My baby and I came on a Sunday in the late morning and it was the perfect spot to catch up with an…read moreold friend. Their macarons from the Macaron Cafe were the perfect pick me up, and next time I want to try the chicken salad croissant sandwich. Afterwards we took a lil stroll, Kennebunk is such a cute town! But since it's winter time, most of the shops were closed. Parking in front of the cafe is scarce but there's random spots scattered around.

We passed this cafe while on our way to Kennebunkport downtown and had to stop. The outside of the…read morecafe is sooo cute and there is lots of outdoor seating. I'd love to return on a nice day with my book. The inside of the cafe is similarly adorable and they have a wide range of dessert offerings. We had a hard time choosing two drinks from the huge menu, and eventually settled on a Campfire Cold Brew and Banana Bread Chai. The server was incredibly helpful in helping me figure out what I wanted, as I was trying to avoid caffeine. The Banana Bread Chai was very delicious, although it could have been a bit thicker and could've used a little more banana flavoring. I'm comparing it to the Starbucks banana bread latte, which I actually prefer, although I'm not a huge Starbucks fan. The Campfire Cold Brew was tasty and had lots of chocolate syrup, but the coffee also tasted a little bitter and watery.

Posted a comment and was asked to send a private message. I am so glad I did. The Macarons I ordered were St Patty's day themed. Lucky charms cereal, Shamrock Shake and Baileys Irish creme! Too die for flavors! The cookie part perfectly baked, the creme filling inside is out of this world flavored! I also order their special box. It is a heart filled chocolate box filled with chocolate and or candy. Hot cocoa bombs (choices of dark, milk or white chocolate) and chocolate dipped strawberries! Which are huge by the way and just as delicious! The best part about this entire thing is I am Gluten free, they double checked the chocolate to verify it was GF! It is by the way, they asked if I had a favorite GF candy for the chocolate box. Which they did add! They have a customer for life! I would strongly recommend checking them out!

Soakology is a small spa and cafe in Portland, Maine, they primarily offer foot massage, foot…read moresoaks, full-body massage, and fair trade teas. They also have a small gift shop too, where they sell housemade spa salt cubes and lotions. You need to make a reservation for spa services here. I visit a lot of these types of places. I was surprised at how different Soakology was compared to most of my other experiences. We were taken to a large communal space which was divided into semi-private rooms made from dark curtains, and the lights are down low. They ask for no phones, and quiet. I sat in a raised arm chair and they wheel in a copper tub under us, that they filled with hot water and whatever scented salt cube you choose. The soaks range in price from $35 to $53, depending on which scented salt cube you pick. I choose the CBD (to attempt to make up for my lack of massage, $53). They came and refilled our hot water in the tub twice, and refilled our tea water. We visited on a warm day, and I image this service would be a staple for me in winter. I left sweating! I have inflammatory arthritis, and it did helped me to soak. Anyhow, the experience surpassed my expectations in terms of relaxation. When we left my feet were like 75% relaxed, which is not bad. I could do this all at home at a fraction of the cost, but there is something more luxurious about not having to set up, and clean up. If you are in Portland, check them out!

It definitely did help the pain that I was experiencing in my foot. However, I felt like it was really challenging for it to be just right because sometimes it was too hot and then it would cool down. Service Needed some work and could've been better. The latte that I got was really good. It was kind of sweet for a chai latte but not bad.

On a recent cruise we had a port stop in Rockland, ME. Instead of doing an excursion we decided to…read moredo one of those "go down this street and right" excursions where you make everything up as you. Since it was between breakfast and lunch we decided to stop into Atlantic Baking for a coffee and a pastry. Atlantic Baking is an unassuming shop right along what I'm going to consider a main street through Rockland. Not necessarily THE main street, but the Main-est we saw, so I'm sticking with that. Inside are several cases of pastries, breads, rolls, donuts and other baked goods that looked at me as if to say "I dare you". There was a cinnamon roll-ish thing that looked really good, and a Vanilla latte are what talked to me most. The staff (two young ladies on this morning) were busy hustling and, even with that, were helpful as they tried to keep taking care of customers. The vanilla latte was SUE-PERB, albeit a bit hot for my taste (had it let is cool first). As we sat having our halfway-between-breakfast-and-lunch-but-not-really-brunch snack there was a steady stream of customers, I'm guessing about 50/50 regulars and cruisers. Aside from pastries, coffees and teas, there's a cooler with canned/bottle beverages for the on-the-go beverage drinker. With as much activity as was going on during our visit you'd think it'd be difficult to keep clean, but there was a gentleman who came out frequently to take care of emptied tables, trash, etc. There are windows into the baking area, proving that they've got nothing to hide. Most everything is made on site with fresh, natural ingredients by people who take pride in what they do. Atlantic Baking is a charming place and a nice stop for a mid-morning snack
