  • We really love learning the origin stories and inspiration behind the plates and pours of our artisan food friends!
.
Taylor is a native Maine gal who honed her culinary skills while studying tourism and hospitality management abroad in Australia.
.
After she graduated from @endicottcollege she came back home to Maine and dabbled in food truck ownership serving homemade hand pies with flavors ranging from buffalo chicken and cheddar bacon ranch to the always popular filling, lobster!
.
She transitioned from there to become a part of the @baristasandbites family where her culinary passion and flare for flavor earned her the position as the head baker.
.
Her hand pie recipes are being brought back into circulation at B+B and today we tried her curried chicken and Greek style. So. Damn. Good.
.
Make sure you pop in soon and try them too! Thanks Taylor for taking time to dish about food with us and always being an amazing hostess to our guests!

  • With every bite we share the stories of tastemakers and how they got their start!
.
Today our guests noshed on a @baristasandbites trademarked sconewich.
.
The bacon, cheddar and chive scone is created in house. It’s served as a breakfast sandwich with a local farm fresh egg, arugula, roasted tomato and a sriracha sour cream for a little kick.
.
A quick version of their origin story is that they began as the Love Cupcakes food cart. Next it transitioned to a food truck. The 1st brick and mortar was a petite counter space on the 2nd floor of the Public Market - a wonderful hub of culinary artisan talent. Their last move brought them to Fore Street, next door to Dean’s Sweets, where Barista + Bites, which is the savory side of the business, was added. All this in FIVE YEARS!
.
Join us for a Culinary Walking Tour to learn more as you TASTE your way through town!

  • Piping hot, house-recipe falafel with tzatziki from @onesixgreencoffee and a [not pictured ☕️] “piccolo” made with @seacoastcoffeeme and...goats milk! A super savory and tasty combo.
.
Haven’t tried goats milk in your caffeinated beverages before? We raised our eyebrows a bit before trying it, but we are converts!
.
Not a single guest has (yet) been able to place the flavor profile on their own. One guest when informed that the one six green piccolo ingredient was goats milk said “you just made a hypocrite out of me. I don’t even like goat cheese and this IS delicious!”

  • While we like to think of ourselves as culinary ambassadors for our state, we also believe strongly in offering a well balanced diet of history for our guests to enjoy while on tour.
.
To that end several MFT guides are currently expanding their knowledge and earning their PHD’s (Portland History Docent degree) with the experts @mainehistory! .
Today one of the site visits was to @smalltrains.
.
If you’re ever looking for a way to get more involved in your community, going through the docent program and volunteering at one of our local landmarks is SO worth your time!
.
We can’t wait to graduate!
