2 Cats
Categories: Coffee & Tea, Breakfast & Brunch
I descended on this place with nine friends visiting from college. We didn't get so much as an eye roll. Rather the hostess was pleasant and they pulled together some tables for us on the deck.
2 Cats has good food and unlike some more popular brunch establishments, you won't feel bad 1) spending less than $5 or 2) lingering.
Sure, you can get lobster eggs benedict but you can also have pastry and coffee in a cool atmosphere. Bonus for actually having cats milling around and the outdoor seating option.

Pancho Villa's Tex-Mex Restaurant
Category: Tex-Mex
The margaritas at this place are fantastic. The fourth stop on my margarita crawl, it's a bit of a walk from Main Street but after visiting the previous establishments, I doubt you'll feel it much.
The place is cheerily decorated and the people who run it are fantastic.
Have the nachos and definitely a margarita. And feel free to linger here, at the bar or at your table, since it's away from the Bar Harbor bustle but still close enough to walk back to where you are staying in town. (Full disclosure, it is two blocks from my apartment so I may be giving it some additional points for being in a great location for me!)

This is the third stop on my Bar Harbor Margarita Crawl because, after two margaritas at the other places, this margarita will be less of a disappointment. It's strongish but not fantastic.
The terrace is the biggest and has the best view of passing tourists. The hostesses are kind of snobby, perhaps to give it the allure of cool or perhaps they are used to dealing with rude tourists.
The place gets a few points for allowing you to have your dog there (at least, I've seen a couple dogs there but haven't brought mine).

Great place to have appetizers and lounge on the outdoor deck, or inside for that matter. The fried ice cream is fantastic and always seems like a good late night idea.
I haven't had their food here but with a pitcher of margaritas, you can't go wrong. Outdoor terrace lacks a little in ambiance but their margaritas may be the best in town. They even use a secret recipe... though I think one of their secret ingredients may be orange juice.
I have now breakfasted and lunched at Colonel's Deli in Northeast Harbor.
On the suggestion of my friend Nick, I tried their donuts. And I don't even like donuts. Between this place and Pectic Seafood, I am now an official homemade donut fan. For lunch (not the same day), I had mussels steamed in something excellent.
Even though in Northeast Harbor, the price is certainly affordable and the ambiance is relaxed and makes you want to linger. I'll be back.

Whenever I have a friend coming to visit, I pick up breakfast carbohydrates at Morning Glory. They bake better than I ever could and their prices are reasonable.
Also the establishment gets huge props for 1) having cool people work there (full disclosure: a few of my friends either work there or have worked there) and 2) making you turn off your cell phone when you are in there. We need more cell free zones in the world and, if accompanied with pastry, even better.

These biscuits are my dog's favorite. Also Renee and Chris, the owners of this company, are thoughtful and environmentally responsible. Buy from Barkwheats; I know you will be impressed.

It gets points for having a nice lady who works there that helped me with a malfunctioning machine once but this place is a little steep for what it provides in my opinion.
