On the rare occasion, you find a business that's totally unassuming and perfectly comfortable being exactly what they set out to be. In short, Business as Art. Welcome Friends, to Acadia Foods.
I came in for breakfast, but more about that in a moment.
The moment you walk in, there's a perfect comfort and ease about the space and the vibe. Casual, powerfully community focused, arty, funky, and down-to-earth cool. Acadia Foods is at the same time coffee shop, local eatery, co-op, provision shop, and wine bar.
Their grocery selection is well curated and perfect for day-to-day provisioning with healthy, mostly-organic and local foods available. Apparently there is a co-op where members can sign up for member-select CDA boxes. And everyone is welcome to shop and buy whatever you need for your daily needs.
The coffee bar is stocked with the usual bevvys, and the barista, Salem, was awesome, well informed (I had questions), and genuinely kind. And the cappy she whipped up was excellent. Oh...and they have ceramic mugs for "drink here" coffees. Kudos!!
Now for the food...I ordered the ham & Brie breakfast sando. Absolutely...love at first bite!! Thin shaved succulent ham, melted Brie, a perfectly over medium runny-yoke friend egg, sautéed spinach, and a dash of Dijon on one of the best lightly charred, fluffy, chewy rolls I've had in a long time. Totally unexpected and completely delicious. This is my new perfect breakfast sando!!
Add to all this, a very respectable selection of bottles of wine and chilled beer to-go, or they will chill and/or open bottles for a $9 corkage. And wines available by the glass.
Acadia Food is a wonderful community market/deli/coffee shop/wine shop that excels at every turn. They truly have a sense of themselves and are unapologetically, beautiful who they are. I love being here and will absolutely be back again and again!! Cheers!
