Probably THE BEST cupcakes we've ever had. Seriously !!! We only bought 4, and of course, we were sorry we didn't buy more. AAAAHMAAAAAZING !!! We bought 2 lemon, 1 lemon blueberry, and 1 salted caramel. The buttercream was perfection, and so was the cake part. Plus, the ratio of icing to cake was also spot-on. We loved every bite, and I still think about those cupcakes all these weeks later. Good thing we live so far away.

The market is cute, clean, and well stocked with a variety of old favorites and interesting new choices of various snacks and beverages. We ordered a large Hawaiian pizza and two large steak & cheese subs, not expecting much and were blown away by the deliciousness of the pizza in particular. I'm not sure if they add provolone to the mozzarella but the cheese was amazing and the toppings were just right. The ham was thinly sliced so as not to overpower other flavors. Our pizza and subs were ready in a timely manner, and all staff was friendly and happy. We read other reviews here about oily pizza, but this pizza was not even remotely close to being oily - it was perfect and if it weren't an hour from home we'd be frequent flyers.

Stopped in to get some snacks to eat while hiking: in keeping with local produce, got a blueberry bran muffin and a maple bun whose name I forget. The ingredients were great quality: you could taste the freshness of the blueberries and the purity of the maple syrup. The question, for me, is whether the baking elevates these ingredients beyond if I'd just had blueberries and maple syrup. About that, I'm not sure.

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

Love, love, and more love! So adorable and by far the best breakfast biscuit of my life! And I've…read morehad a lot! I will dream of this one as the benchmark until I have it again. This is such a good spot! An active butcher shop with a deli/bakery section selling grab and go goodies, breakfast sandwiches as well as other sandwiches and hosting dinner pop-ups with local businesses featuring delicious BBQ, steak, and other sundries AND they have a soft serve ice cream stand?! I've died and gone to heaven. My husband ordered a burger with fries - delicious burger with hand-cut fries that he adored and I had the breakfast biscuit sandwich with cheese, egg, and sausage. Sooo good! We sat outside on the shaded patio and our toddler had a good time running around in the spaces and enjoying the fresh greenery and flowers. Staff were very friendly and patient, despite the crowd at the time and food was fresh and delicious and well worth a short wait. Delicious! Absolutely recommend and a place I would come frequently if I lived nearby.

This is also known as home kitchen bakery. It's part of the home kitchen cafe. Their #1 cold sub is…read moremy #1 for life. I first went here when it was in the adjoining room as close to home. I think there was difficulty staffing that (a common problem in Maine) so they have scaled down. The sandwiches are phenomenal. Only served until 2:30 each day. The hot peppers, balsamic vinegar and oil make these sandwiches. Make sure you just get everything on your sandwich. The service is still quite slow, which is probably due to staffing but it's an issue. There are many gluten free options but it is not a gluten free bakery. No outside food is allowed (don't bring in your Wasses!) Be a real Mainer and chomp those down in your car.

It's a really cute little market with tons of grab and go items, drinks, and sundries but also a thriving deli and bakery counter. We showed up during a rush and there were like 20 people in line, it moved fairly quickly and we ordered a veggie frittata, a ham and cheese panini, and a slice of a Maine Blueberry Huckle Pie I believe and it was moist and decadent and really, really good. My husband loved it. They had pasta salad, chicken salad, breakfast burritos, breakfast biscuits, and tons and tons of baked goodies. I wanted to try cookies and muffins, and cakes and some of the other items but, we'd already indulged in a few other stores so, we stuck with our breakfast items and the Blueberry Huckle Cake slice. Loved it. Parking can be tight but, you can invent a spot as long as you aren't blocking someone in and it seems to work out.

They also sell baked treats, hot foods, bagged/fancy snacks and home goods. There's seating inside & out but even better taking the .5 mile hike down to the beach to eat! 10/10 find, I love taking people here

We custom ordered a pumpkin ginger loaf with hazelnuts and looked forward to enjoying it. We picked it up on Thursday and ate a slice on Friday. Besides the loaf being badly overcooked and burnt, this caused us some stomach insertion and discomfort. Not sure why but they are so kind so this is not my first choice. Nevertheless this should not have been sold to us if they care about all customers, locals and tourist alike, like we were. I decided to have a second slice this morning to see if Friday's stomach discomfort was a fluke but again the same thing happened. We just tossed the loaf into the garbage can. No hate just love but apparently the $10.99 ($8.99 plus $2.00 tip) means more to them than their reputation. Sorry but you left us no choice. Good luck and wish you well!

The storefront is adorable with its red barn color and Victorian vibe, and inside you'll find cozy seating areas both indoors and outdoors, perfect for lingering a bit after shopping. The staff here are beyond friendly and helpful. In fact, this is the very place where the "blueberry pie survey" happened. We asked the lady behind the register where to find the best blueberry pie, and she started to ask customers who came by who they recommended. They directed us to Moody's Diner. Locals and staff alike are quick to share stories and recommendations, which makes it feel like you're part of the community even if you're just passing through. The store itself is full of surprises. They've got a wood-burning pizza oven (yes, in a general store, how cool is that?), hot lattes, teas, and other comforting drinks, because nothing beats sipping a latte in a Victorian-style shop while digging into a fresh out of the wood burning oven gooey cheesy slice of pizza. Add in their great selection of beer and wine, plus Maine classics like whoopie pies and Moxie soda, and you've got something for everyone. A local gentleman even gave me the full history of Moxie, and that kind of friendliness is exactly what makes this place so special. Outside, you'll find pretty flowers and herbs adding to the charm. Owen's is quaint, welcoming, and one of those stops that makes a Maine trip extra memorable. Definitely worth a visit or 5! I'll most def be going back!
