How about the best blueberry desserts in southern Maine?

Question

like near York, Ogunquit, Kennebunkport, etc? Thanks!

Answer

Southern Maine, particularly around York, Ogunquit, and Kennebunkport, is known for its blueberry farms and fresh baked goods, so finding delicious blueberry desserts is quite easy. Many local bakeries and restaurants feature seasonal blueberry pies, tarts, and other sweet treats.

Here are some top places to consider:

Wild Oats Bakery & Café (Kennebunkport): Known for homemade pastries, they often feature fresh blueberry muffins, scones, and pies made with local blueberries.
Ogunquit Baking Company (Ogunquit): Offers blueberry danishes, muffins, and seasonal tarts. Their desserts are crafted with fresh, locally-sourced berries.
Front Porch Bakery (York): Famous for pies, they have a classic Maine blueberry pie and sometimes blueberry crisp during the summer season.
Blueberry Hill Farm (near York): If you’re up for a short drive, this farm sells homemade blueberry pies, jams, and sometimes fresh-picked berries during the season.

Additional tips:

Summer months (July–August) are peak blueberry season, so desserts are freshest and most abundant during this time.
Check local farmer’s markets in Ogunquit or Kennebunkport; many vendors sell homemade blueberry desserts that rival bakery offerings.
Some restaurants also feature blueberry desserts on their dessert menu, such as blueberry cheesecake or blueberry crisp, so asking for daily specials is worth it.

If you want a true Maine experience, try pairing a fresh blueberry pie or tart with local whipped cream or ice cream—it’s a classic combination!
