfront about not knowing the menu well, which I appreciated. I ended up chatting with the pizza maker, who gave great insight into their approach and philosophy. I regretted sitting outside--watching the pizza-making process inside would've been a better experience. That said, the white breakfast pizza was hands down the best I've had in a long time. Fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced, and not overly heavy on dairy, which was a big plus since I'm lactose sensitive. Before I can give a full review, I'll need a few more visits. I'm not sure why it's been review-bombed on Yelp, but it's clear the front-of-house service could use some improvement. The food, though, is promising.

We were greeted by two friendly counter ladies who took our order. They accommodated my request for paper boxes versus plastic shell containers. 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!

When it's slow, it's no the fault of the staff, it's the customers that are indecisive and waffling about their decisions. I admit, I was that waffle person ONCE...never again, because we know the flow and also our favorites. For ordering of sandwiches, deli orders, basically things that aren't premade in the glass case/counter...you must complete a paper slip. It's pretty great to be able to customize what you want without having to repeat yourself (which is something I hate doing). We have had sandwiches - quality bread and ingredients! We have had their calzone type of offerings - YUM! So good. I have tried many of their cheesecakes. They are delicious.. They are rich and decadent, as cheesecakes should be in my opinion. I loved all of them, I think the blueberry is my favorite followed by Heath Bar. We love all of their cookies and baked goods. One that will get us coming back, even if it is just for this cookie, are their ricotta cookies. They are so hearty, fluffy and delicious. I hesitated sharing that, because every time I share something, they are always sold out. Anyway...sharing is caring. The owner is super nice. The workers are more reserved and task oriented, so don't distract with conversation if they are busy! There are usually plenty of seats and tables, but it can get crowded when there is a show across the street..be warned. I highly recommend this business and food. Excellent!

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!

Our order was placed on Sept. 23 and we needed it for Oct. 6. Not only was she awesome to work with but the 3 layer cake she made was delicious. She delivered the finished cake to our church the morning of the wedding and had it all decorated to perfection. We ordered a 3 tier wedding cake and each layer was a different flavor but all were equally decadent. The bottom layer was a vanilla cake with strawberry/raspberry mixed filling, the middle was a coconut cake with chocolate ganache filling and the top layer was a coconut cake with the strawberry/raspberry filling. The favors of each layer were the right amount of sweet, you can tell she is an artist in her craft. We will absolutely be ordering from her again! Thank you for making the cake so perfect and helping to make Our Day so special!
