Breakfast ~ Lunch ~ Dinner

The early sunrise warmly welcomed you to Mount Desert Island. As a result, you’re ready to hike on the trail, hit the beach, or catch a ferry or a cruise! But before you get started, you’d like to have a hot breakfast.

Thankfully, there is no need to worry, because Mount Desert Island has some great places to get an early morning bite to eat.

Because we are so close to Downeast Maine blueberry country, the blueberry pancakes here are nothing short of legendary.

However, if your crowd is a little larger, Epi’s breakfast pizza will inspire your team to go further than you’d ever expect!
