Stopped by twice for the blueberry pie! This is the best pie around. Located right on Maine street, the staff was very friendly. Everyone loves the pies and the little one was all over the delicious ice cream. We stop by every year for the homemade pies and we'll be back next year too. More

We topped off our delicious lunch sandwiches and "to die for" sweet potato fries with a generous slab of the best key lime pie ever. I suspect it was that chocolate crust! The owners, an interesting couple who choose to decorate their place with lovely pictures of their kids and themselves, made the experience a truly down east welcoming one.... More

My husband and I stopped there today. Our waitress was delightful. Husband had the turkey melt wrap; I had the turkey melt on rye. Both were warm, fresh, and delicious! Then we each ordered a slice of warm blueberry pie. Well, we could have easily split one slice because it is so packed with berries, one slice is like two... More

We had a late lunch of the special turkey melt wraps and the fish and chips. Both were great. But the best was the apple pie - pecan struesel topping and loads of apples. My son had a chocolate chip cookie that was huge and delicious. Frances and Ralph are the owners; they are very personable. Hightly recommend dropping in... More

This is such a delightful place to visit, from the pizza to the sandwiches to the ice cream to the must-have blueberry pie. You can't miss this cafe if you are visiting Mount Desert Island. More
