    Cute little store! Would have loved some gelato if it wasn't out of season. Coffee was good. I appreciated that stationery paper was available for purchase, even though I didn't need any.

    Very charming, old school variety store with gifts, candy, and home made gelato. The flavors are changing and delicious. It's a sweet treat that's hard to beat!

    We wanted ice cream after hiking Mt Acadia and this was the closest. They had an outdoor seating area which was nice to sit with our dog. We both had ginger. Price was fair.

    Book store, coffee shop, Maine souvenirs. Friendly service. It was the only place I could find my morning coffee in the quaint village of Northeast Harbor on Mt. Desert Island, Maine. Most places were closed because it was past peak season and because of Covid. We were there to visit Acadia National Park and were not disappointed. Beautiful.

    Hot coffee on a cold, off season day, and got to pet Oscar the dog

    The gelato was a bit too sweet for my liking but the texture was good and the store was very cute.

    Went to this little quaint shop on a whim during a roadtrip, and turned out to be a very memorable stop on my entire trip in Maine. My cappuccino was tasty & smooth. I was greeted at the door by Oscar, the sweet lab. Owner/barista was friendly. I'm sad this can't be my daily coffee stop.

    This is such a nice place to stop if you're in northeast harbor! They have a great iced mocha, the staff is super friendly, and last time I was in I got to see Oscar! The sweet, lovable chocolate lab! Definitely turned a rough morning into a great day. I highly recommend
