Mount Dessert Bakery
122 Cottage St, Bar Harbor, ME
Crema's Take
“Mount Dessert Bakery is a beloved Bar Harbor institution where butter-crust pies (especially their strawberry rhubarb) and distinctive coffee drinks like lavender lattes and dirty chais keep locals and visitors coming back. Beyond the impressive pastry case, you'll find a welcoming spot with real seating for lingering over breakfast sandwiches and herby turkey bagels, making it equally suited for a quick grab or a leisurely meeting within walking distance of the bay. While consistency can be hit-or-miss, the best days here—when the blueberry coffee cake and pies shine—feel genuinely special and worth the visit.”

I highly recommend going somewhere else. Nothing special about the menu. I waited over 20 minutes for a breakfast sandwich, and found 4 strands of hair. It was take out so I didn't think it was worth going back to wait another 20 minutes for another sandwich, south possibly more hair. There was what seemed like avocado in my bacon, egg and cheese so those with dietary restrictions, probably not a safe option here. The apple coffee cake was okay, not bad but not anything to go out of your way for either.
Best iced lavendar latte, cortado, and dirty chai in town. Herby Turkey bagel is very flavorful and the blueberry coffee cake is a hit. Great lunch or brunch spot waking distance from the bay
Exceptional, strawberry rhubarb, and excellent meanwhile blueberry pies. The crust was terrific. No lard, just butter. The owner doesn’t read her reviews because she says she knows she Always Gets 5 stars!
One of my favorite stops in Bar Harbor! They have so many baked goods, as well as a ton of coffee, sandwiches, etc. The service was great and I loved that there was seating. We tried two of their breakfast sandwiches, and while expensive, they were delicious. The raspberry scone was also delicious and one of the few Ive had that wasn’t dry. I was disappointed that I wasn’t able to stop a second time!
Such an amazing place! Great food, coffee and pastries! My Husband and I went almost everyday we were here! We even got a cake from them for our wedding in Acadia! It was perfect! We came to Acadia National Park to get married and the Thursday before our wedding (a Saturday) we were going around to local bakeries to try some desserts to try and pick one for our after wedding dinner with our family. We went to Mount Dessert Bakery for the first time after a waiter at another restaurant said they had a great bakery. We tried a cake they had on display, a chocolate coconut with cream cheese frosting, and it was amazing! So we talked to them about getting a whole cake for our wedding. They were so nice, gave us a sheet with all the flavors and combinations available. We got a lemon blueberry cake with cream cheese frosting. They were amazing and able to get us our cake in time and it was delicious, Absolutely beautiful and everything we could have ever wanted! Such an amazing and wonderful place!
