Mount Desserts, Homemade Pies

Dining★ 4.9
Commercial kitchen in Acadia National Park with stainless steel refrigerators, a tall rack, and a large wooden prep table.

Mount Desserts in Bar Harbor serves deep-dish pies with a crust that cracks open to reveal juicy berries. Wild Maine Blueberry Pie uses a flaky, buttery crust and bold blueberry bite. Strawberry Rhubarb Pie balances tart and sugar with a crust that stays crisp. Mixed Berry Pie blends strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry into a bright, juicy finish.
