Coffee shop attached to a wonderful bookstore. This is a must visit if you are in the area. Great selection of coffee, tea, baked goodies, and egg sandwiches. Can be crowded on busy weekends, but they move it along, pretty quickly. Never had trouble finding a place to seat. They also have outside seating!

Ordered a birthday cake with buttercream frosting. Excellent. Worth the special distance I had to travel to get it.

We just stopped in for a coffee and quick snack. Everything was great, and the service was beyond friendly. We really enjoyed this spot

It is wonderful to have this location back as a top level breakfast stop but they are one of the best in the region for things like custom birthday cakes. This is one of their Grand Marnier cakes with custom decoration. The authentic Cordon Rouge liqueur is used to flavour both the cake and the frosting, and peeled segments of fresh Mandarin oranges are baked in the cake. They offered cupcakes made to the recipe (as well as a few other recipes) to help in the decision-making process before placing the order, in addition to helping with the decoration design; highly recommended

What a great find! A group of 7 of us (multigenerational family members) had a wonderful brunch that included breakfast tacos, egg dishes, bacon, muffins and cinnamon rolls. Everyone was very happy. The space itself is a charming and creatively decorated former home on the Main Street with a pretty flower garden out front. The service was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended

On vacation from NJ for a week. Went on Monday to order a Birthday cake for Thursday. Was told they need a week or more because they are so busy... would next Tuesday be OK? ( Website says 72 hrs for cake orders)Business must be good as they are turning away $40 cake orders.

Really nice place! Good place for breakfast. Busy but pretty quick service. It's also attached to a bookstore. The egg and sausage muffin was unusual. The sausage was mixed into the egg.

Came here on a Tuesday morning at 8:30. The line was not out the door, but there was a long line meaning they must be good. They had a few things they were out of but they had an egg and cheese you could get an a biscuit or English muffin, as well as a sausage sandwich. They also had a pastry case with scones, Maine blueberry muffins, and some cinnamon rolls. We got a cinnamon roll, and a blueberry muffin. Both were fresh and tasty.The egg sandwiches were all good. They came on a toasted, English muffin, and in the sausage and egg biscuit. The sausage and eggs were pre-mixed together. It is attached to a bookstore. Very cute little shop. There were a few places to sit inside, as well as a table and some chairs outside. Overall a nice little place to stop. The menu was a little limited for breakfast but I'm sure you can find something you'll like.

A very fine breakfast experience. We stopped in here based on the good Yelp reviews and I'm glad we did. The entrance was a little hard to find because the main part of the building is a bookstore and door to the bakery is tucked away on the right side. When we arrived, there was a significant line, but they managed it really well. There is a diversity of breakfast choices, including hot breakfast sandwiches; however, sweet bakery is their strong point. We tried the brioche cinnamon rolls, and the blueberry muffins. The blueberry muffins were especially good, they had numerous flavorful blueberries in them... Our breakfast sandwiches were OK. They made scrambled eggs and put a little pieces of sausage in it rather than a fried egg and a sausage patty. On the positive side, the English muffin part was delicious and locally made. The people operating the business were super nice --friendly and positive. It was the type of place do you want to give your business to.
Love this place. The food is delicious and the staff is uplifting. Ran into a little snafu with Call in order. No worries, they poured me a cup of coffee and a beautiful Sentiment On this mug. I get to carry that sentiment with me all day." contentment is not that fulfillment of what you want, but the realization of how much you have."

We were visiting Damariscotta for several days in late October and found the espresso drinks and excellent baked goods at this cafe. Very friendly spot, people come in to catch up on the local news. My husband was partial to the croissants here, I fell in love with the cinnamon buns, and they also have sandwiches that sound good but we didn't have a chance to try them. There is limited seating - you can't count on getting a table, but we usually were lucky. The bookstore there is also particularly nice.

Best croissants ever! A must-stop for them. Good selection of other bakery items and coffee options. Unfriendly lady took our order.

Stopped in for a treat on our way to Portland after a week in mid coast area. I selected the pecan scone with a delicious maple frosting, not too thick, and a hot chai tea-also tasty and xtra hot (appreciated). Others in our party ordered the quiche (5), blueberry muffin (4), apple crumb muffin (5), and both hot and cold drinks. Quaint bakery with decent seating, connected to a well stocked book store. Small coastal town where keeping staff is likely challenging. Service behind counter great and appears they may have rotating options on some bakery items. Glad we stopped as it is in the heart of their Main Street with quality shops for browsing, a few touristy, but also sone local, unusual finds.
