One of the many reasons I love Maine is places like Puzzle Mountain. Honor system stands on the…read moreside of the road offering homemade goods. LOVE IT. We drove past on a Friday afternoon in mid-October and the stand was loaded with a variety of really well wrapped pies and whoopie pies. All of the ingredients clearly labeled, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, everything contained dairy and eggs. Bummer! I for sure would have bought some baked goods if there had been any vegan options available whatsoever (hint hint, nudge nudge; they [The Omnivores] won't even notice if you made something without dairy and eggs, but we [The Vegans]? We check every label. We'd know. We'd buy. We'd appreciate.). We did get a jar of blueberry jam for $10 and it's delicious! There's absolutely nothing like homemade jam your neighbor made, and that it's *such* a big jar for *such* a good price *and* they take Venmo?! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I wish I had bought a jar of strawberry-rhubarb too!

We ordered two pies for our Maine wedding--strawberry rhubarb and classic apple--and they were…read moreeverything we hoped for and more. The crust on both was perfectly flaky, buttery, and absolutely delicious. The strawberry rhubarb struck that just right balance of sweetness with a bright citrusy lift, and the apple was the kind of all-American comfort you dream about for a fall wedding. We picked the pies up in person, and Apple Shed was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Planning from Arizona could have been tricky, but they were so accommodating and incredibly helpful, making the whole process seamless from afar. Truly outstanding pies and equally outstanding people. Highly recommend!

Shady Tree Homestead is a hidden gem that I became aware of at a recent gun show in Augusta. Josh…read moreand Amy moved to Maine a within the last few years, is starting to build their farm, but are just as known for their bakery goods. They don't have an official retail store, but they have a heated shack that sits at the front of the property which houses all their freshly baked goods, freeze dried candies and farm fresh eggs. The shack is not manned and is trusted to the honor system. Baked goods are reasonably priced at $4. Fresh-baked bread is $6. Freeze dried candies are $3 and $6 depending on size. Granted these are prices at the writing of this review which could change if costs of goods increases. My wife and I had their freeze dried skittles which are phenomenal. The puff pastries and cream horns are incredibly yummy and not overly sweet.You can contact them and ask whether something is in stock or if they can set a few aside.

What an adorable cafe!…read more We stopped in before we headed home to have coffee and breakfast. We arrived at a quiet point in the morning rush, but they do get very busy! Service is friendly and fast though even when they're packed. I had a turmeric maple latte which was unique and delicious. Along with that I had the Mountain Mama sandwich which had an egg, hummus, goat cheese, and vegetables on a super soft English muffin. It was delicious! My husband had a hummus bagel with cucumbers and tomato and it was a great light start to the day. We also tried a ham and cheese croissant which was good. It was the softer bread style croissant and had chopped rosemary ham and cheese which was delicious, I only wished there was more of it! I brought a maple molasses cookie and a butterscotch cookie home. They were both so delicious and chewy! My only criticism is I wish there was a touch more salt, but I'm nitpicking. Highly recommend stopping in for a light breakfast or lunch, and taking some baked goods for the trail!

While I was in town for a wedding, I stopped by this bakery--and I'm so glad I did. Their cupcakes…read moreare incredible. The wedding we attended featured them, and after trying a few, I knew I had to visit the shop myself. They're perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and genuinely some of the best I've had. Their coffee is solid--definitely the best you'll find in this small town--and they offer a surprising variety of avocado toast options, all fresh and really thoughtfully put together. On top of that, the people who work here are so kind. It feels like the sort of place where everyone is happy to see you walk in. If you're passing through, or in town for an event like we were, this bakery is absolutely worth a stop.

You go in, look around, make some decisions and you are out the door. I got a lemon shortbread cookie to try. The breads that day were all yeast breads, and I just prefer sourdoughs. I loved the cookie I got, and the service was so kind. There were like four people behind the plastic wall, working so hard! I will be back to try the sourdoughs - just a preference. Parking is tight but people are coming and going quickly. You can also walk over from the main street. No tables, no where to sit, so keep that in mind if you plan on eating right away. I ate my cookie in the car!
