Bee Free Bakery is a new bakery in town offering gluten free items!  Most goods are also dairy free, and all of our flour is nut free!  We are also able to meet other special dietary requests if needed!  Contact us for all your bakery needs!

One of the town’s favorite places to grab a quick snack and dessert, the Dairy Queen in Cumberland is run by a devoted couple that is constantly giving back to the community. Not only do they participate in Dairy Queen’s National Free Cone day, they donate to our Rutabaga Festival, participate in the Baga Bunny Hunt with their free Dilly Bar sticks for the ears and entertain busloads of kids at the end of the school year when they stop by for a treat on their way to get dropped off from school. Offering soft serve ice cream just a short walk away, many of us can probably remember a time when we took a break from swimming at the beach, watching a football game at Moser Field, or between unlimited rides during Rutabaga Fest to enjoy a cone, blizzard or dilly bar. In recent years we have seen the Cumberland Dairy Queen stay committed to bringing their customer’s the best service and quality food by making improvements to the indoor space and adding a few new tables outside to enjoy your treats at. I think the only “complaint” you could find about CDQ is that they aren’t open all year long! What are we supposed to do when it’s 30 below and for some reason we’re just hankering for a buster bar?!

Hours:

Monday through Friday 8:00am to 6:00pm

Saturday 9:00am to 1:00pm

Since 1981, a local cooperative of folks who support the offering of local produce, organic dairy, vitamins and supplements & bulk goods have operated the Island City Food Co-op in downtown Cumberland. With fresh bread and bakery goods offered in their coffee shop adjoined to the store, this soon became a gathering place for locals to sit and gossip while they enjoyed a fresh cup of joe. Sadly the pandemic has put a temporary hold on folks gathering in such close quarters, but in an effort to adapt to the changing needs of their customers the co-op offers either in store or curbside pick up for your grocery needs. Just shoot them an email or give them a call and they’ll have your order ready to go in a few hours. For your convenience you can even purchase a voucher from the co-op so you don’t have to putz around with writing checks, getting change or using a card for every purchase. Simply purchase a voucher and charge your purchases to your account. You can view a full list of the products offered by the co-op on their website, and stay in touch with new arrivals by following their Facebook page.
