Came to try this restaurant because it was all over tiktok in Maine recommendations but I think it is a little overrated. They had a couple things out of stock like the breakfast sandwich and the cheddar biscuit, we were there at 10 am so if you plan to come here come early. The loaded biscuit was more like a loaded butter biscuit. Unhealthy amounts of butter imo. The quiche was good. They don’t have almond milk, only oatmilk for coffee.

The ginger molasses cookie I had was delicious, although my partner thought it was a bit too sweet because of the white chocolate. For me, it was perfectly chewy and crisp.

The coffee made me a bit disappointed though. My cappuccino had a great foam but the coffee tasted a bit burnt, probably roasted a bit too long. My partner got the malted ice coffee—watery so I really wouldn't recommend.

Overall, I would probably come back for the pastries and breakfast items, but maybe not the coffee.

Best coffee and pastries we've had on our trip to Maine. Treat yourself to the black sesame seed banana bread deluxe—it is divine.

Everything here is great except the place is always packed and they run out of things quickly. Unfortunately I just don’t come here often at all because it’s easier to go elsewhere and I don’t like waiting in line 20min just to learn they are out of everything I ask for. Great food & service though.. just maybe too popular for its own good?
