Mother's Kitchen - Bar Harbor

Mother's Kitchen is a favorite of my older sister and I had the pleasure to experience their delicious sandwiches on two separate occasions this week. During my first visit we ordered the Quincy, a sandwich with fresh mozzarella, basil, tomatoes, green, olives and vinaiigrette on Focaccia. The sandwich was light, refreshing and delicious. This has rated 4 4.5. We also ordered a homemade lemonade. They advised that they tart it, but noticed that they have a pitcher of simple syrup in the refrigerator, so you can taste. They were right, it was pretty tart and I poured an ounce (or more simple syrup into them before the **** face left. Very refreshing and pleasant, this rated 3.5 4. On the next occasion we enjoyed the summer kitchen, filled with smoked turkey, bacon, avocado, tomatoes and creamy dill sauce on sourdough. This was beautiful and rated a 4. We also ordered a cold kitchen smoked turkey, bacon, cranberry sauce, stew, salad and mayonnaise on sourdough. This was met with mixed reviews. My niece loved this sandwich, singing the filling and cranberry sauce (more like a Chutney as highlights. My other sister liked the sandwich for the same reasons by making the stuffing taste too strong (Sage? and the cranberry sauce was too wet. I personally was less a fan of this sandwich compared to the Summer Kitchen, but it was still very good. This corresponds to a 3.5 4. I recommend Mother's Kitchen for a wonderful homemade sandwich or salad. Mother's Kitchen is very busy when the weather is nice and everyone is looking to grab a picnic for the beach, but don't despair how you can call beforehand to place your order for pickup. Tap when you are in a hurry, the prepacked tabouleh salad gets high notes.

My husband and I got married to MDI on 7/15 and were looking for a place for lunch for our big wedding party in the morning of our wedding. All we mentioned here (including competitors of mother's kitchen! said mother was the best sandwich shop on the island. Wonderful to remember on two days, Tasha and her team agreed to make 32 sandwiches and two big salads for us! The ordering process was super fast and easy, and Tasha assured us that she would contact us on Facebook (super responsive if something appeared. On the day, our bridesmaids and groom couldn't stop talking how incredible the sandwiches were. All that hadn't been eaten at noon was shown on the after party a few hours later. We are very grateful that some locals have tipped us on Mother's kitchen and could not recommend it anymore!!! Thank you. Tasha! Paula and Chris

At first I was a little nervous that we found an old woman in a dirty kitchen and then we came in. The ambience is so comfortable and covered and the food (we had breakfast sandwiches, blueberries and coffee) was so fresh and delicious. You can see into the entire (very clean) kitchen and watch how they make your food. In any case it is worth stopping, you will not regret it!

Great sandwiches and chocolate chip cookies. Quick service.

Great sandwiches, can 't wait 'til opening day this Spring. Try the Grandpa Jack!
