Some of the most fantastic gems in Maine can be found in places off-the-beaten-path. Sticking to the coast is fine, but venture further inland and you’ll find an entire state beyond what you might imagine. We especially love the smaller restaurants, cafes, and shops that offer a touch of home cooking or handcrafted gifts. This spot in Somerset County is a perfect example, and it might just be the best cafe in central Maine.

PopOnOvers Cafe in Pittsfield is the kind of place you hope exists off-the-beaten-path. And when it does, you’re thrilled!

Spending some time here slowly enjoying the day is great, but it’s the food we love most! Everything is made fresh daily, using as many local ingredients as possible.

As the name suggests, popovers are a specialty. And they’re used in a variety of dishes. From sweet to savory, the popovers they make can be found all over.
