Overview

About This Establishment

Milk and Honey Kitchen sits in Northeast Harbor as a cafe and sandwich shop with indoor and outdoor seating. The egg salad sandwich with dilly beans and pickled shallots is the standout, delivering a creamy core with briny crunch and tang from the shallots. The biscuit breakfast sandwich and bánh mì—roasted local tofu or pork meatloaf—round out a lineup built on made-to-order items. It’s a charming, casual retreat after a hike, but be prepared for possible waits at peak times.
