A Slice of Eden Bakery & Cafe: Bagels, Sandwiches, Maine Blueberry

Signboard for a bakery in Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Maine, with festive purple lanterns nearby.

A Slice of Eden pulses with the aroma of coffee and warm bagels. The bagel sandwich with scallion-cream cheese delivers a crisp edge, a chewy crumb, and a bright tang from the cream cheese. Vegan baked goods stay moist and flavorful, from lemony bars to chocolate donuts, while the blueberry crumble pie nods to Maine’s famous berries. It’s a cozy Bar Harbor counter cafe—relaxed, kid-friendly, and perfectly placed for a quick park-day bite.
