We stumbled on this cafe on our way up to Portland from Boston. The falafel plate is delicious with…read morefresh cucumber and tomatoes, house-made falafel, house-made hummus, and PITA that is warm and chewy. The falafel was well-seasoned and cooked just-right. The hummus was a wee bit on the salty side, but paired perfectly with the pita that is so good I ordered an extra piece to polish off the hummus! Their sweet potato fries are a bit on the pricey side at $8, but they are addictively good, perfectly caramelized, and portioned generously -- ideal to split between 2-3 people. There's plenty of parking and indoor seating in a spacious, tidy, and well-lit cafe. There is a clean, single-stall handicap-accessible bathroom. There was only one server who was kind and sweet. Best of all, the cafe is a nonprofit and the profits are used by a local synagogue to serve the needs of their local community!

Everything was ready to go when arrived- quick and easy. Online ordering is always a plus. The restaurant is more spacious than I was anticipating and very clean. Let's start with the falafel plate: Delicious and fresh! The homemade pita was a winner. I truly hoped the hummus wouldn't disappoint because sometimes it just does and it was the whole dish's base. My concern was totally unfounded. As for the rugelach? Let me tell you, had I ordered in I would've ordered more than I did! The dough and sweetness was just right. Best I've had in New Hampshire.

I got the yogurt parfait and split the turkey sandwich with a friend. Both were delicious. Yogurt parfaits usually are extremely underwhelming but this one was soooo good. It was so simple, just yogurt, granola and lots of jam. The turkey sandwich was also pretty great. Turkey, cheddar, bacon, tomato, greens, chipotle mayo, on ciabatta. Very yummy and a big portion. I didn't pick up so I can't speak to the cuteness of the cafe (although I hear it's pretty cute) but I am a solid fan from the take home food alone.

The pecan latte was yummy and not too sweet.

In a place where la famiglia é tutto, they know how to greet you. We were invited in by the quintessential Italian signs as much as the complex aromas. The pastries were a delight, but it was me who was delighted by the Old World style adorning the newly renovated space. A mixture of textures, from wood to stone work to leather chairs helped create the ambiance, and the cathedral ceiling was highlighted by painted white rafters. Today I tried the spiral ham on brioche breakfast sandwich and a café Americano, and I got a pastry with cannoli filling to go. I'm not sure what I'll get next time, but I know this bakery is a recipe for something great about our country. I'm no Maine scholar, but I'm pretty sure the state motto: "Dirigo," translates to "The pastries are delizioso," (give or take.)

There are two parking areas so if you can't find a spot, drive to the other side of the building!

We also ordered the "house-cured salmon tartine", which was loaded with an explosion of great complimentary flavors. The coffee menu was extensive.
