I thought the blueberry ice cream was still pretty decent, it didn't blow me away with the flavor or creaminess but it was fine. Not allowing samples is silly. The portion sizes are generous and good value for the price. A flight was probably close to two pints of ice cream. The service was prompt and friendly besides not allowing samples. It's just a window so you drive up, get out of your car, and order at the window. There are some tables if the weather is nice, otherwise eat in your car.

I was looking for a special Maine blueberry pie for my partner when I came across Mount Dessert…read morePies. That man knows blueberry pies. We decided to get one on our way out of town and I'm so incredibly glad we did. Another review says these are the best pies on earth. They're not exaggerating. At all. That blueberry pie was the best pie on earth. I don't need to describe every detail. It's absolute perfection. Seriously, this pie is so good you might have to admit it's better than your grandmother's. The location is tucked away on the main road in and out of Bar Harbor. It's so cute! One sister runs the bakery while the other runs the Bed & Breakfast (which looks absolutely adorable). I'd go back and stay at their b&b just to eat pie all day everyday.

Mount Desserts Pie Company had thousands of positive reviews, so we decided that's where we had to go. When you arrive, there is a handmade sign on the side of the highway for the shop and the driveway to pull in is a little tricky and takes a minute to figure it out. We pulled up right in front of the doors. Tip: turning right after you enter the driveway says "exit" only, so you have to pull straight ahead, even if it seems like you're not supposed to park there. We headed inside and were greeted by a friendly woman named Brit who had a ton of pie boxes ready to go! We got our blueberry pie and ate half of it in the car after we drove away. The pie was exactly what we wanted: fresh, local, great texture, and buttery crust. It was perfection! Another tip: it's cash or Venmo only and you can call ahead. $35 per pie. It's whole pies only, they don't sell by the slice.

We stopped here on our way home to CT yesterday! I had seen Momo's bakery on TV I believe on CBS…read moreearlier in the year and I was like, I have to visit this spot when I visit Maine! I was actually reminded by a nice girl who worked at the Primrose Inn in Bar Harbor, her name is Elle, that we must add to our Maine bucket list to stop by this cheesecake spot that her and her friends drive all the way to when they get out of work at night! I was so glad she reminded me. We did not have a cooler, and with a 7 hour drive I knew I could only pick one slice. It was a very, very tough decision to make. I had to go with the tradition slice! I am so glad I did. I have had so many meh cheesecakes that I guess I just never had a good one! So creamy and thick and just OMG. I wish I got 3 more slices. This was the most amazing cheesecake I have ever had. I will be dreaming of this until I can visit Maine again next summer. Momo, you do an amazing job. Keep doing what you're doing. Your product is absolutely out of this world!

I don't know what to talk about first. The cheesecake. Their business model. Trust. Faith…read more Okay, the cheesecake. FRICKEN' AMAZING and DELICIOUS. Every single flavor that we tried...... and we had a really difficult time deciding which flavors to try of their 60 +/- flavors AT ALL TIMES. We didn't want to be pigs about it... well, actually, we DID want to be pigs, but we didn't let ourselves, and it was darn difficult to limit how many flavors to try out of 60. Every piece was fresh, perfectly made cheesecake, and every flavor was well represented. Being in Maine, we HAD to try blueberry cheesecake. We also tried strawberry, lemon blueberry, cannoli, apple crisp, and s'mores. Sad to say, we never finished them, but we tried them all, and they lasted a good long while. All were perfect and delicious. Now, for their business model. Imagine a business open 24/7... the doors are always open, and NOBODY is working in the storefront with the exception of people (the owners, I'm assuming) loading in more cheesecake flavors when they run out. The business is run COMPLETELY on the honor system. If memory serves, there are 3 ways to pay, but I only recall with specificity the Venmo way to pay cuz that's what I used. I think they accepted checks and one more way to pay, but I don't really recall. Let me be clear, though... it is up to each individual to be on their honor system and pay for what they want to take. Where else on this earth do you know of any retail type shop where people are left to their honor to pay for goods? I have never heard of nor seen any such thing like this before. I could have just as easily walked right out with my cheesecake slices and not paid for any of them. Nobody would have known. They don't check. They don't ask. I'm so impressed by this business model and the fact that it works !!!! I witnessed it. Everyone was paying. It truly is a testament about faith and trust, and it still works. This is just brilliant. Momo's also sells gargantuan pieces of carrot cake, which we did not try, as well as whoopie pies, which we also didn't try. If they sell other items besides the above, I just didn't see them, but I think they have quite enough already. Sixty + flavors of cheesecake alone should keep people happy. The only downside to Momo's is that we live nowhere near it, but I'm truly glad for the experience we had.

It's a cute spot that I am sure would make a killing if they stayed open for post-dinner desserts. We were staying down the road and never seemed to catch them as they close by 2 pm every day. Our family of 4 got coffee, London Fog tea, breakfast sandwiches with sausage on croissants, a strawberry banana smoothie, blueberry turnover, and Belgian chocolate croissant. My ten year old said his smoothie and blueberry turnover were "the bomb." My six year old inhaled her chocolate croissant and didnt really come up for air. Everything was so fresh. The breakfast sandwiches came with two eggs, a lean sausage patty, and all of it was not greasy. The croissant was sturdier so it could stand up to the sandwich. Like everywhere else in the area, cash only, but they all have an ATM on site where you can pay an ATM fee. This one was $2. There were some nice picnic tables outside too.

Walked in and a man who I guess worked there came out from the back to help (he just didn't fit the appearance of a baker to me, but no judgement).
