From the road, you’d never guess what’s inside this very plain building in Lincolnville Beach, near the Islesboro ferry.

Even the sign doesn’t give you a clear idea, other than you can pick up a cup of coffee and something to eat.

So you’re in for a wonderful surprise!

Dot’s Market is a fabulous new foodie resource in Midcoast Maine. It’s named in honor of the grandmother of the owner, Melissa Carr. And they both appear to like the iconic retro candy.

Melissa’s mother, just happens to be the very talented woman who pioneered the well-loved Market Basket in Rockport on Route One and 90.

Dot’s is packed with personality and great food. Plus a very nice selection of beer and wine.

There’s plenty of parking in front, and lots of room inside for the lines that will ultimately form this summer. So go now!

And refresh your pantry.

Or pick up fresh ingredients for a tasty picnic on Islesboro, or to complete that recipe you found in an old Gourmet magazine, or just join your friends for a fun lunch.

But watch out, you’ll be tempted by all the goodies sprinkled across the huge front counter.

And take your time perusing before you place your order. You don’t want to miss anything.

Dot’s Market – 2457 Atlantic Highway, Lincolnville, ME 04849, (just before, or after, the turn to the Islesboro Ferry) 207-706-7922
