They do have sugar free syrups for the coffees even though they are not listed on the board. The only plant milk available is oat. You have to add your own milk in the back corner.

The shop has an amazing variety of interesting gifts, books, and artwork a level above the kitschy touristy stuff. The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. Most importantly, the proprietor does a great job skillfully and efficiently filling orders while being genuinely friendly. A great place to start the day or enjoy an afternoon treat, Northstar Coffee is a "must stop" destination for locals and folks just visiting for a short while. Highly recommended!

We are in Robbinston ME and went looking for ice cream. Polar Treat sells Hood, Giffords, and…read moreShaker Pond brand hard ice cream. The majority of their hard flavors are Giffords. The servings are massive! A hard serve kiddie, described on their menu as 1 scoop, is definitely at least two scoops, each serving size is larger than the last with pricing increasing accordingly. A kiddie is $3.50 and so on. The staff are friendly, fast, and efficient. The place is strictly take out for both good and ice cream however they do have a food hall with screened in windows you can sit inside to eat your order. Everything is clean, and nicely decorated! We ordered four ice creams in cups and a shake. The smalls were at least three scoops. Giffords Ice cream is ok. Hood ice cream is meh. None of us ordered Shaker Pond flavors. They are cash only and there is an ATM on site. The business has been serving up treats for 70 years! They serve food as well; we only ordered ice cream. They are right on historic route one, which you can follow along the coast of Maine for a gorgeous drive!

It carries a modest selection of hardware store essentials, but is superb for pantry goods and supplies. They have a great selection of herbs, grains, teas, some health foods, local goods, and all at a great price. They also carry a decent selection of cookware for both indoors and out, making this a great one-stop for your kitchen needs, and the best place to go in Machias. I go here whenever I run out of a spice, and always find a few extra things while I am at it. Its a good thing Machias is too small for a Trader Joe's. This is one of those great local stores that larger chains kill.

And that's the case! Aside from checking out the mama and baby animals of all kinds, the blueberries are the best done around and the goat cheese. A M A Z I N G!! It's the creamiest most delicious goat cheese I've ever had! Our favorite is the Italian but it sells out fast, garlic is second and chive and pepper is great as well. Plain is just deliciously simple and the goat's milk feta is out of this world. On top of all of that they have home made lotions, soaps and other goodies for sale. Always polite and helpful, always best quality, best deal and a MUST stop if you're within an hour of this place!!!

The cheeses here are made with care. I liked the "cami" and other aged cheeses a lot. The other goat cheeses were not goat-y enough lacking that zing that you get in a goat cheese.
