We pulled off…read morein Brunswick for a quick break and ended up having one of the best coffee experiences of the entire trip. I walked in thinking I'd order something simple, but Jocelyn somehow anticipated exactly what I wanted before I even said it -- an oatmeal latte with honey infused right into the espresso. It was warm, silky, lightly sweet, and honestly one of the most thoughtful, dialed‑in drinks I've had anywhere. You can tell when someone really knows their craft, and she absolutely does. We also grabbed the curried chicken sandwich, which was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect balance of creamy and bright. It's the kind of sandwich that makes you pause mid‑bite and go, "Wait... this is really good." The whole place has that cozy‑local‑favorite energy -- friendly staff, great food, and the kind of coffee that makes you want to reroute your trip just to come back again. If you're driving through Freeport, Camden, or anywhere along the coast, Wild Oats is 100% worth the detour.

The clam chowder was buttery and full of meat and potatoes, but could have used a bit of corn starch to thicken it up. The bacon wrapped scallops were good but could have used a maple glaze or thicker bacon to enhance the flavor of the bacon. The mozzarella sticks were gooey and full of cheese but needed a bit more seasoning in the breading. Overall, the food was tasty and not overpriced. This is a great place for a family lunch outing on a nice day. Service: The cashier was nice and helpful. Ambience: The restaurant has a small gift shop inside that has a bunch of cute gift options. There are multiple small picnic bench areas under an awnings and with a view of the water. This is a great spot and I look forward to trying out more of their menu.

This place is touted as being the "working man's marina" and it really is - if you have a boat and come here often, you can create an account so that you don't have to carry cash or a card with you! How helpful is that!!? All of the baked goods are made by Judy and her biscuits are heavenly!!! I got the lobster biscuit and they asked if I wanted cheese and I was confused but GET THE CHEESE it will help make the sandwich melt in your mouth. The lobster is cooked into the egg and the cheese helps bind it and make it a little more savory. They have a candy area and while it's not a penny candy station (inflation) it's still fun to fill up a little bag of tootsie rolls and Swedish fish!!! And did I mention the ice creams and frappes?!? I didn't take a picture of my frappe because one sip in and it was half gone - that's how delicious it is!!! Their ice creams and milks are al locally produced and they are all tasty galore!!! You will not go wrong with any flavor but I highly recommend the maple!!! This is a must try when in the area!!!!

A big group of us ordered a variety of sandwiches for takeout today. We all raved about our sandwiches (and one bowl). We tried the Brunswick, Waldoboro, Blue Hill, Iris (), and purpoodock club sandwiches and the Sebasco bowl. All ingredients were fresh and the bread was delicious. Sandwiches were generous portions and were each accompanied by a pickle! We also sampled a few pastries, blueberry and peanut-butter flavored. Yum!

There's a reason we keep coming back - the food and service. The ambiance is ok. Basic tables and chairs and some "circus" type of decorations on the wall. They have a pretty consistent menu that really hasn't changed, at least not that I have noticed. They have "signature" sandwiches or you can build your own. They have hot and cold deli sandwiches available. They also have wedge fries that are oven baked. Family favorites; Sonny's Supreme and the classic italian. I also also love their breakfast sandwich options. They have a cooler of beverages. My favorite is Fresca. A soda I never have at home and I soda I always buy when I can at a deli. Pairs perfectly. Don't sleep on the sweets for sale by the register. The cookies and whoopie pies are usally tasty. The staff seems consistent - hardworking, customer service oriented and nice to interact with. They keep the simple dining area as clean as they are able - during the lunch hours during the week - this place is always packed!!! Wow...it's great to see and hope this means this buiness will stay around for years to come. Parking - many parking options within .5 mile from the location.

They have a very large menu and after sifting through it a bit, I chose "The Big Top" which is a pastrami Reuben. I, personally love Reubens and was excited to try a variation that was the namesake. I was ultimately dissapointed that the sandwich wasn't served on Rye bread and was considerably smaller than the sandwiches my coworkers got. The sandwich itself was tasty but the juices from the sauce made the bread soggy by the time we made it back to the office (short drive). I'm not sure if I made a bad decision or if my review accurately reflects the quality - I won't be going back unless I'm sitting down to eat the sandwich right away and I won't be getting the "The Big Top" again.
