Downeaster was exactly what we needed before our day of biking in Acadia. We got an Americano,…read morelatte, and breakfast sandwich bagel with egg sausage and cheese. Very good! The inside had little curios for sale and bonus - they were pet friendly! We saw many cute dogs and accessories for dogs. They had local art, trinkets, cups, and more for sale. Service was good, they were working hard to crank out orders. The seating was limited, we snagged a table outside, but there are very few. It's in a very cute location on the main road - highly recommended!

Service and ambiance was good. You can also buy other small items. I had a blueberry scone and iced latte with half and half. Iced latte was excellent. Blueberry scone was good if you like cinnamon in your scone so it was good just surprised to have cinnamon and not my preference but still good. They are offering some good quality items in this more remote area of the Acadia park area.

Early September I stayed for a week in Elizabeth's room at Elsa's. If there was a word for better…read morethan perfect, I would use it. The property was gorgeous, the room was spacious yet still felt cozy and had the perfect view of the harbor (across the street!) The inn keepers were so warm, kind and helpful. Especially Ryan, possibly the sweetest person I've ever met. And THE BEST breakfast. They even left me a card on my birthday which was so thoughtful- I was on a solo trip for my 30th. The location was ideal for me. It is off the island so you drive about an hour to get to most of Acadia but the drive is so stunning and goes by fast. MUCH preferred to some noisy, packed hotel in Bar Harbor. Trust me on that. Plus, the night sky is way more breathtaking without all the lights from town. And it's a few minutes from the Schoodic part of the park which is perfect for catching the sunset after a long day of exploring. there are also so many perfect little local spots to eat at right up the road (but be warned, things close early around here!) Will definitely be coming back. Thanks again for being my home away from home on the best birthday adventure I could imagine.

First, can we talk about the amazing host and servers? They made our meal that much more terrific…read more Unlike many places in the area, this felt like a true sit-down restaurant with a mix of local flavors and things from the chef's travels around the world while the restaurant is closed (evidently they are built on top of granite and cannot stay open year round as the granite freezes). My son had the strawberry-rhubarb lemonade (yum), my husband had a cider, nd I had tea! To start, we shared the gluten free calamari. After that, I had the cataplana (very tasty and filling), my husband the halibut (sooo good), and my son the steak. For dessert, my son had the blueberry cheesecake, because when in Maine, why not. They also had a chocolate gluten-free cake. Everything was scrumptious, but it really was the server who made the meal extra special.

The Early Bite -- or as I like to call it, The Overhyped Bite. Trendy, crowded, and apparently…read morefueled by Instagram rather than scratch cooking. The food was okay -- tasty enough -- but the portions were small, and the prices seemed to assume I was dining on a rooftop in Paris, not in a side alley. My matcha latte had potential but zero balance -- all grass, no grace. The regular latte was equally meh, more like coffee-scented milk. The Shakshuka was decent but nothing to write home about, and the blueberry pancakes (which everyone raves about) lost some magic once I noticed their "secret ingredient": Golden Malted pancake mix, spotted upstairs near the restroom along with a lineup of pre-bought ingredients and juices. Mystery solved. Which brings me to the biggest question: if nothing's made from scratch, why does it take 30 minutes for the food to arrive? Maybe the wait time is part of the experience -- slow food meets pre-mix café chic. To be fair, the service was friendly, and the vibe was fine if you like dining al fresco in a blah alley with a side of hype. Bottom line: decent flavors, kind staff, but more style than substance. If you're chasing trendy brunch photos, it delivers. If you're chasing real scratch clean cooking, keep walking.
