Any cooking enthusiast will find something to love in this beautiful shop!! So much inspiration in every aisle of this two story beauty!

No stranger to this place! Love this store, but had to give only three stars as its surely not for ordinary folk on a budget for sure ! I wanted to buy a LOT, LOL ! My fiance wasnt impressed with the prices, though I explained to him its like shopping for any hobby .....its always way too expensive, but you absolutely know youre investing in good quality items and if youre not happy theyll let you return the item usually . So if you love to cook and need for example a new fry pan you best be saving your pennies ! OUCH !!!! 😒It would be nice to see a clearance and / or sale isle or two for those going through some harder times these days ... we like to cook etc. Too !!The only other thing I pick up on every time Ive come in, is when I have a question . I know theyre all busy, but for some reason theres a sense of snobbery with the ladies working behind the register and they can sound a bit gruff / impatient at times which makes me and any other customer very uncomfortable . So hope that changes as I try not to interrupt when other customers are being tended to and I sometimes have felt their idle chit chat amongst themselves is more important than the customer standing there waiting to be acknowledged, as Ive also observed .On the whole, its a beautiful store, always has been since shopping there throughput the years when I use to live in Ellsworth . But living so far now, it was rather disappointing not getting what wed set out to get because prices were so high .

Pricey, very good quality,, somewhat predictable merchandise. Staff irregularly helpful. Third floor well worth a visit, loaded with interesting and good quality kitchen/home items on sale.

There is a wide selection of items here with a great variety. Don’t forget to go downstairs …. Coffee, tea and other munchies…

Great shop! Lower level has more food items and upper level is jam packed with all sorts of cooking and baking and culinary related items. Well organized but you could spend a good deal of time looking at it all. Loved the oatmeal and cranberry cookies! Now that I am home, I am craving them! Parking is just left of the building and drops to another lot below and behind that. It can be easy to miss the entrance as it is near a traffic light and crossing over can be dangerous given the slight curve in the road and oncoming traffic may be difficult to see. Parking can also be tricky if it is a busy day and manueving with incoming and outgoing traffic in the small upper level parking.

Wide array of European treats and all the kitchenware and fine coffee (and brewing equipment).

Nice store, loved the smell of coffee downstairs. Lots of kitchen gadgets for everyone.

Amazing variety of kitchen necessities and specialty/gourmet item.

Beautiful store. Lots of things

Great cooking tools, books and coffee.Always come here when in Maine.

Absolutely wonderful selection of quality kitchen goods for the cook in your home. Very friendly staff. I loved the linen selection. This will be my new go to for such items as I prefer to support a local business over a corporate conglomerate. They have a very organized Covid-19 protocol to keep everyone safe. Cannot wait to visit again!

Best place to buy kitchenware. I never leave empty handed. During the warmer months there is a discount and closeout section on the upper floor of the building. The only carry the highest quality products. Everything Ive bought has lasted at least 7 to 10 years or more.

Rooster Brother is one of my favorite places on the planet. Great coffee, great deli, amazing treats and imported foods and dont even get me started on the cooking supplies. And of course, the folks working here are so lovely and kind. Whenever I get a little break from being a mom on a Saturday, I go to Rooster Brother for a brioche sandwich, cappuccino and as much chocolate as I can fit into the basket. I love this place!

What can you say about RB? Its amazing!

I think you have a lovely store, but I think it is ludicrous that you do not take cash or a check because these have to be handled. Yet you take the merchandise from the person to get the price, then further handle it by putting it in the bag and then handing the person the receipt. I saw a woman sneeze, she pulled her mask down, sneezed again all over a cookbook that she was going to purchase then go up to the register and hand it over to your staff to ring in and then they put it in a bag and handed her a receipt. You have lost a customer in me as I had cash and checks with me, I had left my debit card in my other jacket pocket, and I was prepared to buy a new skillet and linens for my table and some spring items. Seriously? Your behavior is what is wrong - and that older woman behind the register acted like everyone had the plague so not only was it a waste of people’s time going in there, Yor staff were condescending as well. Good luck! I will be telling all my friends not to shop with you. It’s a shame but you aren’t thinking at all of your customers.

Lots of help find some odds and ends to fill out a summer kitchen.

Love wandering through the store and everything in the Cafe is always delicious. The stream and picnic area is a great spot to relax and enjoy a coffee. Come early if youre looking for fresh grab n go. They sell out quickly sometimes.

Coffee cake + fresh cappuccino = heaven

Wonderful place for the person who likes to cook (and eat!)

Great store for kitchen gear.

Great customer service. The cashier helped me find exactly what I was looking for.

All kinds of kitchen gadgetry. Excellent selection of wines, gourmet & mixology items deli & coffees!When in Ellsworth, Rooster Brothers calls to me!

Great sandwiches and picnic tables at which to eat, weather permitting.

Simply one of the best kitchen stores that youll ever find.

Coffee was good... but really a store for cookware...

If I could rate the coffee only, Id give it 6 stars. The coffee is excellent - several varieties that I tried were excellent. Fresh brewed, great flavor. (And yes I drink it black.)The store is nice, some of the stuff is a bit overpriced. The upstairs area is mostly knick-knacks that you can get at similar Maine/BH area gift shops.Downstairs has some nice (although small) selections of wines, cheeses and breads. Staff is friendly, but very busy.COVID-19 update - While the store sign asks for facemasks, the store itself is very tight (no way to socially distance) and they do not limit the number of people they allow in.

Fresh roasted coffee on the premises. Amazing aroma. Upstairs has the best kitchen supplies available. I purchased a pasta press. The staff is very helpful.

Wonderful store for cooks and foodies of all aspirations

My first time visiting here. The description of their specials is mouth watering and I keep meaning to try them. I wanted to try the Mediterranean sandwich, but I went on a day that was turkey. However, the turkey that they used was so melt in your mouth moist. It was very good!

My go to for thoughtfully sourced delicacies from around the world...great wine and tea selection, local meats, fantastic selection of cheeses and fresh baguettes. The 3rd floor has great sales on their good quality kitchen ware too.

Wonderful, expansive kitchen store. Everything you could possibly want from freshly roasted and brewed coffee to high end small appliances. Dont forget to go to the top floor. Some great bargains can be found up there.

Do you like cooking? Do you like cooking gadgets? This is the place for you. All things food and cooking abound here. Definitely worth a stop if travelling through Ellsworth on your summer vacation.

Overwhelmed! Nice shop. Tons of cooking/baking items. Pretty much anything a cook could need. So many things, though, that its pretty narrow and very visually busy. I was not looking for anything particular, so ended out wandering aimlessly. Went downstairs for coffee and a cookie before we left. They also offer light lunch items and have a little wine and deli area. Baked goods were very good. Coffee was very strong. (I like a milder blend, so went for the medium--rather than the bold or dark roast--but still found it VERY strong.) Great if you like strong coffee. Nice little picnic tables near the river, so a sweet place to have your coffee and sweet treat.

I was very disappointing with the knowledge the staff had about the produces they sell .they roast there own coffee for palace that is to tided to there coffee the staff know nothing about1: the espresso machines they use or sell when asked how much grams of coffee there portafilter holds they don t know and cant find the answer ..even the person making the coffee dos not know what espresso machine be hind the counter they just know to push button make coffee :they sell a lot of tea but they no nothing about the tea they sell .. and your espresso coffee is dark and burnt .. if I am going to have an sell coffee and roast it I would think I would have staff that knows about the product they are selling .

Found this place amazing.

Good gawds...I dont even cook and I can rarely walk out of here thinking that I shouldnt come back with a truck and a bigger budget. Downstairs is filled with fine foods, upstairs is filled with any and every decent kitchen gadget you might need for cooking everything from ants to zebras! No exotic animal meats are available here, just the means to prepare them...

Fabulous!!!!!! This is a store that one typically finds in a large sophisticated city! How great to have it here! Wide interesting selections from gourmet treats to unique kitchen gadgets....dont miss freshly made french baguettes and sandwiches, exotic cheeses, imported items....even duck!!! I love this place!!!

Rooster Brothers is great. Amazing selection of real quality cooking and kitchen wares. Fantastic exotic coffees they roast there and a nice selection of high quality foods and treats.

Always smells like fresh coffee. So many options for coffee, meats, cheeses. The brioches are warm, sweet, and flaky. Always a nice visit to grab some coffee. The people are amazing and actually talk to you. Upstairs has a lot of cooking utensils and other cool things.

Always a pleasure to visit this store. A chefs dream store. The cappuccino was the best I ever had. The people who work there are so sweet and amazing. A must stop shop on our annual pilgrimage to Maine.

I love going to Roosters! I recently went and got a deal on a cpl things! I bought a Staub 4qt originally $407.00, for $149.95! I also got a Le Creuset cast iron pan 10.25in originally $243.00, for $99.95! They have some great deals where you can get actual good kitchen wares without breaking your budget! I also want to add that their coffee is awesome! If you cant drink super bitter coffee like myself (yet!) I would recommend the mocha to sip on as you are browsing the store!

You can find almost any cook ware you need, customer service is very courteous a bv d helpful.

Well stocked, friendly local business.

Great place for foodies and cooks! Prices are a little high tho which caused it to not get 5 stars. 70+ dollars for a toaster oven is a little much. Excellent coffee and deli downstairs.

Love, love, love this place! A kitchen paradise.

Very good store and some nice products. I got my paella here and it was priced the same amount as on Amazon. Very good prices and many different items. Will definitely shop here again.

Plenty of items to fill your every job in the kitchen.

Stopped by for my first visit while returning home south from Bar Harbor.What a wonderful place, wish there was one in Virginia. I will return for another visit anytime that I am in the area. Excellent products and selection. Nice selection of wine and gourmet items. I highly recommend. The folks there were both helpful and friendly.

I visited yesterday and the staff was very helpful. I needed a book for my ice cream machine that I have had for years. Wasnt able to find any of the books but they printed out the recipe I needed for my sons birthday.

Love this place

Friendly, helpful staff. Lots of stuff to look at. I picked up a Christmas tree ornament I was happy with. They had a nice selection.

Awesome selection for kitchenware. I was impressed by the diversity of food selection and variety of cooking ingredients in a smaller town. What a great representation of Maine life near this tranquil but enjoyable Maine street.

Had a great visit at this store. My wife bought some things... We went back later to shop it again - its that great.

As we were driving through we heard a commercial on the radio for Rooster Brother. It sounded so delicious we had to take a small detour to fuel up on caffeine. It was TOTALLY worth it. Roasts were magnificent in body and flavor. Theres benches and chairs on the lawn faxing a lake with ducks! So quaint.

Best coffee roasters in New England.Nice selection of cooking ware and all the tools to help you make that special dish.Plenty of tasty treats and a respectable array of wines.

Great little kitchen store. From wine to whisks they have it all and it is responsibly priced. Would highly recommend a look through all three stories of the store.

Best molasses cookies ever! The kitchen items are also nice, and if they dont have it, you dont need it.

Love from NYC~! Great house roasted quality beans. Baked goods are oven fresh and delicious. Warm welcoming service by its charming staff to top off the experience. Definitely stop by for a visit when youre in the area!

Fantastic espresso beans, roasted right on the premises. Also, quality chocolate, toffees, imported cookies and licorice, and other deliciousness. Nothing here is cheap but the quality is worth the expense. Ive stopped buying coffee from anywhere else.

Great place! Fabulous kitchen items, gourmet food, so much variety. Definitely stop there when you have time, you wont want to leave.

Outrageously great place for finding cooking and kitchen things. Lots of dishes and glassware as well. Then theres the many unique food items, great coffee and CHOCOLATE! Not cheap but you get quality for the price.

My sister and I had the most incredible cookie of our lives here, and we really love cookies. It was the ginger molasses and we will never forget it. Thank you for your cookie blessings.

Lovely atmosphere. Lots of excellent cooking supplies. Love it!

Such an unexpected surprise while out and about. High prices but nice items and decent selection. The staff was helpful but not friendly.

Rooster Brothers is always a fun visit. Good coffee, wine and lots of great cooking and dining accessories. I really enjoy their coffee, either by the pound or brewed.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff who take time to answer your questions. A full kitchen supply store and excellent coffee!

The place to be if youre interested in the kitchen--- every gadget you could ever want!!

Gotta go to the ROOSTER! They roast their own coffee beans, bake their own breads and have a wonderful deli. All of that is just the 1st level. On the 2nd floor, everything an inspiring chef could ever want is available at your fingertips. If it has to do with cooking, prepping, serving or just eating food, they have it. Now heres the REAL TREASURE, the 3rd floor or attic. Its only open on Friday and Saturday, but the bargains are worth the walk up the stairs. Its a savings bonanza galore! If all that isnt ENUFF, then the icing is grab yourself a coffee and sandwich from the deli after youve shopped and enjoy it at a picnic table next to the historical Union River which runs through Ellsworth.

Anything you need for the kitchen is here or they can get it for you. I love being able to see before I buy rather than shop online, esp. when it comes to kitchen tools. Not much of a deli but the COFFEE is amazing!! Worth every penny I spend there.

Dont go in t3-4 times a year but always find interesting stuff on the first floor

Great shop to get high quality, gourmet type foods and cooking/baking gear! We love the square salami with mustard seeds from France, the fresh baked baguettes and the swedish salty licorices!

Hi quality food and excellent people working there

Friendly staff. Great inventory. A 15 minute drop in and I left with 2 large bags and delicious iced coffee.

Everything upstairs is gorgeous kitchen wares, and downstairs youll find gourmet foods that no one else in the area sells. Coffee and sandwiches for eating at the picnic table. Great service.

Best coffee roasters ever!!

Best coffee anywhere (imho], great selection of foods and cooking equipment. Friendly, attentive & well trained staff.

A wonderful destination...a feast for eyes with well displayed items and food. Excellent coffees and food.

Love to stop here !! Just about anything you need for the kitchen except the sink. They have multiple choices of teas and coffee downstairs !!

Great service...fantastic merchandise. I love shopping there.

If youre looking for a great cup of coffee a good bottle of wine and some of the greatest kitchen gadgets youve ever seen this is the place to go!

Nice store if kitchen stuff is what youre into. They did have some decent chocolate.

Great place to shop for wine, coffee and specialty food items. Interesting cooks store with some unique items.

From cooking necessities to specialty ingredients, youre likely to spend a fair bit of time browsing the shelves, which is ok as theres also a great little coffee bar with a fresh selection of tasty bakery items in the basement!

One of my favorite stores. Come here whenever we come to Maine

Got a few of their cookies, 3 chocolate chip & 1 molasses (I think, ha ha) they were very good & the employees were very helpful !

Great coffee. They rotate the choices. Good kitchen supplies. Chocolate, liquorice, pastries.

Great place for freshly roasted coffee bean, and heaven for those who cook and need hard to find imported food items and kitchen wares

Great place for fun kitchen things. We had a lot of fun here and bought a few interesting things.

HasMore kitchen items than ever knew existed. Great place to grab a coffee.

LOOOVE this place! They have such a wonderful selection of breads,cheeses,& so many other gourmet delicacies!And the staff are so friendly and helpful!

Lots of neat cooking gear and good coffee and stuff downstairs.

Lots of kitchen gadgets to look at, plus international foods to purchase. Prices are what you would expect from a speciality store. They have clearance items on the third floor with pricing that is comparable to your box stores. I will be shopping there again.

Staff is always helpful and store has everything you would ever want or need! Plus things you didnt know you needed but after walking around the store you knew you just had to have that item!!

Super fun eclectic kitchen store!

If you like a nice kitchen store, this is it. Great selection but the price is a tad high.

Fun place to browse and wide variety of every item for kitchen plus.

Delightful...as always when we visit Ellsworth😁

Everytime we go there it is a pleasant experience, they (the Rooster Brother staff) are so very helpful. I love to go to the Rooster Brother store for cooks . For I always find what I need and sometimes what I didnt know I needed.

Great place to grab a sandwich and/or shop for kitchenware.

Best hot coffee around.
