Excellent Cafe with many "to-go" items for a picnic or a quick breakfast. Everything you would expect from a good CoOp. Very small and parking can be a challenge. New building and location coming soon! We can't wait.

Really don't want to mention this place because it is a treasured local spot. Pizza, even if you don't like pizza -like me, you will want to eat theirs. Find them on Facebook for what is being served and when. VERY casual, like walking into someone's home.

Amazing wines, cheese, pate, olive oil, teas, coffee & tobacco.
Knowledgeable staff. Very busy during the summer months so remember that in 8 weeks they probably do 80% of their business. Local Favorite!

Quick fried food and Gifford's Ice Cream. Not a fan of fried food, but if you must, try the Fried Fish, it is haddock and very fresh. You can also have them cook lobsters to bring home.

Consistently good. Farm-to-table is in full effect in the heart of Blue Hill. In the kitchen you’ll see the pans of roast duck and a massive hen of the woods mushroom ready to be prepped for the night’s risotto. The setting is a sunny, window-lined kitchen with easy access to the herb garden and the solar-powered craft brewery, DeepWater Brewing Company, out back.
