    #2 panini: grilled tandoori chicken, curry slaw, chef's roasted garlic aioli
    Clare C.

    This was exactly what I was craving for lunch!! It has the most perfect lunch sandwiches. I ordered the #2 panini with grilled tandoori chicken and roasted garlic aioli. It was delicious! Perfect crisp and crunch of the bread with the wonderful garlic aioli. Inside has some places to sit and it is cute inside. The food took about 10-15 minutes to come out. Prices were very fair for ~$13 for the sandwich. I left so happy and wanted to come back! Love it here!

    Mortadella pesto

    Very cute space with a very friendly staff- have a sandwich or salad to please most people. We got the pesto mortadella and it was really good. We added balsamic and i think it needed it to cut the richness but it came out fast and hot. Great spot after a hike'

    Lobster roll
    Ophelia M.

    Stopped by here for lunch while we were wandering around Bar Harbor. Lunch Bar Harbor is nestled in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. We were in the hunt for highly rated lobster rolls and this place came up. It's an order at the counter situation and they'll call out your name to pick up your food. They have seating inside but it is limited and pretty basic (ie: this isn't a place you go to for the atmosphere). My dining companion and I ordered lobster rolls, a cup of clam chowder to share, and potato salad to share. The lobster rolls are made Maine style (cold, lightly mayo coated lobster salad served on a toasted split roll). They had ample lobster and were tasty. The potato salad was also solid. The clam chowder was seriously out-of-this-world. It was absolutely the star of the show. I'll be dreaming about that chowder when it's the middle of winter in Wisconsin. The service was a little short and not overly friendly--but I get it. It's the end of the tourist season and folks could just be a bit tired. The prices are also a bit high (two lobster rolls, a small cup of chowder, and potato salad = $95). That chowder, though.

    #3 Italian sub on locally made Italian loaf

    We loved this lunch spot! One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The ingredients were perfectly balanced and the sub roll was fresh and delicious. Great friendly service and the food came out quickly. Order the #3 Italian sub!: CAPICOLA * PEPPERONI * MOZZARELLA * MARINATED TOMATOES * ROASTED RED PEPPERS * ONION * CHERRY PEPPER RELISH

    #3 Italian

    Nice little sandwich restaurant. The gentleman who took our order was originally from Ireland. He had a great personality and was super friendly. I got the #1 Italian sandwich along with a side of macaroni salad. My wife got the #3 Italian sandwich along with a side of potato salad. The sandwiches were very good and fresh. The pasta and macaroni salad were okay. There is only one restroom for either men or women. The door didn't quite shut properly but the restaurant was located in an older building. All in all a pretty enjoyable lunch.

    #1 Italian

    Was in Bar Harbor Maine and in the downtown area and ate down there but I wanted to try something a little further out of the main area and we found this restaurant. The menu is small and their hours are during lunch. I saw they had a good rating so we waited for them to open. I had the clam chowder and lobster roll and my wife had the #1 Italian sandwich with potato salad. I didn't know what to expect on the lobster roll but it tasted plain to me. But the clam chowder was very tasty and I would get it again. My wife's lunch was good. She couldn't finish the sandwich so I got the other half, did I say the lobster roll was small? The potato salad was different and had a good taste and I would get it again. Overall it was a good spot to eat and it was different.

    Incredible salad. One that I can't stop talking about all day. Add the lobster salad on top. You won't regret it. Great service as well. Would highly recommend going during your trip to bar harbor

    My family and I loved our experience here! The guy at the register was very friendly & helpful as we ordered. He gave us free samples of their soup of the day which was good. We all got paninis that were sooo good! I went with the #6 which was a triple cheese panini and my sister and dad both got the #5 which was a ham & cheese panini with apples & balsamic glaze. We also got a bag of chips to share, and everything was amazing! I would definitely return to try their Clam Chowder & the Lobster Salad Panini! The only thing that could be improved is the bathroom situation was a little dingy, but I still think this place earns 5 stars!

    Tomato Basil Soup
    Lynn M.

    If you've ever seen the Seinfeld episode with the soup nazi, this place will peak your interest. The homemade soup was phenomenal. A soup and sandwich shop with a set menu, it offers paninis and a variety of deli sandwiches. The gentleman that takes your order rings you up, dishes out your soup, answers the phone, and calls out your name, delivering your sandwich to you. He keeps the line entertained in the meantime..." feel free to talk amongst yourselves ". An old Irish gentleman with an accent he has a great line for each spam caller as well. The experience is part of the fun! The ham panini was delicious as well!

    Butternut squash and apple soup - delicious!

    Lunch is a must for, well, lunch. The service is friendly and fun, and the food hits the spot with something for everyone. The cozy cafe vibe and great music make it an easy favorite. You won't regret stopping by.

    Fun view of street/people watching

    Best panini and tomato soup I've ever had in my whole life, not kidding. My boyfriend got an Italian sandwhich too that was amazing. We also tried a bit of the butternut squash soup, and it was life changing. The panini had apples, ham, cheddar, etc. The tomato soup was perfectly creamy with soft tomato pieces. The owner was so fun and nice. Also love that you pay up front and then sit. 100/10.

    Great rustic lunch place for LUNCH. Had soup and salad with lots of lobster salad on it. Hit the spot for our lunch. Service was quick and friendly.

    A GREAT ITALIAN

    Great food, even better people! This was the cutest little sandwich shop (also sell soups and salad). This is an order at the counter and find a seat place which was honestly nice to avoid the wait times if you're a big party. Everyone's sandwich was delicious and fresh! Also the lovely older gentleman and his young assistant working behind the counter made our day!! We grabbed a seat by the window and enjoyed the charm of the decor inside. Highly recommended this for lunch after a hike or exploring downtown. Could also be great to grab and take for a picnic in the park right out front or walk down to the water.

    FANTASTIC! FANTASTIC! FAAAANTASTIC! little bakery in Bar Harbor!…read more While I was on holiday in Maine I stopped in wherever to get my usual...I plain bagel, with butter..and a bottle of orange juice. Some places were good, some...not so much. I mean, how can a plain bagel with butter...be bad? Well, very easily lol. Went to a place in New Hampshire and it was the worst bagel I had ever had. So when I was in Bar Harbor, I had gone to a few places every morning and none of them were as great as this place. It's super close to downtown and all the tourist shops. So I just figured....expensive. Not at all. The bagel was fantastic! they toasted it just right and didn't drown it in butter like so many other places had on that trip. AND! the bagel was just so damn tasty. I like me some bagels lol The staff was so friendly. Just a happy place. The restaurant/bakery itself is so homey. It's very small...so if you wanna get there in the morning like so many do...go as early as you can if you wanna sit down. It's very comfortable in there. It's like a cute little cottage and you just kind of expect to see your adorable little grandma come out with the most amazing breakfast ever with her acting all sweet and grandma-like lol. I only wish I had discovered this place the first day we had gotten there. I would have been a regular for sure. What a pleasant little spot. Seriously, I just loved it and highly recommend anyone and everyone go here for their breakfast. They also have lots of like cookies and shit. I was so proud of myself...I held back and didn't get any even though I could have easily bought one of everything lol. So if you are in the Bar Harbor area and want a nice little spot to go for breakfast...and you see this review...go here! You will love it! If you hate it...you know where to find me....on Yelp lol. I guarantee you will love it tho. If you don't...Ill buy you a cookie to make you happy because obviously you're miserable if you find something wrong with this adorable little bakery :) Thanks so much for reading, Yelpers! Cheers!

    Came here for a quick breakfast. We both had a bagel but with different cream cheese. I had bagel…read morewith turkey and herb cream cheese. Cream cheese was very bad, I had to scrape it off my bagel. My husband had to do the same. Bagels seem to be pre made and not baked in the bakery. It's weird to call yourself a bakery and not make bagels in the house. I got pumpkin spice coffee which was ok. Place is pretty cute inside. Has some nice tables and pleasant atmosphere. Service is decent, they basically bring food for you and it is pretty much it.
