After 1hr and 45 minutes of waiting for our food, promises that the food is coming from the poor waitress, no food. The restaurant was emptying out. Mind you, this is for two plates of scrambled eggs, toast and home fries. This was the attitude directly from the owner to the waitress. The owner could have cared less. The worst treatment I've ever experienced from a breakfast joint. I'll never go again and would advise people to not go as well. 0 out of 10 rating. The waitress was apologetic and frankly embarrassed by the owner's attitude.

After visiting another nearby spot for food/baked goods we wanted to try a new to us coffee spot…read moreand this was nearby so worked perfectly. I will say they appear to have their baked goods as well as many different food options like sandwiches but my review is strictly for the coffee. Once you enter to the right is all the different seating with a good variety of tables and chairs but also some more comfy choices like couches. Quite a large space inside and a handful of tables outside to enjoy the nice weather. You order at the counter and then they have a spot further down where they'll call out your name for both food and drinks. They had a section on the menu called the MET Artistic Lattes which was their version of specialty flavored lattes. This caught our eyes. My wife went with the Falcon Pride (chocolate & white chocolate latte) and I went with the Vanilla Bean Dream (white chocolate & vanilla). Drink wise they were both pretty good! Didn't become a new favorite coffee spot but good enough we would return if we found ourselves in the area looking for coffee again. To have a real strong opinion I would need to return and try some of the food rather than just the coffee.

Since Cobblestone opened, I have been there several times. I've had the Spiced Chai French Toast,…read morewhich was delicious, as well as their cappuccino, Orange Cardamom Latte, and Masala Chai. Everything has been excellent, and the service has been friendly and fantastic. I absolutely recommend it--it's a welcome addition to have a local coffee and breakfast spot on this side of South Portland.

Get thee to Cobblestone! Trust me, the hype is real!!…read more Taj has an excellent reputation around these parts, and for great reason - their authentic Indian cuisine is arguably the best in the area, and this new venture of theirs into cafe/coffeeshop is an absolute triumph! I came just a week or two after their grand opening. At 8:30am on a Friday morning, the place was getting packed. You can head straight to the counter for to-go orders, or find a spot to sit and a server will take care of you. I chose to sit outside as it was a beautiful day. My server came quickly and was super nice, giving recommendations when I was crestfallen that the breakfast burrito was out of stock. No matter, she assured me, the avocado toast is wonderful. That was an understatement. It is the best avocado toast I've ever had. The sourdough is thick, fluffy, tangy, amazing. The egg on top must be farm fresh because the yolk was bright orange and perfectly runny. The rest of the toppings were mind-blowingly tasty, I have no words for how unique the flavors were - like a party on a plate. I couldn't stop eating it. For a beverage, I opted for the orange cardamom latte. I've been trying to avoid dairy, and I so appreciated the offer to switch to oat milk instead. One sip of this baby and my eyes rolled back - how is this so delicious?? Not cloyingly sweet, but rich and packed with flavor. The cardamom and orange play so well with each other, it's a match made in heaven! The pastries here look beautiful and delicious. I can't wait to try to breakfast burrito, as it is allegedly made with house-made paratha instead of a tortilla. The menu is so thoughtful and unique, you can tell it was made with great care. The space itself is modern but welcoming, and the care is shown in little touches like the layout of the restrooms. It's a space that says - come in. It's nice to see you. Stay while, will you? And it's impossible to refuse.

The sourdough bread used for salmon and avocado toasts are too hard at the edges, I was afraid I was going to chip a tooth, The toppings taste good, but they need to improve on the actual toast (either get a better bread or don't over-toast it). The breakfast bowl is good. The smoothies take a horribly long time! The ambience is good overall, but they do need to clean or replace their upholstered chairs. Some of them are stained and some sink too much.

However, the second day I got an iced chai with oatmilk and was pretty disappointed. I know chai is different at every coffee shop but this one was so spicy and had a thick gritty texture at the bottom of my latte and I actually couldn't drink it. But def would come back for the coffee and good vibes!

They advertise themselves as all day cafe/bar and market. The vibes were perfect with an overall cozy and welcoming feel. It seemed like a spot many regulars come to often as the workers appeared to know many people who came through! They have a bar with roughly 8 seats, along with some tables. With the back of the store having goodies to buy including candles, self-care items, wines, drinks, and more. Worth browsing before or after your drinks and food. We snagged two bar stools and were immediately greeted and served water along with a menu. All three staff members were friendly and made us feel welcome. Drink wise my wife got an iced mocha while I saw their drink special of the month on social media and had to try it. Named The Blue Rose with Butterfly pea flower, cardamom rose, whole milk, pebble ice and espresso on top. A photo-worthy beverage with a delicious flavor. I would keep coming back for this drink for sure if it were a permanent menu item! Food wise my wife and I both got a breakfast sandwich, only difference she got bacon while I got the impossible sausage. Well made and delicious sandwiches that would make us return as well. I do wish they would have been a little bigger though. If our visit today was any indication of the typical my wife and I would gladly return! Friendly service in a great setting with well made food and drinks. Need to return to give their cocktails a try! A standout space in Portland.

It was alright, but I probably wouldn't get it again. I do appreciate that they have simple syrup and honey syrup out so you can adjust the sweetness to your liking. Food: Plenty of vegan options, and they even have vegan eggs available for a small upcharge. I got the habanero ham biscuit sandwich. The biscuit was flaky, with ham and cheese, and the habanero ham had a pretty good kick that really hit by the end! Good portion size and tasty. They also have donuts, smoothies, and plenty of other options, so there's something for everyone. Highly recommend!

I ordered the Garden Sprout ($9), a breakfast bagel sandwich with veggie sandwich, tomato, avocado, alfalfa sprouts, and vegan chive cream cheese on a choice of bagel. Luckily, it only took 20 minutes for the bagel to come out. The sausage was overcooked, to the point of being almost charred, but still tasty; the cream cheese--if it was that--seemed more like excessive butter (there was a pool of butter-like substance underneath). But other than that, the food was decent. I appreciate the vegan option, notwithstanding the aforementioned aspects that could be improved.
