Crema's Take

Nestled in Bar Harbor, this beloved breakfast and brunch spot has earned its stellar reputation through genuinely exceptional food and the kind of warm hospitality that keeps visitors returning day after day. The fluffy Maine blueberry pancakes and creative shakshuka are standouts, but what really sets it apart is the cheerful, unhurried atmosphere where staff like Tyler and Brenna make you feel like locals, complete with generous pours of real maple syrup that put chain restaurants to shame. It's the rare cafe that manages to feel both cozy and lively at once, making it a must-visit anchor for anyone exploring Acadia.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
