On our recent trip to Maine, we stopped in Camden. I love Camden. I know, I know, there are locals who think it is too sweet or too expensive, but it is one beautiful little New England town.
It has a lovely harbor, sidewalk art available, waterfalls for viewing, and shops up and down the main streets.
As we walked around town, we found the doors to Cappy’s Bakery wide open. How could we not go in? 🙂
Cappy’s Bakery is part of and around the corner from Cappy’s Chowder House on Main Street.
When we entered, there were sweet delicacies of every type, and they all looked delicious. We enjoyed some wonderful muffins and delicious cappuccinos outside on their little patio so we could see and hear the waterfall.
It was so good, we went back a couple of days later for another breakfast and got a bag of sweets to go on the way home.
What can I say, it was definitely one of the sweetest doors I’ve ever entered.
If you’re ever in Camden, stop and enjoy because where else but in a cute Maine town like Camden would you find a cute dog of this proportion willing to pose to photographs while waiting for his owner to finish breakfast. 🙂

I’m thinking of a trip to Maine soon–I think I need to add Camden to the list!

If you were only going to be able to see one town in Maine, I’d suggest Camden to get a feel of what Maine has to offer. 🙂

Oh, Judy. This is so not fair. It’s early and these sweets are making me so hungry 🙂 – Beautiful doors, photos, town and the dog is precious. Great choice for this post but you’re responsible for any weight-gain today.

I just walked over to Dunkin Donuts. I’m telling myself that the walk cancels out the calories but I’m not going to do the math.

You’re right. Camden is too sweet and too expensive. But it is also beautiful. Love the dog picture.

There were at least four of us women standing there taking photos of that wonderful dog. He was so patient and just looked like he was use to posing. 🙂

Oh what a lovely trip down memory lane. Years ago Hub and I stayed at the MOST fabulous B&B ever – Inn at Sunrise Point – outside Camden and not only did we love Main Street, but walking the lovely residential neighborhoods. My favorite though was their Thomas Jefferson-inspired library. Just beautuful in its coastal setting.
I laughed out loud at your dog photo – such a whimsey and hus expression is priceless. I’ve been looking for some doors on odd vehicles. This fills the bill.

Okay, next visit I need to check out the library.:-) That dog made my day.

I love the whole thing and am now jealous. I’m eating pbj on toast with milk on my stupid front porch with my dog tethered nearby (to keep her from running off to eat squirrels.) I, too, can hear a waterfall. If by waterfall, you mean the interstate. What a lovely, envy-inspiring post! 🙂

LOL ‘Your’ waterfall reminded me of two years way back when we lived in St. Louis and they built a new runway and all of a sudden we were in a flight path. OMG you sure didn’t leave your windows open any time of the year.

There’s nothing more charming than New England – in any season! I am enchanted by this open door, but puzzled over the clever oar sign that says “closed.” With all the wonderful things going on inside, no wonder flipping it over isn’t a priority!

We’re heading up to one of my favorite places, Mt. Desert Island, this autumn. It will certainly involve a stop in Camden. Spent time there in the 70’s (gasp) when more eccentric types could afford to live there.

If it is still considered tourist season, the bakery should be open. 🙂 We haven’t been to Mr. Desert Island so I’m off to google and see how far it is. Gasp – I remember the 70’s. 🙂
