What an amazing super cool way to repurpose the old bank !! Great job there !! Now coffee and bakery / food choices are good but have become just average !!! Not saying it's bad by no means still good !!! And the menu has been simplifyed ,meaning less to select from !!! And prices skyrocketed !!! But that has happened everywhere!!! When they were across the street I truly got the best cup of coffee just black and a cinnamon raisin bagel toasted with CC I ever had !!! And last time I was there staff said they don't offer bagels any more !? The staff is very helpful and try very hard to get order correct and efficiently to you but there just understaffed all the times I go now and it takes a long time to get a black coffee !! I do hope this is just some kinks there working out in the new location ,and I'm sure it is , and in time will get back to the way it was, over all I like it at fairgrounds very much ,and look fwd to going there ,and would recommend going .

First off let me say i WANT this new location to succeed because it has a great atmosphere and the product offered is needed in the area. I tried calling many times to give the owner my feedback privately but they never answer the phone and have no voice mail. So unfortunately I need to leave my feedback here online. My wife and i visited on a Sunday morning and my wife was so eager to see the new location and ask how things were going. She asked the staff member how it was going and she barely responded and gave the impression she really didn't care to talk about it (even thought there was no line of customers). So my wife just took the hint from the worker and ordered an espresso and muffin. Unfortunately, the espresso was almost flavorless and the muffin was honestly horrible. They have better muffins at the Nouria gas station 500' away. I would think that they could find a bakery supplier better than the one the local gas station uses. The building and atmosphere is amazing so they have a great canvass to work with, but if they want people to support them, as i'm sure the overhead of the beautiful location is expensive, I suggest making the coffee and food a step far above what they have started with so far. That's why the 302 across the street has a line out the door every night and why Beth's Coffee Shop in Bridgton has a line every morning. The food and or coffee is amazing. As far as the phone line, I am instinctively leery of a business where you cannot reach the owner. That's a big disconnect to me. I wish you luck in the new adventure and I truly hope you succeed.

Awesome space, creative and simple in a way that I’m sure was not simple to build and design. A coffee shop this good and cozy is exactly what Fryeburg needs. Delighted this exists, and hope to be going here for a long time.

Just visited the new location and I’m obsessed. The building is incredible. I love the bank elements that are now incorporated into the super cool, chill atmosphere. I will be stopping in whenever I’m in fryeburg. Delicious cappuccinos and I’d recommend their homemade pop tarts.

This coffee shop used to be a savings bank and they left the bank vault inside when the bank moved out. The vault is now open to the public so you can see what the inside of a bank vault looks like. It's really cool and unusual. The coffee drinks are good, too!

Excellent service, great space, not great coffee. Got a medium maple latte and it had no coffee or maple flavor at all. Basically just drinking hot milk. The cider donut was delicious though.

The new location (across the street from the previous) is beautiful and clearly a ton of time was put into renovating the space...Great coffee and very kind people, AND a really cool old bank vault to check out while you're there too!

Latte was tasty, but not very hot. Burrito was expensive, small, and microwaved. Straight from a frozen package, I'm guessing. Biscuit thing was dry, definitely needed butter and maybe to be warmed up too. Upstairs the heatpumps were blowing cold air, so downstairs was the only choice to be warm enough. That's OK, though, since there aren't any tables upstairs to put down your drink and food. I'm sure they'll work it out, but it's got some growing pains to get through.
