Gluten free around Belfast Maine?

I'm heading to Swanville Maine for a week at the end of July. I gather that Swanville itself is quite small and it seems Belfast is the nearest town with many offerings. I saw in another post that there's a place in Bar Harbor, but that's about an hour and a half away. If that's my only choice so be it, but does anyone know of any dining spots closer to Belfast that offer gluten free choices?

Thanks!

    Thanks very much for the tips! The friend I'm going with (her family has been visiting Swan Lake for 20+ years) said the Co-op would be a great resource for stocking our kitchen for the week. To know they have prepared foods is great! I will look in to all the suggestions posted.

      To the above, I'd add Darby's as a likely choice. Wouldn't be surprised if Bay Wrap also had gluten-free options (or get without wrap). Also worth checking what's on the menu at 3Tides this summer. Or simply call the Co-op, as likely someone there would know. Great place, with prepared foods and a cafe.

        i know for a fact that the belfast co-op has lots of gluten-free options - from entree items, to baked goods.
        chase's daily, which serves an incredible vegetarian meal on fridays, would have gluten-free options available. try calling ahead and asking!
        belfast is a very with-it town, and i'm sure different restaurants get gluten-free requests regularly.
