Winter Harbor Provisions

Friendly town grocer under new management with a strong inventory, fresh meat/seafood section and surprisingly good take out meals that range from quality burgers to legitimate international specials. Definitely grateful to have this store in town!

Cashier was very lovely, first time in winter harbor and she gave us plenty of ideas and places to see or do!! Wide selection of snacks, alcohol, meat, frozen and fruits and veggies!!

This place is under new owners and managers and has been turned around. A great one stop shop for most essentials, and then some AND they now carry what is perhaps the best bread in the area (in my opinion, by a LONG SHOT!) made by The SCHOODIC BAKING COMPANY. It’s worth every penny, so so unbelievably good it will make you wanna slap yo mama and get up and dance. Like Tartine level Parisian bakery level next excellent croissants.

Lest this become a review solely about bread, I will forever call the IGA the IGA and I hope they keep the old vintage “winter harbor food service” signage for the retro IGA, (is it even still there? Shows how aware of my surroundings I am… not!) although it is now technically called Winter Harbor Provisions, that’s a bit too rich for my blood but I totally get why they’d want to change the name and affiliation.

Bonus pic of the old, old IGA before my time in town but still cool nonetheless. Onwards and upwards to its new chapter serving the community. Nice to see good folks come give it a little love!

The women here sold my cousin a dozen lobsters. So the 3 boys (ages 8-15) and I were playing a game* to occupy ourselves while driving back home (hers)...

*spotting something along the way going through the alphabet. We were on "Q" when we got to the store. Well our competition was close (and fun!), but Q is a tough letter. As we entered the store, we looked for something beginning with Q...
The little boy made mention to one of the ladies... and lo and behold! she came up with a quarter, (and q- tip)... we were all searching for a quarter. She found it, the youngest claimed it AND she let him keep the quarter!! And yes, the rest of us were sore losers, but we continued the game... they were super and made the game more fun by "playing" with us... who does that these days? I mean, could anyone go into a store and get that kind of friendly, over the top service???
Love you gals!! And thanks! The lobsters were delicious, of course!

Great store. Delicious sandwiches

Great local market owned & operated by locals and fresh lobsters daily.

Nice selection for a small town. Friendly and helpful staff.

A great local store for out of towners to get the basics! We were camping in Schoodic Woods, and came here a few times to get supplies.

Absolutely wonderful they had such a great assortment of groceries and the people that work there are wonderful. They crowned us up some ground beef with bacon in it as we waited. Great place will be back

Small and local. Good people. Great butcher shop (small but quality).
If you need it the likely have it.

Surprisingly good selection for a small store!

Nice full service grocery for everything you need during your stay in Winter Harbor, including a very respectable collection of wine to go with your lobster dinner.

Great service and selection.

A little bit of everything can be found here. Life saver and bears the neck out of driving to the "big" town of Ellsworth!

Don't let the description and lack of website fool you. This is a legitimate IGA grocery store 5 minutes from the entrance to the Schoodic Woods Campground

One of those small supermarkets that has what you need when they need it. Don't expect to find everything you may want if you're hosting a dinner party but for the basics, they are they

Surprise, great lunch place.i didn't have lobster, but sure looks great here

Wonderful food, great people and best blueberry pie ever!

Nice little store and carry must everything you might need.

A small grocery with a surprising large variety of food items and a friendly helpful staff.
