“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.“

“I don't like the screen order board it's just a pain.was so glad I could just order at the counter. The young man was kind and very polite. I just really don't like McDonald's food my son and husband like their food. Bathrooms were clean and the drunk area look good. Other than it being expensive now not bad if you need to stop somewhere“

“Great breakfast sandwiches away from the tourist waterfront - not a long walk and definitely worth it!“

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

“Best coffee we had in Portland. I wouldn't recommend the espresso on its own, but they do make good espresso drinks—try the cortado and the cappuccino. Really lovely cider too.

Cute ambience with terrarium plants; nice to read a book by the big windows.“

“Very cute little queer friendly and affirming coffee shop/eatery/diner in Portland! We stopped in while in town visiting for some caffeination. These had to be one of the most perfectly made lattes we've ever had. Milk properly steamed to perfection, without any sweetener it wasn't the least bit bitter and had the best flavor ever. Service was extremely welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere, even just while waiting to get our drinks, was very cute. We'll definitely be stopping back in when we are in the are.

Parking: Street parking only and it looked in short supply, however, we got lucky and got an open spot right in front of the shop.“

“Very good gelato outside of Italy! We ordered chocolate, mascarpone pistachio caramel (unique and so so good) and the blueberry crisp. The server was so sweet and friendly to everyone that came in. The portion sizes were more generous than I expected!! I wish we were here longer to come back.“

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

“I stopped in on a beautiful summer days and got a cappuccino. The coffee was delightful and the ambience was even better. The baristas were wonderful and my friend and I felt very welcoming. I was especially struck by the music when we walked in as they were playing my favorite song. I absolutely loved babas cafe!“

“Always great food! Nothing disappoints, but start with a breakfast sandwich on their home made biscuit.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Black Sesame Foam Hoji blew my mind today. Came in for matcha, got this instead, and really happy about trying a new thing!

My only prior experience (elsewhere) with Hojicha (roasted green tea) was being served hot water with a tea bag of the roasted leaves; today's experience was very different and in every way better.

Hojicha served here is a powder similar to matcha, but rather than the bright green hue of the young unroasted tea leaves, this powder resembles a pale version of cocoa. It is whisked similar to matcha to create a suspension, then they add your choice of milk, and finish it off with a just-sweet-enough black sesame cold foam.

The Hojicha latte had a unique flavor that was both nutty and almost chocolaty. The cold foam was a tad sweet for me, though once mixed with the rest of the drink I thought it worked well, especially as a treat.

Pairs well with their butter mochi :)“

“Coffee By Design in Portland boasts exceptional customer service, with consistently friendly and polite staff. The coffee quality is unparalleled, arguably the best in Southern Maine. The only downside is the wait time, attributed to the shop's perpetual popularity. Despite the minor inconvenience, the overall experience is worth the brief delay for a sip of their outstanding brew.“

“This is a great coffee shop. It has a bar as well, but the atmosphere is really relaxed. They have a large collection of games ranging from quick and simple to complex and lengthy. Trevor had some great spot recommendations for games and the coffee was solid. Highly recommend checking them out.“

“In town for a short trip, stopped in for a quick drink, and immediately loved the vibe. We took our time exploring the space. Very cool. Vinyl spinning on the turntable, vintage maps displayed throughout. Very unique and thoughtfully decorated venue.“

“Wonderful coffee and barista!“

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

“Great service & great food!!“

“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!“

“Excellent all around! Their blueberry pancake latte is one of the best I’ve had and their blueberry muffin was tasty. Will come back when I’m back in town

Dietary restrictions: They have alternative milk substitutes if you cannot have cow’s milk“

“The Way Coffee Should Be… Great tasting coffee served in a cozy mug, with an open atmosphere to enjoy it in.The people here are good humans, I came in here in a panic because my work nearby had no internet and I had a client in a short amount of time. When I arrived I realized I had forgotten my wallet, the neighborly staff here offered to let me put it on a ticket and come back to pay, all while reassuring me I could stay to use the WiFi as long as I needed. Truly the kind of magic that gets you through a rough start to the day, thanks for being rad humans serving up rad stuff <3“

“Amazing breakfast!! And the staff was quick and attentive!“

“Amazing people and delicious drinks! cannot recommend this place enough!!“

“My husband and I have been going to Gorgeous Gelato for years. It's been a while since we've been but last weekend, we decided to introduce our granddaughters to it. The older one enjoyed trying blueberry sorbet and ended up ordering it. The little one is 3 so she opted for vanilla and chocolate. It's just as delicious as we remember. They really make the best gelato in New England. It's the closest one to the ones we had in Italy. Oh, and they have sfogiatelle (pastry filled with sweet ricotta) which was legit. Had one of those in Naples, Italy in 2017. This is not Naples level but it brought me back to the experience nonetheless. It's a bit pricey though (almost $7 each). Their prices have gone up and parking in the the city could be a challenge. These are the only reasons why we don't go more often.“

“Don't be discouraged by the exterior. If you want good coffee, tasty breakfast, and quick service with no lines, Yordprom ticked all those boxes for us. We took a chance on it after waiting in line for too long at a Bakery further up and we were very happy with how buttery and flaky the ham and cheese croissant was and the softness and creaminess of the avocado bagel. As Australians, we can be picky with our coffee and I thought it was also a decent cappuccino. The setting was basic but it was fairly priced and we were welcomed with a smile and friendly goodbyes, so to us that was worth it compared to a more stylish/modern option that's too busy and overcharges. Thanks for the friendly service and tasty food, guys!“

“OMG. I wrote this review so long ago. Since then I have had nearly a thousand coffees here. My dog has a locker here. It’s anything but sterile, and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable about coffee and cannabis alike. 10/10 would recommend!
—
Coffee was good, great even but the atmosphere was a bit sterile. I was there just after opening, so I'll try again in a few weeks.“

“honestly best experience walking into a coffee shop. all the staff are so welcoming and nice especially the one girl with glasses and curly hair. their iced chi with oat milk is my fav and their breakfast sandwiches are so good 10/10 would recommend for anyone who needs a good coffee and good vibes “

“The donuts here were AMAZING. Easily the best donuts in town (I said what I said). They are made fresh to order and delish! I can’t speak as highly for the iced coffee - my friend ordered two and one had grinds in the bottom and chunky almond milk- the guy making it definitely noticed (he spent an extra minute stirring it and holding it up to the light) and still served it but he’s young so it may just be a training issue. We tossed the coffee after. Either way, it didn’t stop us from making a trip back the next day to get some donuts for the drive home- and eating some right away. I will be back for the donuts anytime I’m in town!“

“I was able to try out a brew before I bought a bunch. Of course the brew was great and I did buy. Thank you!“

“Love this place! The people are so friendly and I always leave with a smile.“

“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.“

“I was lucky enough to visit on its second day open and they were already running like they’d been doing it forever. Everyone was incredibly kind and personable even though it was packed, and we didn’t have to wait long for anything. The coffee rocked and the breakfast sandwich was the best I’ve had in a while. The whole atmosphere is fantastic. This neighborhood really needed this!“

“We’d got pre-dinner drink and love the Sticky Ribs.“

“Made a last minute decision to stop in and get coffee and a couple doughnuts. Loved the atmosphere and how clean it was in the restaurant. Would definitely recommend to anyone, the pricing was more than reasonable for 2 coffees and 2 doughnuts. Less than $10 for all 4 items. Will definitely visit again!“

“That's where you get coffee and donuts when you want to pay outrageous but nonetheless I've been going there for a lot of years and it's decent The atmosphere could be better in the service could be way better but overall okay“

“Friendly staff, great prices and the yummiest smoothies! I give 10 stars!“

“I was in the Maine Mall, desperately searching for somewhere that would have hot water to warm up a bottle for my newborn - having forgotten my thermos at home. The owner (who, from the reviews, must be Ram) was kind enough to set me up with hot water in a metal pitcher that was the perfect size for my bottle. He was so kindhearted, not even giving me an option to leave a tip on the payment screen. And the raspberry boba tea was excellent.

It is rare to find such excellent customer service, kindness, and empathy from a stranger. It made my day. And, based on other reviews, I am not alone in my experience. Please take care Ram - sending you my appreciation!“

“In a random twist of events, we found ourselves looking for a bite to eat on our way to our hotel in South Portland. We decided to look in the less crowded area of town and happened upon Bread and Olive. The dishes were mostly tapas sized. All of the ingredients seemed fresh and homemade. We had the bread and olives for an appetizer, the Mediterranean Flatbread and the grilled cheese... all of which were delicious. The homemade sourdough was absolutely delectable. The best part about the dishes being smaller is that we had room for dessert, which was a bundt cake. Lastly, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We highly recommend Bread and Olive!!!“

“I am amazed at how the staff at the Gray location,remember an order, I'll start the order and every single one of the young ladies on Several different days,would say is this for Montray? And we'll yes it is.. and then tell me how much they like him.. and written notes on his coffee cup, I have to say amazing customer service, and hope soon I say HI, and they say, got your medium extra extra... a big recommend from me!!!! just for the smiles, customer service, and amazing attitudes of service!!!“

“First time visiting. Only a 20-minute wait. Next time, I will call ahead and get my name on the list. We had the Crab Cake Benedict, which was full of crab and flavor. The only thing I can say that a little disappointing was the Hollandaies sauce, which is very thin and runny with no flavor. The potatoes were crispy and well spiced, a great portion for the meal.“

“Great local spot, fantastic sandwiches, great fancy coffees, and there's no way that you'll be burdened with too much leftover money after paying for it. High quality though, and the ambiance is great. Super annoying they don't take cash, and I'm looking forward to someday seeing someone in their for their first time melting down over that, that'll be a good show! I dig the local art, and craft made hats/stickers/etc they offer too, which helps connect local artists to the market--pretty rad!“

“Oh no? They mean oh YES! What a great experience. Unassuming inside and out. Simple but elegant menu. We ordered four different sandwiches and each was absolutely delicious. Great service. They have a surprisingly diverse wine selection and an uncommonly large selection of imported beer (plus a few local craft beers). This is a great option for eat-in (small space, though) or carryout. Give it a shot.“

“Very friendly and very yummy“

“Busy but well stocked…

We arrived at 11am on a Sunday and I was surprised they had lots of baked goods available including bagels. Honestly the chocolate chip Cookie was the standout item for me. They are super efficient.

They have cute merch too.“

“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.“
