“Best blueberry pancakes I’ve ever had! Super cute atmosphere and fast service!“

“Best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had! Wonderful customer service 🌯“

“We checked this place out on a recommendation from our dinner waiter, and it was a nice find. Tucked just outside of town near the grocery store, it's super easy to get to whether you're walking or driving. The space is cozy with a laid-back vibe, and the menu has something for everyone--even those with dietary restrictions. The food and coffee were okay and the staff was sweet and helpful.“

“Perfect restaurant to take a young family. We have an infant and a 3 year old and you were so accommodating. The oysters (with delicious mignotte’s) chowder and lobster roll were on point. Thanks will definitely come back next trip to Bar Harbor.“

“Janice was recommended to us by our wedding planner for our July 2021 wedding. Her list of flavors is long and believe me, you could spend all day trying various combinations. For our tasting, every single slice we tasted was moist and amazing. We ended up getting a chocolate and yellow cake with peanut butter mouse and chocolate ganache filling. Never have I ever had something so rich, moist, and somehow light at the same time. For our frosting, I strongly dislike any traditional frostings. Janice suggested a whipped cream frosting thankfully. She provided us with a traditional looking 4 tier wedding cake with flowers (made by her out of merengue) cascading down the side. It was gorgeous! My sister who is a chef was impressed with the presentation, knowing that it was a whipped cream frosting which can be harder to work with. And believe me, this was the best cake I have ever had. 6 days later and it has retained all its flavor and moisture. I don’t seen how we will be able to make it to our first wedding anniversary with that in the freezer. I can’t stop thinking about how good the cake is. You will not be disappointed if you get your cake here!“

“An AMAZING breakfast find in the Bar Harbor area! The food was so delicious that I was/will be a regular whenever I'm in Bar Harbor. The food tastes homemade and super fresh. The biscuit was moist and delicious and the homemade strawberry butter was insanely delicious! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!“

“Great experience, service, and food every visit!“

“Such wonderful ambiance! The view was spectacular but so was our server Genevieve! The food was superb too! Lemoncello-tini, garlic knots, shrimp & lobster scampi, and hot honey pizza! Topped off with the blueberry pie. 🤌🏼
Must go. Don't pass this up!“

“Me, my fiancé and two friends went to Side Street last week for lunch before our elopement up in Acadia, and we had a fantastic experience! We brought one of our dogs and it was no problem at all to eat out on the deck! Everyone was so nice and welcoming, and the food and drinks were incredible! My fiancé came here before and recommended it, and this place did not disappoint! We also had trouble finding a place for a reception so we resorted to looking into local restaurants to cater, and when we reached out, Tiffany was very kind and responsive to redirect me to Jon Dumaine, who is Side Street’s Culinary Director. Jon was AWESOME and you can tell how good he is at his job when he lays everything out to you! From the first email, to our phone call, and picking it up, we had a phenomenal experience, and highly recommend Side Street Cafe’s catering to everyone! Everyone absolutely loved the food, especially the chicken picatta, mac and cheese, polenta and Mediterranean dips!! We cannot wait to come back again and visit!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Maine Must-Try! The lobster roll was perfection — sweet, tender chunks of fresh-caught lobster piled high on a buttery, lightly toasted bun. The seasoning was simple and spot-on, letting the natural flavor of the lobster shine through, while just enough creamy dressing tied it all together without overpowering. The lobster nachos were an unexpected delight — warm, crisp tortilla chips loaded with generous pieces of lobster, melted cheese, and a drizzle of tangy sauce that balanced richness with a hint of brightness. Every bite had that perfect mix of crunch, creaminess, and fresh-from-the-sea flavor. Whether you’re a Maine local or just visiting, these dishes are the kind of food memories you’ll be talking about long after you’ve left.“
