The most perfect little independent coffee, tea, and pastry shop, right in the heart of Rangeley…read more The shop is welcoming and bright with natural light and clean, minimalist lines. The baristas are friendly, patient, and helpful. I had the spicy iced chai with oat milk that rivaled the best iced chai I've had. I was was certain it was homemade and when I complemented the barista, they shared the secret to their recipe! The blueberry scone was baked just hours before. It was packed with flavor of Maine blueberries and the scone itself was more moist than a traditional scone. They also offer vegan breakfast sandwiches. I couldn't resist the nature themed gift shop and bought some "bird nerd" tote bags, a Hideaway/E.B. White t-shirt, a picture book and nonfiction book about exploring the outdoors. The Hideaway is such a wonderful addition to Rangeley. A solid five stars--can't wait to go back.

The Good: *More than just ice creams, as they also have lobstah rolls, fries, and glizzies! Didn't try so can't comment but the pics look good. *Great selection of ice cream flavors, as well as yummy soft serve. *I don't recall the prices, but I remember it being very inexpensive. However, please note we're from the SF Bay Area, so everything seems cheap to us fml *Fantastic outdoor picnic areas to eat and look at the beautiful lake. The Meh: *Service was a bit aloof, but we were there at the end of the shift, so probably just the end of the day grumps. Regardless, it was fine. *No waffle cones, just standard cake cones. :( *Cash only The Ugly: *Like many businesses here in Rangeley they're only open seasonally from May - Octoberish (check their FB page for updates) Conclusion: A damn fine place to get your ice creams and a view. Highly recommended.

This was some disappointing ice cream! My husband and I…read morewere in Rangeley for the day. We were excited to see a place with soft serve ice cream. The ice cream had no flavor! We have never experienced flavorless ice cream before! We're not sure if it was something to do with the ice cream machine.

The location that was overlooking the lake was very pretty!

Charming place with all things you could ask for. Dried goods, meats, wines, bread items, cooked to order food... I could go on. I come here weekly for their soup selection, always a good variety to choose from. Menu offerings are wide in variety. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the area, so ask away. Owner is front and center taking care and pitching in where needed. Only wish you took pictures to accompany my review. It was busy with many people so not a good day for pics. Next time though.

From the moment you walk into Gemini, you know you're in for something special. This bakery-café…read morehas quickly become one of my favorite destinations I'd happily drive hours just to visit again. The breads and pastries here are absolutely outstanding. Their Anadama bread was rich and flavorful, with a perfect crust and texture that kept me coming back for more, and the sourdough bagels were simply too good to pass up ; crisp outside, chewy inside, and full of character. Every bite feels like a celebration: flaky pastries, artisanal naturally leavened bread, and thoughtful flavor combinations that make it a true bakery destination. The coffee pairs beautifully with the baked goods -- and they even sell locally roasted coffee from a woman-owned roaster in nearby Greenwood, which adds a wonderful Maine-made touch to the experience. Service is warm and friendly, and the cozy, welcoming atmosphere makes you want to sit down with a latte and savor every last bite. If you ever find yourself in Bethel, this gem of a bakery is absolutely worth the trip -- it's one of those places that leaves you already planning your next visit.

The ham and cheese croissant lacked the laminated layers we expect from quality croissants - and was almost overcooked. This one was a miss. The savory tarte was OK but lacked depth of flavor.
