Amazing place where we stopped for coffee in the morning and discovered free internet, nice ice cream, Acadia postcards, extremely hospitable hostess who didn't charge us for coffee because her card reading device stopped working and where agentleman was walking along the street presenting the passing by ladies with freshly cut flowers. What else do you need to feellike you are a part of a fairy tale?!

Great spot for candy and cool items. Their slush puppies are the best!

We were desperate for a good shot of espresso after a great non e-bike) bike ride through Acadia. After googling for a place and striking out in Northeast Harbor we saw the sign for McGrath 's and walked in... and saw on the menu affagato and new wehad landed in the right place. The gal who helped us was friendly and helpful. Lots of cute little things to stuff in asuitcase, though shelves were a little thin as it was the very end of the season when we were there. But my Affagato wasPerfecto!

Cute little store! Would have loved some gelato if it wasn't out of season. Coffee was good. I appreciated that stationery paper was available for purchase, even though I didn't need any.
