Stopped by to breakfast and ordered the salmon bagel and a tropical sunrise smoothie. Cute place…read more Fast service. However, the salmon bagel (lox) was THE worst I've ever had in my entire life. Bland, bagel wasn't toasted enough, and salmon was turning. No capers. Disgusting. I ate half of it simply because I was hungry and needed sustenance. May as well have been cat food. The sunrise smoothie was equally bland. Looked nothing like the photo. My smoothie was a pale pink whereas the photo has a smoothie that looks orange like a sunrise. Overpriced garbage. I won't be back.

Reasonably priced, small breakfast menu. Not a ton to offer in terms of pastries, but everything looked great. A freezer stocked with homemade dinner pies; Adorable Maine-centric gifts and art; An interesting collection of wines for sale... I believe it was the proprietor, who was the sole person behind the counter when we went. He was very friendly. Temper your expectations, because it is not a big French bakery, or an artisan bread or full diner breakfast kind of place. But it is quirky, satisfying, and does what it does really well.

I stopped in for a quick breakfast sandwich and pastry to-go. There weren't a ton of options for sweets, but I did stop by in November. I'm appreciative that it was even open, as most local spots close in the "off" season. The breakfast sandwich was so unique! There were scallions cooked into the fried eggs, which was a super interesting, flavorful touch. My pastry was a maple oatmeal cookie sandwich. Holy. Moly. This was insanely good! I'd stop again to try some other pastries.

Was 1:40 pm on a Saturday, luckily they were still open and 17 donuts were left. Some plain, some cinnamon sugar, a few marbled chocolate and vanilla. Absolutely delicious! Great texture, not too sweet , just the right size. We gobbled them up. Next time I'm up Down East, I'll definitely be stopping by again, hopefully earlier in the day to try more kinds. If you like donuts, include Only in your travel plans. Folks who live nearby, y'all are lucky!

I couldn't get up the icy steps with my cane, so I sent my wife to get me a doughnut. Honestly, it was okay, but didn't really taste like brioche and it just felt like a perfunctory donut. It didn't really taste of German Chocolate either, which I ordered, but it was huge and rather light. Perhaps it was a off day, as I really didn't have a knock your socks off experience. The owner was sweet, and kind. I would try it again, but I wouldn't get what I ordered again.

Service, ambiance and food 5 stars. We recently had a…read morefabulous Middle Eastern dinner. Ordered the lamb with Orzo... mouth watering with incredible taste snd texture, falafel (Best ever and as a New Yorker of the Jewish persuasion I've eaten a lot of falafel) was incredibly moist. The accoutrements that went with it were outstanding and tasty as well. The three of us shared those two entrées as well as the beet salad which was scrumptious. The cocktails were fabulous... We enjoyed the margaritas which were fruity, flavorful and refreshing . For dessert, we shared the chocolate Babka . Don't tell my Bubbie that it was even better than hers. The only disappointment is that they close for the season, and that's what makes the place extra special for us . See you next year !

The Hoot continues its long tradition of inconsistent food and service…read more We arrived without reservation , the dining room was half full. We were seated promptly and waited 45 minutes for our food. I wouldn't object completely to the long wait , but the food that arrived was lackluster , and barely worth a mention here. I had eggs Benedict , eggs were overcooked and cold. My partner ordered the shasuka. This was an odd presentation with the eggs and sauce in a broiler dish , with pita bread and spinach on the side. I always assumed eggs and spinach , and sauce should all be together. Like so many restaurants I encounter in Maine , it's not that the food or service is that bad, but rather the fact that with minimal effort , it could be so much better.

Diplomatic Community…read more Great boutique grocery store located in Downtown Belfast that has lots of locally produced fruits, veggies, and goods, like some locally-made kimchi we picked up that was fantastic. The Good: *It's important to note that since this is a "co-op," that it's a community-owned organization; anyone can apply to be an owner for $200/year which includes discounts and other benefits. *The store was clean, organized, and stocked with all manner of goodies. *Friendly employees The Meh: *Probably not a "complete" grocery store in regards to the products they carry, if that makes sense. Probably more in-line with a higher-end Trader Joe's than a typical grocery store. The Ugly: *Located in Downtown Belfast, the parking can always be a little dicey especially during the tourist season. Conclusion: Great grocery store to visit if you're staying nearby at an AirBnB and need some food stuff to cook up at home.

Owen's General Store in Lincolnville is anything but your typical general store. It's a little gem…read morefull of character and small-town charm. The storefront is adorable with its red barn color and Victorian vibe, and inside you'll find cozy seating areas both indoors and outdoors, perfect for lingering a bit after shopping. The staff here are beyond friendly and helpful. In fact, this is the very place where the "blueberry pie survey" happened. We asked the lady behind the register where to find the best blueberry pie, and she started to ask customers who came by who they recommended. They directed us to Moody's Diner. Locals and staff alike are quick to share stories and recommendations, which makes it feel like you're part of the community even if you're just passing through. The store itself is full of surprises. They've got a wood-burning pizza oven (yes, in a general store, how cool is that?), hot lattes, teas, and other comforting drinks, because nothing beats sipping a latte in a Victorian-style shop while digging into a fresh out of the wood burning oven gooey cheesy slice of pizza. Add in their great selection of beer and wine, plus Maine classics like whoopie pies and Moxie soda, and you've got something for everyone. A local gentleman even gave me the full history of Moxie, and that kind of friendliness is exactly what makes this place so special. Outside, you'll find pretty flowers and herbs adding to the charm. Owen's is quaint, welcoming, and one of those stops that makes a Maine trip extra memorable. Definitely worth a visit or 5! I'll most def be going back!

I have looked for an excuse my entire life to travel the Maine simply to eat lobster that was fresh…read morecaught on the coast. Over five days, we tried six different seafood restaurants in the hunt for the best lobster roll in Maine. The finale was at Young's lobster Pound and they did not disappoint. We had both fresh caught and boiled lobster, it was cooked well and a great experience. The more important part of our stop was the lobster roll, it was the best traditional main lobster roll we had on our trip. The amount of lobster was above average, the tenderness of the lobster on the roll was perfect, there was only a light bit of mayo on the roll and warm butter was poured over the mountain of lobster. This did not have your traditional type role, they did it on a toasted and butter round type bun, this had me a bit curious as to why, after eating, I realized it was so you could manage the massive amount of lobster they portion. The second bonus about the stop was we were able to take pictures and enjoy the scenery with no crowd as we were here at the beginning of May and very early in the morning. I imagine if you come during peak season, you will be waiting for long periods of time, if not hours as the workers reported how busy they as the weather warms up. Excellent food and experience. Would definitely go out of our way again to visit.
