    Award winning LOBSTAH roll!
    Carly R.

    Great friendly service and conversation with the owner and our lobster roll came out quickly too. Simplicity truly is the best. This roll is the epitome of that statement. Few ingredients, treated just right culminates into perfection. Now, I've yet to go to Maine...but I've never had a better lobster roll. I can definitely see why they were chosen as the BEST in New Hampshire. You gotta stop here.

    An amazing turkey and cheese sandwich! The turkey is carved and very good meat! Nice and moist and just delicious flavor! Everyone else I was with also loved their sandwich. All around freaking delicious! Fun thing! You order your sandwich at the window in front, then you pay inside. Well if you go quick enough or if people are behind you, when you get inside they send your order flying overhead back to the kitchen to be made! So fun to watch! There is also a convenience store inside where we found a maple sap soda! It was delicious! Slightly sweet, bubbly and a hint of maple! Not to mention it is good for your gut!

    Absolutely the best shop in Lincoln! I ordered the turkey and avocado- then added bacon and tomato. You MUST get the multigrain bread and the maple basil mustard- you won't regret it! The service was fantastic and the guy working was kind in conversation! All of their products are fresh and organic... and you can taste the freshness! visit the shop inside as well!!

    [982] 7/2019 Plenty of strip mall parking. This establishment seems to have two locations kind of next to each other.. well sort of. The one location was larger with seating but the other location had the prepared foods. We ordered meals to go (sandwiches .. lobster roll.. etc). All the food was tasty as we had it for dinner at home. The store had an amazing selection of healthier organic type foods. This is the store you go to when you can't find something at the local market. I picked up a variety of special chips and snacks. Some cool items were butternut squash pretzels and koreal bbq chips along with herbal corn. This place is great and I wish I lived closer. I would definitely be back.

    A fantastic place in Lincoln - fun shop with organic produce and lots of unique groceries, sauces, salsa, etc. You order and eat outside while they zip line your order to the back. The Lobster Roll is excellent! Light Mayo and a perfectly grilled bun = how it ought to be!!! I had a special - Lobster BLT which was one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten!!!!!!!! Freshest lettuce and tomato, a 1/4 pound of Lobster on multigrain toast ... it was truly sublime!!! We bought chips and drinks in the store to accompany the sandwiches and ate outside on a gorgeous September day. The couple running it could not have been more friendly and accommodating. A perfect lunch!!

    The Purple Tomato is a cute little mini market that offers unique sandwiches, prepared behind-the-counter food (needs visible labels and prices), hard-to-find ingredients and a plethora of snacks. It's located in a plaza with parking big lot and other stores to shop around. This is one of the spots I have to stop by for goodies when we're hitting the road, on our way back home. Beef Jerky- I forgot the name of the jerky I got but it was sweet chili flavor and definitely wasn't a common brand. I try to rummage for beef jerky from shops like these everywhere I go. Overall Service: Very friendly folks. I'm sure I'll be back again and next time, I'll give their sandwiches a go.

    Amazing lobster rolls, delicious BLTs, and my 5yo requested their grilled cheese for lunch three days in a row which is the kid version of a Michelin star .

    Turkey & Avocado
    Danie S.

    A great stop along the way for a quick bite. Food is great, but service is even better! We got the Lobster Roll, Turkey Avocado Sandwich, Cucumber and Hummus Sandwich. The veggies are so fresh and the bread is also very tasty. Overall, the food here is very clean cut and their homemade gluten free key lime pie is also super yummy. Keep up the good work!

    Wow! After a hike yesterday, I decided to head home via the Kanc. I was lured by a roadside sign, promising lobster rolls. What? I thought I'd have to get closer to the Seacoast before a lobster roll would be in my future. Nope! I pulled into the little strip mall on the south side of the Kanc. Wow! Wow! Wow! For a mere $14.99, I got the best lobster roll I have ever had in my life! But wait, that's not all... these people really know what they are doing in the age of Covid 19. I didn't think I'd ever be able to eat food I did not cook myself after my last experiences at Pizza Hut and Brown's. The masked Purple Tomato peeps took my order, my $, and delivered my food to my car window with nary a molecule passing between them and me. That's the way it's done! And did I say it was the best lobster roll ever? I pulled into my fave parking spot on the Kanc (the one that the tourists don't know about!) and wolfed it down. Fortunately, I took a photo before it disappeared. Yum! I can't wait to go back!

    Lobster roll was good, but small for the price. They have some healthy snacks and goodies in the shop section and a nice sale section.

    I wasn't expecting anything crazy from a ham & cheese but the thick-cut ham?? Amazing. The sandwich was SO good

    Lovely family operation. The cider donuts were great - that's really what we came for. I recommend…read morethe glazed. Plus, Patch Orchards had tallow candles and bath bombs in their store made by the mother-in-law of the nice young man who checked us out - those offerings were unexpected. The apples themselves were excellent also, with lots of different varieties available for picking. The scenic views were also ridiculously beautiful. And the playground equipment for younger kids was surprisingly large and robust. Nice place to spend some relaxing family time.

    I'm a local photographer who has used Patch Orchards multiple times without issue, until this week,…read morewhen I had a shocking experience with them. As usual, I arrived with my clients, politely said hello and stated I was there to take photos by the Christmas trees. Christine (whom I had never met) said nothing about rules or purchase requirements and explicitly told me I could take photos. Afterward, my clients warmed up with their baby in the car and planned to cut a tree, but Christine assumed we weren't buying anything and escalated the situation for no reason. I left with my clients down the hill to take a few last shots and as I was getting into my car, Christine brought her husband Mike down in his truck to "scare me off". They flew past me, tried to block me from leaving the road, yelled at me to "never be seen on the property again," and accused me of "taking photos without buying anything" as if that were a crime. It was aggressive, threatening and completely unprofessional. This is a farm open to the public - visitors are NOT required to make a purchase just for stepping onto the property. If they have rules for photos, they can communicate them like adults instead of resorting to intimidation and theatrics. I won't be returning (for my own safety), and others should think twice before giving them business. If you do visit, apparently you'd better buy something immediately, since that seems to be their unspoken rule.
