The mocha just didn't taste quite right, and while the iced coffee wasn't bad, it wasn't anything that stood out. I'd be willing to give the coffee another try, though. That said... the sandwiches are AMAZING. I built my own with roast beef, and they were incredibly generous with the deli meat. The sourdough bread was absolute perfection. They also offer free WiFi with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great spot to work remotely or enjoy lunch. I spent about three hours here and would definitely come back. One thing to keep in mind: they're right in the center of town, so it stays busy. There was a line nearly the entire time I was there, but don't let that discourage you. Even with the line, both my drinks and food were ready within just a few minutes of ordering. Great service despite the crowds!

I'd love to return on a nice day with my book. The inside of the cafe is similarly adorable and they have a wide range of dessert offerings. We had a hard time choosing two drinks from the huge menu, and eventually settled on a Campfire Cold Brew and Banana Bread Chai. The server was incredibly helpful in helping me figure out what I wanted, as I was trying to avoid caffeine. The Banana Bread Chai was very delicious, although it could have been a bit thicker and could've used a little more banana flavoring. I'm comparing it to the Starbucks banana bread latte, which I actually prefer, although I'm not a huge Starbucks fan. The Campfire Cold Brew was tasty and had lots of chocolate syrup, but the coffee also tasted a little bitter and watery.

Traveling up Route 1 my wife and I were on the lookout for a coffee spot! We stopped nearby looking…read morearound the area and once I saw mentions of them having goats, I knew we needed to stop. Good sized parking lot and while I believe they have an inside area we went to the order window to grab coffees and enjoy the nice weather. They have food but we had already eaten so will need to return later on. Besides the typical drinks they offered some good seasonal drinks as well. I ended up going with Strawberry Fields, that had an incredible flavor to it. My wife got their Maude's Mocha and really enjoyed it as well. Top notch drinks by far, worthy of returning to. While we did enjoy the drinks the mention of them having goats was a huge reason for coming by. Besides goats, they also have some chickens. Both areas have some picnic tables to enjoy your food and drinks. They had roughly 5 or 6 goats and we got all of them to come over for some love and scratches. Goats are one of my favorite animals since I've worked with them for so many years and loved meeting some new ones. One had a feisty attitude but even she came around and enjoyed scratches on her withers(back). A coffee shop worth stopping at for friendly service with a smile, tasty coffee and cute goats!

"Oh, daddy You soothe me with your smile…read moreYou're letting me know You're the best thing in my life" (Fleetwood Mac) We were in Wells on the past weekend, and to our surprise not all of the ice cream shops had opened for the season. Some were, some weren't. But fortunately, Big Daddy's were! And to prove it, there was one helluva healthy line of customers waiting to get their frozen fix in a cup or a cone. They have around 50 ice cream flavors, plus some sorbets, sherberts, and yogurts. We were so intrigued by one of their flavors that we both ordered it. I mean, c'mon, when have you ever seen Banana Chocolate Chip on a menu? It was excellent. Smooth and creamy with a definite banana flavor and plenty of chocolate chips. A Kiddie portion was a pricey $6.95, but in all fairness, that Kiddie portion was equal in size to some of the "small" scoops we've had over the years at various ice cream joints. Big Daddy has four locations in the Wells, Ogunquit, and Kennebunkport area, so if you're up this way during the summer, you won't be too far from experiencing an experience with Big Daddy!

We stopped at Bar Harbor Cheesecake for a unique treat. First of all the ambiance is elegant and quite different from the Dock Square area. They are a cheesecake business, but I think they serve wine as well. However all of the cheesecakes are in wine refrigerators with chill lighting so you totally feel like you are in a wine bar. Great vibe! After close examination we picked the blueberry lemon ( and a phenomenal cinnamon roll). This might be the best cheesecake I've ever had. The flavor was BURSTING with every bite! Definitely pricey, but worth it to experience.

It happens. You're…read moresitting at home, on an off peak season Sunday night, and you get a craving... the old sweet tooth kicks in, and given the day, the hour, and the time of year, you know your options to satisfy that sweet urge are going to be slim to nil. I mean, after 9pm even the grocery stores with their "meh" bakeries are closed. What I did was open Yelp!, and expand my search area a little, and I''m glad I did... because it turns out, Portland isn't the only option for foodies (or in this case, "munchies") in Maine. Because there's a little coastal town just a bit south called "Kennebunk". I know. It sounds completely made-up, but I assure you, it's a real place. So, even though I was born and raised in Maine, and I've never heard of this oddly named little town that sounds like a cross between a manufactured tourist trap and a summer warehouse facility for political dynasties... I was kind of amazed by the Yelp restaurant listings... Portland gets all the "foodie Buzz" in the press, but it looks like some of the spots in and around this Kennebunk could seriously give Portland's reputation a run for its money. I think some summer outings are in my future. But I digress... Once I filtered the returns by hitting the "Open Now" button, Bar Harbor Cheesecake popped up, front and center. They've got an hours of operation befitting a fictional business in a made-up town... 11:11am - 11:11pm...?!? C'mon... that's just a joke... it must be... open on a Sunday night... after 6pm... in April... in Maine...?!? It's TRUE. it's all True. I made the 20-some odd mile drive, expecting nothing but a "Ha Ha!" Sign taped to the window of an abandoned storefront... But what I got instead was a friendly (if somewhat lonely), helpful staffer who greeted me warmly, asked if it was my first time, and then guided me through the offerings. For the record, I went with the "Blueberry Crumble Cheesecake", and not just because it was the most expensive thing on offer, but because when you find yourself at an improbable time, in an unlikely spot, with seemingly unattainable desires, you go BIG. Indulge. Swing for fences, go for broke, break the bank, go the extra mile.... And have "Dessert for Dinner": Because you're an adult, and you deserve it. as for the cheesecake...? O. M. G. Is it the best I've had...? Dunno. But I can't remember ever having better. It was also filling enough that I only ate half and had the rest the next morning with coffee... it was still great the next day, btw. Frankly, at that point I was starting to see it as "good value for money". FWIW, there are a handful of Bar Harbor Cheesecakes sprinkled around the country, so maybe keep an eye out for them... Barring that, this one is definitely worth checking out... the only downside was I kind of had to hustle to get to a coffee place before they all closed... (FWIW: Aroma Joes in Saco was open until 11pm, so Win-Win for Me...!!!)
