Out of nowhere, going through the tiny town of Cherryfield, there was the cheerful green building that is the Paisley Loon, with their "open" sign fluttering in the wind next to the river. And it was open at 3pm! It was the perfect spot to grab an iced coffee and a quick sandwich: I had the grilled cheese, which was exactly what I needed. It was busy, with other folks sitting at tables and working locals stopping by to grab things to go. There's a range of coffee drinks, sandwiches, pastries, and ice cream--nothing fancy, but all done just right. Super friendly staff working too. What a great find, and so good to know there's a friendly little place to stop when you're traveling this way. Highly recommend!

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.

They make all their breads in house and offer a variety of breads, baguettes, bagels, not to mention the freshly baked pastries and sweets! My friend & I went in and were greeted warmly. The cashier struck up a conversation with us & was so kind. She overheard us talking about our daughters and told us we were so calm and laid back moms. The best compliment ever. We felt so hip I grabbed a steak baguette sandwich and the bread was phenomenal, as was the steak. The pastries were delicious, and our friend the cashier gave us a cookie on the house. SO nice. We will be back, daughters in tow, and hopefully we'll be able to try one of everything. Definitely stop here!
