Chicken Sandwich

“I went to this store for the first time of tuesday afternoon this week. I'm not from the area and had gotten lost. My phone was not charged so I didn't have a GPS to help me find my way to where I was going. I'm a single mom and I was getting worried. A gentleman there by the name of James saw how worried I was and asked what was wrong. I explained my situation. Even though he was busy he took the time and actually wrote down every turn or exit I needed to take, he literally wrote step by step what I had to do to get me and my young children home safely. I can't even begin to express how much this meant to me, because of his kindness we made it home safe. It's workers like James that make businesses great. This store is lucky to have someone who not only does his job but goes beyond that and helps others without regard of being recognized.“

Like, I get that some people consider coffee to be a meal, some of us actually need food to be able to function. PMA Cafe, while the prices are a tad bit higher than what im used to paying, had excellent food and an attentive server.“

Terrarium Cafe •
98 Cross St N Suite A, Portland - 1.42 miles

“My husband and I traveled from the Ellworth Maine area to both build terrariums and look for a plant that has been on my bucket list for some time. This place did not dissapoint even remotely! We built 2 amazing terrariums without any knowledge about them going into it and came home with a Thai constellation Monstera and a baby pitcher plant! It was one of the most fun and grounding expierences of my life. All of the staff and the owner were so helpful, knowledgeable and passionate about it all! I wish I lived closer as I would frequent this place often just for the people and atmosphere alone! Words can describe how special of a place they have and I hope to see it continue to thrive for years to come. I have a mobility disability and getting around many places in a wheelchair can be a challenge but their set up makes it easy to get around and the staff are so ready and willing to assist in all of the things. If accessibility is a concern for you dont let it be! I want to give a big heartfelt thank you to the staff and owner for this amazing expierence (and a thank you for the happy birthday note in my monstera ❤️).“

Atmosphere was pretty nice although when we went, ICE was outside the strip mall, and its not necessarily Panera's fault but it made the atmosphere very uncomfortable.“
