Scapes Cafe

“ What a fabulous gem in Mt Vernon! Service was excellent and the food exceptional! I had the homemade hash and eggs Coffee was actually delicious too ! Will definitely be back - the drive there was breathtaking as well ”

“ Visiting a friend who recently moved to the area. He suggested Scapes Cafe for lunch because he heard from others it was good. No, it was great! Nice menu and a handful of specials. Loved sitting on the porch with a nice view of the water and mill next door. Service was fast and very friendly. Check out the pastries for dessert or Carryout. Wished I lived here because I would become a regular customer. ”

“ My wife and I enjoyed a delicious lunch on the lawn next to the water. My steak sandwich on an everything bagel was perfect and the slaw was unique and flavorful. Counter service is always friendly and prompt. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather and secured a comfortable seat by the water. We'll definitely return to Scapes Cafe. ”

“ The ambiance is cute, it definitely nails the small-town cafe vibe. Which makes sense, as that's what it is. Instead of resting on their laurels and offering bland staples, the menu is interesting and unique, yet still comfortably familiar. My turkey club had a rosemary mayo which was amazing! Portions were big enough that two could share, but I was a big pig and gobbled up mine. My wife's Reuben was reportedly also delicious. ”

“ Lovely lakeside café, an unexpected find. Warm service, excellent pastries and coffee, and nice vibes and aesthetics make this a winner for locals and those of us who are visiting Central Maine's beautiful lakes. The savory scones were my favorite, with the bacon, cheddar, and jalapeño the best! ”

“ The new owners done an amazing job decorating and the food selections are so good. You have all the fresh baked goodies as well as a full cafe menu including daily quiches, soups and what seems to be all freshly sourced ingredients. The coconut soup was very good, the special was a salmon BLT which my husband said was very good. A gem of a place. ”

“ Such a beautiful place! Loved the location and the food was great! They had daily specials, fresh baked goods as well as their menu. Lots of seating inside and I think there was some outside? (I visited in March) Very clean and well decorated. You can't go wrong with the breakfast sandwich but I purchased their bacon and onion scone and it was AMAZING! ”

“ This is probably the first non Diet Coke place ever that I have become a regular. I can't express how grateful I am to this little gem for coming to Mount Vernon- this is the only eating establishment in the town and how lucky are we that it has the best breakfast burrito I have ever had?!?! I've already thought about what a lifeline this will be to the community in the depths of winter because yes, it's open year round!!! The service is wonderful and usually quick. It's counter service, though they bring your plate to you. I am not a coffee person but my partner absolutely loves their Speckled Ax coffee. You can buy frozen meals, soups, and a robust amount of bakery dishes. The savory scones are always amazing and unique. I am trying to order something different each time but it's really hard for me to pass on the breakfast burrito and Cuban sandwich (with homemade zuchinni pickles!). We also recently discovered they make their own hot sauces, in a cabinet near the water spigot. Ambiance is warm and welcoming (Dan says you can also taste the love in their cooking) and when departing I always feel like I'm part of the community. People on job sites stop in for work, and then lots of community regulars. Parking isn't the easiest but since there's no other businesses downtown besides the post office, it's not hard. I love this place. I'm so grateful it's part of my home. ”

“ Such a gem delicious food that tastes so fresh! Love the innovative menu! Pictured is a fall special but everything we ordered was phenomenal. To name some favorites: the turkey club, Cuban, and the cheddar red pepper loaf yum! Delicious coffee with pick your own mug always a cute touch. And do not forget to take home goodies too! The chicken pot pie is amazing, so much chicken a great hearty meal. I can't wait to go back. ”

“ This hidden gem is worth the drive for breakfast, lunch, or stocking up bakery items. There was a short list of nice breakfasts as simple as bacon and eggs or yoghurt, to a wonderful BLT with egg sandwich and the best corned beef hash I have ever had (and I have had a lot). We took a sausage, ham and onion quiche home with us and it was so rich and the crust was wonderful. Their cookies and brownies and pastries looked terrific and there was a big variety. There was also a good selection of sandwiches for lunch. The seating was very clean in a cute atmosphere looking over the lake, and there was a porch and seating outside too. Coffee and water are serve yourself as are all the condiments. The staff were delightful! What a wonderful place. ”
