50 Best Coffee Shops near Cumberland

“Best breakfast sandwich I have ever had was today's special at Dara Bistro: crispy fried chicken breast, scrambled egg, cheese, a drizzle of maple syrup and sliced jalapenos on delicious homemade bread.“

“Super friendly Google always wants to send me to Starbucks or similar, no thank you, so I asked my Grok to take me somewhere that’s not mainstream and great. It brought me here did not disappoint, and they've been there forever!“

“I expected great coffee and got it, but the biscuits and scones were delicious- even better than my own homemade.“

“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!“

“Gelato Fiasco was one of our favorite dessert stops in Portland. The whole experience is incredibly easy and fun—they’ll let you sample whatever flavors you want, and when you’re ready, you can build your cup with as many different flavors as you’d like.

Everything we tried was delicious. The gelato is very light and smooth, so even after trying several flavors it never felt overly heavy or too sweet. There’s also enough variety that it’s easy to find something for everyone.

The staff was extremely friendly and patient while we sampled our way through the options, which made the experience even better.

Overall, I’d absolutely recommend Gelato Fiasco. If you’re looking for ice cream or gelato in Portland, this is easily one of the top spots in the city.“

“Meilleur oatmeal EVER parfait petit café🤘🏼“

“Excellent coffee. Reasonably priced.“

“Last month our flight to Portland was delayed a considerable amount of time due to weather issues and it looked as though we would not be able to make our 5p.m. reservation. My daughter called from the tarmac in Boston where we were rerouted and refueled and explained the situation. The hostess, Susie, was very understanding and compassionate And said that even though our table was booked for another party a 7, we should come in and she would see what she could do. We got there late but Susie greeted us warmly and told us not to worry about being rushed that she had arranged things so no one would be inconvenienced. The atmosphere was warm and cozy; the food so very delicious and our waitperson, Anika, was the best. Atmosphere, impeccable service, food and warmth all rate 5 stars and another visit next time we are in Portland.“

“Love coming here for coffee and pastries with my friends. Now they send me photos of them going by themselves or with their loved ones 😌 Onggi makes Portland a better place!“

“This is one of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. I love the vibe in this coffee shop, relaxing, music, and a nice ambience. I will definitely be coming back!“

“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“

“Let me first start by saying that I'm one of the very proud owners of Three of Strong Spirits, also located on Diamond St in Portland, Maine. I meandered down to this company and, upon introducing myself, the owner gifted me with a bag of Margaret P. Driver, a coffee which she has created in our rum barrels! So, what happens when you take the best rum made in Maine, or the world for that matter, and infuse it into quality coffee beans?????????????? You get an explosion of taste that will literally leave you speechless!! Here I thought our rum was incredible and mind-blowing all by itself, but this lovely lady who owns this company has taken it to the next level! The coffee is smooth and boozy. I am addicted!!!!!!!! I find myself at my home coffee bar simply inhaling the aromas from the bag! There are only two of us in this big house who drink coffee. Well, when I brew Margaret P. Driver, the 12-cup pot vanishes within seconds, with my housemate and me fighting for the very last drop! If the combination of our rum and their coffee isn't deadly enough for you, then try their frosted brownies!! OMG!! I nearly passed out eating them!! They are incredible!! The brownies also pair beautifully with the coffee!! Wow, wow, and wow!! I will be stopping in for more of the coffee infused with our rum on a regular basis!! Furthermore, I recommend that tourists stay on Diamond St for an entire day, not just for a few moments!! We have our bar, Three Of Strong Spirits, then there's Bite Into Maine, and the icing on the cake, Coffee By Design! Diamond St is the happening place to be!!“

“great selection of drinks of all types, great selection of games, and a really welcoming atmosphere.“

“Love this place. The staff is always friendly, the hours are consistent, the neighborhood adorable, and the coffee is great.“

“Great place with lovely staff! very friendly and an all around nice cute little establishment. love it!!“

“Wonderful coffee and barista!“

“Love this spot! Love the cheap grilled 🧀“

“Best Gelato I’ve ever had! I’ve been to a few different places but none even compare. I had the Hazelnut and Sea Salt Caramel and they were mouth watering. My bf had Maine Wild Blueberry and Oreo and we almost went back for more that night! Eagerly waiting for Boston Creme to come back so I can try it!!“

“I was advised to visit this café. As I would describe it, it is an addiction in a cup; consequently, I now make it a point to stop in once a week. The server was exemplary and willing to assist me in selecting the appropriate coffee, as I prefer my beverages to be quite sweet. 100/10 suggest stopping by and giving it a try!“

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“The atmosphere is warm and cozy, the kind of place you can settle into and actually relax. The drinks are excellent, but what made it even better was the service. On Friday afternoon, the girl working was so kind and incredibly helpful. She took the time to explain the drinks and made sure I left with exactly what I wanted. Great coffee, great vibe, and wonderful people. Highly recommend!“

“I had an excellent experience ordering coffee and tea. I love Aly's and John's welcoming customer service.“

“Oh, I love Playa Bowls! They’re like a perfect combo of fresh fruit, smoothie goodness, and crunchy toppings. It's like a little tropical vacation in a bowl. Have you tried their acai or pitaya bowls? Let’s explore what toppings or flavors you like best!“

“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!!!“

“I visited the Thames location. The open space atmosphere was very bright and refreshing. Menu was quite particular in terms of beans origins and varieties. I had a lot of questions, but the employee helping me did not really know answers about the specifics on the board. So I just got what seemed healthy and tasty after a quick google of some details. I had the Kenya Gatina AA – washed Batian Ruru with notes of blackberry, caramel, and orange zest. It was far from my typical, and I can appreciate that the coffee was of a good quality, but my experience would've been much more enjoyable if I could've been directed to flavors more suited to my palate. Beautiful view and in an easy to find area!“

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

“Finally got to check this place out over Father's Day weekend. Fantastic! Highly recommended!“

“Delicious smoothies and service! Loved the Touch of Green!“

“I love their teas! I get peace & yoga tea, and they are amazing! These are the best teas I have ever tried - if you’re a person who loves trying new teas and different flavors, this place is worth a try. I ordered online since I am back at college in STL, and the tea came wrapped all nicely still!! This place wraps it in paper and used twine, even more sustainable. I would recommend their teas to everyone.“

“Love this place and it NEVER disappoints ! We come here everytime we go out for breakfast. Warm welcoming service, amazing food choices & flavor at reasonable prices!! Make a resi as it is always bustling and busy.“

“Got an espresso shot and a breakfast sandwich—both were good! The space is down some stairs into a tiny basement room. No restroom and only a little seating inside. They do have some patio tables set up outside on ground level. Not a place to stay and hang out if it’s crowded but was good and sufficient for a quick stop in!“

“Great food made on the premises, including homemade desserts and sourdough bread. Try the charcuterie plate with several cheese, fruit, nuts, bread and a rotating sliced meat. Or the grilled shrimp or tuna, both yummy. Cocktails, wine, espresso -- choices galore. gotta love the espresso martini, even a decaf one! Jazz or blues background music, no headbanger stuff. Relax and enjoy...“

“The best ghirardelli lattes, pastries, and staff!! 💕 Been coming for a long time, and they're always amazing 😊“

“Most delicious donuts in Maine. Shareable and they freeze well. Super friendly staff!“

“My wife and two kids went here. I am gonna be very open. I was hangry and my wife the ever so great person she is found this place. She got her baked goods and our son things. I said I want something and got the sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. Was such a good thing to do. Better than the last place we went to in Lakewood, ohio. This had great taste and was not vegan. Killer breakfast sandwich.“

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

“Good croissandwiches; decent coffee.

Prices are actually reasonable, although they hide them in the store.service is friendly.

Outdoor seating perfect for summertime.

I thinks even good for small group gatherings.

The design is quaint. Not so much Paris as English countryside, but neat and comfortable with certain old-world charm.“

“Coffee and hot cocoa are always made to perfection, no matter how crazy the order may be lol. Super cool that you can select options to toast and warm pastries through the app. Also, always love the friendly baristas! The location is slightly unattractive, but who cares? It's coffee! :D“

“I have been to multiple dunkins! This dunkin is by far the best one! The staff is always on point! My order too! I get decaf because my body hates caffeine 🤣 they kill it every time! Other dunkins always gave me regular coffee ( yes I can tell the difference, my body too) They get it right every time, they're also great with my daughter! We've come to know some of the staff's names , as we are now regulars 🤣🤣 give these people a raise because they kill it every morning ❤️❤️❤️“

“Starbucks was so good I tried there unicorn Frappe for the second time and it still tasted good“

“I've shopped in many Whole Foods across the country. I have family in Portland, Maine, and I visit this Whole Foods on a frequent basis. It is large, well-stocked, and most of all, the different food stations are amazing. Made to order items at the food stations are terrific and make for a nice meal. The hot bar is also excellent. Tasty, excellent food. I look forward to frequenting the store on a regular basis.“

“I love Dunkin Donuts. They have the best Ice Coffees, Coolattas, smoothies bagels and more. I still consider Starbucks the best but Dunkin Donuts is the first best and favorites. Why? Cause they make they stuff that I like and love just right the way I like it.“

“Such a cute place. Teas were delicious and it was nice to catch up with Sandra!“

“I go to this Dunkin Donuts semi regularly and the customer service is great for regular orders, a large order I placed for work, and they always offer treats to dogs.

I wish I could remember the person's name with green hair and a mask that helped with my huge order. So friendly and reliable. Thank you!“

“This hands down the best staff I’ve ever seen at a Starbucks! I have stopped by three times this week and stayed there to do some work and I saw that they are happy all the time even when there’s a line of cars out to the street!!“

“Great place for a nice light breakfast“
