33 Best Coffee Shops in Portland

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

“Meilleur oatmeal EVER parfait petit café🤘🏼“

“Excellent coffee. Reasonably priced.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Love this spot! Love the cheap grilled 🧀“

“I have been buying 5 lb batches of Alonzos Double Dark for years now and I am so impressed with the coffee and the customer service. Top Notch! Thanks for all you do and I highly recommend the delicious beans.“

“This was a cute place to sit and chat! The inside space is small, and be warned- there are very few outlets, so this is not a great place to work or study. Other than that, the service was quick and baristas were friendly, and my dirty chai tasted amazing. I would definitely recommend stopping by to spend an hour or two to hang out.“

“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!“

“Stumbled upon this cute coffee shop walking around! We stopped in for a cold brew and we were pleasantly surprised by the extremely nice staff and affordable cannabis products. Would definitely recommend and return next time we make our way back to Portland!“

“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❤️❤️“

“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!!“

“Wow! Some of the best doughnuts I’ve ever had! They were a gift to me and I would most definitely be going to get more whenever I get a chance!“

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

“Love coming here for coffee and pastries with my friends. Now they send me photos of them going by themselves or with their loved ones 😌 Onggi makes Portland a better place!“

“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 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!!“

“Wonderful coffee and barista!“

“Adorable little cafe with cozy vibes and delicious coffee. My cozyside latte was so good. I also really appreciate their commitment to eco-friendliness. All of their disposable items are compostable, the trash cans are all compost bins, and the for here cups are reusable glasses. So many places only serve their coffee in disposable cups so I have a lot of love for the places that still serve coffee in real glassware“

“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“

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

“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 ❤️“

“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!!“

“So, I'll say, Wowww, as I lick my fingers after my last three mini donuts from heaven! We found 88 donut after finishing at Highrollers around the corner and made another stop the next day before returning to Boston. Bite-sized, hot, made to order and a complete party in your mouth. These can be addictive 😍
I live in DC and looked to see if they shipped :) but they don't. Check them out if you're in the area.“

“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!“

“I'm a gluten free vegetarian so food options are usually really limited for me. These waffles were so good I couldn't believe they were gluten free. They have BBQ jackfruit and tofu as substitutions for all their meat too! I got the gluten free strawberry waffles with BBQ jackfruit and home fries. It was super yummy. I didn't love the BBQ jackfruit but my baby devoured it and wanted it over the waffles or fries so I'm betting it's a matter of preference“

“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“
