This time I picked up some flavors for friends and family and am about to order some more online.

The customer service is awesome and can not wait to bring more Maine to Florida.

Also, it's near Granite City Park, with its long row of colorful Adirondack chairs. That makes it a great place to drink Traverse Coffee with friends, or to drink coffee by yourself while you read or just gaze at the river flow. In addition, they seem to have a uniquely friendly and knowledgeable group of workers. I ordered a black cold brew. It was made with a Cat & Cloud roasted blend called The Answer. Cat & Cloud is off my radar, but some quick internet research suggests that they are based in Santa Cruz, CA. They have a 4.5 Yelp Star rating. The Answer blends Ethiopian, Colombian and Brazilian. It was balanced and pretty good. I didn't pick up any flavor notes in particular, which may have to with the fact that it was cold brewed rather than hot brewed and then chilled. I prefer more acidity and fruit notes. Four Stars.

So I proceeded to pull forward to the second window. The young lady asked if I placed an order. I explained that I waited, but couldn't, because no one was at the first window to take my order. She stated that she couldn't take my order and instructed me to pull forward, and get back in that long line again to order at the first window. Despite pointing out how punitive this request was, she would not budge and correct their erroneous action. Needless to say I left with nothing and took my business to another establishment.

Title: Great vibes, fantastic drinks, but skip the unsolicited lecture…read more We're visiting Bangor for the first time and were absolutely thrilled to stumble upon this spot while walking downtown. The atmosphere is exactly what you hope for in a local coffee shop--loved the aesthetic, the crowd was friendly, and having the lounge area next door is a fantastic touch. The drinks themselves? Delicious. The person at the register clearly knows how to pull a great shot and make a beautiful beverage. However, we had a really odd interaction while ordering. Without any prompting from us, the barista launched into a strange, unsolicited lecture about whether a Café Mocha is Italian or American, speaking to us as if we had never had coffee outside of the U.S. It was especially baffling given that we've visited Italy numerous times. We didn't ask for the history lesson, and being talked down to for no reason definitely left a sour note on an otherwise lovely visit. The bottom line: Absolutely come here for the cozy space and the high-quality drinks. Just hope the person at the register decides to skip the coffee trivia and just make the amazing drinks they clearly know how to make.

Stopped by here for a quick breakfast on the way to the airport and had hopes given the other…read morereviews! However, it fell short of expectations. First off, I will say the decor and ambience is great. Feels very cozy indoors, and the round booths are comfortable. I also appreciate that they have art available for purchase (by local artists I assume). However, be warned you will leave smelling like grease. 4 hours later and I'm still smelling it on my clothes. Would def recommend to management better ventilation if possible! Speaking of grease, I ordered a cheese & chives bagel with veggie cream cheese, and it was quite greasy (other reviewers have mentioned this about other food items). Other people I came with liked the oatmeal and green machine smoothie though. And their large coffees do come in quite large cups! We waited for maybe 10 minutes in line to order, and we received our order about 20 minutes later. I wish the scones and muffins were warmed up before they serve them; otherwise they're cold and hard. (They also forgot to give us our scone so we had to ask again). All the folks working there were really nice. And the barista was spinning out drinks pretty fast! Maybe I just had a one-off bad experience here; I would be willing to try ordering something else next time.

Love the starry light kind of ceiling and the coziness of the booths, couches, or tables. One of my favorite spots!

We also each got a really nice vegan cupcake and while it was delicious, it was very crumbly and made a mess on both of us. The frosting was fabulous and made up for the crumbles. We just went for a morning treat but we'd be back for some of their other offerings like the falafel wrap for example. Definitely worth a stop in if you're vegan and need a quick, clean bite but also of course many more options for non vegans as well.
