At Friars' Bakehouse in Bangor, you'll be treated to unique service with exceptional food.

The restaurant is managed and the food is cooked by Franciscan friars in their typical long brown robes.

While the rules might seem specific, the environment is truly community-focused.

Patrons sit at communal tables, encouraged to get off their phones and talk to one another.

But, that's admittedly difficult to do while shoving your face full of the best desserts in Bangor.

Or, more notably, the best whoopie pies in all of Maine!

These guys are stuffed to the brim with the perfect recipe for that delicious creamy filling.

And the goodness doesn't end there - grab a Whoopie Pie Porter fresh brewed at the Friars' Brewhouse in Bucksport.

Once your sweet tooth is satisfied enjoy the daily sandwich served on Friars' Bakehouse artisan bread.

The coffee, muffins and sticky buns are also out of this world.

Though, we don't recommend you set your watch by their hours!
