Midcoast Maine is home to many great eateries and specialty shops, talented artists, and unique businesses and
organizations. Here are some of our favorites.
Zoot Resident Artists
Zoot Bakers
Friends and Neighbors
Gary Briechle
Gary's passion is glass plate photography, and his black and white portraits inevitably give the impression that, for
the briefest moment, you have glimpsed the raw essence of humanity. Gary's unique perspective will soon be captured in
a book for all to enjoy; stay tuned for a publishing date.
Penny Gentle
Penny's beads are like tiny worlds encapsulated in glass. Designed to be worn or hung in a window, her little pieces bring
joy to all who see and touch them. Penny's website
Simon van der Ven
Simon is an accomplished artist in just about any medium, but Zoot has the particular honor of being home to his pottery cups.
Sim's cups elevate the tea-drinking experience to a truly contemplative and aesthetic pursuit. Available for purchase at the cafe
or online.
Isaiah Pottle
An amazingly talented young sculptor and painter. Several of Isaiah's pieces have become permanent installations at the cafe. One
of our original Zootlings, you can often find Pottle working behind the counter, sculpting beautiful cappuccinos.
Dave Morrison
Local writer and poet (and all around funny guy), Dave can be found reading from his latest volume summer nights at the cafe.
