A block off the beaten path, yet completely worthy of the stop!…read more Deliciously crafted caffeinated beverages, freshly baked pastries, and decadent wraps, grilled cheeses and savory soups. The Orange Cat Cafe had it all!! The customer service was excellent and the food was delicious. The grateful wrap was a Thanksgiving feast tribute with savory flavors that lingered on the tongue. The broccoli and cheese soup was filling and a large bowl sized portion, and the grilled cheese was to die for!! 10/10 - Add this to your top places to take a load off, enjoy a chill environment, and get a great meal/drink/treat that is much deserved!

We had the jalapeño chicken wrap - flavorful and fresh. Wish there was a bit more jalapeño flavor. The ginger cookie had an intense and delicious ginger flavor, and the lemon filling was smooth not bitter as lemon foods can sometimes be. Will definitely get this one again and again!

From the moment you walk into Gemini, you know you're in for something special. This bakery-café…read morehas quickly become one of my favorite destinations I'd happily drive hours just to visit again. The breads and pastries here are absolutely outstanding. Their Anadama bread was rich and flavorful, with a perfect crust and texture that kept me coming back for more, and the sourdough bagels were simply too good to pass up ; crisp outside, chewy inside, and full of character. Every bite feels like a celebration: flaky pastries, artisanal naturally leavened bread, and thoughtful flavor combinations that make it a true bakery destination. The coffee pairs beautifully with the baked goods -- and they even sell locally roasted coffee from a woman-owned roaster in nearby Greenwood, which adds a wonderful Maine-made touch to the experience. Service is warm and friendly, and the cozy, welcoming atmosphere makes you want to sit down with a latte and savor every last bite. If you ever find yourself in Bethel, this gem of a bakery is absolutely worth the trip -- it's one of those places that leaves you already planning your next visit.

I can see why this place has a 4.8 star rating. Great lunch place in Bethel, Maine. I had their…read morePastrami on Rye which is excellent! That bread was fantastic. It added more flair and flavor to an already good sandwich. They have other really good sandwiches along with a nice display of freshly baked goods. They have plenty of indoor along with some outdoor seating. If you're passing through and want a quick bite, this is the place! Love their name!

I visited for the first time recently and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience…read more We arrived around 6:00 PM and placed our order right away--two macaroni and cheese dishes and a soup. By 6:45 PM, our food still hadn't come out, and we had to ask for it to be packaged to go so we wouldn't miss a movie across the street. What made this especially frustrating was that there were only two other tables in the restaurant--one already had food, and the other was served while we were still waiting. Because of the delay, our food sat in the car during the movie. When we finally ate later that evening, both macaroni and cheese dishes were extremely disappointing--lacking flavor and ultimately inedible. I brought the soup home to try the next day, and it was just as disappointing. It was mostly potatoes, many of which were undercooked and still crunchy, and I even found what appeared to be a small piece of burnt wood in it. Overall, I spent about $80 on three items that were significantly delayed and very poor in quality. I will say, the ginger cookies were delicious--that was the one highlight. I did reach out privately to give the restaurant an opportunity to respond before posting this review, but did not receive a reply. Really unfortunate experience, especially for a first visit.
