"Your breath is sweet Your eyes are like two jewels in the…read moresky Your back is straight, your hair is smooth On the pillow where you lie One more cup of coffee for the road One more cup of coffee before I go" (Bob Dylan) Some of my friends gifted me with a basket of Maine goodies after we all served on a charity committee for a few years. In the basket was a 12-ounce bag of ground coffee from Maine's Katahdin Coffee Company. After a few cups, I realized I was drinking some of the very best coffee I ever had in my long coffee drinking life. It had been a very long time since we used ground coffee, because we converted to K Cups years ago (don't hassle me about the environment because we empty out and recycle all those plastic pods). We used one of those "make your own K Cup" plastic/mesh baskets that was banished to a kitchen cabinet for many years, scooped in a few spoonfuls of Katahdin and brewed it in our K Cup machine. My Katahdin coffee was a Medium/Dark variety known as "Baxter Blend". The flavor ran rings around everything else we have in the house. Yes, it was a zillion times better than what I normally drink. Katahdin is sold in quite a few Maine grocery stores and through their website. The website has offerings in 10-ounce, 12-ounce, and 2-lb bags, with choices of ground or whole bean across a few different flavors including Breakfast Blend, Breakfast Blend Decaf, Baxter Blend, French Roast, Maine Whoopie Pie, Hazelnut and Maine Blueberry Pie. Yes, we will be sending out a mail order as soon as we use up every last ground of coffee in that 12-ounce bag.

Olive oil and vinegar are available for purchase. You can sample these before buying. I loved the boutique environment of the coffee roasters. I ordered a blueberry scone (which was warmed) and iced coffee. A nice touch were the coffee ice cubes. Definitely stop in for a quick breakfast or stay awhile to find the perfect Maine souvenirs!

The kind where you can actually taste the care, the balance, and the craft instead of just "strong bean water." Every cup here feels intentional--from the roast to the pour to the presentation. You can tell this isn't just caffeine delivery; it's people who genuinely love coffee dialing in the details. Smooth, complex, clean finish, no burnt bitterness hiding behind sugar and syrup. Dangerous place, honestly. Once you start drinking coffee like this, the average cup starts tasting like hot regret.

We walked in and were greeted almost immediately by a very kind gentleman, he walked us through the process of getting k cups. You tell them what you want and they reach into the bins and collect them for you. The price is great, I can't speak for the bags of coffee, but the k cups are 60 cents each, which I think is a great deal! We were able to walk out with 20 k cups, at least 10 different flavors for cheaper than a 12 pack would be at the local grocery store for one flavor.

Plenty of street parking right out front so no issues on that aspect. Stepping inside you are welcomed to a lot of art on the walls and an overall rustic feel to the space. They have a good amount of space for you to sit and enjoy your drink and food which we did. Service was friendly and quick by staff who made it a welcoming space. They have a huge menu so everyone will find their drink and possibly flavor to make them happy. Including a variety of seasonal special flavors. My wife and I both ended up going with their iced gingerbread mocha and both got their breakfast sandwich The Works. The sandwich was a sausage egg and cheese with spinach and tomato. A well made tasty sandwich, although some may find it has too much spinach on it. I think despite already being a sandwich with a lot some avocado spread would be a perfect addition. Drink wise they had good flavor and you can taste the high quality of the coffee used. First time stopping here but look forward to revisiting in the future and will search for their beans for coffee at home for sure!

Unfortunately there are not alot of coffee places around Mount Roberts, especially none that were open at 3pm on a Thursday. So YELP to the rescue and what a sweet one it was! Lucas Roasting Company is a small bisiness tucked away in Wolfboro. Pretty standard coffee drinks but #IYKYK - some of the best coffee comes from small roasting companies. I ended up with a delicous iced coffee and took some canned nitro back with me to CT. This year - again we hiked up (and down) Mount Roberts but this year it was H O T - so it was a no brainer where to head to for some caffine and cooling off. This year I met who I think was one of the owners who gave me the origin story (they are originally from VA) and told me that they have been open for a bit over 3 years. There was no cold brew in the cooler but this time it was a Nitro Cold Brew that was ordered and consumed before we made it back to our lodgings. I wish they were closer but it's good to know that they are "just down the road" from my yearly hiking venue.
