A Taste of Ellsworth


One of the most appealing things about Ellsworth Maine (other than it's proximity to Bar Harbor, Acadia and the Ocean) is it's vibrant Town Center.  Shops, Cafes, Bookstores, Restaurants, and Pubs fill either side of Main Street. And, Parks, Schools, Churches, Libraries and Community Centers run up and down the intersecting State Street. In the two weeks since I've arrived, I've had the great pleasure of visiting many of these establishments and landmarks.

Below, are a few pictures that will hopefully give you a taste of  downtown Ellsworth. Flexit Cafe, is a great place for that first cup of coffee. Mainely Meat on Maine is a tasty BBQ lunch spot. You could do worse than dinner and a drink at Finn's Irish Pub. If a show is what you want, then The Grand is what you need. And for that post-performance treat, Morton's Moo ice cream parlor will definitely satisfy that sweet tooth!

So, the next time you're "passing through" Ellsworth on your way to (or from) Acadia, do yourself a flavor and stop by this great Downeast Downtown. Your tummy and taste buds will certainly be glad you did!
