2 Best Restaurants in Wiscasset, The Mid-Coast Region

It may not look like much from the outside, but this unique and community-focused culinary powerhouse has won the devotion of diners far and wide (plus a James Beard Foundation nomination) for its bright-flavored and far-ranging dishes. Located inside a beautifully renovated convenience store, the menu changes almost constantly and reaches across the globe, with a majority of the ingredients emphasizing sustainable farms, local makers, and things the staff has foraged. If you can score a seat for the extremely popular brunch, know that the fresh sourdough donut with vanilla bean glaze is a thing of beauty.

What started as a candy shop more than 30 years ago has grown into a Wiscasset staple featuring baked goods, coffee, wine, craft beer, cheese, and more. All of the "treats"—scones, cookies, croissants, muffins, cakes, sweet buns, babka, coffee cake—are baked right here every day. You can also order sandwiches or wraps and pick up prepared meals to go. There's a good selection of fine condiments for sale, too.
