Mount Desserts, Homemade Pies

Fantastic pies. It is designed for take out but the owner is nice enough to let hungry travelers sample their purchases. We were too hungry so we ate half a pie there! Their blueberries are hand picked and crusts are homemade. Best strawberry rhubarb pie I have ever had, and could say the same of the blueberry pie.

My husband and I traveled to Bar Harbor Maine and we were on a mission to find the best blueberry pie in the area. Mount Desserts Pie Company had thousands of positive reviews, so we decided that's where we had to go. When you arrive, there is a handmade sign on the side of the highway for the shop and the driveway to pull in is a little tricky and takes a minute to figure it out. We pulled up right in front of the doors. Tip: turning right after you enter the driveway says "exit" only, so you have to pull straight ahead, even if it seems like you're not supposed to park there. We headed inside and were greeted by a friendly woman named Brit who had a ton of pie boxes ready to go! We got our blueberry pie and ate half of it in the car after we drove away. The pie was exactly what we wanted: fresh, local, great texture, and buttery crust. It was perfection! Another tip: it's cash or Venmo only and you can call ahead. $35 per pie. It's whole pies only, they don't sell by the slice.

We found this little homemade pie shop driving from Bar Harbor to Ellsworth and decided to buy a pie to try. They had blueberry, strawberry, rhubarb, and mixed berry pie with blueberry, strawberry and raspberry. The pies are $35 each which I think is a little bit on the high side, but that's what you get in a tourist area. We chose the mixed Mary. I thought it was delicious. The pie crust was flaky and golden brown. The filling did overflow a little bit and go behind the piecrust and made the pie crust stick to the tin so we could not get a lot of the pie crust off the bottom of the pan but otherwise the pie was perfect and very delicious. They have an adorable cat there that was friendly and we got to. I'm not sure about the rules for pets and establishment where you bake food, but he was a sweet little fellow and we enjoyed his company.

We stopped by to buy a Maine blueberry pie and it was still warm from the oven! They also were offering a strawberry rhubarb and a mixed berry. We would have loved to get a second pie but they are $35 a pop and they dont sell slices. A must try for pie lovers though!

We actually came here on two separate days to get pies. On the first day, we got a blueberry pie and it was delicious so we ended up coming back the next day to try more pies. We picked up a strawberry rhubarb pie and it was REALLY good. It was easily the best pie I ever ate in my life, but that's just me comparing it to the costco and other processed pies that I grew up eating. These pies are expensive, $35 each and cash/venmo only but they are insanely good. The place is also pretty easy to miss as you basically turn into a discrete driveway surrounded by trees.

The owner was a very nice lady. I’m not the biggest pie eater so I was a little concerned at not being able to have a scoop of ice cream to help the pie go down, however no ice cream needed for this pie I even ate the crust. The pie was amazing we had the blueberry pie. Wish we could have tried the strawberry rhubarb pie as well.

Amazing blueberry and strawberry rhubarb pies. The crust was exceptional no lard, only butter. The owner knows she’ll always get five stars.

So happy to have found this place on our vacation, a must stop for pie! We got the wild blueberry and strawberry rhubarb, the crust is perfect and the filling is so tasty yet not overly sweet. Couldn’t choose a favorite between the two they were just the best pie’s I’ve ever had.
