Little Notch Bakery and Café
340 Main St, Bar Harbor, ME
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Bar Harbor's bakery scene, this spot has earned serious devotion for its blueberry pie—reviewers keep coming back specifically for it, and it shows. Beyond the standout berries, you'll find quality scones and chocolate chip shortbread alongside respectable pizza, all best enjoyed at their inviting outdoor seating where you can linger with coffee or grab something quick before heading into Acadia.”

Clutch pizza spot. Not the best pizza ever but pretty good for acadia. Their blueberry pies are the best in class though. We ate it at the nearby butterfly park and it was amazing experience.
The Little Notch Bakery and Café, in the quaint little town of Southwest Harbor, Maine, was a delightful morning stop. During our first visit of our Acadia National Park vacation we purchased scones, muffins, and little fruit tarts. Our first visit purchases were so fresh and tasty we went back and purchased two-large blueberry tarts, a large apple tart, and a large raspberry tart. My favorite bakery item was the large raspberry tart, quickly followed by a large blueberry tart. We had a lovely conversation with the shop keepers and were told they only use Maine blueberries. We enjoyed our visits! ❤️
After bussing it up in Bar Harbor I decided to go to this quaint little bakery. The employees were very nice with the atmosphere being inviting. The bakery treats were not to my liking and a bit overpriced but I mainly came for the pizza. I smelled it from down the street and I reminded me of my Nona’s kitchen talents. However despite the pizza’s delicious smell and good crust, it was not good at all. Too flacid, unflavorful, and seemingly undercooked I would not recommend.
We stopped here for a sweet treat after a long day at Acadia. Oh my goodness, the blueberry tart was so delicious! There was some wonderful outdoor seating where we were able to enjoy our dessert. They had many other delicious looking sweets/baked goods we were tempted to try. I’d highly recommend this spot! Update: we came back a few days later for the pizza. So yummy!!!
We visited Little Notch Bakery three times during the four times we were in Southwest Harbor. We loved the chocolate chip shortbread, blueberry pie, and raspberry pie. The blueberry was more sweet than the raspberry, both are filled with fruit!They have some fun grocery items and pizzas was well. Everyone working was so kind and helpful - especially Sam!! Thank you Little Notch!! Edit: We went back one more time for sandwiches before heading to the airport. So good!!
