    The Place is such an incredible addition to the Midcoast, I'm not sure what we even did before Chelsea and Chris moved here. And I would be absolutely devastated if they left. I LOVE THE PLACE. My husband makes the effort of driving an hour and back at least one weekend a month to pick-up the best baguettes you've ever had (I lived in France for a year, don't come for me, I'm serious here) and the most incredible bagels (we're obsessed with the bagels) which are preorder only, and all the delicious pastries galore. We even cheated at Thanksgiving this year and included one of their pies, zero regrets. You can't go wrong with a single thing, unless of course you get there too late or you don't order ahead. Then you have gone wrong, no question. Thank you for existing, and for feeding us your delicious carbs.

    You know it's good when people are lining up in the cold rain 15 minutes before they open. We loved it.

    I rarely eat two pastries for breakfast, but when I do, I do it at The Place Bakery. I loved both the chocolate croissant and my morning bun.

    The daily selection of goodies.

    Specific Timing - Lunch at The Lost Kitchen (Tuesday, August 26, 2026)…read more Many have asked about how the "no reservations" walk-in lunches work at "The Little Lost Kitchen". So here's our recent experience, down to the minute! (Click on individual photos below for more details). We arrived at the parking lot at about 10:30AM on Tuesday August 26. I counted 30 folks on line ahead of us at 10:35. The first was positioned at the foot of the bridge on the parking lot side. At 11:00AM, I turned around and counted 50 folks behind us! An employee came out and started walking down the line, taking names and party sizes. At 11:10, they sent the "first wave" of 25 people over bridge. They explained they don't want folks waiting on the middle of the bridge, so they only send over as many as they can easily handle in the Ordering area. At 11:25, they sent over a "second wave" including my party. I got to the Ordering Counter and placed my order at 11:45AM. The food started coming out to our table shortly after. Salad right away, soup next, then the fried chicken basket. We finished our lunch right around 12:45, and as we went back across the bridge, I counted about 25 folks on line. So there were actually much fewer people at 12:45 then at 10:45. (Of course, all the dining tables were full, so people were likely being seated much slower that during the initial big opening). The entire experience and food was terrific as many others have posted! The stated "Open Hours" are Tuesday to Saturday, 11:00 to 2:30. I asked if they really went to 2:30PM, and a staffer said yes, but you probably would not want to show up too much later than say 1:30 to avoid being rushed or finding some items sold out. Someone else posted in this group that staffers have said 1 to 1:30 is a very good time to show up. As for dates, I've heard lunch service will run into October, but I don't know a specific date and that's been addressed in other posts (a search in this group for "October" will likely do the trick). Our Lunch: Heirloom Tomatoes - Fresh Burrata, Basil, Charred Lemon Vinaigrette, Flaky Salt   Carrot & Coriander Soup - Bread & Butter   Summer Caesar - Farm Fresh Romaine Head, Purple Basil, Pecorino, Toast Crumbles   Cornflake & Fennel Pollen Fried Chicken - Cabbage Slaw, Homemade Biscuit & Honey Butter   Blueberry & Peach Shortcake - Candied Ginger, Whipped Cream

    I was looking for a special Maine blueberry pie for my partner when I came across Mount Dessert…read morePies. That man knows blueberry pies. We decided to get one on our way out of town and I'm so incredibly glad we did. Another review says these are the best pies on earth. They're not exaggerating. At all. That blueberry pie was the best pie on earth. I don't need to describe every detail. It's absolute perfection. Seriously, this pie is so good you might have to admit it's better than your grandmother's. The location is tucked away on the main road in and out of Bar Harbor. It's so cute! One sister runs the bakery while the other runs the Bed & Breakfast (which looks absolutely adorable). I'd go back and stay at their b&b just to eat pie all day everyday.

Mount Desserts Pie Company had thousands of positive reviews, so we decided that's where we had to go. When you arrive, there is a handmade sign on the side of the highway for the shop and the driveway to pull in is a little tricky and takes a minute to figure it out. We pulled up right in front of the doors. Tip: turning right after you enter the driveway says "exit" only, so you have to pull straight ahead, even if it seems like you're not supposed to park there. We headed inside and were greeted by a friendly woman named Brit who had a ton of pie boxes ready to go! We got our blueberry pie and ate half of it in the car after we drove away. The pie was exactly what we wanted: fresh, local, great texture, and buttery crust. It was perfection! Another tip: it's cash or Venmo only and you can call ahead. $35 per pie. It's whole pies only, they don't sell by the slice.

    We stopped here on our way home to CT yesterday! I had seen Momo's bakery on TV I believe on CBS…read moreearlier in the year and I was like, I have to visit this spot when I visit Maine! I was actually reminded by a nice girl who worked at the Primrose Inn in Bar Harbor, her name is Elle, that we must add to our Maine bucket list to stop by this cheesecake spot that her and her friends drive all the way to when they get out of work at night! I was so glad she reminded me. We did not have a cooler, and with a 7 hour drive I knew I could only pick one slice. It was a very, very tough decision to make. I had to go with the tradition slice! I am so glad I did. I have had so many meh cheesecakes that I guess I just never had a good one! So creamy and thick and just OMG. I wish I got 3 more slices. This was the most amazing cheesecake I have ever had. I will be dreaming of this until I can visit Maine again next summer. Momo, you do an amazing job. Keep doing what you're doing. Your product is absolutely out of this world!

    I don't know what to talk about first. The cheesecake. Their business model. Trust. Faith…read more Okay, the cheesecake. FRICKEN' AMAZING and DELICIOUS. Every single flavor that we tried...... and we had a really difficult time deciding which flavors to try of their 60 +/- flavors AT ALL TIMES. We didn't want to be pigs about it... well, actually, we DID want to be pigs, but we didn't let ourselves, and it was darn difficult to limit how many flavors to try out of 60. Every piece was fresh, perfectly made cheesecake, and every flavor was well represented. Being in Maine, we HAD to try blueberry cheesecake. We also tried strawberry, lemon blueberry, cannoli, apple crisp, and s'mores. Sad to say, we never finished them, but we tried them all, and they lasted a good long while. All were perfect and delicious. Now, for their business model. Imagine a business open 24/7... the doors are always open, and NOBODY is working in the storefront with the exception of people (the owners, I'm assuming) loading in more cheesecake flavors when they run out. The business is run COMPLETELY on the honor system. If memory serves, there are 3 ways to pay, but I only recall with specificity the Venmo way to pay cuz that's what I used. I think they accepted checks and one more way to pay, but I don't really recall. Let me be clear, though... it is up to each individual to be on their honor system and pay for what they want to take. Where else on this earth do you know of any retail type shop where people are left to their honor to pay for goods? I have never heard of nor seen any such thing like this before. I could have just as easily walked right out with my cheesecake slices and not paid for any of them. Nobody would have known. They don't check. They don't ask. I'm so impressed by this business model and the fact that it works !!!! I witnessed it. Everyone was paying. It truly is a testament about faith and trust, and it still works. This is just brilliant. Momo's also sells gargantuan pieces of carrot cake, which we did not try, as well as whoopie pies, which we also didn't try. If they sell other items besides the above, I just didn't see them, but I think they have quite enough already. Sixty + flavors of cheesecake alone should keep people happy. The only downside to Momo's is that we live nowhere near it, but I'm truly glad for the experience we had.

We were greeted by two friendly counter ladies who took our order. They accommodated my request for paper boxes versus plastic shell containers. My Stromboli was hot and ready and it didn't take long for my husband's sandwich to get made. Both were yummy!! Prices are average for the meals and I would say the sweets are very reasonably priced. The dining area is spacious and pleasant. They have high and standard tables. They sell three kinds of Maine coffee: CBD, Upta Camp and Mbingo mountain (roasted and packed in Waterville). It is located in the heart of downtown Waterville. The entrance has automated doors (press the blue button kind) and no steps. They are open everyday but Sunday!

Tips assumed at point of sale are 20%, 25%, or 30%. Food is similar to what I have seen in gas stations and corporate self-serve cafeteria - only more expensive, and no one at the self-serve asked for a tip. There are places to sit and eat what was purchased. There are large windows to watch the activity on the street while eating, so there is that.
