My family of 6 all agreed this place was the best coffee and snack stop of our entire trip - amazing food, coffee and cookies!
Sweet (dog-friendly) local spot for delicious breakfast sandwiches, coffee/tea, and friendly service!

Everything was really good here! I got the “chickadee” flavored coffee and got the BLT breakfast sandwich on a bagel. They were nice enough to cut it in half when I asked. The sandwich surprised me with how good it was, the egg was perfectly cooked over easy. The young lady at the counter was nice and answered questions with a friendly demeanor. Next time I’m in the area I will be going back!
Love there scones and they have the best coffee drinks in down east Maine!!

Downeaster was exactly what we needed before our day of biking in Acadia. We got an Americano, latte, and breakfast sandwich bagel with egg sausage and cheese. Very good!
The inside had little curios for sale and bonus - they were pet friendly! We saw many cute dogs and accessories for dogs. They had local art, trinkets, cups, and more for sale. Service was good, they were working hard to crank out orders. The seating was limited, we snagged a table outside, but there are very few. It’s in a very cute location on the main road - highly recommended!

Yummy coffee and baked items with a cute shop while you wait.

Very disappointed in this place.
I walked in at 12:35 P.M. with my family after a long day of hiking. We were hoping to support a small business and grab some lunch with the kids. Right away, there was no greeting or warm welcome, which already set a negative tone.
Online, it looked like they offered breakfast sandwiches and bagels (though the lack of a visible menu should’ve been my first warning).
The place itself looked very cute when we walked in, and we were checking out the options, trying to decide what to order.
Just as we were about to place our order, the person at the counter, who wasn’t particularly friendly, told us they don’t serve food past 12:30. It was literally 12:35, and the place was completely empty. I’m not sure why a five-minute exception couldn’t be made, especially when no one else was even there.
There was no sign posted anywhere saying food stops at 12:30, and the café itself doesn’t close until 2:00 P.M., so I genuinely don’t understand why they wouldn’t serve us. It felt unwelcoming and rigid for no good reason.
So, I took my $75 lunch order down the street to another spot that was happy to have our business. I hope this place is able to improve their service and communication, but unfortunately, I won’t be recommend.

I love their coffee and pastries!
My sister and I discovered this place online and we were pleasantly surprised! My sister said her matcha latte was the best she’s ever had and the frozen hot chocolate was 10/10! Would 100% recommend this place to anyone! Plus it’s very cute inside!

I ordered a large, black, dark roast. I was told it would be a minute. No problem, was a little busy (5 people in there) so that's cool. While I was waiting, people left with their orders. Some people arrived after me and ordered sandwiches and drinks. They got their orders. I'm 20 minutes in and still waiting for my coffee. I finally got somebody's attention and they asked if I needed anything . . . I told her that I bought a coffee a while ago and was still waiting. All this time I thought maybe this place was fancy or something and was grinding and brewing coffee to ordered. I even got myself psyched up for possibly the best dang dark roadt coffee I'll ever have! NOPE. Turns out that all the 5 star reviews don't leave you immune to brief periods of ineptitude. They straight dropped the ball and never made it. Also, it ended up being very mediocre coffee out of an urn, certainly nothing special. I guess if you go here, just manage your expectations. The scones looked dank though.
