Mount Dessert Bakery

I ordered a 6” cake on a short notice (less than a week before pickup). The cake was chocolate with strawberry buttercream (3 layers). The cake was delicious - great texture/flavor and very moist. The icing was also very tasty!
I also didn’t give any direction on how to decorate it. The cake was very simple (which I prefer) but cute - it was perfect.
Overall, I’m extremely happy with the cake and really appreciate their willingness to take the order on a relatively short notice.

Lovely bakery/cafe. Coffee/tea, breakfast sandwiches, bagels, lunch sandwiches & pastries. We were visiting Bar Harbor for vacation and stopped here a couple of times. I enjoyed the citrus green tea and got it every visit! The apple pie slices were also yummy. Cute spot!

Wanted to try this place so bad because the menu looked so interesting but every time we tried to go, they were closed. Plan accordingly since their hours are minimal. The woman taking our order seemed very over her job, she was kind of short with us and blunt. However what lacked in personality, they made up for in taste! I got the mother stuffin turkey sandwich is and was so good! Thin sliced Turkey and wonderful cranberry relish. All so good. The little bags of chips that come with it are a joke though. Come on guys, for a $16.00 sandwich, you should be including a full size bag of chips, not a Halloween goody bag. It literally had 9 chips in it! Also they were out of pie, but we got a mixed berry bar, it was very good too. My kids were able to get string cheese, yogurt pouch, and apple as their lunch, because that’s all they eat anyways, lol. I would come back again for that sandwich if we lived close by, but if they didn’t up the bag of chips game, I would buy a bag separate. Also, the place is super cute and kitschy inside.

Really fantastic little place with a whole case of breakfast pastries, including I think 4 kinds of coffee cake. I got the cinnamon but I wish I had got the blueberry, mine was too huge and kinda dry. We also got a blueberry hand pie and that was delicious. Coffee drinks, hot breakfast sandwiches, non-breakfast pastries, gifts/cards/book/prints are also on sale. The bathrooms are a hoot. Definitely worth a stop and a bit off the main strip.

This place is amazing! I went every morning I was on MDI and even took some for my drive home. The pastries are delicious- try the pumpkin donut and the coffee cake! The veggie bagel sandwich was also GREAT (hello goat cheese!!?). Pro tip- add egg to that sammie!
The workers are super kind, positive, and helpful; and the owner seems really sweet. Plus it's just the cutest shop!!
Definitely get off the main drag and check it out

Such a cute cafe with good food and nice people. We tried the lunch options and sandwiches were really good. The tuna sandwich was phenomenal, it was not your everyday tuna sandwich. The grilled sandwiches were wrapped in aluminum foil in a paper bag, so you can even take it to a hike or any nice outdoor place to enjoy a warm lunch. They have both indoor and outdoor seating.
Also, they have good wifi if you need to do get some work done. Different coffee options are available.
Wish they have more fresh juice options. When we were there only grapefruit juice was available and it was not that good.

Wow! Stopped for a scone and returned later for two more. Perfectly dry and not too sweet and then the sandwiches!! The chicken salad was large enough for two lunches and so delicious — not too dry and not too wet. Definitely worth a detour. Also had a latte and mocha latte. Both were quite good if not the best we’ve ever had.

Wonderful bakery!! We loved our bagel breakfast sandwiches, coffee, chai latte, and alllll of our baked goods. Friendly staff and safety measures in place during covid. Much faster than many of the other breakfast spots in Bar Harbor. We will be back! Such a cute spot!!!

Great quick stop for a breakfast bite. Can get a line however the service is friendly and fast. Limited indoor seating and cozy. Eat in or get takeout, popular with locals. We enjoyed breakfast sandwiches and would come back again.

I come here every year and it’s always such a delicious experience. I love the pumpkin donut muffin the best, though the blueberry scones are a close second. The bagel sandwiches and lattes are also spectacular. Highly recommend you check them out!

Wow this is a must visit! We went 2 days in a row for breakfast and took pastries for later. So many options! I really loved the blueberry coffee cake and triple berry bar. Breakfast bagels were fabulous! May go back again tomorrow for day 3.

Love love love it here! Friendly service and lots of menu options, plus delicious baked goods. Food and drink were both great, will be back!

Everything was so good and the place was super cute, so we went back every day of our Bar Harbor vacation. We especially loved the blueberry cream cheese danish (they make great hiking snacks) and the veggie lover bagel sandwich.

A nice find!! We had the orange ricotta as a post breakfast treat and a coffee. The staff is very friendly and the ricotta was delicious. The atmosphere is nice and casual. There are board games and books to check out so they encourage you to hang out. We'll definitely be back.

Mmmm! Chocolate / Peanut butter heaven is what the cake should be called. I was craving Chocolate cake and luckily grabbed one of the last 2 slices. The Chocolate cake was moist, rich with the perfect crumble, the peanut butter frosting was creamy, rich but not overly peanut buttery, sweet or heavy. The ratio of frosting to cake was perfect, neither flavor overwhelmed the other. It's safe to say I would recommend this cake and the bakery. ** Coming from a critical, cake and pastry lover

Had a wonderful breakfast here on Friday. Great service and great selection. Will definitely be back 👍👍👍👍

Everywhere you go in Maine is blueberry this, blueberry that. All this talk got us thinking about where was the best dessert on the island. Well folks, we did the research so you don't have to. It's here. Stop here. Eat here. Their blueberry pie cobbler was out of this world good. My husband doesn't even like blueberry and he liked it. He had their turtle cheesecake. The cheesecake was creamy and firm, tasty. When we come back to Bar Harborn this will be on our list to come back to.

Robyn created a beautiful birthday cake, in carrot cake, and my girlfriend actually said that it was the most delicious cake she ever had! Thank you so very much, Mount Desert Bakery! ❤

Excellent espresso. Clean machine, clean water, clean ceramic ware. House espresso was not fruity, which is my preference. Also had a sausage, egg, cheese breakfast bagel. Bagel was fresh. Atmosphere was cozy. Not blasting music.

This place was so delish and cute! They let you drink from their mugs if you’re eating there or bring your own or you can take cups to go as well. The apple coffee cake was yummy as well as the breakfast sandwiches!
