If you’re spending time in Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Wells, Ogunquit, York, or Kittery this summer, you’re in for a treat—literally. July marks the start of wild blueberry season, and these treats in Southern Maine are popping up in everything from cocktails to ice cream, pies to pancakes. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend or lucky enough to live here year-round, here’s your blueberry-lover’s guide to the best spots along the Southern Maine coast.


🧁 Kennebunk & Kennebunkport

Boulangerie – A Proper Bakery (Kennebunk)

Tucked away on a quiet side street, this local favorite is known for rustic breads and seasonal pastries. In July, look out for wild blueberry scones, muffins, and hand pies—made with local berries and just the right touch of sweetness.

Mornings in Paris (Kennebunk)

Pair your espresso with a wild blueberry tart or galette at this European-inspired café. Their patio is perfect for people-watching while you savor the season.

Rococo Ice Cream (Kennebunkport)

Rococo’s rotating menu often features a Wild Maine Blueberry Chip or a Blueberry Basil flavor in mid to late July—rich, inventive, and uniquely Maine.


đŸ„§ Wells

Congdon’s Doughnuts

If you’re only stopping in Wells for one thing, make it this. Their wild blueberry doughnuts are legendary in July—fresh, fluffy, and glazed with berry goodness. Come early; they sell out fast!

The Steakhouse

Yes, it’s known for prime cuts, but in season, don’t skip dessert. Their house-made wild blueberry pie is a fan favorite—and the perfect ending to a summer meal.


đŸč Ogunquit

Cornerstone Artisanal Pizza & Craft Beer

During blueberry season, this pizza and beer hotspot adds a wild blueberry goat cheese salad and often offers a seasonal cocktail or sour beer with local berries. Refreshing and unexpected.

The Front Porch Piano Bar & Restaurant

For something classic, try their blueberry mojito or a wild blueberry gin fizz—perfect before a show or after a beach day.


đŸ„ž York

The Goldenrod

An iconic spot in York Beach, The Goldenrod features a rotating summer pie selection that often includes wild blueberry. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla from their old-fashioned ice cream counter.

Stonewall Kitchen Company Store & Café

This flagship location offers wild blueberry jam, syrups, sauces, and baking mixes. Stock up for home—or grab a jar as a host gift. The cafĂ© also features blueberry muffins and pancakes during peak season.


🍹 Kittery

Lil’s CafĂ©

Located in Kittery Foreside, Lil’s is known for its crullers—but in July, check out their wild blueberry crumb cakes and scones made with fresh, local fruit. Pair it with an iced latte and take it to go for a quick walk by the water.

Bagel Caboose

Start your day off right with a bagel topped with wild blueberry cream cheese or a blueberry pomegranate smoothie during the summer. A must before outlet shopping or exploring Fort Foster.
