A local eatery with comfort food, though the Crab & Cheddar quiche was a welcome surprise. My group also liked the Blueberry stuffed French toast and the Sausage Gravy w/Biscuits. Try the Sriracha syrup for an extra wake-up!
November 2025
Delicious gem in Ellsworth. We discovered this during our trip to Bar Harbor. It is located on a cute street with vintage shops that we were visiting. The cafe has a super cozy diner-like vibe. The service was great.
We had a turkey sandwich and a fried haddock sandwich. The fries were the best we had during our trip. Their fresh lemonade and OJ was also the best we had. The prices were far better than Bar Harbor and only a short half hour drive away. Definitely recommend...
October 2025
The service was friendly and quick and you get a lot of food for a great price. However the food left much to be desired. We ordered the egg plates; the potato hash was basic and the scrambled eggs overcooked.
