Food Scene
This place has long been selling fine baked goods to stores throughout the area but for the past several years they've been serving pizza and breakfast pastries from a converted old farmhouse. They are not open every day so check their website for up to date information. In the summer there is so much demand you need to call ahead to reserve a pizza in the morning. They also sell salads, desserts and serve local microbreweries and wine. It takes some planning but it is definitely worth the effort. Recently they were featured in Bon Appetite Magazine as an honorable mention for best pizza in the country.

A quintessential fish shack with a beautiful view of the Baggaduce River. Come for the fried seafood (the haddock is particularly famous), diner classics or just for an ice cream.
