This place is amazing! We had been eating pretty heavy food throughout our vacation and was craving something healthy. We came across this place and was so happy we did! The food is super fresh and healthy. I customized a veggie flatbread and my husband got a steak meal. Everyone who worked there was so nice and the chef even came out to see how I liked her creation! Highly recommend! read more

This restaurant was a happy surprise. I had the Buddha Bomb with salmon and my partner had the beef stew. Both were excellent but the beef stew was outstanding! The flavors were complex and sophisticated and both dishes were satisfying but not heavy. The atmosphere is very simple and the staff was accommodating and pleasant. read more

Conscious Cafe - Life changing - Cafes Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

Lovely people -- but way overpriced for what you get. Very disappointing. Won't go back

Cute cafe spot with a nice outdoor seating area. The food menu looked tasty and healthy, but my family and I just stopped by for coffee drinks. We ordered a Buddha bullet, Dirty Punjabi, and a drip coffee. The Buddha bullet and drip coffee were very watered down and lukewarm, not good at all. We like this the cafe and will give it another try soon. We hope this one bad experience was an anomaly. read more

We stopped here after a long drive. Hungry and tired. Food was great. They had a a great menu and there was something for all -meat lover to vegetarian. We had the buddy bowl, soup, and two sandwiches. We loved all of it. Owners were very nice even giving us blankets against the Maine chill. Quick service. Nice area to eat on the deck. Quiet and peaceful. Would highly recommend read more

During our vacation in Maine, my wife and I ate here twice. Delicious, healthy food here. I had the chicken sandy (sandwich) and my wife had the Buddha bowl. Sooo good! The staff even went out of their way to accommodate my wife's aversion to dairy. Don't let the healthy menu deter you - the food is exploding with flavor, attention to detail, and love. Stop in and check this place out. read more

Simple but beautiful place with delicious dishes with nutritive value, friendly Chef Natasha, the owner of the place and friendly staff. Chef is gracious and humble to accept suggestions to make food even better. We tried 2 of their teas which were excellent. Definitely try their khichidee soup (whole vegetarian meal). Last but not the least is their clean facilities. This was like home away from home. read more

Stopped in here for lunch on our way out of town today and have not stopped raving about our meal. I ordered the earthy Buddha bowl with chicken and it was phenomenal - highly recommend. My fiancé ordered the kale salad with chicken and it was a warm salad which was unexpected but very tasty. Also had a cup of coffee which was the best coffee we've had in quite awhile. Overall really enjoyed our meal here and sad we don't have this closer to home! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a "clean" meal in the area read more

Amazing food, ambience, and great service. This is a gem right outside Acadia national park

Amazing food! Nice service and atmosphere. Chia tea was so good I had two cups. Salad and bowls were delicious

I was delightfully surprised, really nice people, Buddha Bowls with different combinations of fresh healthy ingredients are absolutely delicious... can't wait yo go back again! read more

Menu confusing. Still looks like Denny's inside. Not really a sushi offering. Not sure what kind of food is being offered.

I was so thankful that we stopped here on our way to Bar Harbor. I had the Earthy Budda Bowl which was exactly what I needed after too much rich food in Portland. My husband had the Maple Mustard Seared Salmon with Sauteed Spinach Mushrooms & Sweet Potato Mash and it was literally the BEST thing we ate on vacation! It was also refreshingly affordable compared to all the touristy restaurants. We ate inside because it was cold out but their patio looked especially lovely. read more

We were driving through town and decided we needed to get a bite to eat for lunch. We saw this place and decided to try it, so, so glad we did. Everything is homemade and prepared with so much care. I had the kitchadee soup with the addition of their pulled beef. So savory and delicious. Also tried the beef noodle broth. Also absolutely delicious. Do try the homemade chai tea. The restaurant was also 100% wheelchair accessible, with a push button front door and nice sized bathrooms. Totally worth a stop in town. read more

Delicious food. The Caesar Salad is a favorite and the traditional chai was rich and warming. Friendly staff and cozy setting.

Amazing food, wonderful staff. About as clean food as you're going to find anywhere outside of your own kitchen. Love.

I enjoyed my Earthy Buddha bowl but a tad too oily for me and very light on mushrooms. My husband had the Beef Sammy and he said it was very good. read more

Loved this restaurant. Well worth marking on the map as you decide exactly how many lobster pounds is enough.

quaint and cozy environment. the cafe was very accommodating with lots of options. the sweet and spicy buddha bowls were recommended and throughly enjoyed. (not spicy at all). they even make vegan cookies! really cool place! read more

I went to Steamy Buddha with friends one warm evening in October. We sat on the outside deck and enjoyed the view of the nearby gardens and woods. I loved the food. It's so nice to experience healthy, flavorful meals when someone else does the cooking! read more

AMAZING healthy food that tasted delicious! I had a earthy bowl which was warm, tasty and so flavorful! I was so happy they also had healthy juices, I had the green energizer juice which came fully packed with pea protein. I also got to taste the watermelon spritzer which they make in-house and I loved the subtle taste of ginger . Natasha was super friendly and accommodating and it was a great start to our Acadia vacation! read more

Amazingly good food, nice outdoor patio and peaceful grounds. Glad for all the other reviews - that is why we picked this restaurant on our way out of Bar Harbor. So happy we found this place. We got the earthy Buddha bowl, kale salad and Buddha BLT. All wonderful choices. Like the other reviews say - come here. You will not be disappointed! read more

I stumbled upon the Steamy Buddha Cafe while going over the river and through the wood this Christmas visiting family in Ellsworth ,ME. The first person I met was a visiting Bikram instructor named Rhupi. She was welcoming and lead an amazing class. The hot room was warm and inviting. There were little white Christmas lights and the room had the gentle scent of jasmine. At the end of the 90 minute class Rhupi sang beautiful 8,000 year old chants and placed a cold lightly- scented towel on my forehead. What an attention to detail. She taught us how to smile and enjoy our time there. After class I had the opportunity to indulge in the cafe. The food was delicious. Most is local (when available)and the owner Keagan wanted to make sure that our dietary needs were taken care of. I had the roasted Kale salad with potato soup. My daughter had the Buddha bowl. Thankfully my family is planning on staying in Ellsworth for years to come so I can continue to frequent this delightful place that is nourishing to my body and soul! read more

Comfy vegan food near Acadia - not much to say past that, kind of what you'd expect in Berkeley but with nicer staff and admittedly way more meat options. read more

This place was so good!! We went there last minute after a long drive to Maine and it hit the spot. I'm vegan and there is only so many places that have vegan food. I would highly recommend!! read more

Best food ever! Great service and nothing disappointed us. Don't waste time eating at anything on Main Street. Doesn't look like much from the outside but trust me, amazing meal. read more

WOW! The food was amazing! Wonderful menu with highest quality ingredients! The chef carefully prepares each dish with whole foods and herbs. I felt energized the next day and hiked 12 miles at Acadia. I had the salmon entree that was served with sweet potatoes, mushrooms, spinach and beets. I ordered the beet apricot salad to go and had it for lunch at Acadia the following day. The best food I've had during the past week! read more

This place was such a treat; our party of six enjoyed everything we tried. Lovely outside area with grassy space for the kids to run around. Super friendly service to boot. read more

Fourth time here and I will just say this place is a hidden gem of Downeast Maine. Today's choice for lunch the nautical Buddha bowl. A large helping of cauliflower rice, kelp and applewood smoked dulce cooked in a lemon vinaigrette topped with salmon, avocado, peppers and onions cooked in there house maple Dijon sauce. This creation gives any foodie a flavor explosion from the second you take your first bite. The presentation is nice lots of color and only the freshest ingredients. To wash it all down a house made iced Chaga tea with maple syrup. Probably one of the healthiest places to eat in the area and with that I give this meal an A++. read more
