However when I reached out to the owner for a reservation she was so sweet and communicated back that she's a one woman show no other employee, a college student (which is why the schedule is limited) working to make this business successful, I knew we would go regardless if it was a rainy day so we made reservations for another night. We made reservations for 8:30 so we could get dinner and dessert out of the way and could enjoy some glow bowling. I messaged her our shoe sizes ahead of time, she had them out and ready for us upon arrival. We had the best time! If you are in the area def. try to support this small business owner. Be patient as she is her only employee and have fun!

The historic building has a tin roof and a wooden bar that eeks history. Our waitress was so welcoming and made us feel right at home. I enjoyed the roasted tomato burrata baguette sandwich and it was toasted and tasty. Several of my dining partners also had the same sandwich. Another had the Warm Roasted Root Vegetable Salad that she said was wonderful. We finished the meal with generous portions of carrot cake topped with delicious cream cheese frosting. There is a store inside the Black Moon (that happened to be closed on a Saturday night). In the corner they sell vinyl records and CDs and there is also a selection of guitars. There was also a musician playing live music near the front of the pub that really added to the atmosphere. It was a truly great find right on Main Street in Ellsworth.

Conscious Cafe is absolutely divine. They were a highlight meal on our recent vacation to the…read moreAcadia National Park area. Conscious Cafe is a small, tucked away neighborhood cafe inside a yoga studio. Their manu is carefully curated to nourish and replenish you body and soul. I really can't say enough about our experience here. We stopped by for an early lunch. I ordered the sweet potato soup as well as a coffee beverage. I typically don't like flavored beverages made with anything but espresso. Theirs are made with coffee and are outstanding. Zero complaints on the coffee. Their food is made fresh to order so takes a little while as when I was there, it was a bit of a one man show. The soup came came with crispy shallots and a drizzle of balsamic reduction. It was ginger kissed and one of the best sweet potato soups I have ever had. It was served with a side of crusty sourdough with the lightest smidge of ghee. It paired perfectly with the soup. The dining area is warm and comfortable with the kitchen easily viewable. You order at the counter and then the chef will bring you your meal. It's not a quick meal, but I promise you it will be worth the wait. Get to it!

Maybe one of the wait staff was off or the rain drove everyone inside. We ordered drinks and got those. After about 20 minutes we were able to order. The wait staff was honest when I asked about the hash and said it isn't homemade. Food came out about 30 minutes later. They were hopping now! The food was excellent and made up for the long wait. Bacon that perfect spot between soggy and crisp, really tasty and crispy home fries. The pancakes were good, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Order the Maine maple syrup!! When the bill came I noticed that the short stack of pancakes we wanted, 2 pancakes, one with chocolate chips and one plain was charged as 2 individual ones plus the chocolate chips instead of a stack with chocolate chips. Short stack is $5.55 and they charged us $3.75 per pancake plus $1.75 for chocolate chips. All she had to say was we would be charged for individual pancakes but nothing! That was a major disappointment. Otherwise this would be 5 stars.

I drank OJ but at the bar they serve drinks so if ya want a Bloody or a Mimosa, they have it! Server was nice, but I didn't get her name. Prices were fair or maybe modest for the quality of food! Come enjoy! Roadside parking on Main St or lots of parking behind Finn's across the street. Big parking lot, lots of space and I was in a Jeep pulling a trailer! Have a great dining experience!
