Pancake Factory

Bar Harbor’s newest breakfast spot, est. 2026

Breakfast on the balcony over Main Street.

Buttermilk pancakes with the mix-ins baked in, barista espresso, and a second-floor deck above the Village Green.

“The upstairs balcony is the highlight of this place. Having a breakfast there was really enjoyable... a nice spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere.”

Baked into the batter, not sprinkled on top.

Blueberries, peanut butter chips, banana, chocolate chips, kadaifi, even the ham, bacon and sausage of the Meat Lover: the mix-ins here go into the buttermilk batter itself.

Gluten-free pancakes can be substituted for $2.50 to $3.

“Huge variety of pancakes. The serving size is large, so they could easily be shared between two people. They also have a gluten free option. The espresso beverages are delicious.”
