Easy in and easy out! Perfect for a quick lunch break while at work. I CAN speak to the quality of their food, though! Every recipe for a sandwich or soup, or little side dish, salad is carefully and loving put together with perfect chops, perfect medley of flavors and textures to delight any taste buds. They have a few hot soups to choose from, and a few more cold in the fridge to take home with you for later. They offer a wide range of baked goods, popcorn and potato chips. Plus a nice cooler of more boujee drinks! I love going in to find what they have new in there! They sell POPPI!!! What makes this interesting is, the menu lineup changes WEEKLY. So they'll post what that week's menu will be on Facebook, with pictures! I love that. My favorite sandwich is their "Autumn Chicken Salad" (they sell it all year) I like to call it my fruit cake chicken salad! It's VERY unique. Sweet and savory at the same time, extremely addictive and satisfying. I CRAVE that.

It had a lemon, chive seasoning, which made it unique ($38). The chicken salad wrap was good. Their baked items looked great. There was a small seating area in an enclosed porch as well as two picnic tables outside. They did not have a public restroom, which was disappointing. The staff was friendly, all wearing matching aprons There are several gift items in the store. It is worth mentioning that the store is on a sharp corner and parking can be a little tricky.

What a hidden gem in a town i've never visited before. I decided to make it to brunch for mother's…read moreday weekend and i really can't recommend this spot enough for a delicious and down to earth meal with people you love. I think the space is very cozy, with an open kitchen and wood tables and bar. The cute little market in back is wonderful to check out before or after your meal. The staff is absolutely wonderful. So kind and making recommendations along with answering any questions you have. I think for the price of food you are really getting a great deal. Everything is made fresh in house from scratch which you can watch when you sit at the bar which i did. Watching orange juice wbu freshly squeezed and the donuts being put together from absolute scratch. The burger is definitely a great choice, I couldn't get over the house cut fries and the alna sauce was wonderful to dip them in. The burger was juicy and delicious and paired perfectly with the Volcanique red they had on the menu. My mother ordered the grits and eggs, this dish was cooked perfectly and had a house made salsa verde. The side of sourdough is a must get for shareable side. The house made jam was spectacular - they make every sauce and dip and spread in house and you can really tell. It elevates the meal so much. The drinks were a bit overpriced in my opinion but as someone who lives in Portland i wasn't surprised they were priced that way. The standout from the meal was definitely the sour dough donut. This was fried fresh to order and we had the seasonal flavor that was lime glazed and it was absolutely breathtaking! The crispy exterior with the fluffy inside was perfection - you have to order this. I definitely will need to come and check out dinner here. Highly recommend making the trek out!

A place like The Alna Store really does need to be located in rural Maine, a solid hour from…read morePortland. Everything about The Alna Store is so special--it's possibly the best meal you will ever have, while inside the most unpretentious building, an actual store that sells produce and specialty gift items. A place like this should be experienced as a planned outing, not just a restaurant that's happened upon. A James Beard Award winning restaurant inside what could have been my grandparents' barn, along with beautifully mismatched silverware and repurposed green wine bottle water glasses--what could be more Maine? On both visits we were so excited that we arrived about a half hour early for our reservation, yet were welcomed and promptly seated. The service is excellent, and the food is next level out of this world. I couldn't help but want the person I was with to try what I was eating so we could try to parse out the complex flavors in each dish. Is that a tomato base? Chives? Ginger? Cucumber? We enjoyed every bite of every plate. Both times we started with the gazpacho, at dinner it was served with a grilled/toaster piece of sourdough focaccia. Fantastic! My dinner entree was the grilled squash with roasted peppers and delicious, flavorful breadcrumbs, and fresh mint leaves--it was our favorite plate of the meal. We both had desserts (pictured), the cake looked impressive as it tasted, yet the berry crisp was our favorite. Everything at dinner was so fabulous that I had to return, this time for brunch. We started with a couple of cups of our favorite Tandem coffee, again the gazpacho, and this time tried the ratatouille. Again, the flavors! How do they do it? Everything looked and tasted as if it was prepared with care. One more observation, how mistakes are handled: the person I had brunch with was vegan and the ratatouille came out with cheese. Our server promptly recognized the error, brought a remade dish, and at the end of the meal brought a complimentary vegan sorbet and said that "mistakes are celebrated", which we appreciated. Because of all of the much deserved accolades The Alna Store has recently received (James Beard, New York Times), the parking lot was full of out of state plates from Massachusetts, Maryland, Oregon, so be sure to make a reservation, and enjoy the people watching while you eat possibly the best meal of your life. We are so fortunate to live within an hour of this very special place. A solid five stars, please don't change a thing. I can't wait to try the fall menu!

Continuing our drive north we came across the famous Moody's Diner that's known for their pies & down home cooking. They cook their own turkey so a turkey club is a must. For me it was either a 1/2 # lobster roll or a Percy burger with Swiss, onion & mushrooms. The burger was the juiciest burger I've ever had & I had a hard time getting it around my mouth. I managed to eat 3/4 of it & took the rest back to our B&B for later. We also had a side of awesome onion rings. If you've never been go eat & enjoy Maine cooking & hospitality. A factoid: They serve over 55,000 pieces of pie a year. Off to Whitehall B&B to rest up, go sightseeing & have an extraordinary dinner the night before our 37th anniversary. I forgot look at the size of this oatmeal raisin cookie we bought. Biggest cookie I've ever seen. BTW: Kris ordered a slice of strawberry rhubarb pie, she didn't like it. I passed on dessert.

Extremely rude and disrespectful to me for simply asking if they served mimosas , to which he replied yes . When I asked for one he was not sure if that was allowed , to have a mimosa while you wait twenty -30 minutes for a table. So when he directed me to a two top out front to have a seat in the shade I said thank you and now I'd like a mimosa. To which he said " mam I am NOT serving you a mimosa"! He was unsure of himself and uneducated on the restaurant ins and outs. We will not be back to give it a second chance.

All of them were AMAZING! The passion fruit lemonade is also awesome. I personally loved the turkey! The flavors blended so seamlessly and the pressed sandwich was perfect for lunch. The group favorite was the chicken souvlaki which was super tasty especially with the tzatziki. We did takeout but there were a bunch of tables and chairs to sit. The owner was SO friendly and extremely helpful when we asked questions about the menu. My favorite lunch spot in town for sure!!! I'm confident everything is tasty!
