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.“

“Most of the time the crew working has been really great, now and then someone a little uninspired. The coffees have been fine. But more than once the baked goods have not been fresh. I bought a garlic bagel toasted with cream cheese last week and it was so stale I couldn't eat it. I bought a coffee yesterday and told the girl about it. She was very sweet and apologized, but I think the store should have a policy to compensate customers either with a free coffee, or a little coupon to get a free something. It makes me not want to risk buying breakfast there if the odds are that it's not going to be worth eating. Convenient location though!“

“Meilleur oatmeal EVER parfait petit café🤘🏼“

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

“Excellent coffee. Reasonably priced.“

“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!“

“The coconut jumbles are to die for! They were gone before the ferry got back to Portland! We also got the apple cake, and citrus almond cake. I will definitely be back to grab some more. Looking forward to some more treats! I highly recommend!“

“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!!“

“YUMMMMM!!! It is hard to describe how much I loved this gelato. The employees were friendly and helpful, and so nice to offer samples when I had questions on the flavors (the samples were given with metal spoons… so nice not to use single use plastic for that). I ordered the large size cup and the portion was generous for the price. I had three different flavors in my cup and all of them had a nice amount of toppings mixed in… this is a nice way to have the gelato as many gelato shops only have the toppings laying on top so you don’t end up with many in your serving. I have visited Italy and have had many gelatos over the years, but this is hands down the best I have had! My favorite flavor was ‘A Big ‘Ole Peanut Butter Pint’... a week and a half later and I am still thinking about this flavor!! Also, we were with someone with a dog and there was no outdoor seating. We asked the employees if we could grab chairs from the restaurant and bring them outside and they had no problem letting us do that (it helped that we visited at a time where they weren’t too busy).“

“Wonderful coffee and barista!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Love this spot! Love the cheap grilled 🧀“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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 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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“Buzz is hands down my favorite coffee shop in the entire Portland area. I can’t get enough of the blueberry pancake latte, it is incredible and my daily craving. The staff is super welcoming, the vibes are warm and fun, and the coffee is always amazing. This is one place I always bring any visitors when they’re in town. I can’t recommend Buzz more!!!!!“

“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“

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

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

“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 ❤️“

“Service excellent and we really liked the interior design.
A plus was the french hot chocolate and a breakfast sandwich.
Pastries were on the smaller side and nowhere like I enjoyed at Bread and Roses in Ogunquit.
My french roast coffee was lukewarm and tasted watered down. I drank half and tossed the rest.
While this location will do well here, there are way too many better options in the Portland and surrounding area.“

“Went here with my friend right before close— we felt bad for getting there so late, but the workers were sincerely kind and went above and beyond to give us a good dining experience! Even took our trash and gave us napkins without us asking, so thoughtful. And the donuts were beyond delicious, and made fresh when we ordered! Thanks so much!“

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

“Came here for the very first time on Veterans day. The staff was so helpful and kind. I told the gentleman at the counter that I had never been here before, but that I really enjoyed coconut. He recommended the nutelloco, and I am so thankful he did. It was absolutely delicious! Will definitely be back, thank you!“

“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 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.“

“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...“

“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.“

“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.“

“Nice space do get some work done my latte was delicious“

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

“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!“

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

“What a great place to discover!! One of my new favorites! Loved the cool vibe, incredible food, and special cocktails! Can’t wait to go back!!“

“I have been going to this location for years. The staff are always so friendly and nice. Recently I have been going and there is a girl working with long braids and she unfortunately is not friendly. I have never met an unfriendly girl at aromas until now. She may want to work at the Dunkin locations with the other rude employees.“

“Located on the ground floor of the Westin Harborview hotel, in Portland, this is the only alternative to the restaurant for a cup of coffee and a quick bit. Unfortunately, we found the hours were short, and it is not open every day. It is a small cafe, with no tables or chairs. You place your order, pay and get your coffee to go, The barista was very nice and did a good job preparing our coffees with care. There were two types of muffins and packaged coffee for sale, but that was it. No other choices for a quick bite, no sandwiches or other bakery goods.“

“This is my frequent and go to starbucks by my work. They definitely have built a great rapport with me and know my regular order at this point. When I’ve lost my wallet, they went above and beyond to make sure I got it back. When mistakes happen, they always do their best to fix my order + more!
I feel bad sometimes how grumpy I can come across sometimes, but I do want them ALL to know that they make my day better with every order. lots of compassion and care from the team. thank you! - QM“
