If you walk to the left upon entering, you can grab takeout. If you walk to the right, you order to eat-in. And there's a lot of seating. For the first visit, we ordered takeout and it was still so good and fresh when we got it back to our cottage. The next visit we ate in. Again, super fresh and delicious. I ordered a pancake with blueberry compote and was happy to see they used wild blueberries in their compote. I also ordered a coffee milkshake to get my caffeine fix and that was a nice, light, dessert for breakfast kind of treat.

Its located in what feels like a business park but dont be deterred, its perfect inside. I ordered the blueberry French toast, and it was delicious! Fresh, flavorful, and just the kind of comforting breakfast you hope to find at a local spot like this. The food was really good, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Definitely a cute little gem worth stopping by for breakfast. I'd happily come back!

Two years later, I went to Amandine again. Omg. It was as great as the first review. This time I…read morehad a veggie hand pie and finished it off with a bit of pistachio cheesecake. What a good hand pie. Flaky, filled with mildly curry spiced potatoes, peas and carrots. The pie was larger than my hand and tasted fantastic. The cheesecake had two layers, one the cheesecake which was baked to perfection, and the pistachio cream layer, an inch thick and beautiful with rose petal garnish. The owner waited on us and was so sweet. I wanted to hug her. The place was sparkling clean and warm and cozy. What an enjoyable experience.

We were so impressed, our "To Go" coffee order became a sit down sampling of Scotch eggs, sausage rolls and a vegetarian pastry! All delicious, and the cappuccinos were perfect too! What a find! The owner was so pleasant and friendly. Eclectic and fun places like Amandines aren't easy to find, and I am so glad we came across it. There are lots of items and local goodies for purchase. Will certainly go back on our next trip and definitely recommend to any one going to or from Bar Harbor! Great job Amandines - well done! Cheers-

This trip I discovered the "sea smoke" flavor and swear that it was hands down the best tasting donut I've ever had.

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!

Even though the WiFi password isn't given out, we very much enjoyed our time at the hoot. And on Mondays, there is a revolving theme night so you've got to check it out.

My 5th visit to the Hoot was more disappointing than delightful…read more I brought three friends to try the Hoot after sharing my good experiences in the past. We went this Sunday for brunch and were told the wait for food would be 40 minutes despite having a reservation. Looking around the restaurant, there were empty tables, so they were not at capacity. Making the best of the situation we all ordered four cider donuts to take the edge off of the wait. The donuts, usually perfectly done, were overdone. But any warm donut is a good donut, right? What came next was my Medium Rare Hoot burger cooked Well Done. Clearly, there are problems in the kitchen. Our waiter, while nice, wasn't really interested if our food was good or not, and the comments around the table were that the food was fine... I looked at their website to send an email just to let them know our experience before writing a review, but, there was no contact information other than a phone number, and they are only open 3x a week. Looking here, I see many similar reviews. Sad that another favorite is losing its touch.

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!
