We were greeted by a friendly server The menu was diverse, and all the dishes seemed well curated. They serve local coffee! I had the generously portioned sweet potato and scrambled egg bowl. My husband ordered corned beef eggs Benedict with home fries. It was unfortunate that his home fries were cold and rather dried up. The server offered to bring out fresh home fries. then the front of the house manager brought our bill and discounted the tab greatly. He was very apologetic. We definitely would go back based on this customer service. Worth mentioning, there is a side entrance that is handicap accessible (the main entrance on Centre Street has steps leading up to it). But if one wanted to go to the bakery counter from that entrance, there are a few steps to get to that level.

Sadly her entire front end is just as mean, stuck up, rude, narcissistic, and judgemental gossips like her. I miss the team that took care of us during and right after the pandemic. Don't let your kids get jobs there, they will either become snobs or be emotionally scarred. Curious what happened to most of the past employees. Bet they have stories. Prices are way to high anyways. I haven't seen one locally owned place around here anyways that treats their real employees the right way. 3rd bad experience in this town, should have listened to the warnings

I just wanted to try everything because not only was it presented beautifully, it was baked with love and that is very evident. Start your day with any variety of bread, lunch is covered there as well, and make sure you make it by 7pm for a delicious gelato for desert. Why the 4-star after all this gushing? Their espresso is inexcusably bad for having such a high bar for everything else they're doing here. Clean that up, and this place goes from being really good, to untouchable.

Right next door (connected on the inside) is a seating area for eating in, where they also serve gelato and coffees. This place is a gem. I wish it was a little closer to my home, but now that I know about it, I will stop in every time I go to or through Bath. We tried several items, ate some there, and brought some home. We tried the pizza, a veggie frittata, and 3 Cornetti which is an Italian version of croissants, slight denser, just as flakey, just a buttery, maybe even more delicious. We tried the almond, the raspberry and the chocolate...all were incredible. They also have a nice selection of bottled Italian soft drinks. I tried the rose water. The fragrance and flavor of rose was amazing. Will definitely be back.

Our first visit to Zellie's did not disappoint!…read more Upon arrival, we were greeted by Leon, the owner, who was so nice + friendly. The food truck was cute and inviting. Zellie's is located right by the waterfront in Bath and was very easy to find. We've driven through downtown dozens of times but this was our first visit. I ordered the Strawberry Cheesecake Mousse Parfait special and it was delicious! Loved the layers of cheesecake mousse, brown butter graham cracker and strawberry soft serve. My husband ordered the Maine Strawberry Soft Serve on a sugar cone. We had our kids along with us -- one ordered the Maine Strawberry Soft Serve with Chocolate Sprinkles and the other ordered Strawberry/Vanilla Soft Serve with Rainbow Sprinkles. We enjoyed our treat right along the water. We all left with happy bellies! We will definitely be back again!

We knew we wanted ice cream to bring home and they had pre packaged pints for what we wanted, and for the "special" that day, they created a package so we could get it back land enjoy. Super creamy vanilla, and a Vanilla graham cracker mix that was crunchy and smooth (I know, a wonderful contradiction). We try to get to Maine once a vacation season, hope we can make a detour next time and support these folks again. Pleasant and positive with a great product!

The line up is an eclectic mix of Maine products and vendors. Whether you need a sweater (or her lamb), specialty vinegars (and recipes), or any other delicious housewarming or holiday present, the market offers a diverse array of products besides the organic produce and other goodies. We like providing them to our VRBO guests too. We do wish they would move Hootenanny's Bread to the south end of the market near Dharma Farms and Kelly Bros beef-- it would reduce the congestion from the long lines and make the "main street" of the market more enjoyable. The market moves indoors with fewer vendors in November-- being in the historic freight shed is a little more crowded but also cozy as the winter months progress. And our freezer is never without a Mainely Poultry pot pie or two, some haddock "burgers", or a Chase Farms apple pie. It's our kids (and their kids) favorite activity when they visit.

Not only is this waterfront market the most picturesque place imaginable in autumn, but all the…read morestellar vendors also have delicious things for sale AND personality to spare. Grab yourself some totally goattly chipotle cheese, a few loaves from the Van Gogh of Dough, and some chicken legs from Maine-ly Poultry. And even if they aren't punny, pick up some fresh eggs, crab dip, squash, sage bundles for spiritual wellness, handmade candles, peppers of all kinds, shepherd's pie, heritiage pork, and the best jam ever. That's just a little bit of the selection. And if you tell the folks selling bulbs for your garden that you don't have a garden because you lead a sad life in NYC, they will offer a sympathetic, "Awwww." But my favorite thing about this market? There was a little kid trying to buy a pumpkin, and he dropped it. The nice vendor said he could still have it, but now it's a squash. I'm going to be using that dad joke for decades to come.

TLDR: Linden + Front does neighborhood new American better than anyone else in the midcoast…read more L + F is easily the best restaurant in city and they consistently knock it out of the park on all fronts. The staff are some of the kindest, most accommodating people in the business--the bartenders in particular are always willing to work with you to find exactly the cocktail you're in the mood for. The food is fresh and local. In particular the partnership with Bath's local butcher shines through in their meats, but there are plenty of options for vegetarians as well. They're also one of the only restaurants around where I feel confident I can bring my partner who has celiac. He's eaten here multiple times and the staff have always been understanding and able to accommodate him. The atmosphere strikes a lovely balance that feels sophisticated enough for an event or special occasion, but just as welcoming if you want to sit at the bar after work and have a French onion burger and drink.

Racism! I was just refused entry at this restaurant. Supposedly, I had made racist comments about…read moresomeone last time I was there. He obviously had spoken with an accent and was brown. I've traveled a lot, have visited 69 countries and lived in 8, know languages, and I am always curious about people. He said he was Puerto Rican. I had said, "what brought you to Maine thats not an obvious first choice from the tropics?" He had said something like he got an opportunity from Puerto Rico worked at their waterfront restaurant. And I said something like yeah I know you didn't just swim here. Thought we had a good chat etc. Two months later I am supposedly racist and banned from there. And the chef that barred entry said he had heard me say something about "swimming here," me sitting at a table while he was in the kitchen. Preposterous! Wowie prickly weird, I won't be going to any of their family restaurants and am telling everyone too.
