The crust on both was perfectly flaky, buttery, and absolutely delicious. The strawberry rhubarb struck that just right balance of sweetness with a bright citrusy lift, and the apple was the kind of all-American comfort you dream about for a fall wedding. We picked the pies up in person, and Apple Shed was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Planning from Arizona could have been tricky, but they were so accommodating and incredibly helpful, making the whole process seamless from afar. Truly outstanding pies and equally outstanding people. Highly recommend!

When I looked to my left and saw an actual root beer barrel shaped food stand, I knew I was going to have fun. The menu includes burgers, hotdogs, and root beer floats. I only wanted the float, but have since heard the burgers are pretty great too. The man behind the counter was kind and cheerful. When I asked about whether they carried more than one type of root beer, we got into a great conversation about our love of root beer. He had a few other root beers that a company was trying to push on him and he offered a few for me to try at a later time. While we talked he prepared my Eil's root beer float with locally made vanilla ice cream. He handed me my large cup and the bottle of the remaining root beer. The cup had a clear cover that he had taped down on the sides to keep it extra secure. There was both a spoon and straw for my consuming preferences too. Maybe it was that it was made with Eli's which is one of my favorites or that it was made with local ice cream.....or maybe both, any which way, it was one of the best root beer floats that I have had. Make sure to check out this place while racing down old route 3! It will be worth your time and money.

And I love Spenceresque type of stores (If you didn't grow up with a Spencer's- think jokey/quirky items, funny socks, etc...) But we really came for the ice cream. I saw a photo of the candy dandy milkshake and I knew we had to stop here. A little disappointed there wasn't more milkshake options but I guess enough. The Candy Dandy was enough for 3 people (although my 3 year old totally thought it was all for him!) It would not have been my first choice but I did enjoy the frosting on the rim of the cup (this was my favorite part.) It was fun! The staff were young and having a good time. Also, very clean establishment and ample parking. Even offer outdoor seating with a nice view.

We were greeted by two friendly counter ladies who took our order. They accommodated my request for paper boxes versus plastic shell containers. My Stromboli was hot and ready and it didn't take long for my husband's sandwich to get made. Both were yummy!! Prices are average for the meals and I would say the sweets are very reasonably priced. The dining area is spacious and pleasant. They have high and standard tables. They sell three kinds of Maine coffee: CBD, Upta Camp and Mbingo mountain (roasted and packed in Waterville). It is located in the heart of downtown Waterville. The entrance has automated doors (press the blue button kind) and no steps. They are open everyday but Sunday!

When it's slow, it's no the fault of the staff, it's the customers that are indecisive and waffling about their decisions. I admit, I was that waffle person ONCE...never again, because we know the flow and also our favorites. For ordering of sandwiches, deli orders, basically things that aren't premade in the glass case/counter...you must complete a paper slip. It's pretty great to be able to customize what you want without having to repeat yourself (which is something I hate doing). We have had sandwiches - quality bread and ingredients! We have had their calzone type of offerings - YUM! So good. I have tried many of their cheesecakes. They are delicious.. They are rich and decadent, as cheesecakes should be in my opinion. I loved all of them, I think the blueberry is my favorite followed by Heath Bar. We love all of their cookies and baked goods. One that will get us coming back, even if it is just for this cookie, are their ricotta cookies. They are so hearty, fluffy and delicious. I hesitated sharing that, because every time I share something, they are always sold out. Anyway...sharing is caring. The owner is super nice. The workers are more reserved and task oriented, so don't distract with conversation if they are busy! There are usually plenty of seats and tables, but it can get crowded when there is a show across the street..be warned. I highly recommend this business and food. Excellent!

We were only third or fourth in line. We waited outside and along the bridge; it was beautiful! The food was very good and we tried nearly everything offered. It was very fast service and friendly. The only tricky thing is tables. It would be helpful to have someone directing to tables because some people grabbed tables before they had even ordered. (The best system for this I've ever seen was at Biscuit Love in Nashville. Super long (but fast) counter ordering, and then their staff takes you to a table based on the size of your group. It was kind of amazing.)

I ordered only a chocolate martini, just one, and somehow it tasted like a grown-up milkshake, a sweet silky potion that whispered, "Calories don't count if you drink them." The first sip was like being hugged by a truffle; the second sip was like that truffle winking and rearranging my weekend plans. By the halfway mark, I was negotiating with my brain about whether I needed dinner or just another round of dessert disguised as alcohol. The bartender smiled knowingly, clearly aware that this drink could turn a responsible adult into a giddy cocoa pirate. Four stars because my sweet tooth is still filing a restraining order, dangerously delicious and almost too tempting for its own good.
