My wife and I refer to this place as our favorite coffee hut. It's so hidden on the grand scheme of placement but when I say the baristas and owner are so friendly and helpful. I love their monthly drinks as well.

Staff was nice. But they did not know the difference between a mocha and latte… when I explained mocha is with chocolate she said so you want a latte…. I said no! And I don’t want foam or whip…. But I got about an inch maybes more of foam.

I call it Coffee Obsess because it’s so good. The coffee is the best I’ve ever had and it’s quick and inexpensive. I wish I could rate it 10 stars.

Love the chai latte and fabulous service!

I have loved this place for many years, almost always a great cup of coffee. But lately, service is weird at best and very hard to just simply order a coffee without sparky remarks and a we don't have that . Just going find somewhere

This place used to be a 10 out of 10 rating and we'd visit a few times a week. I took note that their cups (and lids?) were commercially compostable and not styrofoam which we liked but found it odd they seemed to change brands/designs often, seemingly every time we visited.Fast forward to about 6 months ago: We had an issue where one of our drinks would leak under the lid and spill down my shirt while I was driving. No problem, just a defective cup, it happens or so I thought. Our next few visits were fine although it did seem weird that the lids fit looser than it seemed they should. Then it happened again, the cup provided leaked under the lid, between the rim and the lid itself, down onto the front of my shirt and into my lap, all while I was driving.To be clear, it is not due to user error. The cup seam was 180 degrees away from the spout and properly fitted over the rim of the cup. The cups or lids that you use are simply not sized properly to match, leaving a gap that liquid can pass through under the lid.I decided to give them a break for a few weeks thinking maybe they'll get a new batch of cups. Nope, next time we went in both of our cups dribbled from under the lids.Today, despite my better judgement, we stopped in for coffee. It has now been several months since we last visited. To my disappointment, our coffee was served in the same defective cups. As soon as we took our first sip, we both had coffee dripping down the front of our shirts. Worse than ever before.You really only have one simple task to accomplish. Provide a cup of coffee in a container that does not require its user to wash their cloths (and cars interior) after drinking.I wish there were more options for local coffee on the go in Bangor. You were our go to alternative to Dunkin and Starbucks.Please, if and when you fix this problem, put up signs, yell on facebook and your webpage. I hope you can get our attention. We'll try you again and revise this review when we're sure we don't need to detail our car and run a load of laundry after visiting.

Very limited blended menu without the talent or experience to expand outside the very basics. Peanut butter and chocolate blended drink tasted like literal water and was a complete waste of $5. Certainly won’t return.

Wow! I did NOT expect to be writing a review for a coffee-to-go hut in Bangor but alas that was the best cappuccino I had in a LONG TIME! My husband got a black coffee with maple syrup and he too remarked at how good it was! I highly recommend the oat milk cappuccino with a drizzle of maple syrup. I'm sad that it's all over and I live so far away, but we'll be back. I'll be sure to let me Bangor friends know to go here. :)Vegetarian options: Vegan milk optionsKid-friendliness: You're in your own car. Friendly barista.Dietary restrictions: Vegan milk options

Are you looking for quick and quality coffee? Are you looking for unique flavors, custom flavors, or even holiday/seasonal flavor coffee? Well, make a stop here! They use local Maine coffees and eco responsible takeout cups and products. Wonderful flavors for any coffee lover, no matter the season. Friendly service. Just right prices. The donuts and baked goods they carry also come from a local bakery and are great (provided you get there before they are gone, quantity is limited). There are several other selections on the drink menu, not just coffee; teas, hot chocolate, lattes and matcha teas...so, I'd definitely say make a stop in for quality hot beverage! Bonne Cafe!

I’ve stopped here a few times since temporarily moving to the area. I LOVE their cold brew! The coffee is a fair price and tastes delicious. It’s a great pick-me-up for long work shifts.
