When you think of Maine food, what comes to mind? We’re going to go ahead and guess it was something seafood-related! With Maine’s lobster and other locally-sourced fish, it’s not surprising that most people consider Maine to be best for seafood. But, we do some other things pretty darn well also! One example? Blueberries! And, our favorite way to eat a blueberry is as breakfast! Read on for the best blueberry pancakes (Food Network agrees!) you’ll find anywhere in the world!
First, we start with the Maine Wild Blueberry…

Did you know that Maine is the the largest supplier of America’s low-bush blueberries? Why does this matter? Because these little beauties are far better tasting than the ones that are grown to be sold!
Second, take yourself to Crissy’s Breakfast & Coffee Bar in Damariscotta.

And, as if the inside wasn’t already perfect, these blueberry pancakes are served with organic maple syrup from the Strawberry Hill Farm in Skowhegan on the side.

While we recommend Crissy’s for the most amazing blueberry pancakes, there’s plenty for everyone here.

If you prefer things less on the sweet side for breakfast, you’ll love the “Uptown Eggs” with Hollandaise sauce.

Or the other healthy egg options on the menu.

And, if you just haven’t had enough, stick around for lunch and order something like the Havarti, Bacon, Tomato and Avocado Grilled Cheese special!

A trip to Crissy’s means some seriously special food, but we have to give at least half of the praise to Maine’s own wild blueberries!
