Overview

About This Establishment

J.M. Gerrish Cafe in Winter Harbor is a cozy, time-warp stop on the edge of Acadia. The clam chowder is creamy and brimming with briny depth; the lobster roll sits on a fresh bun with tender meat in every bite. The blueberry pie tastes homemade, crust flaky and berry-forward. Counter service keeps the flow steady and the value is solid for the price.
