Cape Whoopies, Maine's Gourmet Whoopie Pie

We ordered a huge order of whoopie pies from Cape Whoopies for our wedding. It was perfect! Every flavor was delicious and our guests loved all of the options. Being able to pick them up in advance since they were each pre-wrapped and didn't need to be refrigerated made it incredibly easy for us. They were also sized perfectly for a one-person dessert. We couldn't recommend them more!

So glad we made this stop. Mrs. Wiggins, the owner, greeted us at the counter and helped us picked out our whoopie pies. She was such a joy to speak with. The entrance is on the back side of the building opposite of the mast landing brewing company. Don’t miss this place!!

I actually had these delivered for my bday each year I have something from outside my living area delivered so I can try it. this year its whoopie pies which are hard to find where I live but I do enjoy them. overall the cakes were fresh nothing taste stale or old. with cake it just a preference whether you like the combination the type of chocalate they use the amount of sweetness it may have etc. I got a 12 pack of 4 flavors my ratings are Maine-iac – Decadent chocolate cakes filled with vanilla cream. B-. im didnt care for the chocalate which i believe is dark chocalate always leaves an unpleasant taste in my mouth but the cake itself was moist. just not for me Britt’s Fav – Decadent chocolate cakes filled with dark chocolate cream. C. my least favorite. I just didnt like the chocalate cream again dark chocalate. I knew this was dark chocalate and I dont like dark chocalate but Im stupid enough to keep trying dark chocalate lol. again the cake was moist and fresh. Boston Strong – Buttery vanilla cakes filled with fudge and vanilla cream. A definitely my favorite they do vanilla cake very well. moist, sweet like I like it although I didnt taste the fudge that much but when I did, it adds a nice touch to the cream. like vanilla ice cream with chocalate syrup which I love. Bromance – Chocolate chip vanilla cakes filled with vanilla cream. B+ hey this taste like a chocalate chip cookie with ice cream in the middle. enjoyed very much. so im 2 for 2 but happy with my purchase. I like the packaging it came in able to share the rest with my coworkers. would definitely try again. the price also wasn't bad. and I read they stay fresh in freezer for up to a year

Traveling on a birthday road trip from Charlotte, NC to Maine we stumbled upon this gem. Met the owner and had the best conversation about her family and how she started the business. Shop is small, walk in and go but when I say these pies are the best I’ve ever had- I mean hands down. No comparison. I’ll go home and ship some of these to my adult kids so they can get them.

We got here almost right when they opened, and they were fully stocked up. It was fun coming in assembling a box of all the flavors I wanted. The Whoopies were delicious and ranged from a more traditional chocolate to cookie or even birthday cake. There are lots of options for the whole family. Worth the visit!

Please save your money and buy Whoopie pies from somewhere else. I unfortunately just wasted 60 bucks on little dry hockey pucks and when I took them back, the owner told me she would not give me my money back because this is the way they make their Whoopie pies. The cakes were so dry and so old they were not edible and I absolutely refuse to give somebody these for their birthday, which was the intent. Way too bad!

Even though raised in Maine, hubby had never had a whoopie pie. We stopped in on our way to the airport. Cape Whoopies were fluffy, moist, and soft. Yummy! They were not overly sweet, and the flavor combinations were fantastic. I think they use real butter as opposed to Cristo, which makes a huge difference in taste and consistency. Love it! When you walked to the ordering area, you could see where they made the WP. Very clean! The gentleman working the order station was very friendly and offered suggestions. Went over options for ordering and the best way to transport WP. We tried them both room temp and cold, and they were super yummy either way. Just filling was not as cream when cold. However, the flavor was still really good. The flavors we tried were: Lime Coconut Peanut Butter Chocolate Birthday Cake One with raspberry filling One with blueberry filling Traditional

Go go go, and get the Bromance whoopie pie. Great taste, and lovely to eat. The owner is wonderful and her passion is the main ingredient. We sent 24 home before we left Maine.

What's not to like about a Whoopie? Clean space, friendly environment and people. All in all a winner.

Not busy when we arrived. Staff was super friendly and helpful, it was my first time visiting. They recommended flavors and were very prompt with ringing us up. The whoopie pies were good and loved that you can freeze and eat them later.

We were told to come here for authentic whoopie pies while in town. We were surprised to see that you come to the window and order what you want. There's a big board of what they have available. We purchased 6 and they were chocolate with almond cream, chocolate with vanilla cream, coconut with lime cream. We were disappointed they were totally out of the blueberry lemon cream. We learned that they had a bar bistro cafe adjacent to the building. This is open when they close. Pricing is reasonable. The lady behind the counter was nice enough. The ones we tasted were delicious!! I hope the others stay fresh until we get home.

Not sure how this place only has 3.8 Stars. Marsha, the owner helped me out. Initially walking in she greeted me with a big smile. This was my first time in the New England area and heard Whoopie Pies was a must have. I looked around at some restaurants and they were all $6-$8 for one pie, So we decided to grab one at the place named after the desert. I'm glad I did. I couldn't decide which pie to choose out of the so many flavors, so Marsha helped me out, she wrote down my top 3 choices and let me pick out of a bucket!! Made it a fun experience. The Whoopie Pies I got were the Main-iac and the Maple Sunday at $3.95 a piece. Honestly I thought these were going to be insanely sweet and taste Artificial. But they surprised me. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. The Original flavor was a perfect amount of Soft, Sweet and a great amount of filling. The Maple Sunday tasted exactly like Marsha said it would; Pancakes with Maple syrup. Overall the quality, the service, the small but convenient location was perfect. 100% Swing by and try this out, it truly is a must Try when in Portland

My only regret about visiting Cape Whoopies was not ordering more than four whoopie pies. At $3.75 a piece ($4.25 for the gluten free options), these were reasonably priced and not too sweet. Ordered the Maine-iac, wild blue, Boston strong, and birthday suite. Although all four were good, I surprisingly enjoyed birthday suite the most. This whoopie pie had cream cheese sandwiched between confetti cake and was rolled in sprinkles. My second favorite was Boston strong, which was supposed to resemble a Boston cream pie and it definitely did. I enjoyed the vanilla cream filling and layer of fudge that was on the each of the vanilla cake pieces. The wild blue was surprisingly the least favorite whoopie pie for everyone. I think the lemon cream filling was way too tart and took away from the blueberry cake, which you could barely tell was blueberry. The Maine-iac, was good, but probably the least adventurous of all the options (chocolate cake with vanilla cream). Service was quick and friendly. If no one is at the counter, there's a bell up front to ring. Note: No public restrooms available.

They were good but a little dry. I enjoyed the flavor varieties. The joint building with what appeared to be a coffee shop taking over the majority could be redesigned to have a more connected and eye-catching experience.

After trying unsuccessfully to find whoopie pies at a local bakery, we decided to circle back to Cape Whoopies and see what the whoopin' is all about for this local treat. Cape Whoopies is a commercial production facility, so far as I can tell, which makes and packages whoopie pies for distribution. They do have a walk-up window inside just down the short hallway where you can buy them at retail, so we walked in, rang the bell, and did just that. We got a couple of flavors--a classic chocolate with white cream, and a seasonal (pumpkin?) one that we put in the car and ate after our next few meals. I'm not in love with marshmallow in any format, so the ceiling is already set, but I did love all the creative flavors, and I liked that even though they're packaging these, they have that walkup retail window. They were super friendly and patient, so it was a positive experience for me. I've now had my first foray in the wild world of whoopie pies.

Delicious whoopies!! This is a must try when visiting the area. The tall dark and handsome is my favorite.

My first time at this location and it was an amazing experience. Firstly, the owner was a perfect host and explained all the different Whoopie Pies. Secondly, the pies were so delicious and they also have Gluten-free options. I am going back to Maine next month and I will be back to Cape Whoopies.

The day was perfect with a bit of a heat wave at the end of February and my wife and I decided to end a perfect afternoon visiting Fort Williams by treating ourselves to one of the famous Cape Whoopie, Whoopie pies. I went vanilla and got a Smart Blonde Whoopie Pie and my wife went chocolate all the way and purchased the Maine-iac Whoopie Pie. My wife found the cake a little dry, however loved the rich chocolaty cream. The cake on my whoopie pie was excellent, however the cream on mine could have been a little sweeter. We only treated ourselves to one each because they are a bit pricey. I would suggest to the owner to offer special pricing if buying a 1/2. So, when near the Cape area do stop by Cape Whoopie and treat yourself.

I am arguably, the greatest connoisseur of whoopie pies north of the Piscataqua River, so the following review is all you need. A friend gave me two of these "whoopie pies" recently, and I found them completely inedible. The filling has the consistency of rubber, and the taste was borderline disgusting. If you found these to be delightful, you need to track down a real whoopie pie and taste and feel the difference. These, in no way imaginable, can be called whoopie pies. If you're looking for a real whoopie pie, try Baker's Bench in Westbrook, or Anania's in Portland. Those are proper, tasty examples of whoopie pies. Wicked Whoopies, you say? Those are greasy, gross imitations of whoopie pies, so don't bother with those either.

The absolute best whoopie pies. We wanted to send them to all of our clients as thank you gifts this past holiday season. But first, I had to send an order to an official, whoopie pie connoisseur for approval. Lo and behold, the feedback was so positive we sent them to all of our clients. Homemade, delicious (not cheap) fillings, careful wrapping and all around perfect! Thank you for creating a superior product!

This building serves two purposes; whoopie pie factory and coffee shop. I purchased a regular classic black and white whoopie pie (named MAINE-IAC). I had planned in taking him over to Portland but unfortunately my little friend didnt survive the car ride. I got stuck in traffic on the bridge and he kept whispering to me, "eat me... eat me." So I obliged. That little pie tasted very good. Although I must say that I've never had a bad whoopie pie in Maine. I tend to like flatter shaped whoopie pies with slightly more cream. But like I said, I've never had a bad whoopie pie in Maine. It's probably because Mainers take their whoopie pies very serious and there's plenty of competition in the state. The coffee shop section seems like a nice place to chill and relax for a while. The building itself is located in the burbs so you'll likely need a car to get to it. There is parking in the rear.

Can't stop raving about Cape Whoopies! I'll never have whoopie pies from anywhere else. Highest quality ingredients and creative flavors keep me coming back for my favorites as I make sure to always try ones I have yet to. Recommend to buy/order extra since they freeze and thaw so well. I often ship a dozen as gifts and see friends and family pick up the same gifting habit once they receive their delicious birthday and holiday mixed dozen. The owner Marcia has such lovely energy.

Rwanda coffees and Cape Whoopies have a sweet shop (pun intended) in SoPo with Rwanda crafts, kombucha and a mellow atmosphere. Plenty of window and table seating and parking in the back. 50% of sales go back to the owner's home country of Rwanda. They have other locations too so I may have to try those out, you know, for research purposes. :-) All of their locations are open to the public and I highly encourage you to check them all out.

My husband and I recently visited Maine for our first time and we were told to try the Whoopie Pies. They looked delicious. We Yelp'd the reviews and decided to try Cape Whoopies. We both tried the strawberry shortcake and the traditional devil's food with white filling. We also ordered the choc/peanut butter and I believe a vanilla one ( I'm not sure bc it went in the trash). One reviewer was right. They were dry and crumbly. This was our first experience with this dessert but we were not impressed. Surely if they're "all the rave" they would've tasted better. The actual store is located in the back of the building. When we got there the lady behind the counter was finishing up with a customer and another couple was in front of us. They kindly told us to go ahead of them bc they had never been before, we told them we had never been too. The worker just said ok let me know when you're ready and walked off instead of taking the opportunity to tell us the most popular or anything. Thought it was a little rude to leave 4 new customers at the counter wondering.

Really good Whoopie Pies at a decent price point! They have a ton of non-traditional flavors to choose from and surprisingly, these have quite a long shelf life. The service was super friendly and I loved that I could stop at the coffee shop up front for a drink while I was there to pick up dessert!

A bit overpriced and quality was only so so. We had significantly better ones from the local grocery store. We tried chocolate, chocolate peanut butter and maple. The chocolate peanut butter had almost no peanut flavor at all. The other 2 flavors were better but texture was firm and dry. Would not return, unfortunately.

Stopped in today because we saw "Whoopies" on the front of the building and thought of Whoopie pies that we know. When came in, were very surprised that the whoopie was the size of a Dunkin donut. We were here just before closing so didn't have much to choose from for Whoopies. We didn't have it there and instead brought with us for later. We did get coffee there was which good. The mocha latte I ordered was bland and nothing to brag about. I honestly didn't taste any flavor, not even the mocha. I'll bet they made it incorrect. When we had the whoopie later, it tasted horrible. We paid almost $4.00 for the most terrible tasting and dry whoopie. It tasted like it was in a freezer and also tasted old. I do not recommend you waste your money on one. Within hours of eating this terrible whoopie, my wife and I became very ill. This illness would last multiple days including stomach pains. The staff were friendly and that was the only good thing about the visit.

Absolutely delicious whoopie pies!!! My friend and I's first time having some and the lady behind the counter couldn't have been nicer! She even warmed them up for us :,) Couldn't have stopped at a better place!

Great Tasting Great Selection!!!! Highly Recommend! The owner is so sweet!!! Worth the trip to stop by and check out the selection!!!

Not sure how the guy below here could give this place 1 star.. Anyone should know that if you go to a bakery/pastry shop at the end of the day, pickins will be slim. ‍ This place is awesome. Yes, the whoopies are some of the best I've ever had, but the place serves coffee, teas, and even some kombucha from a tap too. They use fresh and real ingredients in their bakery.. Which is probably why they taste sooo good (no preservatives from what i saw .. which is hard to come by with a lot of baked goods it seems nowadays). The place is huge too.. So feel free to bring a few friends and fam!

We have been enjoying the summer in Maine for 2 months and have enjoyed these delicious, decadent, uniquely named Whoopie pies every chance we get, rain or shine! They are always upbeat and accommodating (one time we got there at 2pm not knowing they close at 2 and they still accommodated us, thanks for much!

Found this place on YELP and drove over to give it a try. Picked up 3 different flavors: traditional, chopped with peanut butter filling and the chocolate chip with vanilla filling. All were good but the 2 chocolate were our favorites. These whoopie pies are delicious. The cake part is moist and the filling is fluffy, smooth and not overly sweet. A perfect combo of taste and texture. We ordered these for my sister's beach wedding as an alternate for wedding cake.

These were NOT what we expected. I haven't had a lot of Whoopie pies in my life but it seems like they should be sweet cake like treats. These were not. They were gummy and definitely not sweet. They stuck to our teeth and the lemon and key lime flavors were so sour we couldn't eat them. Uuugghh these were pricey and we threw 3 of them away.

I wanted to give my Boston-native dil now living in Florida a little taste of home. Ordered a dozen whoopie pies to be sent to her - an expensive gift, but knew it would be such a fun surprise! Instead they came to me in Alabama, were left on the porch in a cardboard box in full sun, and were covered with ants. Did I make a mistake placing my order? Or did they mistakenly send to the buyer rather than the receiver? I'll never know because I reached out by email and by phone and never received anything back. BUYER BEWARE!

Good place to stop for some coffee and dessert. I tried the Crazy Nut Job whoopie pie, it was pretty good. The cookies were soft and the filling inside was light and flavorful. I also got the light roast cold brew, it was good! Cool to see coffee on tap. The people working here were friendly and helpful, explained all the different whoopie flavors to me.

Had my very first Whoopie pie here and boy am I glad I did. Ordered the Blondie which has chocolate chips and homemade caramel.... to die for!!!!!!!! So moist, creamy and overall amazing!! Also they've partnered with Rwanda Bean coffee which is sold here, the dark roast is rich and bold flavored. Definitely stop by on you way to Cape Elizabeth Light house, you'll be happy you did

Update. Stopped by for more of the same mentioned above. These were served from front case cooler. They took too long to reach room temp by time we ate them halfhour down the road still cold. It makes a huge difference in the taste of product. The center icing takes on a marshmallow texture not luke the fluffy light airy when room temp. So be sure you eat these warm to room temp for the best Whoopie experience. Suggestion to Cape Whoopie to have plenty of offerings at room temp not cooled.

Let's start with the positive. The service was pretty good, and it was easy to find. It is just a window counter like you'd have at a basketball game near the gym. My husband loves whoopie pies & I was excited to take him home something from my trip to Maine. As soon as I saw that the pies were pre-packaged, I thought maybe just buy one. My sister stepped up and said, "Let's get 6 so I can have some too." We ordered 2 OG's, a Maple, a Hot Chocolate, a salted carmel and one other one. We opened the OG first and it was nasty! Dry and the filling was a sticky, tasteless, and a weird color. The maple was a white cake but literally had no flavor. The hot chocolate was all chocolate with a spicy ending. Again, dry and weird texture to the filling. I think it was $24 dollars for something Duncan Hines could have done better with their chocolate cake mix and whipped vanilla icing! It is definitely a tourist trap. Do yourself a favor and put the money towards a lobster roll downtown

I was really excited to check out this new coffee shop and bakery. My husband had been doing yard work all day so I figured I would surprise him with some whoopie pies. First of all the place is huge. But it isn't really a bakery like I expected. There's just one small-ish case of pre-packaged whoopie pies. I thought I must be missing something but I was told that's it. So I ordered two at $3.50 each which seemed high given the size. However when I got home and took them out the bag, I realized my pre-packaged whoopie pies were partially frozen! Not what I would expect from what I thought was a bakery. The whoopie pies were decent but I was irked that they weren't freshly made. I will go back to try the coffee. Hope the set up for the whoopie pies is just temporary as they just opened.

Absolutely delicious whoopie pies! I got the Granny's gone wild and it was to die for. I also like that half the proceeds of each coffee purchase goes back to the coffee makers in Rwanda. Africa holds a special place in my heart (Kenya specifically) but I love to support any African business. The coffee was very good as well. Definitely a place everyone should stop at for a sweet treat and a Rwandan coffee!

Love their Woopie Pies the only problem is there are too many choices! We got the regular chocolate with vanilla but a trip back is necessary to pick up the vanilla cake with maple cream filling. I am obsessing over these!

Got a few different whoopie pies to try. I liked the cream more than the cakes. Underwhelming chocolate cake, it was a little dry and bland, but enjoyed the peanut butter cream inside. Not the worst but not the best!

Hi, I purchased this specialty whoopie pie at the local Wegmans. I was excited because I usually don't splurge on prepackaged dessert items because of the price. Well, I agree with the reviewer before me. The cake was a bit dry but very tasty. The cream filling was uneatable. It was not sweet enough and it had a dense sponge like consistency. Truthfully, I am not hard to please when it comes to sugar. Unfortunately, this treat left a lot to be desired and I think that I will follow my original instinct and stick with the store bakery items.

Love this place.. it's our last stop before we head back home. It's spacious, the staff are friendly and the Whoopie pies are simply awesome. They serve very good coffee too (the strong & bold kind) similar to Philz, definitely better than Starbucks and the ones served at Marriott hotel. You also get to view the staff making Whoopie pies in their kitchen. If this place is in the Bay Area where we are from, it will be full of people just hanging out, working or surfing the net and parents bringing their kids to watch Whoopie pies being made.

Ran across this place on my way back from the Portland headlight and im glad i did. The whoopie pies were great (blondie and nut job) and it was the best coffee I've ever had. Highly recommend.

Not sure what all the fuss is about. We were super excited to try these but the cake part was dry and bland. Fillings were underwhelming.

Absolutely delicious whoopie pies! I tried the Chocolate Chip/Vanilla whoopie pie aka "Bromance". I had several questions and the gentlemen behind the desk was upbeat, friendly and helpful. They also have delicious Rwanda coffee at the same location. If you don't know what nitro coffee is, then do yourself a favor and give it a try! Its rich, smooth, flavorful and less acidic therefore easier to digest. It will not disappoint.

We stopped in here for a light breakfast after an early morning at Portland Head Lighthouse. The coffee and breakfast sandwiches were delicious. We got a variety of whoopie pies to enjoy back at our house. As we were leaving we stopped to watch the kitchen with our kids. The bakers noticed the audience and proceeded to bring out two pies for our kiddos. Such a sweet guesture...and delicious!! It was an overall wonderful experience.

Only 4 flavors on a small display. The coffee was ok. The Whoopie pies were good but much smaller and drier than other Maine Whoopies.

We stumbled upon this spot today while on our way home from Portland Head Light. We had read that the Whoopie pie is the official state treat of Maine so we decided to stop and try one. We have two small children, and they loved being able to watch all of the bakery operations through the large glass windows when we walked through the door. We ordered 3 different varieties of whoopie pies and they were all so delicious! My husband (who usually does not care for cake) even loved these. I would say the base is a combination of a cake and a cookie - moist, dense and chewy. I only wish we would have ordered a few extra to take home with us!

Absolutely delicious! Took a road trip just to have a mini vacation through the crazy times and on our way home we figured the best souvenir from Maine is a Whoopie pie. We found cape Whoopies and boy oh boy are we happy that we did. We got the summer assortment and they were just so good ! From the incredible s'mores to the deliciously simple bromance. It was nothing short of amazing. So happy we stopped here! && to add the coffee that is in the cafe is also delicious. Everyone was super nice and helpful and even taught us a thing or two about coffee and it definitely shows how much they care in the coffee. Needless to say this is a must stop all the way around.

We had to try a Maine Whoopie Pie, and this place was open and ready to satisfy our sweet tooth. Worth the stop after leaving Portland Head Light.

The customer service is something rare, uplifting and kind , a light in these challenging times and the product is fantastic. A friend and I were planning a social distance get together for a reunion of our adult children.. wanted to treat with Whoopie pies as a throw back to the younger days. I called, and tho they were closed Marcia called me and arranged to meet me at the store so I could pick up some pies. The get together was much needed, ... we overcooked the grilled chicken, played lots of corn hole, enjoyed our families being together again, and one of the highlights was the delicious Whoopie pies and marcia's kindness!

This place is advertised as Cape Whoopie. In reality it is a coffee shop. That has a 12in by 12in display case of small Whoopie pies. I did not get coffee, I purchased two Whoopie pies. The Boston strong (Yellow cake with fudge and white cream filling) and The Maine IAC. (Which is an original Whoopie pie. Chocolate cake with white filling) In both pies the cake part was great. Very moist and delicious. The filling not so much. The texture has the consistency of cottage cheese and has a sour taste. They were both extremely disappointing from a Whoopie pie lover standpoint. Also this shop should be advertised as a coffee shop, not a Whoopie pie shop. The coffee theme inside far outweighs the whoopie pies.

So disappointed, and I really wanted to love these! I placed an online order for a half dozen of the surprise assortment.I thought there would be 6 different flavors in the box, but there were two each of 3 flavors. OK, I figured maybe they would be amazing and the lack of flavor assortment would be OK. One of the flavors was the Smart Irish Blonde, which given the bright green color and name, I assume were made for St Patrick's Day. Unfortunately my order came a month after St Patrick's Day, so they were dry and the cream filling didn't taste fresh. The Spicy Chocolate Whoopie was a really strange combination of hazelnut and spice...not a pleasing combination, at least to my palate. The Salted Caramel Whoopies were the best of the three, but still, not at all what I was expecting. Maybe due to the COVID-19 shutdown, they had excess inventory that they wanted to get rid of, but I am not a fan of these Whoopie Pies at all. None tasted moist, creamy, fresh, or as flavorful as I was expecting. Come on Cape Whoopies, you can do better to impress a new customer! Sadly, I'll be searching elsewhere for a better Whoopie Pie next time.

As a linen delivery driver, I have had the privilege of sampling many restaurants and bakeries. Cape Whoopies is by far the best I've eaten as the filling is not too sweet and the flavor they advertise is what you taste...not like others that taste like sugar and shortening. I'd give them a three thumbs up if I had three thumbs!!

Cape Whoopies are absolutely the best Whoopie Pies in the whole world! Your new Lime in Da Coconut are my favorite! It was worth the trip.
