My family has been making whoopie pies for decades and every time I go to Maine, we try to find pies that remind us of the ones that we make! This visit was similar to our last visit... with the same service that other reviewers seem to be miffed about, but we did enjoy the whoopies again! We ordered the classic, the chocolate chip, and chocolate lovers. The chocolate lovers was a bit overly sweet. The classic was very good!

We were only third or fourth in line. We waited outside and along the bridge; it was beautiful! The food was very good and we tried nearly everything offered. It was very fast service and friendly. The only tricky thing is tables. It would be helpful to have someone directing to tables because some people grabbed tables before they had even ordered. (The best system for this I've ever seen was at Biscuit Love in Nashville. Super long (but fast) counter ordering, and then their staff takes you to a table based on the size of your group. It was kind of amazing.)

Little did we know that the farmer's Market was canceled due to the extreme heat wave, BUT Erin decided to serve lunch. We could t believe it! We had her fried chicken and strawberry shortcake. Wow! It was beautifully served even on cardboard boxes. Erin was working in her small kitchen making this delicious blessing for all who came. The heat we complained about became a blessing in disguise. I think there might be a life lesson in there too. We met Erin and as we were leaving met Michael. They are genuinely hospitable people who make you feel welcome.

We were greeted by the friendly Chris, who explained the cookies, made recommendations and chatted with us about how he came to be in town and where he's from - coincidence that we're from Virginia area?! Small world. In the end, we went with the two faves my husband couldn't choose between: classic chocolate chip and red velvet. These cookies were stellar. Perfectly cooked, crisp on the outside but not too crisp, and a little squishy on the inside. The red velvet had some creamy white stuffing inside that was to die for. I wanted to come back for more and more and get some for the plane but these cookies are so big, we decided two was enough for a three day weekend. Do yourself a favor and stop in here. Support a small business and also, eat these amazing cookies!

The menu is a great mix of drinks, desserts, and dessert-drink combos. A group of 5 of us arrived and waited about 10 minutes for spots at the bar. The inside is pretty small but optimized with both bar and booth seating. The decor is so cute and whimsical. I loved all of the details! The desserts are pricey (most are around $15-20), but the portions are big enough to share with at least 1 other person. I got the Chocolate Chip Cookie Royale, which really hit the sweet-salty spot with a warm choc chip cookie, salty sweet cream ice cream, salted caramel, sesame brittle, and tahini whipped cream. The savorier elements allowed me to keep eating and not get overwhelmed by sweetness. My friends got the vegan peach crumble and chocolate cake and enjoyed theirs as well. Come with your sweet tooth, and leave happy and satisfied!

When I looked to my left and saw an actual root beer barrel shaped food stand, I knew I was going to have fun. The menu includes burgers, hotdogs, and root beer floats. I only wanted the float, but have since heard the burgers are pretty great too. The man behind the counter was kind and cheerful. When I asked about whether they carried more than one type of root beer, we got into a great conversation about our love of root beer. He had a few other root beers that a company was trying to push on him and he offered a few for me to try at a later time. While we talked he prepared my Eil's root beer float with locally made vanilla ice cream. He handed me my large cup and the bottle of the remaining root beer. The cup had a clear cover that he had taped down on the sides to keep it extra secure. There was both a spoon and straw for my consuming preferences too. Maybe it was that it was made with Eli's which is one of my favorites or that it was made with local ice cream.....or maybe both, any which way, it was one of the best root beer floats that I have had. Make sure to check out this place while racing down old route 3! It will be worth your time and money.

The penny candy available (while no longer a penny) is a delightful throwback to childhood, and being able to sample a wide variety of candy is a special treat. The store also has a wide selection of kitchen, home, stationary, kids games and toys. I did not partake, but I believe they also serve ice cream from a pick-up window on the outside of the store where there is also a nice seating area. It's in a really cute part of a mainly residential town so walking around the area eating your new penny candy is a great way to explore.

The crust on both was perfectly flaky, buttery, and absolutely delicious. The strawberry rhubarb struck that just right balance of sweetness with a bright citrusy lift, and the apple was the kind of all-American comfort you dream about for a fall wedding. We picked the pies up in person, and Apple Shed was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Planning from Arizona could have been tricky, but they were so accommodating and incredibly helpful, making the whole process seamless from afar. Truly outstanding pies and equally outstanding people. Highly recommend!
