What People Are Saying
from Google"Went to this little quaint shop on a whim during a roadtrip, and turned out to be a very memorable stop on my entire trip in Maine. My cappuccino was tasty & smooth. I was greeted at the door by Oscar, the sweet lab. Owner/barista was friendly. I'm sad this can't be my daily coffee stop."
"This is such a nice place to stop if you're in northeast harbor! They have a great iced mocha, the staff is super friendly, and last time I was in I got to see Oscar! The sweet, lovable chocolate lab! Definitely turned a rough morning into a great day. I highly recommend"
"Very charming, old school variety store with gifts, candy, and home made gelato. The flavors are changing and delicious. It's a sweet treat that's hard to beat!"
"Cute little store! Would have loved some gelato if it wasn't out of season. Coffee was good. I appreciated that stationery paper was available for purchase, even though I didn't need any."
"The store was fun! The staff friendly and prompt. But I ordered a vanilla latte and it just tasted bad."
