Tinder Hearth is a hidden treasure. 2022 UPDATE: Less hidden, but still a treasure. 2025 UPDATE: Still fantastic. Now expensive.

Tinder Hearth is fantastic, their pizza, pastries, atmosphere - all are superb. Why only 2 stars then? Well the reservation scheme is impossible to get in. I set my alarm for 8:30 am Monday so we could be the first to make reservations for the week - but every single slot I chose had magically “already been selected” by another party. After 15 mins of trying to reserve, all tables, for all nights of the week were sold out. Unfortunately, not knowing the “trick” to actually be able to get a reservation, we won’t be back. Try Strong Brewing Co instead and save yourself the anxiety of trying to beat the clock to get a reservation for pizza night.

This most unique location serves up the best pizza I've had in any of my travels. Its in a beautiful setting with outdoor and indoor seating (in the barn), fire pit, gardens, ice cream hut, outdoor bar and oysters brought by local oyster companies. Reservations are made online for the week starting at 9am on Monday. People are serious.about making reservations here so make them Monday morning!

Some of the tastiest baked goods Downeast in rustic cozy barn. Walk and enjoy your beverages and treats in a garden setting. What a wonderful way to start the day!

Eat here if you want to be made to feel that you're lucky to be able to pay and eat here...but they could care less if you did. That's not overstating the arrogance of host and staff. They were rude, dismissive, and unnecessarily confrontational.

Pricey but delicious and rustically unique. Recommended!

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem. Wildly popular with locals, but you wouldn’t know it’s here unless you looked. Reservations are an absolute must and need to be made in advance. Coming from NJ and NY I have very strong opinions on pizza. This place tops the charts. Crust is light, crisp, and keeps you wanting more. They always have unique flavor options. Don’t leave without getting their salads or cookies either. I’ll continue coming back each year. Well worth my hard earned money.
This place has world class unique pizzas in a beautiful garden.

Beeeautiful bakery & pizzaria with an amazing garden/picnic area! My boyfriend & I came here for breakfast and coffee while visiting Maine. The breakfast sandwich and almond croissant were super delicious! Especially the almond croissant, wow, the best croissant I've ever had (and I've lived in Europe for some years where they come from). The garden area is full of different flowers, veggies, picnic tables, great place to chill & get some inspiration on gardening ideas :) seems kid/pet friendly too. Loved it ??✨️?
Parking: Plenty of parking on the gravel parking lot
Kid-friendliness: Areas to run around, saw some toys for kids in the picnic area
Tinder Hearth hosted our local Cape Rosier, new firehouse, fundraising event. Absolutely wonderful. . . Food, service, great atmosphere in renovated barn and grounds. Would give 6 stars if we could. Thanks TH!!
I was a little skeptical that they would live up to the hype and be worth the drive, but this place absolutely exceeded my expectations. Didn’t make it for pizza, as the reservations were full, but can understand why. The morning bun (they call it a cinnamon bun) was probably the best I’ve ever had, Tartine’s included. Bread was great as well and the egg sandwich was one of those sneaky good things that grows on you with every bite. The gardens are amazing as well, very inspiring if you’re into vegetable gardening.

Spectacular pizza, drinks, service and location. Go out of your way to get here, you won’t be sorry. I was there for a private party and everything was great.
