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 😉“

“It's definitely a dive bar, but it has a wonderful view of the beach. Fast and courteous service. The food was plentiful and delicious. Worth the money. Get the Tex Mex nachos. You won't be disappointed. Alcoholic beverage was strong and delicious.“

“Meilleur oatmeal EVER parfait petit café🤘🏼“

“Excellent coffee. Reasonably priced.“

“The Gelato Fiasco was a nice surprise to enjoy an ice cream at the end of the evening. The flavors offered are varied and original, and the waiter, particularly kind that evening, took the time to let us taste those that intrigued us the most. Thanks to his advice, we found our favorite perfumes. Ideally located, it is a perfect address for a delicious dessert outside of a restaurant. Despite the cold, tasting this ice cream was a real pleasure. A big thank you to the waiter for his welcome and his kindness, which made the experience even better!“

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

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

“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.“

“From top to bottom, everything they serve is thoughtful and incredible! You will NOT regret going, it is life changing literally. 🤍“

“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.“

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

“Love this spot! Love the cheap grilled 🧀“

“Quite literally the best latte I’ve ever had in my life! 😍 Smoked maple rosemary latte“

“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 most amazing avocado toast! Don’t miss out🥑“

“Definitely recommend trying the maple latte! ☕️😄“

“I had a great experience at Buzz Coffee. I ordered a Hot Chai Tea Latte with Almond Milk, which was delicious! Their chai tea is one of the best in the area. They were more than happy to use my reusable cup. It is cozy and tucked away from the bustling streets of Portland’s Old Port and the cold weather outside. Seems like a great place to curl up with a good book, write or study. Thanks Buzz Coffee!

Dietary restrictions: Almond Milk is available“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Was absolutely amazing food! The two girls working there were amazing as well super nice and friendly! Will be going back during the summer and recommend anyone out that way to try it.“

“Very tasty breakfast and drinks! I stopped in while visiting from Vermont and ordered a breakfast BLT and maple chai latte and thoroughly enjoyed all of it. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable and the staff was very friendly. Thank you, Tyler!“

“Eighty-8 donuts catered a sweet breakfast the morning after our wedding at French’s Point in Stockton Springs, ME. Despite a cold November morning, they were absolutely amazing and our guests loved the hot and fresh mini donuts and coffee we sent them off with. They even had to-go boxes prepared so our friends and family could bring their favorite flavors home. This was the perfect way to end our wedding weekend! 10/10 would highly recommend their food truck for any event or large gathering, it was such a hit!“

“Fabulous new cafe in SoPo! Our daughter, who lives nearby, suggested we stop in and it was a very good suggestion, indeed!!
We get to Portland for visits fairly often and are so happy that Lana opened this really special place. She’s nailing it as far as we’re concerned. Second Rodeo has a warmly eclectic decor that feels comfortable and inviting. To date we’ve had a couple of Matcha Lattes, a Chai, and more than a few regular lattes. All so delicious and beautifully presented. London Fog to come!! Today was also the day to try an egg sandwich with avocado on an English muffin. Delicious! And like the place itself it was warm, toasty, and quintessentially comforting! Lana’s staff is lovely. Engaging, calm, and efficient. The place was bustling when we got there today and they had our order ready for us soon after we were seated.
Second Rodeo has such a wonderful neighborhood vibe and I can tell by the happy faces and friendly chatter that folks are more than happy to soak it all in!
Well done Lana and Co.!!“

“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.“

“STARBU…..WHO? I’ll take an Aroma Joes anytime after this. No political stickers, just good coffee served by some motivated, polite young people who were working fast and efficiently. Coffee is cheaper than THAT OTHER PLACE…skcibrats.Go to Aroma Joes. Thank me later.“

“When only the best will do!!! Cheers“

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

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

“My wife, kids, and I came into the coffee shop this morning shortly after opening for a black coffee and some hot chai tea. My oldest daughter asked the gentleman behind counter about the "Ungrinch" beverage and it's ingredients. The gentleman proceeded to give my daughter the beverage for free, despite our insistence that we pay. My kids were incredibly grateful and it absolutely made their day. It was very generous and kind of the gentleman and I hope he realized the joy it brought to my kids day.“

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

“Features: No mask mandate in place for city they are located

Kid-friendliness: There's no alcohol,and plenty of donuts kiddos love donuts ,and the specialty drinks/ smoothies they offer..and let us not forget the donut hole munchkins❤️❤️“

“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.“

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

“Starbucks was so good I tried there unicorn Frappe for the second time and it still tasted good“

“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...“

“Best staff! I will literally drive up to 20 mins out of my way to stop at this Starbucks rather then the others ones. I have a very complicated drink( I’m literally the worst )and this is the only one that never messes it up and greats me happily every-time and knows my name.This Starbucks remind me of the cheers bar (?you wanna go where everybody knows your name ?) staff is very demure“

“I do not support this place. They are closed today due to lack of staff. They fired me via text because I have health problems. However I would have gone in and saved their butts today if they just gave me my job back“

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

“Their coffee beats Dunks by miles!Can't speak to the atmosphere because I'm always going through the drive thru. Service has always been the best. No matter what location I go to there is a line but they always make sure they get your order correct. Local and not a national chain is appealing as well!“

“Great donuts and very friendly staff. Portland store.“

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

“It was a terribly rainy day so we stopped for some donuts and coffee. Jada was very friendly and patient with me while we figured out our order. The employees aren’t allowed to take tips and I think that should change but I will definitely be back if I’m in the area again!“

“I absolutely love the morning opener myal !!!Hope I got it correctly I go there daily and she is absolutely the best person she’s so sweet , kind Funny and always I mean always makes my drink perfect!!!!! She just is and absolutely delight to go there at 4:30 in the morning and see a kind smiling face“

“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“
