“Good England muffins with peanut butter“

“Higher Grounds is the coolest store ever. My husband and I stopped in twice during our Portland stay from out of town. We bought a variety of THC products and found the prices reasonable and quality to be exceptional. It’s a calm and ambiant place free from judgement. Everyone we spoke to was super kind and helpful!“

“Top marks for our server who took extra care with our order, separating the soup and salad for sharing. The crab cakes were amazing! We ordered wine which was clearly chosen based on the taste and an easy pairing with menu items. The restaurant sits just outside the hotel allowing guests to enjoy a quiet spot in the city and the lovely outdoors.“

“My husband and I traveled from the Ellworth Maine area to both build terrariums and look for a plant that has been on my bucket list for some time. This place did not dissapoint even remotely! We built 2 amazing terrariums without any knowledge about them going into it and came home with a Thai constellation Monstera and a baby pitcher plant! It was one of the most fun and grounding expierences of my life. All of the staff and the owner were so helpful, knowledgeable and passionate about it all! I wish I lived closer as I would frequent this place often just for the people and atmosphere alone! Words can describe how special of a place they have and I hope to see it continue to thrive for years to come. I have a mobility disability and getting around many places in a wheelchair can be a challenge but their set up makes it easy to get around and the staff are so ready and willing to assist in all of the things. If accessibility is a concern for you dont let it be! I want to give a big heartfelt thank you to the staff and owner for this amazing expierence (and a thank you for the happy birthday note in my monstera ❤️).“

“Josh is a 2 time award winning coffee whisperer. Also there’s an iced malt coffee you need“

“Best martinis in Portland! It’s a must try if you’re in town. Chocolate salted caramel is my fav 🤤 but, you must ask for Miriam, she’ll take care of you!“

“Baba's is my very favorite place on the island!! Such a beautiful cafe, with every detail of the space reflecting the owners' and staff's love of Peaks. The coffee is absurdly good and the breakfast sandwich is INSANE. I truly think it might be the best I've ever had. Make sure to get there before 11 AM so you can try it! I love you Baba's!!!!!! <3“

“Lobstah Roll a must have and gluten free snack bars yummy“

“Great latte and wonderful owner and friendly staff. ☕️☕️☕️☕️“

“I had so much fun tonight attending the Unicorn cupcake class!! The instructor was so informative, fun, and easy to learn from. Thank you and I will definitely be back!!“

“Great good and amazing prices can't beat it“

“While Portland, as a whole, hates making money on the weekend breakfast crowd. PMA Cafe came in clutch. They actually serve food. Like, I get that some people consider coffee to be a meal, some of us actually need food to be able to function. PMA Cafe, while the prices are a tad bit higher than what im used to paying, had excellent food and an attentive server.“

“I was not about to leave Portland and forget to shout out this donut shop. Super cute, cozy atmosphere and will be on my list to visit each year I make it back to Portland. I will completely forget about that other donut shop 😂

Just the right size for a sweet treat. Loved the flavors! The fruity pebble one is SO good and the cookies and cream comes in second place. 10/10, MUST recommend!!!“

“My husband, MIL, and myself were visiting Maine all the way from NC and came here TWICE during our visit. First was brunch, then dinner. Both meals were exceptional. Our waitress(I wish I could remember her name, but she has long, red hair), gave the best service I have ever experienced in my life! This will definitely be a spot we must visit everytime we come up ❤️“

“Great place for a nice light breakfast“

“Stopped in looking for a souvenir I could fly with and walked out with some goodies. As a bonus they had delicious vegan cookies which I got for myself! The person I spoke with was super helpful and kind and not at all judgy about my excitement about tinned fish! They went above and beyond with helpful information and advice.“

“The last place we stopped at during our trip to Portland, ME.

I ordered a maple latte and my partner got a caramel latte. Both were delicious! The atmosphere was amazing. I wish we had time to hang out there but this we had a long dbotanical.

The staff were very friendly and it smelled divine in there with coffee and tea mixing with fresh botanicals.“

“Awesome bubble tea shop that stands out from the other spots in Portland because of its innovative menu items named after and inspired by the ocean. The zephyr with osmanthus and brown sugar was incredible. The mushroom latte was also outstanding as a caffeine-free option. The space is also really comfortable with abundant seating and charming touches like a bookshelf and board games.“

“delicious bagels. nice people.“

“The DCNA is a beautiful organization where neighbors get together and make things HAPPEN. Deering Center Porchfest Portland, ME is my favorite time of the year thanks to the DCNA. Join us!“

“I went to this store for the first time of tuesday afternoon this week. I'm not from the area and had gotten lost. My phone was not charged so I didn't have a GPS to help me find my way to where I was going. I'm a single mom and I was getting worried. A gentleman there by the name of James saw how worried I was and asked what was wrong. I explained my situation. Even though he was busy he took the time and actually wrote down every turn or exit I needed to take, he literally wrote step by step what I had to do to get me and my young children home safely. I can't even begin to express how much this meant to me, because of his kindness we made it home safe. It's workers like James that make businesses great. This store is lucky to have someone who not only does his job but goes beyond that and helps others without regard of being recognized.“

“Best place to eat on Peaks Island. This is the only restaurant on Peaks that is not a tourist trap.“

“Such a fun and relaxing experience. I highly recommend!!!“

“the blueberry latte is my favorite, but the people who work here are so great too!“

“WONDERFUL staff. Genuinely some of the kindest bunches of people I've met in service industry. Honestly the food was delicious but the cinnamon rolls are with a hard glaze, not what I expected. Atmosphere was pretty nice although when we went, ICE was outside the strip mall, and its not necessarily Panera's fault but it made the atmosphere very uncomfortable.“

“Huge location. Incredibly spacious inside. Multiple kiosks for ordering. Definitely plenty of space to dine and order at your convenience. Coffee station is a nice touch to the layout right by the entrance. Loved my french onion soup and chipotle chicken avo melt. I even got a $4.19 chocolate croissant for free 😊“
