They have outdoor covered seating and also 'indoor' seating that is zipped in by weather-proof plastic windows. The food was fantastic. The service was as well. Drinks were great. I really don't know what to say. I wish I could have eaten here more. I would have tried some of the Asian dishes the owners must specialize in. The market has some niche Filipino products too in addition to all normal convenience store items and stuff. This was an outstanding experience considering there is no real city nearby.

The poke bowl is absolutely delicious, as are the lumpia. My daughter devours the lumpia and she's two; that's how you know they're killer! Service has always been great. Wait times are never out of control. Seating is comfortable, even in the winter. This is a fun spot to get away from the fried fish fest of Ellsworth & the island, especially in summer.

They are offering some good quality items in this more remote area of the Acadia park area.

There is indoor and outdoor seating, but it was a bit too chilly for outdoor. The service is friendly and efficient. The Plain Pancake is made thin. I love the buttery crispy edges. Forget the fluffy pancakes, these are the best kind of pancakes! I will have to try the blueberry ones next time. The Chia Pudding with Fresh Berries (Memorial Day Weekend Special) had great texture with the fresh mixed berries. The Home Brewed Iced Tea had a great balance of citrus (Red Zinger and Lemon Zinger) to black tea. It is unsweetened, but there are sugar packets on the table. We had wanted to try the Blueberry Bread Pudding, but we weren't the only ones, as it was already sold out for the holiday weekend! We were informed of this a couple times by the staff, so we knew going in. I was stuffed at the end of the meal. Definitely worth the wait.

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!

This is truly one of the best breakfast places I've ever been to. Everything was exceptional -- the Eggs Benedict, tartines, Turkish eggs, fresh bakery items, and all the different superb coffee selections. Every meal was fresh, unique, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and relaxing, with friendly service that made us feel at home every time we walked in. Clark Point Cafe became one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Acadia's quiet side!

This was my second time visiting & I ended up ordering even more than the first. I originally…read moreplanned to try a new spot, but nothing else was open around that time so I came back here, and I'm glad I did. I started with two toasted bagels with cream cheese. They were fine, not the freshest bagels I've had, but they had a good amount of cream cheese, just okay overall. The croissant was large and nicely toasted, likely not baked in-house (gave off Costco croissant vibes), but it came with a really tasty berry spread. The blueberry scone, however, wasn't great. Not a fan of the texture or flavor on that one. For coffee, I tried the dirty chai and a regular drip coffee, both solid and satisfying. But the real showstopper was the lavender latte. I'm obsessed. It was fragrant, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Easily my favorite part of the visit. I also had the BLT sandwich and the smoked salmon tartine. Both were delicious. You could tell the same ingredients (pickles, veggies, capers) were used across multiple items, but it still worked well and tasted fresh. Lastly, I ordered the Dutch baby pancake. The presentation was lovely, and it was freshly made, but the flavor was just okay, I've had better. The overall experience was really fun. People around us were checking out my food and even asked for recommendations. The staff also acknowledged our spread, which made it feel even more welcoming.

The pancakes were loaded through and through with blueberries in every bite. My husband went with the corned beef hash (his personal fav) and said it was good and it was clearly house-made. Food was out quickly and we enjoyed our meal. Right in the middle of town and clearly a popular spot with tourists, I can see how this can be a loooooong wait during the summer.

There was also a musician playing live music near the front of the pub that really added to the atmosphere. It was a truly great find right on Main Street in Ellsworth.
