Tucked out of sight behind town, The Boulangerie offers good coffee , fresh baked pastries, quiche and breads. There's a lovely front patio with a Parisian atmosphere where you can enjoy your almond croissant.

Great lobster roll food truck about 1 min away from us. Skip the tourist lines in Kennebunkport! Drive down Route 1 toward Kennebunk, and at the first light, you'll see a red vintage food truck on the right-hand side. The lobster rolls are generous and light on the mayo. The fried clams and scallops are delicious too.

If you are really just interested in great coffee (and not a lot of breakfast stuff), The Blue is your best bet. Killer lattes! Our fave for coffee.

Upscale, bistro dining only a few minutes down Route 1 (downtown Kennebunkport). The portions are relatively small, but delicious and locally-sourced. There's a full bar and the space has a funky, hip atmosphere.

Great place to spend a rainy afternoon... tasty Gastro-pub cuisine, full bar, lounge-style bowling. It's got a sort of urban, hipster vibe inside. Not your average bowling alley!

This is the address of the "Spirit of Massachusetts Restaurant" which actually a docked boat (down by Federal Jack's in the tourist hub). It's a lot of fun to hop aboard and enjoy a glass of wine and a couple small plates. Go early as it can get crowded later in the eve!
It's seasonal, so double-check that it's open and/or doesn't have a private party happening:

Yes, Pedro's can get crowded, and it's touristy. But, the atmosphere and decorations are fun, and they make a dang good margarita! It's right next to Old Vines and close enough to Batson River Brewery (if you prefer beer) so you can make a whole evening out of it.

Quirky, fun hole-in the wall bar right on the docks. Warm and welcoming & full of eccentric memorabilia. We love this place. Go early though... it's small and can get crowded.

Beautiful (restored barn) music venue right around the corner. Check who's playing in case you can catch a show while you're in town.

Happening wine bar right near the action of Kennebunkport. There's a nice large patio outside with lots of outdoor seating, and often live music in the evenings. The wine selection is on the pricier side, but the atmosphere makes it worth it for a drink or 2. They also serve cheese platters, snacks and small plates that are good for sharing.

Brand new this year, Batson River is a fun place to taste some local craft beer. It's pricey, but has a cool "English hunter/horse rider pub" feel, but with a modern aesthetic. It's a 2-level venue with a lounge upstairs and a few games. It's a fun place to sink into for a couple hours and relax.
