Popular Boba Tea Shop Opens Second Location In Brewer

A little over 4 years ago, Fat Panda Boba Tea & Market opened up an Asian goods shop on Harlow Street, nestled next to Gosselin's and Bangor Floral.

For fans of Ramen noodles and Boba Tea, it's been a hotspot in the area specializing in noodles, sauces, drinks, and snacks that you cannot get in most places in Maine.

Apparently business has been going well for the shop, so much so that they opened a second location, right across the river, with very little fanfare, last fall.

Fat Panda 2, as they refer to it, is situated in the Brewer Shopping Center, snuggled between the DaVita Dialysis Center and Rent-A-Center.

Fat Panda 2 carries much of the same things as the original Bangor shop does, but also has some new things to offer like Carrabassett Coffee, Gosselin’s Donuts, and Asian Soft Serve ice cream.

This past week, Brewer approved a plan to bring even more new businesses to town. A plan to demolish the Sullivan Tire building on Wilson Street and build a new facility that would contain several new businesses including a new coffee shop.

The Best Restaurants in Downeast Maine for Lobster

So when your hungry out-of-state relatives or friends come to our great state, where do you take them for a mouth-watering lobster dinner?

The answer to that often asked question will be top of mind for a lot of Mainers this season, as thousands of tourists, relatives, and friends drive hundreds if not thousands of miles to take in the sights and eat what our state is most famous for, lobster.

Whether it's a lobster salad, in a hot dog roll, a broiled tail, thrown into a pot of boiling sea water, or god forbid, made into a lobster poutine, people near and far crave it, and as soon as they make it into this neck of the woods it'll be what they have for dinner that night.

While each of us already have a few favorite snack bars, take-outs, and restaurants in mind, it would be wrong of this author to pass along those personal suggestions. So, we're going to rely on the reviews of TripAdvisor to point our visitors in the right directions. We've focused on the Ellsworth and Mount Desert Island area, and here is what we found as we count our way up to the #1 most recommended place for lobster Downeast.
