    Stopped in for a coffee and to meet friends at this very nice contemporary cafe. The staff know their craft and are very customer focused. There is a nice mix of local foods in the retail area along with some knick knacks and games for the home. Though I didn't try one, the whoopie pies look delicious.

    I absolutely loved this place! Went on a mini vacation to Maine and I’m so glad we stopped by. We got there a little later than usual and they close early, at 3pm I believe and we got there around 2:30pm. The waitress was super attentive and assured us that everything is made from scratch and she would do whatever we want on the menu. Food was awesome and super fresh. I came back the next day for coffee and it was delicious as well.

    This place is the bomb. We've started going every Sunday, everything is always delicious, ingredients are made in-house and so fresh. The breakfast burrito is unlike anything we've had before. It's to die for. You won't find a fresher breakfast sandwich bun. The staff has always been very kind and nice. It's worth every penny, every time. (Excuse the half eaten food, was too excited)

    It wasn't what I was expecting. Everything that was given to us was in paper as though we were take out diners. The food was very good as was the service.

    Great spot to stop at and grab some food. I usually get a breakfast bagel sandwich before I go fishing for the day. It used to be a really small building but now they built a much larger building next door with plenty of space for seating inside and outdoors. Besides offering food to order they have frozen pre-made food like dips for cookouts and different kinds of meat pies. They sell a selection of different cuts of local raised meats. Something else which I enjoy seeing is that they consign or sell several different artists work including painting, photographs, and different crafted items.

    AMAZING food! FULL BAR with amazing drinks as well ! The environment is awesome. They sell local art, Knick knacks, and have a FULL DELI. I have been recommending this place to everyone since I have been to this HIDDEN GEM. Also the waitress Gwen is the absolute sweetest, friendliness woman!

    Great little spot for solid breakfast and lunch items! Ordered take out twice during our trip to the area. Enjoyed the reuben, egg salad, and BLT sandwiches with side of fries. All were excellent! There is also a little shopping area with some local artists and jams/pickles/etc. they have a few freezers with different meats and another with frozen meals to go (chicken pot pie/mac and cheese/etc. Service was very friendly and food was made fast. Overall, a great place to stop for a meal or to get some food if you’re camping/vacationing nearby. We ordered our food to-go but they had lots of nice seating available and a bar. Lovely little spot!

    The best food spot you can ask for. They have it all! From lunch to fresh t-bone steaks, you can bring home and cook. The local finds are amazing. The atmosphere is very homey and comfortable. The food is amazing and arrives at your table piping hot and very quickly.
