Famous For Having The Best Buns In Maine, The Remote Cupboard Cafe Is A Destination All On Its Own

One of the best things about Maine is the many small shops and restaurants that exist in every single town. Full of heart and loved by the community that visits them each day, these places all have something special about them. From the ambiance to the staff to the delicious food created each day, this particular spot in the midcoast is extra-special.

Welcome to the Cupboard Cafe in New Harbor!

This little spot has everything you want in a roadside bakery and cafe, including friendly people, great food, and fantastic Maine vibes.

Most of all, it's got the best sticky buns you'll find in the area!

Referred to simply as "the buns," these little delicacies started as just a menu offering, but it was soon clear that the cinnamon buns and sticky buns were the stars of the show around here!

The cinnamon buns are made with soft sweet dough that have delicious swirls of cinnamon as well as a wonderful white icing. The sticky buns are made with layers of sweet dough topped with caramel and covered with whole pecans.

And they often get some special touches like these cinnamon buns with golden raisins, walnuts, and an orange glaze.

The popularity of these treats means it's common to see a line for ordering. And, there's even a demand for shipping. We love them for special occasions and holidays.

Best of all, when the weather is nice, you can enjoy them outside on the deck.

The buns here could be their own meal, but if you're the type that prefers a more traditional meal they've got plenty to offer on their menu. Including this breakfast quesadilla.

At lunchtime, grab a sandwich with a side of chips.

And if you want to counteract all that sugar, consider ordering one of their salads.

But then, of course, you're going to want to get right back to the buns! They do have the "best buns" after all!

The Cupboard Cafe is open seasonally each spring and summer. For up-to-date information on when they'll be open and their hours, check out their website. You can also follow them on Facebook. They can be reached on 207-677-3911.
