"What a little find! We caught them on community night where everyone sat together who didn’t know each other. They made us a vegan Buddha bowl. It felt like having homemade food. Very friendly and personal service. Glad we caught them open at this time of night at just the right time when we were passing through."

"I loved this place. Very chill, lot of community zen there. We had the sweet & spicy bowl and the earthy bowl for lunch -sooooooo yummy. Jesse is very nice and the man at the counter is the yoga instructor. It sounds as if they are very focused on people. I will be back to try something else on the menu."

"Have you been to the Steamy Buddha Cafe? Excellent! Extremely accommodating to dietary restrictions. Amazing flavors! Best chai I’ve ever had. A must if you’re in the Ellsworth area and worth traveling to. Small cafe. Great service! (There is yoga too!)"

"Amazing vibes. Great food. Wonderful sandwich- sourdough bread was delicious. Buddha bowl was delicious. Don’t skip the chia tea. It was life changing."

"Spicy Buddha bowl was a white rice disappointment: no quinoa like stated on the menu. It took so long to get our food (even with no one in the restaurant on a Saturday afternoon) that I thought sure they must be cooking the quinoa and rice fresh, but then when we received the food it seemed like just reheated white rice. The flavor was just okay and it made both myself and my husband very sick (severe nausea and diarrhea). Maybe there was an undeclared allergen like butter or wheat in the Buddha bowl? Otherwise I must assume you sold me some not very healthy reheated white rice that made me ill. The menu could be better labeled with allergens. I looked up when the last health inspection was and you all haven't been inspected since 2023 and it shows: "As of the health inspection conducted on June 26, 2023, Conscious Cafe in Ellsworth, Maine, received several violations. Violations noted 2-402.11: Food employees were not wearing effective hair restraints. 6-201.17: Walls and ceiling attachments were not easily cleanable. 6-501.12: The physical facilities were not clean." The atmosphere was probably the best part of the experience until the lawn care guy started playing around with a leaf blower (which is pointless considering the leaves aren't even down yet)...the gas fumes didn't compliment the meal and maybe lawn care could be scheduled on another day besides Saturday afternoon."
