50 Best Coffee Shops near Falmouth

“I stopped here instead of Starbucks, which in the same plaza, because they had a patio and I was looking for a spot to take a video call. They have a wide selection of coffee, pastries and light bites. I picked a very unassuming bacon, Swiss & spinach egg bite which looked a little crispy on the outside but surprisingly was moist & buttery on the inside. Think quiche but without the crust. I paired that with a Colombian coffee—it’s nice that they give you an option of roasts—which was piping hot but delicious. Perfect spot to stop for a treat, catch up with a friends, or do some light laptop work.“

“Traveling from TN to Maine. Daughter was recently diagnosed with celiacs and I have celiacs. If you are in the Portland area, worth the visit. The staff is so kind and friendly. They are knowledgeable about celiacs as the store’s origin story begins with a mom navigating celiacs. Even my son who isn’t gluten free enjoyed every bite.“

“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.“

“Staff is always so polite scared been to a few Starbucks locations — today even despite their rush before Easter Sunday they were all continuously kind to all customers. Thank you guys keep up the good work!!“

“I have to rant and rave about the employee named Mike who went above and beyond to ensure that all of our needs were met during our lunch today! They are attentive, kind and a hard worker. This McDonald’s is lucky to have them! My kids even commented on the amazing customer service from Mike. Please give them a raise it is well deserved!!!“

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

“Meilleur oatmeal EVER parfait petit café🤘🏼“

“Excellent coffee. Reasonably priced.“

“Wonderful coffee spot, great little meat and veg pastries and cool French music!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Wow the maine blueberry crisp is amazing. Delicious, crunchy crisp, incredible blueberries, just so yum. Had a bite of the double caramel and cookies and the Italian banana pudding and that was also incredible. Will have to be back to try more!!! So nice that you can do multiple flavors in any size and try as many samples as you want! A wonderful experience all around and a nice outdoor seating area to boot!“

“Went in today for the first time and food was amazing! Ordered a latte and the girl that took my order wasn’t the friendliest. I last minute decided I wanted a latte, and asked for it to be made with oatmilk she seemed annoyed and said it comes with oatmilk with an attitude. There is no info stating that the latte comes with oatmilk so not sure how I was supposed to know that. The guy who made my drink was extremely friendly and when my food order was ready the cooks were also super friendly! Great food and latte, will be back for sure!“

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

“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!“

“Wonderful coffee and barista!“

“Rarely do I leave a review, but this place is outstanding and definitely deserves the hype! So good we returned for a second time over the course of our long weekend stay. First of all, the vibes inside this cute little café are immaculate. All the staff were warm, inviting (both times we went) and very attentive to provide a great dining experience. But let’s get to the best part, which is truly the food (the Como se dice Bon Giorno sandwich to be specific). The English muffins are made in house, and you can tell the difference! They take their delicious baked staples and curate them for the holiday/season. Is it a little pricier? Sure but nothing unexpected for dining in the Portland area, and the quality most certainly justifies the price. I highly recommend and definitely plan to return on following trips, as this is our new staple for breakfast in the Portland area!“

“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!“

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

“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 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.“

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

“Love this spot! Love the cheap grilled 🧀“

“The atmosphere is perfect for studying, and very comfortable. And the business is very openly supportive of LGBT rights.

The barista was friendly and made my coffee very quickly.

I got a cortado for 4 dollars, which was delicious and had pronounced chocolately notes, with medium acidity.

I would highly recommend going here.“

“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. ☕️☕️☕️☕️“

“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!!!!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“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!“

“There's quite a line for this tiny little place. And the lines are either for good food or convenience.
I am happy to say that this place is both. I reallly enjoyed it.
They clearly use good beans, and the drinks are made fresh.
What made this enjoyable was the absolute flavor of chocolate liqueur. It made this drive through latte feel sophisticated and well crafted.
If I lived nearby, I'd made my way through the menu.“

“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“

“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!“

“Their strawberry cheese tart might be the most delicious thing I have ever tasted in my 34 years of life. Just saying. 😮‍💨“

“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!“

“Great service! They aim to make sure you are happy with your order! Great environment, great service. Our #1 coffee stop every year when we come to visit!“

“Wonderful coffee and barista!“

“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 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 ❤️❤️❤️“
