I wish they'd hang a big sign saying "go outside for phone calls". It really ruins the buzz when you have to listen to someone talk (loudly) to their client for 30'...

Interesting menu, cute decor, friendly staff. Frittata was very good, as was the fried eggs with sautéed greens. But the star of breakfast was the blueberry pancakes.

We got an egg and cheese (they'd already run out of bacon and we got there late), a slice of frittata, and a biscuit. Also got a bagel but we are saving it for tomorrow. The frittata is absolutely delicious (it was spinach, sun-dried tomato's, mozzarella, and sweet potato) and had such a wonderfully surprising kick of heat from the lightly sprinkled red chili flakes and sea salt. The egg and cheese was also so delicious! Looking forward to returning and trying their sweet pastries and beverages!

First time visiting this Sherman's location, on a busy Sunday summer day. Firstly I will say…read morealthough we did not grab anything at the cafe it was a great touch to see they have one. Like all the Sherman locations my wife and I have visited they are not just simply a bookstore. They have a wide variety of souvenirs and other goodies you may want to buy. Book wise they have a good variety of new and popular along with classics and organize them neatly in well marked areas by genre with some Maine focused book areas even. During our visit it was very busy and my wife found a couple books that piqued her interest. I do think due to how much of the area is touristy and distance from me I likely wouldn't seek this particular location out again. Much closer locations with better overall set up. Nothing outright negative about this one besides some areas really lacking space for a busy store making it hard to move. Glad to have now visited this one! If you are visiting from away visit here and check out one of the locations of Maine's oldest bookstores, add it to your list. Some other great shops and good spots to eat nearby.

So I've been on the hunt around Maine for the best Whoopie pie. This one has hit my top 3. (After…read moreAllyKats and the Amish of Whitefield). Spears Farm offered two flavors today? The traditional chocolate, and then a pumpkin with cream cheese. I'm a Whoopie pie traditionalist. I don't care for the fancy flavors, I want the real true Maine Whoopie flavors. This Whoopie was delicious! It had that nice dense semi sweet cake, that's kind of sticky. I hate the super dry fluffy Whoopie. NO THANK You. This was perfect. The cream inside was amazing.its too bad they don't list the ingredients of their "frosting" on the package. Because I am trying to pin point what the specific ingredient is in my favorite Whoopie pies, that set them apart from others. Spears frosting is similar to the frosting they use at applewald farm in Litchfield. It has a little bit of a zip to it. Salt? Cream of tartar? A certain kind of vanilla? I don't know. But I like this! Yum! Ok so aside from Whoopie pies, they offer local meats and cheeses, seasonal produce, which right now it was just greens, and some tiny tomatoes, Cukes, early summer squash. But there's more coming! They offer honey, maple syrup, jams and jellies. It's very nice inside their farm stand, everything is clean and tidy and organized in a "ohh I need that!" Shopper inspiration kind of way. I always make a point to stop here when traveling through Waldoboro, which sadly, is only about twice a year.

She greeted multiple guests coming in to simply browse--fielding challenging questions by seemingly discerning clientele. She took her expertise of tea product and brew technique to greater levels of nuance with a pressing customer while making others feel un-ignored simultaneously. By the end of my visit the tea aficionado came away with his exacting tea needs, the browser purchased something new and adventurous for herself, and I purchased my requirement of a good quality Green. I'll be heading in again--making the drive from Boothbay Harbor--for my green tea goto and picking Alexandra's brain for new teas to try. -Rob BBH, Maine
