While there might be some debate among states, all Mainers know that we’re the true inventor or the whoopie pie. Pennsylvania can probably make one that’s okay, but if you want the real deal you’re going to need to come to Maine! But, who has the best whoopie pie in Maine?! The place that invented them certainly does a good job of making sure they’re available in as many stores as possible, but we’ve found a few we like best. If you’re on a quest for the perfect whoopie pie, you’ll want to start at these places.

1. Beelicious, Wiscasset
16 Western Ave, Fairfield, ME 04937, USA

Beelicious is the creation of Monica Carrington, a Chicago native who came north to create something special. She and her husband assumed they start a restaurant when they arrived in Maine, but seems their calling was more of the...market variety. While we love all the bee-inspired goods we especially love the whoopie pies here. Traditional and delicious in every way, it's worth the visit to pick up a few at a time. They're located at: 60 Main St., Wiscasset / 207-687-8234. Editor’s note: Unfortunately, Beelicious in Wiscasset has permanently closed. If you're looking for another great whoopie pie bakery though, try try Hillman's Bakery in Fairfield, Maine.
