After being closed all summer, we are back in business. This morning started off with an elopement picnic for 10 at sunrise. Nothing beats the view (or getting to eat banana bread while watching 🤭).

At Maine’s Bar Harbor Lobster Pound, you can feast on lobster rolls, lobster tacos, shrimp rolls, fish tacos, and haddock burgers—all made with seafood freshly caught by local fishermen. Right next door, the beloved “Ice Cream Boat” serves up sweet treats like blueberry pie and sea salt caramel ice cream. Between the two, a cluster of picnic tables sits shaded beneath the trees, with string lights overhead that add a warm, cozy vibe. Whether you're craving something savory or sweet, this laid-back spot delivers one of the most charming and delicious seafood experiences in the state.

Thanks to everyone who came to the movies this weekend! If you didn't make it or were turned away because we were filled to capacity, you have another chance this weekend! And thank you to the Town of Bucksport, specifically Rich Rotella, for offering the chance for students to see, "Lost on a Mountain in Maine." The first group taking advantage of this special opportunity were here bright and early and very excited!

Happy November my lovely pie people!

After a moment to gauge my stamina after such lovely summer we decided we would be offering Thanksgiving Pies this year! I created a preorder option on our website for easy selection and purchase options.
This is just a sample photo, check out the website for all the options! ❤️

All pick ups will be at the new H & H Mercantile location in the gorgeous new space in downtown Searsport. starting on the 15th and through the holidays.

The ordering is simple and there is a space to write in special requests for gluten free and vegan options. You can even schedule the pick up date. We will be experimenting with the process but if you have any issues please message us anytime.

During the preorder process, the store demanded I offer shipping but pick-up and possibly delivery for a fee, is the preferred option. If you are craving another type of pie, also feel free to reach out!

In addition to the pre-order option we will also be offering seasonally flavored treats, tarts, sides and soups available in our display fridge that will live right next to the checkout area in Patrick Hutchings new space. This will be a fun place for me to stretch some creative muscles and provide fancier options that I cannot during regular food truck service.
