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

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.

I'm on budget and this place exceeded my means.

This is a great stop a for mid morning coffee and muffin, lunch and I have taken home their meat lasagne for cooking at home. All are excellent. I believe their claim to fame is breakfast but I am not a breakfast eater. The inside seating area is small and you may find people in line hovering over your table if the place is busy. There are a few outdoor tables during the summer. The time from ordering to eating is often long if you are having a sandwich or something that requires cooking but it will be delicious. Pricing is expensive but quality is high. I've had mixed experiences on service. Sometimes super friendly, sometimes I feel like I am bothering them by being there and ordering lunch. Lunch items vary and are not posted online, you have to visit to see the offerings. Would go more often if we could see menu online and call in our order. Overall a great place tucked away in Belfast.

Stopped in to get some snacks to eat while hiking: in keeping with local produce, got a blueberry bran muffin and a maple bun whose name I forget. The ingredients were great quality: you could taste the freshness of the blueberries and the purity of the maple syrup. The question, for me, is whether the baking elevates these ingredients beyond if I'd just had blueberries and maple syrup. About that, I'm not sure.

On a recent cruise we had a port stop in Rockland, ME. Instead of doing an excursion we decided to…read moredo one of those "go down this street and right" excursions where you make everything up as you. Since it was between breakfast and lunch we decided to stop into Atlantic Baking for a coffee and a pastry. Atlantic Baking is an unassuming shop right along what I'm going to consider a main street through Rockland. Not necessarily THE main street, but the Main-est we saw, so I'm sticking with that. Inside are several cases of pastries, breads, rolls, donuts and other baked goods that looked at me as if to say "I dare you". There was a cinnamon roll-ish thing that looked really good, and a Vanilla latte are what talked to me most. The staff (two young ladies on this morning) were busy hustling and, even with that, were helpful as they tried to keep taking care of customers. The vanilla latte was SUE-PERB, albeit a bit hot for my taste (had it let is cool first). As we sat having our halfway-between-breakfast-and-lunch-but-not-really-brunch snack there was a steady stream of customers, I'm guessing about 50/50 regulars and cruisers. Aside from pastries, coffees and teas, there's a cooler with canned/bottle beverages for the on-the-go beverage drinker. With as much activity as was going on during our visit you'd think it'd be difficult to keep clean, but there was a gentleman who came out frequently to take care of emptied tables, trash, etc. There are windows into the baking area, proving that they've got nothing to hide. Most everything is made on site with fresh, natural ingredients by people who take pride in what they do. Atlantic Baking is a charming place and a nice stop for a mid-morning snack
