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.

What to expect

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

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!

Cute little cafe with seating inside. We came here for breakfast before heading out to Acadia Park. They had a wide selection of pastries for breakfast and of a reasonable portion. All of it was tasty. The coffee was pre brewed and you have to get it yourself. The latte was…
