Rivals Levain Bakery cookies that have locations in major cities including Boston and NYC. Actually, I think the cookies at The Sweet Bite are better - fresh, excellent ratio of crunchy exterior to gooey moist interior, just the right amount of sweetness, and fun flavors! read more

My husband is a Cookie Monster, and he loves him a classic chocolate chip cookie. Naturally, while walking town when he saw this spot, we were coming inside. We were greeted by the friendly Chris, who explained the cookies, made recommendations and chatted with us about how he came to be in town and where he's from - coincidence that we're from Virginia area?! Small world. In the end, we went with the two faves my husband couldn't choose between: classic chocolate chip and red velvet. These cookies were stellar. Perfectly cooked, crisp on the outside but not too crisp, and a little squishy on the inside. The red velvet had some creamy white stuffing inside that was to die for. I wanted to come back for more and more and get some for the plane but these cookies are so big, we decided two was enough for a three day weekend. Do yourself a favor and stop in here. Support a small business and also, eat these amazing cookies! read more

Ok so you are headed to Bar Harbor and you already know that Bar Harbor is bougie and upscale and all that. You also already know that there is really nothing there that isn't expensive. I mean, sure you can find some pretty reasonable priced things there in the millions of tourist shops they have because GURL! Bar Harbor has TONS of tourist shops and they basically all have the exact same thing as the next but for some reason....you have to go into all of them because maybe...JUST MAYBE...you will find that one unique thing that none of the other stores have. Good luck with that haha! One unique thing you will see is this place called...The Sweet Bite. Again, Bar Harbor...rich people, coastal town, rich people, beautiful homes on the ocean, rich people, fancy restaurants galore...and you guessed it...rich people lol. This was my first time in Bar Harbor and honestly, I CANNOT WAIT to go back! One reason being...The Sweet Bite! So when you go on holiday for some reason so many of us are just so ok with throwing money away at the most random of things. This place is a PRIME example of that. Their cookies are $7.49...for ONE cookie! ONE! Are they a good size? Sure they are. Should they be almost $8 for one? No cookie should ever cost that much. I hate that Crumbl is now almost $5! Crumbl is garbage now. They are not even remotely as good as they used to be. The Sweet Bite tho...OH. MY. GOD!!! Ok! So you know how you see chocolate chip cookies in commercials and some happy girl or guy takes a bite and they do that thing where they pretend they are about to have some fall out of their mouth and they quickly put their hand under their chin to catch whatever might fall? Then they look at each other and like giggle and you are left to think they are saying "omg! look at me! I almost dropped this!" or "omg! This almost fell out of my mouth! heheheheh" LOL! and the cookie is always so soft and gooey and the chocolate chips are so warm that the chocolate literally drips down....well.... Thats exactly how The Sweet Bite cookies are. You bite into them and the chocolate literally oozes and drips and NO thats not a bad thing because these cookies are FKING INCREDIBLE! ...I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E!!!! I have absolutely never had any cookie this amazing. I LOVE cookies! LOVE them! I rarely eat them anymore after basically kicking all sugary treats from my life. I still have treats, but nothing like I used to. Again, $8 for a cookie ..ONE cookie is criminal, but do I regret getting this cookie? a little LOL, but like 2% of me regrets it while the other 98% of me was SO happy to get one....so much so...I went back the following day and got another LOL. And now I wanna go back and one of the first things I will do....is go to Sweet Bite. These cookies put all the others to shame. Forget Crumbl, forget Insomnia, etc. OH WAIT! Sadly, this isn't a chain. However, in a way, I am glad it isn't. Look what happened to Crumbl and the quality of their cookies. Place spread like wildfire across the country and now the quality of their cookies went waaaaaay dowwwwwwn while the prices of their cookies went WAY. UP!!! They used to be $3.49. Thats a good price, still pricey, but a decent price for Crumbl. I hope Sweet Bite doesn't get greedy (or more greedy lol). They know tourists will pay for them, but still...I think the price now, even high as it is, is where it should stay. DELICIOUS! DELICIOUS! DEEEELICIOUS!!!! UGH! SO! good! Guy working there, glasses, dark hair, commented that he liked my mustache and the next day he met my dog and was nice to him....he was the nicest guy. Anyone who is nice to my little Alfred is ok in my book. He is truly a great employee and whoever hired him...did a great thing. He is a wonderful representation for that company. He's so good, he helps you forget that you are spending almost $8 on ONE cookie haha! Wait until you just walk by and smell this place. You won't be able to help yourself. You will for sure walk in and get one or two ...or a dozen. Imagine buying a dozen at $7.49 a piece x 12...plus tax...haha, over $90 for cookies and I GUARANTEE they sell them like that daily....because yes, again, they are FN INCREDIBLE!! When you hear "gourmet cookies" this is legit...a gourmet cookie. Check them out! I SWEAR TO YOU you will not be disappointed! If for some reason you are....I will automatically just assume you are a sad miserable person who looks for things to be sad at miserable about LOL. This is the happy cookie! Even after spending that much on one cookie....you take one bite and you legit forget that it was one of the most expensive cookies you have ever bought because they are THAT delicious! Thanks for reading, YelpereeSweetBIters! I so wish they could ship some of these to me in Idaho haha! Id be a happy btch! haha! Cheers! read more

Wow talk about homemade cookies made fresh! I went late at night and a lot of the cookies were sold out or in the process of being made. I really wanted a chocolate chip cookie but the helper said it would be a wait. So went with the Dubai chocolate cookie. Having been to Dubai and had the real thing there's no real comparison but the cookie was good. Dense in chocolate and hella sweet. It was $10 for a small but mighty cookie. Even for SF resident this still seems high. Other than that if you're out for a treat not a bad choice! read more

These are perhaps the best cookies in Maine. A mix between a cookie and a brownie maybe for purists, but who cares what they think. I don't know, I am stuck -- best cookies in a tri-state? It's hard to determine, I know they were better than most all of the ones in my region. We had only one and regretted it for the rest of the trip. Don't be like us - buy them all; let me know how great it is. We went at a time where they'd only recently opened and were pleased that we lucked into the visit. The choice there was better than most everything in the rest of the bar harbor tourist circuit strip. Don't be fooled by this one being there, and it's worth the higher cost. Can you bring me some? read more

Friendly service. Chocolate espresso cookie was amazing!! Expensive, but delicious. Parking is tough around here. No place to eat inside, but the park is right across the street. read more

The chocolate peanut butter cookie was unreal. This place is pretty bare bones but I think they just opened. The worker was super friendly and patient. $7 for a cookie seems pretty steep but not going to lie, I would probably pay it again. The cookie was still warm/melty. It's a tiny little spot with no where to sit down. I wish I could have bought water or milk, we went down the street and grabbed some drinks and had a night time snack in the park. read more

Very small shop with a small selection of cookies. We got the chocolate chip walnut and chocolate chip espresso cookies and both were delicious! Only reason I gave 4 stars is because $7 a cookie was a bit much and if they were warm it would have been better. There is also no place to sit inside to eat so remember it's grab and go. read more

These are truly the best chocolate chip cookies we've ever eaten, we went back and bought four more for the ride home!! They are crispy and chewy cookies and perfectly golden brown, genuinely the perfect cookie. We did also get some of the other flavors, chocolate pb, red velvet, and double chocolate espresso and they were all great but the classic chocolate chip really stole the show. The man behind the counter was amazing and even told us how to reheat them in the oven for the full experience when we go home. Overall great experience and will be back to get some more of these delicious cookies. read more

We come to Bar Harbor every year and I was so excited to see a cookie shop. My husband had the chocolate chip and I had the red velvet cookie. It was so good that we stopped by to grab more before we took the ferry to Nova Scotia. A week later, on our way back home on the ferry, we had to stop to grab cookies before leaving Bar Harbor. Shop owner was also super nice! Looking forward to next year's vacation already! read more

I make really good cookies so I am super picky about getting one when I'm out. Something about The Bite called to me. The gentleman who owns the shop was as nice as could be and had such a great vibe. He had samples of his pistachio white chocolate cookie, which was amazing. We just got home and I'm eating my chocolate chip walnut which sounds kind of boring. But it is the best cookie I have ever had. Even better than the ones that I make. read more

My son and I visited after dinner and tried the red velvet cookie. He loved it and we went back for another cookie. Excellent service and friendly owner. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped in recently during a visit to Bar Harbor. If you like cookies that are crispy on the outside and soft inside, this place is for you. The cookies are about an inch high in the middle. I wanted a Dubai Chocolate one but they were out. I decided to go with the Rocher one and it was delicious! There was an actual rocher in the middle. There were hazelnuts on top of the cookie and chocolate chips throughout. Highly recommend! read more

Huge cookies full of toppings. The Ferrero Rochet cookie and the chocolate peanut butter cookies were amazing. Friendly staff.

We stopped in today while walking around Bar Harbor and were SO glad we did! What a treat! These cookies are delicious and the service was wonderful! They've only been open about a month now and they're still getting things up and running but I'm positive they're going to make a great addition to the area. We drove 2.5 hours for a day trip and said we would make the drive again just for these cookies! Stop in and try them out, you'll be happy you did! read more

These might be the best cookies I've ever had! We were looking for a sweet treat and came upon this little store across from the park in Bar harbor.
