We were in Rockland for a blues festival & decided to get some steps in on Main Street. Walked by…read moreRuckus Donuts and had to go in! They had been pretty well cleaned out by the attendees at the Saturday Club Crawl, but luckily an extremely yummy looking strawberry shortcake donut was available. I loved it! The strawberries were awesome, the cream was just right and the actual donut was "Frosty's" like - high praise from me! My only slight concern was that it was messy, could have used a fork, but licked all of whatever was on them!

Service, ambiance and food 5 stars. We recently had a…read morefabulous Middle Eastern dinner. Ordered the lamb with Orzo... mouth watering with incredible taste snd texture, falafel (Best ever and as a New Yorker of the Jewish persuasion I've eaten a lot of falafel) was incredibly moist. The accoutrements that went with it were outstanding and tasty as well. The three of us shared those two entrées as well as the beet salad which was scrumptious. The cocktails were fabulous... We enjoyed the margaritas which were fruity, flavorful and refreshing . For dessert, we shared the chocolate Babka . Don't tell my Bubbie that it was even better than hers. The only disappointment is that they close for the season, and that's what makes the place extra special for us . See you next year !

The Hoot continues its long tradition of inconsistent food and service…read more We arrived without reservation , the dining room was half full. We were seated promptly and waited 45 minutes for our food. I wouldn't object completely to the long wait , but the food that arrived was lackluster , and barely worth a mention here. I had eggs Benedict , eggs were overcooked and cold. My partner ordered the shasuka. This was an odd presentation with the eggs and sauce in a broiler dish , with pita bread and spinach on the side. I always assumed eggs and spinach , and sauce should all be together. Like so many restaurants I encounter in Maine , it's not that the food or service is that bad, but rather the fact that with minimal effort , it could be so much better.

I thought the food was good. Maybe a little less salt but good. No prices posted anywhere. You…read moreknow what they say, if you have to ask how much, you can't afford it. $70 for my daughter and I for breakfast. Not anything special. Two entrees and drinks. My daughter was so surprised at the bill that she couldn't eat. I told her she had better eat her $30 omelette or she was walking home... If money is no object for you I'm sure you will be fine here. I'm on budget and this place exceeded my means.

Excellent food and a very cute vibe right near the Belfast rail trail. I've been here many times…read moreover the past several years. This is a great stop a for mid morning coffee and muffin, lunch and I have taken home their meat lasagne for cooking at home. All are excellent. I believe their claim to fame is breakfast but I am not a breakfast eater. The inside seating area is small and you may find people in line hovering over your table if the place is busy. There are a few outdoor tables during the summer. The time from ordering to eating is often long if you are having a sandwich or something that requires cooking but it will be delicious. Pricing is expensive but quality is high. I've had mixed experiences on service. Sometimes super friendly, sometimes I feel like I am bothering them by being there and ordering lunch. Lunch items vary and are not posted online, you have to visit to see the offerings. Would go more often if we could see menu online and call in our order. Overall a great place tucked away in Belfast.

It wasnt a big salad but stuffed so tightly in the container I couldnt shake it to coat with the dressing.The chicken was cold too It cost about 14 bucks .

Stopped by to breakfast and ordered the salmon bagel and a tropical sunrise smoothie. Cute place…read more Fast service. However, the salmon bagel (lox) was THE worst I've ever had in my entire life. Bland, bagel wasn't toasted enough, and salmon was turning. No capers. Disgusting. I ate half of it simply because I was hungry and needed sustenance. May as well have been cat food. The sunrise smoothie was equally bland. Looked nothing like the photo. My smoothie was a pale pink whereas the photo has a smoothie that looks orange like a sunrise. Overpriced garbage. I won't be back.

Good donuts but kind of out of the way location (we drove right by it). Go early because by the…read moretime we got there the selection was very limited (at 10:30 AM). It appeared donuts were being made but we did not want to hang out or come back later so we took what was available. The donuts are on the small-ish side but that is reflected in the appropriate reasonable pricing. We saw mostly cake donuts which we prefer but I can assume yeast donuts are just as plentiful and tasty in the early morning. They also have coffee which is standard fare for a donut shop. This is definitely a locals shop and a quick grab and go for those on the run. a good stop considering there are not a lot of donut shops in the nearby communities.

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
