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 The Grind House on my way through from Bar Harbor to Boston Logan International…read more I was excited to see an impossible breakfast sandwich on the menu as well as a peanut butter mocha. Seriously, two of my favorite things to see on a coffee house menu. That said the execution was a bit off for me. The Impossible breakfast sandwich was served on an insubstantial bun (the type that is more air than anything) and was overall pretty basic. Their signature sauce mentioned in several dishes, seems to be thousand island or maybe tartar sauce? Either way, it wasn't my favorite. The peanut butter mocha was also a bit of a miss for me. I wasn't a fan of either their chocolate or their espresso (or the peanut butter flavor they used, for that matter). The shop itself is quirky and comfortable. We were able to get a spot by the windows, which was nice and the service was lovely. It would definitely be a good and comfortable spot for working and it could be that had I ordered differently, it may have been more my cup of tea (or coffee, as they case may be). But for what I ordered, it was a bit of a swing and a miss.

Walked in and wow, lots to read on the menu! Which can be good and bad depending on how much time…read moreyou want to spend reading menus. I chose a egg and cheese on a croissant bun and a caramel turtle latte. I came here because it had been highly recommended, but I have to say, I expected more, but depends on what you like, right?? Plenty of seating, centrally located in the city, easy parking, and plenty of coffee concoctions to try out. My coffee was missing the whipped cream, but oh well. The froth for the latte was odd, it deflated super quickly, not sure what happened there. And the sweetness was sweet, but it was missing that caramel turtle flavor I thought I was going to get. For me, this was meh. I expected something more decadent. My egg sandwich was good. Basic. Not a real croissant either. It was a croissant bun of some sort. It seemed, well, basic, or economical. But it was filling and the egg was good. I also have to say that when I departed, I smelled like a convenience store that sells those hotdogs on rollers... I smelled all day, I had to wash my hair to get the smell out. I also have to mention the heavy music that was playing. It was obscene and it was loud. So loud it made it challenging to order and I did eat my meal quickly and leave. It was a Tuesday morning around 9 am. But hey I am getting older so this may not have been a good choice for me.

The folks that work there are absolute treasures, I genuinely do not know how they manage to find such incredibly quality people. The space is packed with beautiful local and specialty items, but it feels, somehow, intimate? It's a really special spot. Kudos to the whole crew there and hats off to the owners.

We were in the area today and remembered how much of a fun stop they could be…read more They were out of Baked by Joy's ube cookies but we were lucky enough to grab one of the pandan (a naturally fragrant plant that is known as Southeast Asia's vanilla) ones. We also found some cannoli shells which were 50% off, and some imported chocolate hazelnut spread. Service is friendly, store layout and presentation are well thought out, prices are a bit high but they are understandable considering they have some unique and healthy offerings.

Absolute best stop we made on our trip to Maine! I wish I could pack this place up & take it home…read morewith me. This place was like stepping back in time to go eat breakfast at my Papaw's house. Everything about it was fantastic. We had a variety of food, blueberry pancakes, bacon, ham, home fries, hash, eggs, homemade toast & jelly- it was all spot on & just what we needed before the long trip home! The sweet people working the counter, cooking & serving us were so accommodating & considerate. They gave our 1 year old crayons and a little baby fork to eat with. The atmosphere was perfect, it was cozy, inviting & to top it off, the fresh baked goods we purchased as we left were delicious.

First, it's just as good as when I was a teen, if not better! I couldn't decide if I wanted a bagel or a sandwich, so the kind employee said "well, why not get the sandwich on bagel?!" And I was sold. I got the Penobscot without tomato or raw onion on it, and WOW. The bagel was nice and soft, the pastrami nice and hot, and the perfect amount of Swiss cheese. I think this will become a must do every time I return to Maine!!
