“Good food, great steamers. But the bees wow. I literally bought a soda just to try to deter the lovely 5 we had away from our table. Didn’t really work, so we ate in the car. Idk what they can do about that situation, but yeah. Can’t really enjoy it and I wanted to”

“The Best coffee in Boothbay. A consistant great cup of coffee every time.”

“Good food. I recommend stopping in at about 10:50 and waiting to avoid the line. At about 11:00 it got really busy and we would have spent a lot of time waiting in line. There is a variety of options and choices.”

“This is a bit of a departure from my formal, thorough restaurant reviews but I simply have to shout out the fine folks of Bakers Way. Their breakfast sandwiches are up there with the best I’ve ever had, and the bakery selection is second to none. Let me preface this anecdote with the fact that my wife despises donuts as a concept. I order a cheeky vanilla sprinkled donut, and grab it from the lovely woman working the counter. I hand it to my wife to hold while I go to pay (and they say chivalry is dead). I turn around and what do I see? 3/4 of the donut missing and her with sprinkles on her face going “you may want to get another donut”. Amazing spot for coffee, craic, sandwiches, and donuts.”

“Awesome food, big portions!!!!”

“fantastic place! the beer and service is very outstanding! Mya was our server! she's very professional, friendly and was helpful in helping us decide what we should try! thanks so much! I highly recommend to stop and try this business out! beautifully decorated as well!”

“This place is a dream. The scones are perfectly buttery, with just the right amount of sweet. Their iced lattes are the very best. The lavender cookies, cinnamon rolls, warm egg croissant sandwiches and the list goes on and on because I think we’ve tried everything at this point.

You can taste that everything is made from scratch with love.

There is something so authentically homemade about this special spot. It feels like a cozy kitchen where everything is baked fresh each morning. It’s our go-to first stop!

If you haven’t been yet, go. You’ll want to come back every day of your trip.”

“Two starving girls from SC, on a lighthouse tour of Maine…stumbled across this gem! We’ve been all over Italy and this pizza was top notch!! Fabulous crust & sauce! And the owner was just delightful! Highly recommend this place!”

“We had a lovely stay at the Smuggler’s Cove Inn. The property is stunning with a beautiful view of Linekin Bay from seemingly every room. Our children loved using the pool, kayaks, paddle boards, and fishing from the dock. Our room was updated and comfortable. Breakfast was complimentary each morning and the spread was delicious…a nicely upgraded version of chain hotel continental breakfast. The family who owns the resort were very accommodating and we had the sense that they truly wanted their guests to feel comfortable and to have a great experience. Highly recommend!”
