    Tea menu

    When you walk in you are surrounded by support of the local community, from the local recipe box, to help needed ads, and even local vendor products! They have a great assortment of drinks you can choose from. I decided to do a Wild Maine Blueberry Iced Tea. When they mentioned molasses as a sweetener option, I knew I had to try it. As a result, the drink had the perfect amount of sweetness, but also a nice blueberry flavor! I paired it with a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie and it was the perfect combo on a sunny fall day :) I highly recommend checking this great little spot out!! :)

    My wife and I stopped in here while we waited for our flight as it was one of the few places in the area that we found serves matcha. While we didn't try the coffee, it looked like it would be delicious. I can say that the matcha was lovely. It is not sweet (which I love) but allows for you to add flavors or sweeteners of your own (which my wife loves). The service was friendly and efficient. We weren't in a hurry so we found a table and hung out for a bit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can tell that many people use this spot for studying or working remotely so tables seem like they may be hard to come by if it's busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside was super cute and it's in a great location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If we're ever in the area again, we'd definitely stop in.

    This place had the best biscuit sandwich ever I really liked it so much that I was thinking about it and the cheese and the bread itself was so delicious. The turmeric latte was amazing. My husband got it and I kept stealing his drink because it was so good. The latte was generally very good as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance here is really romantic Kyu then fine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would highly recommend it with your date friends whoever or just Come here for a really good food from this café. I highly recommend coming here. Street parking is available nearby as well. I love this café. I would definitely come back if I'm close by.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall it might be a small place in downtown Bangor but don't let it fool you because it's a jewel in disguise.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got a large coffee, pumpkin/chocolate chip bread & chocolate chip muffin from the microwave & they did pretty good & even brought it to my booth where I was sitting & might be one or two people at the counter at a time but they were good, accurate in orders & timely. Well worth $15.00 including tip & before I forget it's local.

    Really fantastic experience. Service was friendly and coffee delicious! They serve Tandem, which is nice. We shared a brownie and cookie - both quite tasty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice, chill atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely go again when using the Bangor Airport.

    If you rated on well designed coffee (coffee foam art) Chimera is doing well. Service was fast and you can actually ask for a ceramic cup - much better than wasting paper if you plan to drink on premises. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The is a coffee shop like ambiance with tables and a community bulletin board.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is also some art to admire.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is a good option if you are downtown and need your caffeine.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute restaurant inside with plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drinks made in moderately good time but don't come here if you're in a rush. We watched another customer have to leave their order because the baristas took way too long. Drink flavors sounded really cool on paper but were just alright when we got our orders.

    Small Maple Molasses Latte and Gluten Free Blueberry muffin
    Taylor P.

    Super quick and easy detour off 95! Awesome lattes. They use tandem beans to brew the espresso. All the syrups are homemade. They also have super good breakfast sandwiches on biscuits and good gluten free muffins. Would definitely stop here again.

    What's left of my oat cortado and the Almond Joyride
    Indiana W.

    Visiting Maine and haven't had a great coffee experience until I came to Chimera! First green flag was seeing they had Chemex and pourover equipment for sale. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was great--calm, chill vibe and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The baristas were incredibly friendly and accommodating to my pretentious requests/questions (I can't help it as a barista myself ). You can tell they know what they are doing (and are passionate about it, too)! The cortado was incredible! Perfect milk texture and temperature, and the flavor of the espresso really shined through. Also got one of their seasonal drinks (Almond Joyride) which was delicious. Wish I could go again and try their pour overs, but I'm heading home tomorrow. If I'm ever in Bangor again, I know where I'm heading first

    Local cafes are the way to go! I got coffee from Chimera both mornings I was in Bangor. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A cute little cafe with jazzy chill music and very friendly baristas!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the vanilla latte the first day and of course had to get the pour over the next day. Everything hits. Coffee is so smooth. I also tried their coffee walnut carrot cake and I love it so much. -9/10

    Buzzing from the moment it opens and set beside the beautifully restored lobby of a historic hotel, Chimera delivers espresso with complex flavors and a robust crema and creative takes on coffee shop classics, like an egg and cheese sandwich on a flaky, almost croissant-like version of a biscuit (get the spicy mayo)! The service was so kind and attentive to each person in line. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance definitely has an artistic feel - local artists are featured inside and the shop participates in many local art events.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's a perfect place to start your day in Bangor!

    Great coffee! :)

    Great coffee! :-) The breakfast sandwiches need to be handmade per order. Mines tasted like it was made a few days ago, frozen and then reheated. If they make the sandwiches fresh..with freshly toasted croissants or freshly baked biscuits...the line would be out the door.;-)

    The matcha is delicious and I like that it comes unsweetened so you can ask for whatever sweetener you prefer.

    In town for our annual start to spring vacation with our grandson. Ice cream was on the agenda,…read morewent to YELP for suggestions. Have seen Fielder's Choice before when we stayed in the hotel that is in front of. The shop is behind a hotel on a long drive. Plenty of parking but confusing with the drive through line blocking people in their parking spots. Cool that they have a drive through though. Long line when we arrived but after parking found the line not too bad. The line is under a covering so good news for bad weather. Super windy while on line but boy did s the line fly! Gray painted building with white and red accents, airy feeling and a nice view of the mini golf courseWe waited a total of maybe 10 minutes and we were served. They have an expansive menu with your choice of hard serve or soft serve. I went with a small vanilla and chop twist, hubby his favorite Hot Fudge sundae and grandson has Cake batter with M&M's. Not long after ordering our treats were ready. Service was fast and efficient and with a smile!! Great job on service . Yum!

    Never knew this place existed. It's hidden off of Odlin road. Looks to have a thriving miniature…read moregolf experience too. Stopped in and got a double. Asked if that meant I could have two flavors. Yes! Was the answer. I ordered cookies & cream (1) and peanut butter cup (2). Very reasonable price for the size of the serving. What I got was two scoops of cookies and cream with chopped up peanut butter cups on top. It was good, just not what I had asked for. Left not knowing what I paid for (ice cream with toppings) or two scoops of ice cream. I'll go back, but will be more specific in my order. It was not crowded when I went which was nice also.
