Post Office Cafe - Mount Vernon

Small place in the middle of nowhere, but my wife just had to try this place. We timed it wrong and hit the breakfast hours instead of lunch menu hours, but weren't disappointed. She wanted to try the sandwiches, but settled for a breakfast bagel. Now that bagel was huge and awesome, she loved it. I had stuffed French toast and an egg scramble. Everything was terrific. The service was good and the staff was friendly. We were looking for quaint places to bring visiting guests when they come up here, and this place certainly made the list.

I really hate writing bad reviews. I just don't feel good about it, because no one is perfect all the time. That being said, my boyfriend and I went out for breakfast at the Olde Post Office Cafe this morning, and they served him his breakfast sandwich on a moldy English muffin. There was a spot of blue mold the size of a quarter right on the outside in plain site. My boyfriend works in food service, so he refuses to complain no matter how bad the food or service is, but he did let the woman who took our order know about the mold, in case they had any other moldy English muffins in the kitchen. She responded that she was sorry... then walked away. A few minutes later she came back (prompted by the manager or owner) and asked us if she could get us another sandwich or anything else. My boyfriend said no, not to worry about it, because he's too nice. His breakfast sandwich was inedible, the fact that they let us walk out of there having paid for it, is absolutely appalling to me. The owner even came over as we were getting ready to leave and put a little flower on our table and said nothing about the moldy breakfast sandwich, didn't even offer an apology. I'm so disappointed, because the cafe is in such a lovely spot and I really really wanted to like it, but I don't see us ever going back after the experience we had... some smaller things that really irritated me; the silverware was plastic, individually wrapped in plastic, they served my mimosa in a plastic cup, and the spinach omelette I ordered was filled with an obscene amount of bland, unappetizing spinach. The sun dried tomatoes where all clustered in one small corner of the omelette and they were hard and flavorless. I used to get better omelettes at my university cafeteria. It's just so upsetting that if you want to live in a beautiful, quiet corner of Maine you have to sacrifice eating quality food... especially for the prices, which are very high... $9 for a little mimosa in a plastic cup? Ugh.

Adorable little Cafe with delicious food! Has outdoor seating right in the water!

Nice bright, cozy atmosphere! This place is fairy small but located right on the water and has a nice view of the lake. The food was very tasty and was brought out to us quickly. Sadly we missed breakfast (which ends at 11) but the Lox BLT was a great alternative! And the panini selection was great as well!

We celebrated a birthday breakfast at Dew Haven with a group of 6 adults and 4 children. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the animal park just a 5-minute drive down the road.
