Maine Bay & Berry Co. in State College, Pennsylvania, has carved out a reputation as the region’s go‑to destination for exceptionally fresh New England–sourced seafood. Founded in 2017, the business was created to fill a clear gap: locals wanted high‑quality seafood without the long drive to the coast. With owners who have roots both in State College and Winter Harbor, Maine, the shop brings in fresh product multiple times a week, offering everything from sushi‑grade tuna and Norwegian salmon to oysters, haddock, and specialty items that are hard to find elsewhere.

Beyond its seafood market, Maine Bay & Berry has expanded into a café experience that blends coastal charm with local community energy. The renovated space at The Barn at Lemont features a main‑floor café, a tasting room and lounge, and even an event venue for classes and private gatherings. Customers consistently praise the quality of the fish, the knowledgeable staff, and the Maine‑inspired atmosphere that makes the space feel like a hybrid between a market and a coastal café retreat.

The business has also earned strong reviews for both its product quality and its customer service. With a near‑perfect rating across multiple platforms, visitors highlight the freshness of the seafood, the well‑curated selection, and the reliability of weekly offerings. Whether someone is stopping in for a lobster roll, picking up ingredients for a home‑cooked seafood dinner, or exploring the café’s expanded menu and events, Maine Bay & Berry Co. has become a standout culinary destination in the State College area.
