Awesome little place in Northeast Harbor. Ice cream, coffee, and a gift shop. Not many people come here because they're all in Bar Harbor. If you're looking for a quieter shopping experience, you should come here.

Amazing place where we stopped for coffee in the morning and discovered free internet, nice ice cream, Acadia postcards, extremely hospitable hostess who didn't charge us for coffee because her card-reading device stopped working and - where a gentleman was walking along the street presenting the passing by ladies with freshly cut flowers. What else do you need to feel like you are a part of a fairy tale?!

Cute little store! Would have loved some gelato if it wasn't out of season. Coffee was good. I appreciated that stationery paper was available for purchase, even though I didn't need any.

We were desperate for a good shot of espresso after a great ( non e-bike) bike ride through Acadia. After googling for a place and striking out in Northeast Harbor we saw the sign for McGrath's and walked in... and saw on the menu "affagato" and new we had landed in the right place. The gal who helped us was friendly and helpful. Lots of cute little things to stuff in a suitcase, though shelves were a little thin as it was the very end of the season when we were there. But my Affagato was Perfecto!

Fantastic quintessential Maine variety/book store with great coffee. Incomparably charming. Owner is an absolute gem. Amazing Maine topical books like the inspiring true story: Frankie’s Place: A Love Affair, a must read.

Book store, coffee shop, Maine souvenirs. Friendly service. It was the only place I could find my morning coffee in the quaint village of Northeast Harbor on Mt. Desert Island, Maine. Most places were closed because it was past peak season and because of Covid. We were there to visit Acadia National Park and were not disappointed. Beautiful.

I had a nice experience. Bought a delicious moca ice coffee, a small blueberry gelato, and a small chocolat/vanilla (cant remember the name) gelato. Met an extreamly friendly chocolate lab who wanted all the attention. I will deffinetly stop in the next time i visit the island.

The best gelato I've ever tried in this country. It is always a stop when I'm in Maine! I especially recommend the honey lavender flavor!

McGraths Variety is the place to go for the best coffee in town, candy, the daily paper, books, unique gifts and more. It is one of the few places is NEH open year round and Terry and Oscar the dog are both wonderful. In the summertime they also have PugNuts gelato and Slushpuppies for those hot days.
