J & J Jamaican Grocery and Gift Shop

First of all, they have moved. Now located on Rt1 in Warren, Maine. Next, AWESOME! We are so lucky to have such a fantastic store/restaurant in Midcoast Maine. Great selection of Jamaican groceries! Frozen meats, marinades, snacks, drinks, and really nice gifts. Although they do not have a GF menu, most items are naturally gluten free. Jerked meats, and great vegetarian options. Portions are huge and flavorful and come with so many sides. The first time I ordered I started to pick one, and Keleen, one of the wonderful owners, told me oh no, you get them all, just tell us which ones you don't want! 💚💛🇯🇲

This place is a gem. Lunch buffet counter in the hallway (NOT self-serve). Tucked back away from the main street. Had jerk chicken and the oxtail stew. Both came with a side of veggies (cabbage) and rice and peas. Both were delicious. I preferred the oxtail stew. Most of the meal options were GF. Good selection of drinks and sodas in the grocery section.
