Goldfinch Creamery Cafe and bakery 316 Water Street 316&318, Gardiner, ME 04345

"Was loving breakfast sandwich! I asked for my egg to have a runny yoke. It was cooked perfectly! Then I took a bite out of this pecan braid!! SOOOO GOOD!! Perfectly buttery and flaky pastry with a mouthwatering glaze and pecans that are the right amount of crispy! This is not our first trip. We go here regularly, and love the quality, prices, and service that we receive EVERY visit!"

"Per recommendation of a friend we decided to check out this place today! The pastry case itself was small and a little scarce likely due to it being 4:30. The menu was sweet and simple. 4/5 due to the fact that as soon as we walked in it was awkward. It was relatively quiet and the employee didn't say anything and just glanced at us when we walked in. The entire time we were in trying to decide what to get the employees didn't make any effort to be friendly, offer assistance, or converse. Given the cute, whimsical decor and vibe the shop itself intends to portray, the engagement of the employees was utterly misplaced. Despite this fact though, the pastry and ice cream we got was good. The Mocha Muffin was something I had not tried anything like before, texture was light but still thick and moist, slight coffee and chocolate undertones. I also had the Brownie Sundae. The brownie was good, just a basic good brownie, with your standard sundae toppings. A cute tasty stop if you're in the area."

"Phenomenal food! The Tuscan Bean soup was to die for! Girlfriend had the broccoli cheddar soup and it was so creamy and delicious. The desserts we tried were the perfect balance of taste and texture. I brought home a cinnamon roll and I swear, it was the best I've ever had. Atmosphere is very comfortable and intimate, also EXTREMELY LGBTQ+ friendly. We will definitely be returning."

"This little Goldfinch creamery in downtown Historic Gardiner packs a punch on deliciousness! The owner was absolutely amazing as well as her staff. The Affogato was like sitting in a Sicilian cafe with a cool breeze. They have tables inside or a little area outside to relax and enjoy your treats. Check out their menu on their website or FB page. If your in Gardiner give them a try... they won't disappoint. They are right next to the US Post office downtown. Enjoy!"

"This charming tea house vibe will bring me back again. Tons of character in the atmosphere and very tasty selections. I had the chicken salad sandwich on a croissant with adffogato (espresso with ice cream)"
