There are not many tables inside and it fills up fast, so I recommend getting food to go. The interior is super cute! I loved all the decor!! The avocado sandwich had a lot of flavor and was worth the 15 minute wait. They have SO many delicious looking sweets, it's hard to decide what to get. I will be back when I'm in the area again!

Many plants were around was an added plus too. Due to showing up so early, especially on Easter meant no one else was there but I assume it turns into a very popular spot at certain times/days. They have many different games available to play as well. As well as host different events that you can check their socials or website to see whole months worth of events. They have a good variety of food and drink offerings as well to help power you through your gaming session or as a grab and go option too. I grabbed an iced vanilla latte while my wife got the lavender iced latte. For some small bites I grabbed a chocolate chip scone and my wife got an everything sour cream scone. The staff asked if we wanted them warmed up with butter which was a great option! A perfect bite to pair with our drinks. Neither my wife or I are really much of gamers in the sense of tabletop games. If you are a fan of that style of games or want to dip your feet in this would be the ideal spot for that. They also had puzzles and board games available for sale as well as puzzle and book exchange too. Check this place out!

Please note there are 2 breakfast menus- first breakfast and second breakfast so flip over the menu for lots of yummy options. You order at the counter. Lots of people pop in just for a coffee as well so the line moves quick. They had some yummy looking pastries including a large scone "sandwich" with red Currant jam and clotted cream. They give you a number for your food order and bring it to you, but you pick up your coffee at the counter. There were a few large groups there so they had seating to accommodate. A few outdoor tables as well. Some people pop in for the fun whimsical & magical decor - LOTR nods. So plan to take a lot of pictures. We had the Rapscallaion wrap - so yummy and poutine -added egg & corned beef hash. Both yummy. Will be a fun place to bring guests who visit. When you are done, You clear your own plates here, I think it wasn't clear as a large table left all their plates.

You order at counter and food is brought to your table. The food was delicious and portions were generous. Atmosphere keeps the conversation and eyes going. Very clever and fun. Even the dishware was fun. Second trip we decided to try the high tea service. A menu of assorted teas and a prefixed food menu. My daughter made reservations and prepaid for our lunch ahead of time. We discussed price point and we believed it to be $48 a couple because who goes to tea alone? Turns out it was $41 per person. This is steep for lunch especially considering what it includes. Tea, a tower of treats; this works out to be 2- half sandwiches each (chicken and cucumber and whipped feta) a very small egg salad on 2-3 bite croissant, a scone with fixings and about 2-3 quarter sized macarons per person. This is very not nearly as generous as their daily menu portions. We had a reserved table and a waitress took our tea order from the table and delivered all items to the table except any napkins or utensils. We still needed to go get them from a centrally located area for diners. Our waitress was very sweet but obviously inexperienced and wasn't clear on how the high tea worked and it took about 40 minutes just to get the tea. Most disappointing was the bread. It was very dry and crumbly so sandwiches were falling or crumbling apart as we ate them. So as far as value is concerned, the high tea was not a good value in my opinion.

Horrible experience I asked for financial assistance what they could do if my male cat was blocked…read moreup because the surgery was gonna be 3,000-4,000 if he was blocked up (adding in he hasn't been seen by a vet yet) I told her my age and information and immediately told me they wouldn't be able to help and he needs to be brought in to a shelter to be surrendered to the closest shelter since I can't pay for the surgery not knowing if he is blocked up or not, Tammy the financial support told me that "I'm selfish keeping him and I need to surrender him by four" mind you it was 230 while we were on the phone. This devastated me so I called multiple other family members and they told me to get him checked out at a different vet because again he hasn't been seen and we don't know what's wrong, she then proceeds to send me a voicemail " know you're upset. Um, this is Tammy from Coast, Maine. I am so sorry that this is happening to you. I'm so sorry that this is happening to your cat, but in the best interest of the cat, if he can't pee, he is in incredible pain. Um, and it's only going to get worse. So, um, what we would like you to do is surrender him to the Lewiston Animal Emergency Clinic tonight. Um, they can unblock him and then we will go and get him tomorrow for his ongoing care. There's also going to be special food that he's going to need to be on. He might need to be on medications. If he gets blocked again, there's, unfortunately right now, in your financial circumstances, you're just not going to be able to do what he needs, for him to live a happy life, and I, I think that sucks and I'm so sorry. Um but in his best interests, we would like you to surrender him to the Lewiston Animal Emergency Clinic tonight. Um, and if you can't get there, um, then surrender him to our, uh, Brunswick campus as soon as possible. Um, so preferably before 4 today, um, and one of our staff could take him to the animal emergency clinic because our our, our vet has left for the day, probably in the next half I hate to be the one to give you this news. I really do, but there's just, you know, there's just no other way around it. um. If you would be able later on, you know to do his ongoing care. Then possibly to see about getting him back, but there's just no guarantee on that because we, we don't know everything that's going on with him. Um until he's seen by a vet so. Please feel free to call me." this is discrimination by age and by race I wish I could've recorded the call because she was completely different telling me I'm not gonna get him back and I shouldn't have a cat if I can't take care of him may I add in I have money to take him into a vet just not 3,000-5,000 she made it seem like there was no other option and I had to bring them in. This isn't OK and I will be reporting her if anybody else has any problems with her. Please report her because I have gotten in contact with multiple other people who have had the same struggle, her telling people to get rid of their animals, even though they have enough money. I believe she is very discriminating against people of race and people of age. I know a lot of people struggle and call her and actually can't take care of their cats, but that wasn't this case. Turns out he needed a food change and he was stressed I paid for the hole thing I just told her I couldn't pay the 3000,5000 dollar surgery she was telling me he needed, I believe it's because I told her my age and race, I just don't think it's OK cause other people wouldn't know to Bring their cat into a different vet and would end up giving up their Animal just to find out that it wasn't that serious just saying this as a warning please watch out and get your cat checked before you tell them anything. This isn't fair to people. I don't know how many animals she's done this too and whose knows if Those Other animals were euthanized or not after being surrendered again, please be careful this wasn't OK leave out your race if you can

On approval, I got to drive to Augusta to sorta "interview" dogs. Tigger, as I renamed him, chose me. He came up to me and put his head in my lap. The prior 2 dogs were a bit "standoffish." Once the selection was made, I found out that Maine GreyHound maintains responsibility for the dogs from cradle to grave. Had I been sick and could no longer care for the dog, they insist the dog be re-homed by them. They require the dog get a re-exam every 6 mos. They require that the dog never be let loose without a leash or a fenced back yard. They even organize search teams should your dog accidentally get free. As a retired race dog, he was fully house trained and even knew sign language commands! WowI Their Fostering system is second to none! I have never seen such strong stewardship for any other dog breed! Long story short, I had the 6 best years of my life with this beautiful brindle greyhound!
