We also found some cannoli shells which were 50% off, and some imported chocolate hazelnut spread. Service is friendly, store layout and presentation are well thought out, prices are a bit high but they are understandable considering they have some unique and healthy offerings.

The folks that work there are absolute treasures, I genuinely do not know how they manage to find such incredibly quality people. The space is packed with beautiful local and specialty items, but it feels, somehow, intimate? It's a really special spot. Kudos to the whole crew there and hats off to the owners.

The coolest part of the groceries was a bucket of chicken from Jollibee as well as the mango peach pies. I asked the owner where he got them as there is no Jollibee anywhere near us he informed me that he went every Monday to New York and brought back all sorts of things. You can rest assured that I will go back and buy a lot of things. I see Chicken in my future.

I got the Chicken Tinga Quesadilla and they were delicious, so much flavor and came with a free side of pico, sour cream, guac, and shredded lettuce.

It is behind the music store right before the split to Kenduskeag and there is plenty of parking] Went in to check the store out in the recommendation of a friend, and I was not disappointed. They had a good assortment of different spices and foods that are very difficult (impossible!) to otherwise find in Bangor. They have a good assortment of different meats that might also be difficult to find here, as well as some lovely rice noodles that I like that, again, I have been unable to find up here. The lovely lady currently working at the store said that if they did not have something I needed, to let them know and they would try to get it. Great customer service, and a good selection so far. I can't wait to see what new inventory they add as business picks up and they grow and expand!

Meanwhile, they have kept going up and up on the sandwich prices (not unlike others out there) but at least when they were cheaper priced and you got a stale roll or soggy wet inside roll because they don't know how to make a sandwich (the wet veggies do NOT go on the roll if it's sitting on a shelf for a time)...at least you weren't out much. Maybe just a fluke - but not buying a sandwich there again.

Well I took a trip back to the 1960s today ala Bells Orono IGA. After hearing their jingle on the…read moreradio which for some reason sticks with me and I find myself singing it every time I see the store, I was a bit disappointed. This store is a relic from bygone days pre supermarket chains. That said I enjoy independent supermarkets and don't shy away from them. Sometimes they can be very surprising with local items and wares. Now I'll admit I've been here twice, first time to buy a rotisserie chicken, and second time to purchase beer, rice and chicken. Both times their rotisserie chicken was the driest, horrid flavor chicken I've ever had. What's odd too is the second time it was in a different container like they changed providers, but it still tasted horrible. I'm a lazy cook and purchase a lot of rotisserie chicken. A little tip try the new Walmart Garlic rotisserie chicken, it's restaurant delicious. Anyway my point is it wasn't an isolated incident. I will not make that mistake a third time. I'm giving 3 stars too reserve judgement as perhaps it's just the chicken. The produce looks good and plenty when walking in. Yes as other reviewers have pointed out it's. It the cleanest, but what IGA is? The staff are all very young, college students I guess and it always seems well staffed, never waited in line. They have hand written signs everywhere like "plainclothes police walking in store" which cracks me up considering how small the store is my imagination runs to some poor cop walking around 4 aisles for 8 hours. Now the meat department (sans deli ready cooked meals) look good and next time I'll go for a steak or the like. Looks like they must use a local butcher or do it themselves as they have more cuts of meat then I've ever seen at a grocery store. Also have beer, wine and liquor, and a great selection at that. So stay tuned for part 2 and hopefully better. But remember, stay away from the rotisserie chicken.....
