The Humble Little Restaurant Mainers Are Quietly Obsessed With

It’s not hard to find a place to eat in Maine. Depending on where you are, there are lots of different options. Near the beach you might find the best seafood, while up in the mountains you might dig into a cozy steak meal. Another thing we love about the Vacationland is that you don’t need to be in one of the larger towns or cities to enjoy the best food the state has to offer. In fact, this little spot is beloved amongst locals. But, if you drive by without paying attention you might not even notice it!

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/

With a name like the Stow Corner Store, you might think this is a place to pick up forgotten essentials between grocery story trips. But the reality is that inside lies a warm, welcoming and wonderful cafe and bakery that locals absolutely love.

You'll find it in Stow, Maine in Oxford County. The location makes it a no-brainer for those on sleds who need to stop in to fuel up.

And, in the summer, it's a go-to place for ice cream flavors.

While they're well-equipped for whatever Mother Nature might throw at us, we're lucky that this place is open all year round. So, what can you expect to order? Just about anything and everything!

We think it would be reasonable to eat our way through this entire menu!

We also love that you can pick up breakfast here. They make a giant egg sandwich that comes with eggs, a meat and two slices of cheese all on a Thomas's English muffin

When you're done with your meal, try to grab dessert in the form of these perfect cider donuts.

They also make a huge variety of baked goods, ranging from cookies to tarts to cookies.

There might just be something for everyone at this humble, little shop and we intend to find out!

Stow Corner Store is locaetd at 590 Stow Rd., Stow, Maine. They can be reached on 207-697-2255. They’re open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m every single day of the week! For more information, visit their website.
