7. Indigo Cafe
Reviewed By MaineGuy777
This is a relatively new place, which is open (until 2 pm) for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. I got there a little after 1:00 and had a good cup of coffee (for about $2) and a very good blueberry muffin ($2.80), which was crammed with blueberries! I ordered at the counter and, since most of the tables were taken, sat in a cushy sofa and placed my items on a glass table. I had already eaten lunch, but did see (for future reference) that there were panini sandwiches ($9.25 each), as well as several breakfast options ($5.25-$6.95).The place is clean and attractive, and the bathroom was a good one.I will be back!

I have come here for several years, mainly to have the "make your own salads," with your choice of greens, dressing, three ingredients added (for free), and extras (such as feta cheese). The price is reasonable, for all this, since the salads are large.I am pleased to report that the last salad I had (for about $12) was fine, without wet spinach being used (as happened once in the past). The one problem is that sometimes too much or too little dressing is used. There usually is adequate seating and free Wi-fi.And the coffee is pretty good.Produce can be quite expensive here in the grocery section. For example, avocados today were priced at $2.49 each (about double what they are in the local supermarket!).Service at the counter is efficient and friendly.Thanks for your continued patronage and support. We strive to provide the best locally sourced food and service and next time be sure to let our staff know how you like your salad. Happy to cater to your preferences on salad dressing or anything else to ensure you have a great experience. As a small market we canât always compete on price with the big box stores but we do try to support local farmers, producers and products. We hope to see you again soon!

Absolutely great! 2 breakfast dishes, 2 from the lunch menu. Out of 3 lobster rolls (at different spots) while in the midcoast this one was the best. The service is always spot on, what a great crew! Thank you Brass Compass!

We were pointed to the refrigerator case and assured they were made that day...wow. The daily lentil soup was too spicy and the building lacked any personality. Overall, there are better options and I wouldn't choose this again.I am sorry you did not enjoy our place. We worked very hard to satisfy our customers. As for the sandwiches. the Bread Crew is here until 3 AM baking our delicious breads every day year round, and our cook come at 5 and make all this wonderful sandwiches. Our daily left over are donated every day to the food pantry, churches as well as the Travis Mills Foundation and they have not been disappointed so far. The lacked of personality of our building must be because we are one of the oldest running business in Rockland. I hope Mr Anonymous855 that you will give us another try.

Stopped here for lunch after visiting the Farnsworth Museum. We had a short wait for a table, but the place is small and busy, and folks were coming in and giving their name and going out to wait. I had the Wee Meat Pies, an empanada made with brined and smoked pulled port with black beans and more. They were beyond tasty! My wife had the Honky Tonk egg rolls that need to be seen to be believed. They have house smoked chicken with cabbage, cilantro, basil and more. They are her go to favorite. So much, so good, from such a small space.

Reviewed By SchoonerFan
Home Kitchen is a SMALL place with incredible food and great service. They manage to accomodate loads of customers quickly while maintaining courtesy and good humor. I had the Chef's Salad (HUGE! almost couldn't finish it), and my husband had the Pastrami & Swiss sandwich, which he loved ("lean but juicy, perfectly prepared"). The homemade blue cheese dressing is to die for. Will definitely be back
