Good Tern Co-op Cafe - Rockland

It is not always easy to find vegan food and accessories in Midcoast Maine and this place was a lifeguard during our stay in Rockland. They have organic fruits, vegetables, vegan yogurt, milk, sandwiches, desserts, etc. We tried the vegan web mi and the tempeh reuben; both were delicious. So the vegan baked goods and desserts were. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Prices were slightly higher than at home, but that was expected.

3 stars for vegan selection, 4 stars for quality and serving. We took the vegan black bean burgers for a dinner on-the-go, that was the only cafe-made vegan to-go option. There were other vegetarian options that contained milk and eggs. The vegan burgers were delicious, and the sandwiches were quite plentiful, and on locally made multi-grain bread. The vegan cookies were so tempting, but the sandwiches were so big that we couldn't even have a bite. There were no other vegan options in the selection of other baked goods. I would definitely try again for another takeaway café menu if through the area, although I would have a backup plan if there were no or not enough vegan choices.

Good place to find some vegan snacks when you stay in the area.

Good rotation has a great focus on local products. They have prepared vegan options that are clearly marked, but there is no great amount. They have marked snack foods and prepared foods, and a really great selection of vegan Cheeze products. They also expanded their vegan beer and wine selection! The café area is cozy and cute, and the staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. If you're in the area, it's worth a stop!

Significant vegan sandwich and salad options in the first refrigerator you pass when you enter the shop. My favorites are the Tofu banh mi (smoking, tasteful, filling) and the Fakin ' BLT (also delicious). The selection varies and changes over time (I am hopeful that the tempeh reuben will look again) but it always seems to be a variety of salad options (Gras, Nudel, Pasta). Go on to bakery (again on the left), and there are usually at least a few vegan options. In the corner of the shop there is a vegan cooler where they sell vegan 'dairy' products cheese, yogurt, milk, etc. and plant products. Plus many vegan snacks (including chocolate) blown throughout the business.
