“My girlfriends and I stopped into this little diner on a whim, and I’m so glad we did! The food was absolutely delicious (classic comfort food done right!) Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and our meals came out surprisingly fast. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier!! They treated us like regulars from the moment we walked in. You can really feel the heart and pride they put into their place. Definitely one of those hidden gems that makes you wish every restaurant still had this kind of charm and hospitality. We’ll absolutely be back!”

Highly recommend.”

“As an expatriate of New England (Massachusetts and Maine) and an avid preparer & eater of fresh seafood all my life, I can categorically state that the shipment of lobsters and steamers we received last week from Intershell was the best we've ever had since I moved to the midwest 30 years or more ago. The lobsters were 2 1/2 pounders. They were lively, sweet, tender, and delicious. And despite their large size, the clams were clean (clear of grit) and *most importantly* tender and sweet. The seafood was very well packaged, arrived on time and, while not inexpensive, the price was competitive. The best seafood dinner we've had in years! We will definitely be ordering from you again!”

“We were looking for ice cream places and this one popped up eventually! It should be everyone’s first choice! They have such unique and creative flavors. Never had better ice cream in my life. They deserve all of the hype and praise.”

“Had an amazing dinner highly recommended.. I will definitely be back”

“I love hidden treasures! If I feel like a real treat….it’s their Thanksgiving roll up! Everyone is so pleasant & helpful! Yummy 🫶”

“Alexandra’s Bread makes the best whole wheat bread I have ever tasted, and I have done my share of sampling all over New England and beyond. The owners are warm, lovely, friendly people who run a high quality bakery. Although I am particularly partial to their whole wheat bread, all of their products (scones, cookies, olive bread, brownies, etc. etc.) are excellent and sold at a very reasonable price.”

“I’ve lived in Glosta close to 50 years and love a good pastry. Caffe Sicilia is my favorite place to go for a pick me up or a good craving. The cannolis IMHO are the best in town and I never discriminate when it comes to food.. Despite often being slammed with customers, the customer service is first rate. Want a good pastry? Think Caffe Sicilia it does not disappoint.”

“We stopped while on vacation to grab a couple of cupcakes. We are from the south, and are honestly used to sickeningly sweet cupcakes that you have to scrape most of the icing off to eat the cupcake… These cupcakes were delicious! The frosting was light and fluffy and the cupcake was light and sweetened just right. Such a pleasant surprise! I would rate this one of the very best cupcakes I’ve ever had! Just delicious! My kids enjoyed the cake pop and the sugar cookies as well! Thank you for a delightful dessert after eating at the Blue Collar Lobster next door! (Which was also delicious!)”

“loved my tacos and will go back again!”

“excellent ice cream! ask for 1/2 a kiddie size and thank me later! huge portions!”

“Best kombucha I have ever had. I will never be able to drink the stuff at the supermarkets again. The stuff at the supermarkets only tastes like vinegar. The stuff made by P.C. Ferments has real flavor to it. I think my favorite is the spruce. Like Mountain Dew with out the sweet. Have with it something spicy with it and tell me what you think. The only downside is if you try it yourself you’ll realize the difference and you might not be able to go back to that supermarket wannabe, poser kombucha ever again. Cotton and coffee got lucky.”

“Oh my. We are from out of town. Immediately, we felt very welcome! The food was delicious. We have the 5 cheese dip, and burgers! It was all amazing. 2 people in our party got cake and it was so good. I ate more than I should have and am sooo full!”

“A beautifully curated store with local organic produce, baked goods and coffee, prepared foods, interesting wine and beer selection, body care and extensive vitamin department, clothing, candles. I find my favorite smoked shoyu here. People who work here are friendly and go to extra lengths to help. Combined with a walk on the beach and sifting through the thrift shops across the street, the Common Crow Market makes for a great day trip from Boston.”

“The bartender is awesome beautiful, so that's a W for sure but shes always dancing around and her vibes are contagious. Poors a hell of a drink and always smiling ! My favorite part is FRIDAYS when Dj skully is Blazing beats. Awesome spot.

Vegetarian options: Who cares it's a bar.. maybe icecubes?”

I went inside so I didn't have to have my husband go thru the drive thru (he's not a coffee person) They were friendly and it only took about 2 mins to get my coffee. It's on a busy street, a corner and it was difficult to take a left out of the parking lot but I would definitely go again!”

They did not miss any details. The interior is so beautiful and inviting, the food menus are eclectic and there isn’t a bad seat in the house. Recently ran into a self created 😂 snag, and Lauren went above and beyond duty and out of her way to resolve it! Don’t miss the Beauport.”
