Dot’s Market

Dot's is my new Midcoast destination. Incredible baked goods (chocolate walnut scone is fresh, huge and with perfectly balanced flavors). Great coffee. Amazing kale superfood salad. Lovely outdoor seating and indoor seating. Cute merch. In short, it is everything you hope and independent specialty food store and bakery would be ! Very nice stuff too!

I enjoyed visiting this market while randomly stopped during a road trip. Friendly staff with good service. Enjoyed couple of snacks. But they had lots of choices to enjoy.

Such a cute little market with coffee, baked goods and take away items. Got blueberry muffins, egg sandwiches and coffee and it was great. Wish we lived closer to a cute little market like this. Prices were very reasonable too. Lots of gluten free options.

Popular! Great cookies and pastries. The Ginger molasses is a standout. They were hand pulling turkey for lunch when we were there. The breakfast sandwiches were also delicious. Don’t just pass by. Stop and get a treat and coffee. You deserve it.

Excellent breakfast sandwich, decently good lunch sandwich and rather dry raspberry lemon loaf cake. Prices are high and they don’t seem to keep regular hours. The door says they open at 8 am and there was not a soul in sight today at 8 am and yesterday they were closed early. So, don’t count on being able to stop for food, but if it’s open they do have some tasty items.

I stopped for the coffee but they've got so much more. This is gourmet convenience market, gift and coffee shop. Great grab and go selection of baked goods, sandwiches, salads and more. Lots of parking and full bars of Verizon 4G LTE Roaming.

Always a great place to stop for coffee and food! Great baked goods and sandwiches.

Is it upmarket prices. Yes. Is it delicious. Yes. You get what you pay for in terms of the homemade food. That said, I wouldn’t buy any of the overpriced merch they sell. It makes for a cute store, but most of those items can be found elsewhere for much less. Side note: the pistachio rose cake is surprisingly divine!!! Thought it would be dry and overly floral, but it is moist and beautifully balanced. Well done!!!

Yum! The market is well-curated, with an array of local brands and other popular brands to fit most everyday cooking needs. Apart from the market, there is a great selection of homemade sandwiches, soups, and other prepared goodies. The 'deli counter' style counter service moves quickly, and the seating area has an array of magazines/games to enjoy with your meal! This would be a 'must stop' when grabbing to go provisions fir your mid-coast daily adventures!

Omg! The Pig & Fig sandwich is amazing! Soo good! We picked it up for lunch to take on a sailboat ride but ended up saving to to eat at the top of Mount Battie! It was so good and the perfect travel lunch! The shop was super cute and the staff was very friendly. I can't wait to go back and try some treats! Also loved the little lady out front

Really cute shop with lots of local goodies like jams, sauces, and other fun finds. We had the breakfast sandwich, ham and cheese croissant, and coffee -- all delicious! Cozy spot and definitely worth a stop.

I come to this place AT THE VERY LEAST three times every time I am MidCoast. Their food is excellent. Always lots of gluten free options. I have discovered products there from so many parts of the world and went on to keep ordering and eating at home. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Cute gifts and curios if you need a souvenir for someone, too.

Good god. This place is just f****g spectacular- especially the homemade granola bars and the little egg frittatas are better than my dad's old Playboys. Coffee is solid. I dream About the food here.

So happy to have a place, just down the street, that cares about the quality of their food as much as Dot's does. The breakfast BLTs are the best I've ever had. The bread on the premade sandwiches is incredible and the entrées in the case are to die for. Excellent premade, frozen lasagna, chicken, pot pies, shepherds pie, and an assortment of soups. The gluten-free sweets are a real treat! It's a spot that's more than a dot!

Food was scrumptious and fresh. The people working the deli were prompt and tedious. Much to look at with local artisans, crafts, foods, etc. We enjoyed our lunch indoors, but you can eat outdoors or take it to-go. We had curried chicken salad wrap, the Italian sammie, pasta salad, dill potato salad and blueberry cheesecake--ALL GREAT! Noise from all the hustle and bustle might be overstimulating.

Really delicious food in a bright, upscale setting. So many choices...good coffee, pastries, sandwiches, salads all freshly- made, plus a huge variety of snacks and cheeses. We enjoyed both a light lunch in the cafe area and carryout dinner with lamb skewers, chicken tenders, salad and wine. Friendly service.

65 bucks for three sandwiches and three drinks. Also no water available without buying plastic bottles. Can not get a cup of water.

The teenage women running the coffee/hot drink area don't know what they are doing. They first didn't stir the matcha, then called me hypocritical after I asked to have less ice. They made the cup about 3/4 ice and proceeded to not stir the matcha, neither add an amount of the syrup that they were supposed to. They said that more ice was " more volume ", and refused to give me the oat milk that I asked them for when they didn't fully fill the cup, I don't see the reason in this because the hot matcha and iced matcha are the same price, yet the hot matcha has everything I asked for, fully filled, but just warm. They also looked over to their boss like I was trying to scam them. Get better service for your younger employees who think that their ego is more important than your products. They make it so the only good thing about Dots is the location. They also were making loud noises in the background and not paying attention to what they were doing, along with going through social media during shifts.

Charming store. Convenient to the ferry. Very clean Friendly staff great food Killer cappuccino!.

An absolutely adorable market place to get some fresh baked goods, sandwiches and breakfast. They also sell wine by the bottle and other local goods. The staff were incredible friendly and while they were extremely busy they were still tentative. If I lived closer I would be going here every week at least for a snack.

Place is so cute and has everything you can imagine from gifts to pastries, wine to ice cream, a plethora of cheeses, beer, snacks, and sandwiches. Everyone was friendly and the location is super convenient.

We stopped in for espresso, which was excellent, and ended up buying picnic lunch goodies as well as food for dinner on the road. The pastries all looked delicious and the ones we bought were wonderful. The selection of gluten-free pastries was almost overwhelming, and the choices we made were delicious. The blueberry bbq rubbed pork ribs were excellent, and the sourdough chicken and cheese sandwich was perfect. All of the sraff was helpful and enjoying their day. It is a charming, clean, and peaceful spot that were we not on a schedule to go see stuff we would have been happy to stay and dine there.

Stopped here twice while staying nearby for a couple of nights about a month ago. Such a wonderful and friendly little shop. All the snacks, drinks, pastries, food, and gift ideas one would need for a little getaway! Wish we had something like this where we live!

What's not to love. Lovely pastry, delicious sandwiches. nice choice of wines, great customer service. We eat at Dots all the time.

Fantastic market a little north of Camden. We stopped here twice and once it was closed, but once we had great sandwiches and great coffee. Outside seating in the summer.

Truly a treasure, this amazing market has incredible sandwiches, baked goods, prepared foods, cool locally made items, and much more. Definitely worth a stop before catching the ferry to Islesboro. I can't wait to go back!! Oh, and most importantly, the staff is KICK-ASS!!!

Lovely market with great food & good coffee. Gluten free lemon polenta cake and bacon egg and cheeses on biscuits were outta this world. Many items to browse , both food , wine and gift. Satisfied our shopping fix first thing in the morning. Easy parking and nice staff. Only comment we all had was they need better signs as to where to pick up your order.

Love it here! Sandwiches, prepared foods, and baked goods are always on point, big selection of pricey but delicious juices and kombuchas. If you ever see the maple syrup fried chicken sandwich on the specials, BUY IT IMMEDIATELY! It is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life.

Great option when you want a grab-n-go, because the offerings are anything but boring! I had the Pig and Fig sandwich (warmed), along with a medley of honey-balsamic vegetables. Absolutely delicious, and left no room for the blueberry crumble bar I also got; but it was also the perfect blend of fruit and crumble, eaten after a long hike I took later. They also have a few breakfast items and even dinner-type options, for those not wanting a sandwich.

A gem of a gourmet store with something for everyone! Whether you want a steaming latte on a foggy day with a scrumptious brownie or a savory bite after a hike or to stock up on wine, cheese, prepared food, and fun souvenirs, Dot's is the spot. A must do on our family trips to Maine!

I got a sea salt chocolate chip cookie. It was a bit heavy on the sea salt for my taste, so I scraped some of it off. With that modification, it was fantastic. I will be buying these every time I am in the area!

Stopped at Dots for breakfast today. Wife had the bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. I had the bacon, egg baguette. Both were incredible. Store has a good selection of to go items. If you're in the area Dots is a must stop.

Good variety and some healthy options for lunch/dinner. Coffee bar was great and easy to make your own. Pastry and bakery looked awesome. Maybe add more healthy breakfast selections like steel cut oats, for example. Pricey though but you get what you pay for. Picnic benches outside in which to sit and enjoy food. A great spot to get a few things.

Food is yummy. Place is fun. It's only 15 minutes from my home. Great place to go for coffee and something yummy. Love it.

Thought we'd die of pleasure from the fragrance of a well seasoned turkey just pulled from the oven before we walked in. What a great spot to grab a coffee and pastry made fresh in front of your eyes. There's an array of salads and side dishes in the deli as well as meats. The house brewed coffee are good, and the blueberry pastry and carrot cake were amazing. Loads of bottled wines to choose from.

The Moroccan pocket pie is delicious! The crust is flaky, delicate, and the filling flavorful. What a delight! Donna, the Barista, made me a fabulous oat milk late . A good experience all around! Yum!

Traveling the coast from Bar Harbor to Portland and we needed a bathroom and snack. We were tickled to have found this gem of a spot on our route. When we walked in, we were greeted with the most amazing aroma and struggled to make our choices from the plentiful fresh baked yummies. We settled on a couple of cookies (molasses was divine), the blueberry crumble bar (delicious), the blueberry cream cheese coffee cake (full of so much yuminess) and the bacon, cheddar, scallion scone (phenomenal). We all wish we had longer in the area to try more. There's also an adorable shop attached to the bakery full of cute kitchen and home items, specialty foods and wines. We didn't buy anything because we were traveling but I sure would have loved to!

I love what they are doing with the place! The kitchen is busy. The family is working together. The display items are modern and traditional! The food looks delicious. Whether it's a good old fashioned bearclaw or it's a breakfast burrito with scrambled eggs and quinoa. She teased me by putting out a killer lasagna as I looked in the case at the blackened salmon. Sandwiches, panini, salads, hummus, and daily changing specials. You can pick up breakfast, lunch or dinner and grab your wine and a coffee or something unique from the cooler! I've added a few photos to highlight how nice the layout is. Or should I say how enticing the layout is. There are plenty of chairs and tables inside. Her next move should be outdoor seating on a patio! The parking lot is pretty big and was full! It is an awesome summer vacation place to get your morning bakery splurge, drink coffee, read a paper and meet locals as well as other vacationers. And to get a packed lunch for the ferry ride to the island, bring your lunch to the vineyard nearby, or load your pack for one of the hiking trails! It's also fantastic for the locals. Grab something for any meal(s). And it's also delightful when you're being a tourist in your own town. I want to own a place JUST like Dot's. Nice job!

This place is great if you need a quick coffee and easy breakfast in the morning! Also, if you need any wine, sandwiches or pastries this is your spot! They have outdoor seating if you want to stick around and enjoy your breakfast or lunch outdoors or their friendly staff will package it all up for you and send you on your merry way :) Great little spot!

Out of this world pastries, yummy breakfast sandwiches, amazing soups...plus gorgeous greeting cards and unique gifts. A treasure!!

Best place in Lincolnville Beach for food. Mostly 'to'go' but there is some 'in store' & outside seating. Be sure to take some homemade biscuits & meatloaf home when you leave, A wide array of food from soups/salads, quiches & pastas are available, homemade from 'scratch' & very good. Give Dot's a try, you won't be disappointed!

Under new ownership and management. So good! Coffee and cookies, cava and crabcakes. Roasted local root vegetables to go. Sandwiches. The best quiche. And gifts. Like fairy doors! Love this place. Few weeks in: breakfast burrito and breakfast baguette. Warmed toasty with the best ingredients. For last minutes holiday gifts: wine gourmet cheeses maple syrup in arty bottles and many other arty items. You'll love Dot's.

My wife and I have been on vacation in Maine staying in a hotel near Dot's market. It's become our routine to stop by Dot's every morning and grab breakfast, coffee and a few lunch items. We have been very pleased with all items, the staff, the amazing assortment of fresh baked and cooked food. The place has a nice atmosphere and a bunch of folks baking away in plain sight. Fabulous to see exactly how the food is made. I would definitely recommend stopping by and giving it a look/taste.

Great prepared food, breakfast and coffee and awesome baked goods. Try the bread loaves.

I happened to be passing through the area about lunch time, so took a chance. They had a deli counter....some sandwiches, etc. I opted for the Mediterranean Tuna salad which was very good. The gazpacho was marginal....tasted almost carbonated, can't explain that. The brownie and energy bar were both very good. They have a nice wine selection and many items for carry out. They also have some souvenir type things....everything from lip balm to kitchen items. Interesting inventory. Would probably stop back in if ever in the area.

Nice little find. It looks like a typical roadside eatery but you walk on and find a little cafe that serves pastries, wine, beer, ice cream, other items. Great breakfast burrito that is prepared in the AM and heated on a sandwich press. Has sirracha, quinoa, black bean, cheese, egg. It all melded together perfectly and was delicious with each bite. Great strong coffee.

What a gem!!! Good coffee and wonderful pastries. Had a date bar and oatmeal raisin cookie, which I loved. Appeared to have a great wine selection and done excellent olive oil and balsamic vinegars. Highly recommend.

Hipster bakery & shop. You'll get on trend menu items with the prices to match. One sandwich and a pastry cost around 14.00 - which wasn't bad given the area. There's a bigger retail selection than food selection.

This is an excellent place if you want a good breakfast sammy or something for lunch. Everything is fresh and tastes great. This is an area of maine that needs something like this.

I went in not really knowing what types of desserts they served, if any...when I asked if they had any cakes for sale and the lady behind the counter rolled her eyes at me, I knew they didn't sell cakes...I politely said thank you and left, haven't been back since and don't plan on returning!!

I was very excited to go here because we wanted to visit Lincolnville while staying in Camden. We arrived and were very put off by the not rude but cold attitude of the service there. Not only did nobody even say good morning back to us when we walked in they almost acted annoyed that we ordered. To be honest I regretted ordering due to their poor attitude much rather would have supported a business that cares about customers. The food and iced latte was good as far as egg sandwiches that cost $6 go. I will say this they do have a nice wine selection.

I've been going to Dot's for many years, mostly to/from the Islesboro ferry and have always thought it was a good place to stop, until now. This review is from my visit last month, so some new policies may have changed, or better yet, abolished all together. I couldn't say, I haven't been back since. Okay, Melissa wasn't the warmest person in the world, but compared to the "new" Dot's, I can forgive any personality issues she may have had. Strangely, now all baked goods were behind glass. This wouldn't be a problem if the meager morning staff were efficient and bagged your baked goods seconds after choosing them, but at Dot's this is not the case. Everyone here seems to be shocked that customers are here for service. Seriously, if you now place baked goods behind glass, you should have people eager to serve you. The old "self serve" method worked quite well, you only needed someone to ring up your purchase, now you need someone for both, and the staff is either unaware or unwilling to provide much help, under a system they created. The "grab and go" sandwiches were gone too. There was plate of sandwiches, unmarked, on a counter. When I asked what they were, the staff seemed sadly confused, they had to look at the sides and sort of guessed at their contents. It seems they've found a way to make choosing items difficult and in my case, very frustrating. What was wrong with the chalk board with ingredients and corresponding numbers attached to each sandwich? We're not splitting atoms here, just let the customer reach in the refrigerated case and pull out the item they want...why complete things? About the food; it's great when you finally get your order. The sandwiches are the same as the "old" Dot's. The baked goods are fresh and homemade, as well as the breakfast sandwiches, but beware, it will take a long time to get someone to place it in the panini grill and longer to have it heated. When I was there some poor soul was waiting for quite sometime, only to have the server forget about him and his sandwich and sadly it burned. The server took it off the grill and gave the poor guy a burned sandwich, I assume he was so exasperated at this point, he just left with a carbonized breakfast sandwich in hand, most likely to miss that hour's ferry. We were treated to hazy smoke filling the air, making your all too lengthy stay here just a notch above uncomfortable. In the end, its best attribute is its proximity to the ferry, which is why the cafe was set up the way it previously was. The new owners do not seem to have a grasp to this concept, if it takes ten or more minutes to wait for someone to stick a muffin in a bag, there's no reason to waste valuable ferry line time standing around for that muffin! Perhaps the new owners will get it right in time, but having to wait and wait and wait for someone to notice you, let alone muster the energy to ask "can I help you" far outweighs any delicious food you're nearly begging for.

Dots is AMAZING! Came here for breakfast for a few days, and had many different things. Everything was delicious-muffins, coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and pastries. Everything was fresh and totally worth it. A must try when your in town!

My review of 8/2013 stands. Food still incredibly delicious. Service friendlier but still a bit annoying to try to pay when ready to leave as a fresh wave of customers rolls in. From 8/2013: 5 star food, 3 star service / organization. The deli case is gourmet deliciousness. The bakery case made me want to order one of everything. Very much worth stopping for a delicious lunch and would be 5 stars if the service were friendlier and better organized. Suggestions: self serve water by the coffee hot pots, a clear place for food when it's ready to pick up instead of letting it sit at the register under the nose of the next patrons, take customer name and write down the order so we can pay promptly when ready to leave (we had to remember / reiterate to the gal working the register as no listing had been made), empty the trash cans, etc. The food was great, but the overall delivery experience was neither friendly nor efficient.

Cute little cafe! Loved their GF carrot wraps! Was lucky enough to have them 3 times before they stopped carrying them! Really hoping they have them again this year! They also have an amazing frozen. GF non dairy cookie sandwich! Love it!

My wife and I would consider this the best deli and bakery we have found in Maine. great baguettes and coffee. The cinnamon donu and crossants. The food counter had all sorts of veggies and dishes. Great gift shop too.

We've tried all manner of things from Dot's over the past 2 years and have never been disappointed. Bonus for staying open through the home stay.
