ABOUT THE BUSINESS
Good Food, Sweet Treats & a Warm Winter Harbor Welcome
There's something special about finding a little café where you can settle in for a good meal, enjoy a sweet treat, and watch the world go by.
In the heart of Winter Harbor, J.M. Gerrish Café & Ice Cream Parlour offers just that. With its inviting storefront, outdoor seating, and small-town atmosphere, it's a welcoming stop for locals and visitors exploring the Schoodic Peninsula.
A Café for Breakfast and Lunch
Whether you're starting your morning in Winter Harbor or taking a break from exploring the coast, J.M. Gerrish offers a comfortable place to enjoy a freshly prepared meal.
From satisfying sandwiches and casual lunch favorites to a bite before heading out for the day, the café brings together good food and the easygoing atmosphere of a Downeast Maine village.
On a sunny day, the outdoor seating area is especially inviting, with flower-filled planters and a view of village life along the street.
Something Sweet? You've Come to the Right Place.
Of course, there's more to J.M. Gerrish than breakfast and lunch.
The ice cream parlour adds a little sweetness to a day spent exploring Winter Harbor and Acadia National Park's Schoodic District.
It's the kind of place where stopping for a treat can become part of the day's adventure, whether you're celebrating a successful hike, cooling off after a bike ride, or simply indulging because you're on vacation.
The café also features specialty drinks, including colorful creations such as blueberry vanilla cream and strawberry vanilla cream dirty sodas.
Catering for Gatherings and Celebrations
J.M. Gerrish also offers catering, bringing its food beyond the café to local gatherings and special occasions.
Whether you're organizing a family celebration, community event, or another get-together, contact the team to discuss catering options, availability, and arrangements.
A Little Taste of Winter Harbor

J.M. Gerrish is one of those places. With its cheerful storefront, welcoming atmosphere, and combination of meals, drinks, and sweet treats, it's a natural stop while spending time in Winter Harbor.
Pull up a chair, enjoy something delicious, and make yourself at home for a while.
