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.

Until I checked here on Yelp! I had forgotten we've been to Vittles once before - a year ago. Once…read moreagain we were there for breakfast after a quick appointment at the nearby hospital. Being winter, we ate inside this time! As always, and as mentioned in the first review, I had to find something different to try, as I cook a lot of breakfasts for myself at home. I settled on the corned beef hash, made in house, with the home fries, eggs and toast. The hash was excellent, as were the home fries and rye toast. The eggs were scrambled well enough, I suppose, but they seemed bland. Maybe I should have asked for a little salsa! The coffee was just okay considering they were advertising the Carrabassett brand they used. My wife ordered the avocado scramble, which also came with eggs and home fries, and she added bacon on the side. Unlike ravenous me, she had to take her eggs home. I can't forget to mention the server (Maggie?) who was friendly, chatty and took great care of us. I recommend Vittles even for breakfast, but I will repeat what I said in the other review: I want to get back there for lunch or dinner!

It's in an old bank building on a darling street that you need to stroll down. Once inside, we were mesmerized by the delectable treats in the cases and by the bakers toiling away in front of the open vault doors. We ordered a cinnamon roll (possibly the BEST we have ever had!) and an apple cream cheese danish (FILLED with creamy cheese and apple slices!). We also got a loaf of olive sourdough bread that we had with dinner. So good. Truly wish we had bought more!! The black coffee was smooth and the Mocha Latte was like drinking melted chocolate (perhaps a bit too much for me). Absolutely recommend a stop here even if it's out of your way.

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.
