I tried the veggie pizza at the Common Ground Fair and it might just be my favorite pizza I’ve ever had! The crust was perfectly baked, the toppings were fresh and flavorful, and everything came together in such a satisfying way. It was definitely on the pricey side, but honestly, the taste and quality made it feel worth the splurge. A real standout food experience at the fair!

1,000,000/10 – the food is incredible. The sundae is a must. I got the vegan pizza and added cheese. Even the simple salad is delicious and a must. I really love visiting here. The setting is rustic and dogs are not allowed. I couldn’t recommend it more.

This is a very special homey place. The staff are sensitive lovely people (thank you!), the food is stunning and the atmosphere is magical. A memorable, cozy, dreamlike and warm environment. Pics taken at end of night on way out but, it was full of a very sweet vibe, families/ friends. And very reasonable prices.

I have come here several times this summer and last and wowwwwww! Incredible pastries, espresso, service, garden, VIBES. The service is always quick despite long lines. The pastries are always super fresh, my favorite is the chocolate croissant, but their seasonal blueberry and lemon croissant was also incredible. The espresso is so good, I love their cortado. Also the bread plate? So good! I love that this place is so close to home!

This most unique location serves up the best pizza I’ve had in any of my travels. Its in a beautiful setting with outdoor and indoor seating (in the barn), fire pit, gardens, ice cream hut, outdoor bar and oysters brought by local oyster companies. Reservations are made online for the week starting at 9am on Monday. People are serious.about making reservations here so make them Monday morning!

Who would have thought that the best pizza was made in Maine? Fresh (local) ingredients, the right crust thickness, and a taste that hits all the taste buds. Tinder Heart could be the best kept secret (and keep it this way… )immerse yourself in a place distant light years from your local pizzeria. Peaceful, easy living are at the top of the priorities here. A secretly place to spend an evening with your loved ones. Keep it a secret, though…

What an experience it is to visit this bakery/restaurant! I felt like I was walking into my grandma’s living room in the fall. The vintage couches, the exposed wooden beams, and the cast iron wood-stove in the middle of the eating area all made for a very comfortable and enjoyable environment. Especially with the cloudy, rainy weather we felt very cozy. They have ample outdoor seating for sunny days and they have a public restroom as well. The flavors in their egg sandwich were unique and delicious. The ham and cheese croissant was perfectly flaky and had a generously salty flavor. The lattes we got had adorable latte art and gave us the caffeine fix that we needed. Tinder Hearth has mastered the skill essential to every bakery: they KNOW how to make some delicious bread! Also, we are not from this area and didn’t realize how low on gas we were or how far we were from a gas station. Lucky for us, Tim was able to help us out and give us enough gas to make it to our next stop. The individuals that run this bakery feel like very honest, salt-of-the-earth people and it always feels good to meet people like that. Thanks for a good time Tinder Hearth!

I drove up from Bangor and it was worth the drive. Arrive a few minutes before 9am on a Friday and there was already a small line forming. I was about 5th in line and took about 10 minutes to get up front. Ordered an egg sandwich with bacon with a drip for here. Then a croissant, almond croissant and a chocolate chip cookie to go. It’s hard to find a good, flaky croissant in northern Maine and Tinder Hearth knows exactly what they’re doing. Service was great. They take card payments for anyone wondering. Definitely going to try to return for dinner if I can get my hands on a reservation.

It’s Tinder Hearth… Absolutely delicious. By far the best croissants and layered pastry I’ve ever eaten. Not to mention their breads!!
That said, it was hot with the wood burning stove and all the people … Really, too hot to be fully comfortable. Still, would certainly return, but would consider Togo and eating in the car if going in the winter on a busy day – it was just too hot inside.

It would be hard to overstate how lovely an evening at Tinder Hearth is. Sitting in their beautiful garden eating delicious pizza on a Maine evening is a treat. That is not to neglect the fabulous salad, the ice cream, oysters, or any of the other menu items. It’s something to look forward to if you are Down East and can get a reservation.
