Jefferson (Maine)

Damariscotta Lake Farms is a newly opened restaurant that sits on the corner of Rt. 32 and Bunker Hill rd. that looks over Damariscotta Lake. Inside is a friendly environment with an always smiling staff. It is a small restaurant with only about 10 different tables, but it also has a bar. The lighting is dim and it sets for a more relaxed mood. It does get a little loud sometimes though because there is always a lot going on. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with a variety of delicious foods. The steak and cheese is particularly good. It hits every one of your taste buds. Both reservations and walk-ins are welcome.

The Jefferson Market is located in the center of town right off of Rt. 32. It's a small market that has a few isles holding basic groceries. They also sell drinks and beer. In the back they have a grill and an oven where they cook things like pizza, steak and cheese and mozzarella sticks. They have two benches to sit inside, but they also have two benches outside to sit that are overlooking the river. Their food is tasty and the environment is friendly. The only downfall is most of the employees are teenagers so occasionally they get your order wrong. Besides that, this is the perfect place to go if you want a quick bite to eat or you just need to pick up a few things. You can either call in and order food or order food in the store.

In the middle of town, right off Rt. 32 there is an ice cream scoop that serves Giffords ice cream, which is made right in Maine. They also serve soft serve ice cream in the flavors of vanilla, chocolate and twist. It is a very popular place for the locals and for the people visiting the town. The scoop is a very fun, loving place. They give good portions for low prices. They have many different hard serve flavors that cater to all people's needs. They have flavors for both kids and adults. It gets busy on the weekends, but it's always worth the wait.

Ollie's is a small restaurant off Rt. 32. They sell pizza, sandwiches, baked goods, frozen novelties and groceries. Stop in for breakfast..... the eggs are always done to perfection and the bacon is just right. The owner is friendly and accommodating.

In this restaurant there is a small bar with about 6 different seats. It is a very friendly environment since it's the hang out spot for most of the locals. They serve a pretty wide variety of different drinks, so it's perfect for any kind of drinker. In mixed drinks they give you a lot of alcohol for your money. If you're looking for a good drink, this is the place to go.

Since Jefferson is such a small town, this is the only place to stay. It is a small bed and breakfast with five different rooms. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. There is a restaurant right downstairs, and also a screened in porch to enjoy your coffee. They also have an indoor heated pool. It is a cozy little place and is perfectly located in the center of town.
