    Lovely little luncheonette stopped in for a bite and had a BLT with avocado on sourdough toast. Enjoyed the sandwich, service was good. Would visit again.

    Everything and more than all the reviews I read before stopping in. Great friendly service. Quality sandwiches, plentiful ice cream, delicious cookies, great selection with some daily specials. We went two days in a row. One day for lunch and ice cream, next day just for ice cream. Cute interior, popular venue. Stop in!

    A rudimentary plan to grab a sandwich at this place after dropping off some film at NP has worked in my favor. The waxing moon may be foreboding for some, but for me it was fortuitous. John, the owner and soda jerk extraordinaire, was managing the front of the shoppe, preparing a bag for one of the regular customers. After placing my order with the satisfying reaffirmations "Good choice!" I took a seat at the counter. Then another regular picking up and friendly banter. Before long, John and I were chatting it up as if I, too, were a regular. He's definitely one of the friendliest guys and runs one of the most charming little ice cream/soda bar/sandwich shops I've been into. Super charming interior that really does make you feel like you're slipping back into the 50's. I actually tried a couple of their sandwich options, one at the shop and the other to take home. They are most satisfying, and feel as though you're nine years old again, visiting your Aunt Ginny and Uncle Ed, enjoying sandwiches and chips in the yard without a care in the world.

    The Runaway with a twist.

    This is a perfect step into history. The food is amazing. This is pure favorite place to eat and top it off with a scoop or 2. The service is amazing, fast, and friendly. It's a step back in time, clean and old fashioned. F Brings history back to our small town.

    A walk into history...

    Delightful, old school ice cream and deli! Enjoyed the Moose Tracks and Butter pecan, hand dipped and done well! Yum! The walk down Front Street was lovely. Great stop in our drive-worth the detour.

    Cute place to grab lunch. There's also tons of ice cream to choose from. And root beer on tap!

    Shoddy service by young kids. No one seems to be in charge. Sandwich was ok. Definitely has gone down in the last couple of years.

    Since they serve Gifford's - it has to be good. Had a milk shake and another scoop in a cup. Both were great. Friendly staff.

    Seeing as the fountain is now the only place to get good ice cream in downtown bath, it's hard not to like it!

I walked in thinking I'd order something simple, but Jocelyn somehow anticipated exactly what I wanted before I even said it -- an oatmeal latte with honey infused right into the espresso. It was warm, silky, lightly sweet, and honestly one of the most thoughtful, dialed‑in drinks I've had anywhere. You can tell when someone really knows their craft, and she absolutely does. We also grabbed the curried chicken sandwich, which was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect balance of creamy and bright. It's the kind of sandwich that makes you pause mid‑bite and go, "Wait... this is really good." The whole place has that cozy‑local‑favorite energy -- friendly staff, great food, and the kind of coffee that makes you want to reroute your trip just to come back again. If you're driving through Freeport, Camden, or anywhere along the coast, Wild Oats is 100% worth the detour.

They just opened last week but I did get to talk to the ladies working there about the business. The Barn sells locally/Maine made jewelry, clothing, candles, soap, stationary, and more. Some of the items are reasonably priced. I bought a beautiful bracelet with crushed shells on the inside for $20, it was a steal! Other items were over $100 for sea glass jewelry. You really just have to browse the store, there's so many beautiful things inside. I really enjoyed browsing The Barn and felt good about purchasing locally made jewelry.

In the deli, I saw the WICKED VEGGIE WRAP on the menu and was looking forward to this that wrap that I enjoyed over the years. Very very disappointing... What my wife and I split was mostly lettuce with a sparse amount of cherry tomatoes, red onion and little else. Some mild dressing and that's about all it had. Quite tasteless actually, since it was mostly lettuce. The WICKED VEGGIE WRAP wrap that this store used to have consisted of a breaded eggplant slice, plenty of creamy hummus, roasted peppers, red onion, some lettuce and perhaps cheese. Very flavorful. They shouldn't be calling this the SAME thing as what the prior owner named it since it's not at all the same sandwich. This was also way overpriced for what they made for me. The gift store used to have some great items but now their inventory is quite different. Unfortunately, times do change.
