50 Best Coffee Shops near Old Orchard Beach

“Staff are great! Especially the beautiful woman working today that gave my German Shepard Baja a treat. Thanks again 😉“

“Food was mediocre. The taco chicken was a bit dry but the sweet chili sauce on the tacos gave it more flavor. Service was slow, we ended up getting our food before our drink which was odd. It was clearly a busy day though.
What I love about this place is the atmosphere. It’s a boat shaped restaurant and you can sit in the back on the sand and they had live music all day (on a Saturday) which was what made us stay there so long.“

“Meilleur oatmeal EVER parfait petit café🤘🏼“

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

“Excellent coffee. Reasonably priced.“

“GF has a variety of unique and delicious flavors. Our favorites were Peanut Butter, Espresso Chip and Strawberry Balsamic, but everything we tried had bold flavors and plenty of chips, etc. We also visited the Brunswick store, which I recommend for the most flavor choices. You can't go wrong though at Gelato Fiasco!“

“Love the vibes of this little coffee shop. The coffees I have tried have been amazing and I witnessed a difficult customer last time I went in and the employee that handled it, did so with grace and patience. Very impressive customer service.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Awesome breakfast sandwiches! By far the best breakfast I had in New England. A true Portland hidden gem.“

“We're from out of town and thought the concept of this place was intriguing- ended up loving it! Sipped on some delicious hot chocolate at the window side bar area while my husband shopped for some Christmas pre rolls. Life is good here :)“

“We came here for coffee. Coffee is among the best! The milk foam of latte is very creamy. Croissant is okay. We ordered to go, the paper cup has high quality as well. Host is fast, professional and friendly. Will definitely come back and recommend to everyone“

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

“I was in town visiting family and this was one of the places that they said I had to try. Was not disappointed, food, service and coffee was exceptional. The coffee was some of the best I have ever had. Very cool people and very cool laid back vibe.“

“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!“

“Rating: 4.3/5

Buzz Coffee is a small basement coffee shop with rotating seasonal drinks.

Iced Matcha Lemonade ($5 for 24 oz) + Lavender Syrup ($0.65): This was better than most versions we've tried, though this type of drink has never quite hit the mark for us. The lemonade wasn't sour—more like a sparkling lemonade. The lavender added a nice sweetness that blended in without being overpowering.

S'mores Iced Latte ($6.50 for 24 oz + Oat Milk $0.75): One of the best s'mores iced lattes I've had. The espresso was strong and bold but not overwhelming, which I loved. Sweet but not overly sweet. The menu listed chocolate cold foam, but it tasted more like marshmallow to me. Overall, a well-balanced drink where all the flavors worked cohesively, yet you could still pick out each note. It helped me stay awake all day for the long 5-hour drive I had to do.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Love this spot! Love the cheap grilled 🧀“

“What a cute Cafe! Food and drinks were great! Locally owned and another business named after their dog, you can't go wrong there! 🐶“

“Awesome breakfast food , pastries, and daily lunch specials. Many different coffee and tea offerings. One of our favorites in Kennebunk / Arundel area.“

“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 ❤️“

“Sweet girls and fantastic coffee!“

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

“Adorable vibes and the donuts were 11/10. Stopped with our kids and tried the cookies and cream. Possibly the best donuts I’ve ever had. They are mini and you have to order in packs of 6 with one flavor. I wish they did a flight so you can try different ones without committing to a few boxes. Cost is reasonable as well!“

“without question the best breakfast sandwich I ever had. honey ham egg and habanero bacon jam with Gouda on a jalapeno cheddar biscuit.... 🥳“

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

“We had the passing of an older relative. I was desperately trying to plan an after services luncheon for a small group of about 30 people. It was nearly impossible . The owner of Cat Face Cafe was incredibly kind and understanding and accommodated us by closing a little bit early and allowing us to do a buyout. He was very fair and reasonable with the cost and so accommodating. I cannot stress what an excellent job he and his team did. The food was delicious, the place was perfect for our group and it was nice to celebrate our family member in such a cozy comfortable spot. Everyone was thrilled with ordering special coffees and having the unique sandwiches and delicious salads. I should add that this was all done with 48 hour notice. I wish we lived in town so that I could support this business. Great food, yummy drinks, kind staff and comfy environment. Support Cat Face Cafe! Thank you all again :)“

“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.“

“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!“

“So it’s so difficult for me to right this because the staff here in scarborough are beyond fantastic and always have been and I am a loyal client who goes there every single day. What is really disappointing is I have complained about the extreme over growth of weeds around the sign, building, drive thru and coming through the patio that just looks terrible but also rubs up against your vehicle when driving thru the drive thru and when I complained before the weeds and messy landscaping was addressed but what upsetting and disappointing is that whom every is in charge of making sure this stuff is being tending sue does a terrible job and to be aesthetics and presence is everything and though I love the staff and I live in scarborough I hate driving thru this Starbucks because it truly looks trashy with the overgrowth and trash in visible site“

“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!!“

“The ‘go to’ place for coffee, eats & conversation. Friendly, professional, competent staff. Always feel welcome here.“

“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...“

“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!“

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

“Incredible, absolutely incredible. Eldon was so friendly and helpful and proactively so, my order came together and was made so quickly, the set up they have at the drive thru is optimal, and of course everything is delicious.

Do me a favor and look back two reviews of mine. I'm not exaggerating I actually think the experience relative to the one I had the other day is some kind of cosmic or karmic coalescence or realignment. The entire experience was, from the beginning to the end, the exact opposite of what happened at the other location. I'm now an aroma Joe's fan for life. This might be the best frappe I've ever had, I cannot wait to bite into this everything bagel, just an all around great experience. i didn't know it was a chain, I'm happy I spotted it would I was driving! And now I know for sure it was just that terrifyingly maladjusted mad madam mim at that other place who is scaring off the customers. Shame this is my second aroma Joe's order not my first, but c'est la vie. Looking forward to more drinks and bites to eat. Thanks y'all!!

And to Eldon-- thank you again so much for helping me and actively handing me the menu and explaining everything, and sorry and thanks also for rushing me in literally the nicest way possible 😭 I was totally taking up time and holding up the line, my bad, you were a rockstar. and to the peoplei didn't get to meet in the back who made my order, thank you so so much and kudos on a java well done 🙏🫡“

“I never leave less than 5 stars but I think it’s good for people to know this is not a great spot for food. Cafe and atmosphere is stunning and a great place to enjoy an espresso. We spent $40 on two lattes and two breakfast sandwiches which I think is normal price for a cafe however, the breakfast sandwich was disappointing. Bagel wasn’t cooked and egg was microwaved. Still a lovely spot but wouldn’t recommend spending the money on food.“

“Outstanding fare; courteous, professional staff; charming atmosphere; a must—highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Everyone is always very pleasant here no matter how busy they are. It's a nice part of my day. I was purchasing a cup thru the drive thru and other locations had been a bit annoyed as I was taking up more time but here the employee answered my questions and even double checked on second thought. Enjoy coming here :) they also have the good ice“

“I love this location and the staff. They are sooo sweet and friendly, they always know my go to rushes, either a blue Hawaiian or beach bum with extra pineapple. they make me smile all the time and I love seeing them bright and early before i go into work. One morning, one of them wrote "happy Saturday :)" and I didn't realize it until I drove off and the little things like that make it for me. I wish I knew her name😬 shout to her though!! Jill is also a sweetheart and I love the 10-15 sec convos we have. Thank you guys!! Love yall💛“

“My experience today made my day so much better. We came through for a midday pick me up and the girl at the window was so sweet. She complimented my rings and then she wrote this on my cup in response to me saying one was my engagement ring! How cute! 🥺🖤 I was having a roughhhh morning, so thank you“

“So happy to find a Starbucks. I’m from CA and I’m us to being able to go to Starbucks everywhere I go. Here not very many so I was so happy when I saw tour location.“

“My favorite DnD always can get the same Coffee twice the regular staff is amazing ❤️“

“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.“

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

“I frequent the Saco Starbucks and it never disappoints. Today was especially great! Chala provided such excellent and friendly support....even though I always complicate my order. She quickly provided me with exactly what I wanted....a hot, vanilla, protein, latte...skinny. Which is apparently not a real thing, but she made it so with a few work arounds. She delivered my food and beverage to my table and made sure I was happy with the drink. Very pleasant and helpful and made the experience great! Thank you so much.“
