50 Best Coffee Shops near Old Orchard Beach

“Had a dress suit on and she gave us the drinks and the coffee cup had a leak she even told us that, and spilt all over my dress pants. Was not happy and of course another dry cleaning. Next time serve hot drinks in a good cup better yet dont tell me your sending it to“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Great community partners to collaborate with!“

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

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

“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 service & great food!!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Awesome Cafe with delicious food & great service! Check this place out!!“

“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.“

A Perfect Brew and Bite at Time and Tide Coffee!

If you're on the hunt for the ultimate coffee experience, look no further than Time and Tide Coffee. This cozy gem serves up a pistachio coffee that's nothing short of magical. The nutty richness combined with their expertly brewed coffee is a symphony for the taste buds. It's like sipping a hug in a mug!

It's a delightful mix of creamy avocado goodness on perfectly toasted bread, topped with just the right amount of seasoning. Each bite is a crunchy, savory delight that complements the smooth pistachio coffee perfectly.

The atmosphere at Time and Tide is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax, work, or catch up with friends. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready with a smile. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or just in need of a caffeine fix, this place is a must-visit.

Don't miss out on this incredible combo – it's a taste adventure you won't forget!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 “

“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.“

“Found this gem while vacationing in Scarborough. It was delicious. Breakfast sandwiches, hash browns, coffee and smoothies all great. Sweet girls working there and great customer service.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.!!“

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

“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.“

“This place is awesome! The barista's are great, friendly, and knowledgeable. Whenever I go there - I get an iced chai and a egg/avocado breakfast sandwich and its made to perfection! Shout out to the great manager/asst manager team of Pamela and Kelly - always had great interactions with them, as well as Sarah! 5/5 stars.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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❤️❤️“

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

“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“

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

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

“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!“

“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“
