Grab a bite to eat in the Cafe during Gardens Aglow
During Gardens Aglow, warm up in our Cafe with comfort food favorites like creamy mac & cheese (try it with pulled pork or buffalo cauliflower!), hearty chili bowls, or a pulled pork sandwich topped with slaw. Grab a hot cocoa, coffee, or quick snack like charcuterie or hummus, and end on a sweet note with freshly baked cookies or gluten-free brownies.
Stop by the Snack Shack for warm hot cocoa (add a splash of Bailey’s or Schnapps), freshly brewed coffee, or a local beer or wine. Enjoy tasty grab-and-go snacks like popcorn, donuts, Bixby Bars, and cookies—a perfect way to fuel up for your Gardens Aglow adventure!
We’re cooking up some tasty treats in our newly renovated Café! The Culinary Department is passionate about providing a memorable dining experience for our guests. As you sit in the dining room and look out onto the Great Lawn and Kitchen Garden, you realize the connection between plants grown in the outside world and the fresh produce served in the Café. We strive to provide local fare to our guests in a warm and inviting environment. To ensure the freshest ingredients, we partner with local farms for produce and neighbors Coastal Maine Popcorn Company and Betsy’s Fancy Fudge in Boothbay Harbor for our sweet, tasty treats. Working with local producers and farmers is part of our environmentally responsible approach and supports sustainable local agriculture. Our menus will rotate seasonally and prioritize healthy and clean flavors. With vegetarian, gluten-free, and vegan options, we hope to accommodate most dietary restrictions. We look forward to feeding your families this season!
