In and around Brunswick
Food scene
A beloved Brunswick institution and mid coast daytime destination. Breakfast, but mostly lunch, take out. Everything you order (sandwiches, quiches, burritos, soups, cakes, and more) is amazing! Come early for the fish chowder. Their new location in the old navy base has tons of outdoor seating.
