The small sub is huge! The burger was so fresh and tasty. The fries were perfectly crisp. I took photos of the menu posted at the cafe, but the owner said the most current menu is on Toast. She said that the menu varies and Toast will also show if they are out of certain things. The cafe is very clean and the folks running it are really nice. It is always such a joy to find a local family run eatery that is so well run. We will definitely be back when in this area.

Now for the review of the what ever is connected to it...oh yeah a shell. The beer is barely cold, THEY DONT SPEAK ENGLISH, the coffee that's supposed to be "bold and sassy" definitely voted for Kamala. Worst coffee I've had in 2025. Only go for the food and only go when Janessa is there or you're 100% rolling the dice.

The inside is…read moresuper clean and it appears to be a brand new store even though Vanessa H.'s review was five years ago. That's awesome. Huge selection of drinks and a counter with all sorts of sandwiches and snacks. Lots of coffee options, too! As well, the sort of stuff that you need in a convenience store for your car like oil and gas cans and such. The young man who rang up our sale was polite and cleancut. Good stuff!

THIS is the brand new Freshies in Ellsworth, NOT to be confused with the Hilltop On the Run…read moreFreshies at 368 High Street. Joe's review on that one is actually for this one at 51 HIgh Street. THIS one is the brand-spanking new one. AWESOME grab and go selection: sandwiches, salads, pizza, hot case items, pastries, desserts. A guy in there was wandering around aimlessly yesterday... he mumbled to himself, "There's almost too many choices." Beer cave, fountain soda bar (which my husband laments there are none of in Ellsworth), coffee/tea/hot drink bar, also typical convenience store goodies. Besides my obsession for the variety and stupid cheap prices, I can't really get over how NICE the people are that work here. Maybe they are super-stoked about how AWESOME this new place is, too. GREAT PIZZA! Look for the 2 for $10 pizza coupons in all the local mailers. It's a steal.

We had a great time at Black Moon. The night we were there, they had live music. It is a very…read morewelcoming cocktail bar and restaurant. We were standing near the bar, and one of the bartenders invited us to sit and moved chairs around for us. Service was excellent and very friendly. We had the roasted tomato burrata sandwich and flatbread. Each were great. This is such a cool place, there is a vinyl store within the restaurant, but it was closed when we there. There also was an area they sell guitars, all so random, but fit so well together. A very cool, comfy place to enjoy drinks, food and music.

The historic building has a tin roof and a wooden bar that eeks history. Our waitress was so welcoming and made us feel right at home. I enjoyed the roasted tomato burrata baguette sandwich and it was toasted and tasty. Several of my dining partners also had the same sandwich. Another had the Warm Roasted Root Vegetable Salad that she said was wonderful. We finished the meal with generous portions of carrot cake topped with delicious cream cheese frosting. There is a store inside the Black Moon (that happened to be closed on a Saturday night). In the corner they sell vinyl records and CDs and there is also a selection of guitars. 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.

Popped in here while exploring downtown Ellsworth, looking for some Matcha which seems to be a bit…read moredifficult to find in the area. Thankfully, we found Flexit because the Matcha was really delicious! My wife and I both ordered an Iced Lavender Matcha and the drinks came out quickly and efficiently. It seemed like a cute place to hang out and do some working/study sessions. Plus the location is perfect. Plenty of parking nearby and lots of other shops to explore post-caffeine. We did not order food during this visit so I cannot comment on the food. However, I will say that it seemed like they had a great selection of food as well as a grab-n-go section with lots of items from the cafe and other local vendors. If we're ever back in Ellsworth, we will 100% be back.

I had been wanting to try the homemade pork sausage roll that has apple incorporated. The make the sausage and the pastry surround. I love this place because they are careful with their creations and you can taste the measure of care in your tummy, resulting in an elation of spirit! I first tried the peanutbutter stout but wanted to keep my beer brown and let the sausage speak for itself. It did! Alongside some nice peas and mash with the very savory tasting brown gravy almost buttery like the brown brews! This is one you can bank on! See you all next time! Can't wait -

We were the third car in line and waited roughly 20 minutes. You place you order,pay and get your food in the same window. There is an extensive food menu, so if someone is ordering a sandwich in front of you, you're going to be waiting a while. All this being said, the coffee was good and the hashbrowns were good sized . We never received the dipping sauces we requested. If you're not in a rush, and no one else is in line, then we would recommend. Otherwise keep going.
