    Salmon Benedict
    Marni M.

    We came on a Sunday for brunch and were able to get seated right away on their porch by their kind hostess. Since we were outside, I did not get to see how large their indoor space was but it was very homey from what I could see. They had a delicious french toast made from their homemade cinnamon bread and perfectly cooked the eggs whether it was over easy or poached. The home fries were a little overcooked for my likings but they did have a touch of cajun seasoning on top. However, I found my Salmon Benedict to be too salty given it was smoked and paired with a feta smear. The green bowl included thinly sliced greens like broccoli and brussel sprouts that were cooked to my slightly crisp preferences. Overall, we had a good experience. Our waitress was so kind and personable but I do have to give a warning for the bees that can be quite relentless. Food was good and prices were reasonable so I would like to come again!

    Short rib and corned beef benedicts (2 separate meals that we split)

    We visit Mae's annually during our trip to Maine. This visit they were especially accommodating of one of our dietary restrictions. All of the benedict options we wanted were appealing and we wanted to share 2 different ones while accommodating a gluten and dairy allergy. We were able to request 2 different benedicts deconstructed so we could split them and everyone was happy. They really made it work! Both the corned beef and short rib benedicts were delicious! They are also very accommodating for children.

    Corned beef Hash and poached eggs cooked perfectly

    I have been wanting to try Mae's. The location has tons of memories-like from the 90s! We stopped in today and it was amazing. I had an eggs Benedict-surprise! And it was soooo good - interesting that there appeared to be cheese under the ham - yum. The hollandaise was light, just right. Wayne went for corned beef - and proclaimed it awesome. His Bloody Mary was the only slight down side; but he finished it! The room is great - nice art, but a bit warm (of course it is high 80s so...) mimosa was fab. Our server, Zachary was quick, professional and even offered a visit to the walk in cooler to cool off

    Steak and mushroom omelet
    Debbie H.

    Solid three (that's not bad...). I'd actually do 3.5 if that was an option. Since it's not, I'm rounding up to four. I've wanted to visit Mae's for a while but they've been closed the couple of times I stopped by, previously. Yesterday was the day. The outdoor porch seating is lovely. I picked a corner table. Our steak and mushroom omelets were fine but nothing "special" per se. The sourdough was good. I really enjoyed the homefries. They were out of corned beef hash - the main reason we stopped in - chicken sausage and squash. Our waiter was proficient but not really friendly. The bakery items looked amazing but I can't vouch for anything but their looks. I didn't buy any.

    Cute decor

    Gluten and dairy free friendly. Fun atmosphere with the seagull mascot and the elf tree out front.

    Quiche
    Sonya L.

    Love this place. It's got a cute interior and friendly servers. All very helpful too. My food came out quickly and I didn't have any issues. I ordered the quiche that came with a side salad and a roll. It was all yummy. The quiche was a hearty slice with bacon in it and the salad was nice a light to complement the quiche.

    Brussel sprout & Bacon hash with eggs. Side sausage. Yum
    Tom S.

    Nice breakfast! Brussel sprout and bacon hash with eggs. Side sausage. Nice light and airy, comfortable place for a nice start to the day. Wife had Avacado toast which looked terrific too.

    Came in on a Saturday, got put on a waitlist to be seated in 40min. Service was slow, but staff was nice. We had to ask for our check multiple times as we could not locate our server out front. I think they are understaffed. Food is pretty good. Coffee cake was moist. It's a popular spot.

    My husband loves your breakfast, but I usually veto due to few vegan options. Could you offer veganized versions of your quinoa bowl and Reuben?

    Absolutely, just ask your server for no eggs and aioli on quinoa bowl or veggie Reuben with vegan dressing no cheese- happy to adjust!

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.

After having some of the bread prior to our meals at a few restaurants, we found out the bread is locally sourced at a sister business right around the corner from where ate the night before. There is parking avail for customers in the lot for 30 mins, we prob waited about 20 mins and crossed the threshold into baked goods heaven. There was so much to select from - we got pastries, cookies, pizza and bread - and we pretty much liked everything. Our least favorite was the morning bun with walnuts - we didn't have it right away so that might've been part of the issue. Just note that the bread served at the restaurants aren't available until 2pm - we were leaving that morning so we weren't going wait for it. We opted for other loaves instead and they didn't disappoint. If you want something yummy and fresh - make sure to stop by here before heading out of Portland. I do wish the setup was a bit more conducive to the big crowds as there isn't much space from the front door to the counter but still a fantastic find!
