Hitty's Cafe

My wife and I have been vacationing all over Maine. We've had lobster at various places on our trip, but this one had the tastiest lobster 🦞. We both ordered the off menu lobster buns, recommended by the sweet lady that served us. They were simple ingredients, ultra fresh, lobster meat was tender, sweet, fresh, and standout. Delicious 😋. Totally worth the ferry trip, just to get this sandwich 🥪.

No clue when they are open since the sign said 11-3 and they were closed. Would highly recommend posting hours and sticking to them.

Outdoor café on Great Cranberry Island. Good solid lunch. Very limited hours, so plan your visit accordingly. Attached to the local museum which was delightful to visit!

Visited Cranberry Island for the morning - Hitty’s may be your only food option besides the general store. Solid sandwiches. Owner was at first slightly condescending but warmed up as we spent money. Not sure if they get sick of the tourists?

Only place on Cranberry Island. Tiny glass of ice tea and cookie almost $7. Friendly service definitely not included. Owner was apparently having a bad day.

We were there at the end of the season. The food was wonderful, and the outdoor patio was amazing. The guy was a little gruff, but it was the end of the season, so he might have been a bit over the tourists, which I can understand. Overall, it was fantastic.

I called ahead and the recording said they were open until 4pm. Very disappointed to hike the "1/4 mile" according to said recording just to discover they closed at 2pm.

What's the point of even using a recording if you aren't going to update it or even make sure it is accurate.

Up to whether to take a chance on them being open.

Great people that we enjoy seeing each time we ferry out to Cranberry (they're only open seasonally so, plan accordingly). The island is a must-see if you're checking out the Acadia area and Hitty's is where you should plan to have lunch! Take the ferry out of Isleford (check schedules as this is a seasonal ferry) and enjoy a day or half-day exploring Cranberry. Oh yeah, while at Hitty's try the Reuben w/ a Moxie soft drink. :)

The Cafe is a nice place on the island, we ate in as we were just visiting the island for the day. Not a large selection but we were there in the off season, but what we did get was tasty. They had a fun Lego table that my son spent hours at.

We visited Hitty's Cafe in July 2022. The person who took our order (it seemed like he was the owner) was very rude. Even though we were the only ones there, he was rushing us to order since he was expecting about 120-180 customers that day. When we had questions about the menu, he would have rude remarks that made us feel stupid. I guess since we weren't considered a part of the "mad rush of customers", we weren't important to him. The food was over priced for the amount served and the taste was ok. On a side note, he was friendlier (or just relieved) after he took a quick trip on the golf cart to retrieve what seemed like food supplies for the mad rush.

The only place to eat on Great Cranberry besides the general store. Pricey, but to be expected being on an island. Enjoyed the mozzarella and tomato panini ($14) and the BLT ($12). Outdoor seating only at picnic tables or tables with umbrellas.

Fine milkshake.
