Village Green Cafe

$20 for this sad looking toast the size of my palm and a very watery coffee is disappointing to say the least. Staff was nice at least. Extra clarification: palm sized avocado toast was $11. The watery cold brew was $8 - $9. $20+ total with tip.

This was the “matcha latte” we ordered. It had next to no matcha taste, and the milk was steamed for an iced drink so it was lukewarm when served. The other latte we got just tasted like flavored milk with sugar free sweetener when I asked for regular. Unfortunately all 3 drinks were un-drinkable; so a latte that cost $9 was thrown away.

We really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately our experience was disappointing. The lobster roll was made with leftovers from lobster claws/paws — no tail meat at all — and one roll wasn’t nearly enough to feel like a meal. We came in hungry and left hungry. I also ordered a latte and wasn’t asked about sugar, but it came sweetened, which made it undrinkable — six dollars wasted. The menu itself felt very limited, and the overall cleanliness was lacking. There were flies buzzing around while we tried to eat, and the table by the window with barstools was covered in crumbs, dust, and sticky residue. It looked like it hadn’t been wiped in a long time, so we ended up cleaning it ourselves. Sadly, between the food quality, poor menu, and cleanliness issues, we can’t recommend this cafe.

This cute coffee shop has the best chai in Bar Harbor. We needed a hot drink after 5 hours whale watching (no whales btw):, so we were looking for something to lift our moods. This charming cafe was exactly what we were looking for. They are open late which was nice to see, and their drinks were really good!

Do not get the lobster here, it is just not the same and is not what the true “Maine” experience will be. The lobster is more chopped up and there are bits of shell still in there. The staff and vibe are super nice on the other hand so maybe I would try something else next time and sit down for a coffee. I got the lobster roll and the lobster salad in a croissant bread. Yeah the croissant bread is not a croissant at all. You can see from the pics…
