Around 9 AM, I was told that they were "cleared out" but the display area was replete with whoopee pies of various types and six or so cream puffs. I bought a pistachio whoopee pie which had been dyed green with food coloring but had a nice pistachio taste. These whoopee pies are considerably larger that what you see elsewhere. The cream was good but a bit grainy in texture. I think that you will find this place hit or miss as it appears -from what they told me- that they do not have a set daily repertoire of items.

Stopped here for a coffee and hoped I would find a decent pastry. Well I ordered the blueberry…read morescone and a couple of plain croissants to go plus a cappuccino. Coffee was good as was the croissant but I the scone was heavy and did not taste of blueberry so I would not reorder that. Plain croissants were ok Views of the river and hayfields are quite beautiful. There is one table outside and plenty inside in addition to the counter inside which also has some nice views. Service was polite and helpful but indoors is not wheelchair accessible as there is a step to get inside and the parking area is gravel.

Early September I stayed for a week in Elizabeth's room at Elsa's. If there was a word for better…read morethan perfect, I would use it. The property was gorgeous, the room was spacious yet still felt cozy and had the perfect view of the harbor (across the street!) The inn keepers were so warm, kind and helpful. Especially Ryan, possibly the sweetest person I've ever met. And THE BEST breakfast. They even left me a card on my birthday which was so thoughtful- I was on a solo trip for my 30th. The location was ideal for me. It is off the island so you drive about an hour to get to most of Acadia but the drive is so stunning and goes by fast. MUCH preferred to some noisy, packed hotel in Bar Harbor. Trust me on that. Plus, the night sky is way more breathtaking without all the lights from town. And it's a few minutes from the Schoodic part of the park which is perfect for catching the sunset after a long day of exploring. there are also so many perfect little local spots to eat at right up the road (but be warned, things close early around here!) Will definitely be coming back. Thanks again for being my home away from home on the best birthday adventure I could imagine.

While we enjoyed the caretaker the property was not represented upon our booking that it would be…read morein repairs/restoration during our stay. There was garbage and debri from the repairs/renovations all over the backyard which was visible from our room. There was garbage on the front porch and outside our room and an overgrowth of weeds (not native wild, just unattended walkway weeds) which took away from the BnB ambiance. There wasn't a blind in the window in the bathroom just sheer curtains which to me is the most intimate room so we had to use a couple of my dresses for privacy. There was a coffee maker in the room but upon use we realized it only had decaf and when explained to the caretaker she did not resolve the issue by giving us regular coffee her response was just "oh". The bathtub had not been cleaned as we noticed there was hair all over and dirt in it. Very disappointed as we really hoped for a romantic stay :(

The chocolate had an off flavor/spice that we couldn't quite identify. We also got a cream filled horn filled with a vanilla cream- ok but not much vanilla flavor and stabilized with a bit too much gelatin. The iced pumpkin coffee cake was the best of all the desserts- warm spices contrasting nicely with the creamy icing. The cinnamon roll was also good with plenty of cinnamon.
