The smoothie had such great mango flavors and the green apple tastes of gelato were like a green apple flavored Jolly Rancher. The store was busy but efficient, with an ordering side and a food preparation side. Tables and chairs filled the remaining space among the displays of drinks and various salads, like the macaroni salad, which was also fresh and delicious. Well done!

Fine- we came back in the morning and explained that we got a Cuban and a bagel/ cream cheese instead of our sandwich and açaí bowl with extra items- he said about $30... but bc it was the day before they couldn't do anything about it. Frustrating- esp bc I offered to pay for what we got yesterday- just give me what I ordered... but that wasn't an option. We had planned to order egg sandwiches today- so - dumb us did that... Thank goodness we checked before we left - they totally gave us the wrong order !! Okay place - not sure they can handle the business...and definitely not customer thoughtful. We won't be back.

Note: They are only open from 7-10 am and the space is a premium, so get there quickly or prepare to wait for a table to open up. You will be glad you did. This place is worth the wait. From the moment we entered, Missy took great care of us! My coffee never ran dry. My daughter ordered the pancakes and they were thick, fluffy and delicious! My son ordered the ham and bacon omelette, and we ordered the spinach omelette and a ham and cheese omelette. Everything was served hot, fresh and delicious. The omelettes came with home fries and toast (or other options). Great tastes that taste great. All was made quickly and tasted fresh. The restaurant is part of the Alouette Resort, but you don't have to be a guest there to eat here. We were right next door (at Atlantis) and found the atmosphere to be great for a breakfast or brunch place, like an upscale diner, with amazing customer service and very clean restrooms. But they close at 10 am, so you have to get there in time to get a seat. Definitely a must-eat breakfast place while you are in Old Orchard Beach! You will not be disappointed.

This morning, my wife and I finally planned to go check out their space for the first time. What more could you truly ask for than a cafe/coffee shop meets bookstore meets beer bar! My wife is more of an avid reader than I am so she enjoyed the book aspect more. They have a large menu of offerings drink wise with everything you'd expect from a coffee shop. I do wish they did a rotating seasonal special drink menu, as places usually have one or more great sounding drinks on those. Both my wife and I settled on an iced blueberry latte. Overall it had hints of blueberry and tasted more like milk than anything. Would not be rushing back for it specifically that's for sure. Food wise they have some in-house baked goods as well as bagels from Rose Foods and corssiants from Little Spruce Baking. My wife got a plain bagel with cream cheese while I grabbed a chocolate croissant. I did mess up by not requesting it be warmed up but it was still delicious! Will be finding more spots that have goodies from Little Spruce. The bagel was also tasty. Book wise my wife enjoyed browsing but did not find any books she needed to grab. She did enjoy reading a couple chapters of her current book while we sat by the large windows (good spot for world watching outside). We enjoyed our visit but have other spots we would be happier to visit again.

Now? In 2026? What a turnaround! The service is excellent, the staff is SO pleasant, orders are correct, no more drive-thru cone catastrophes, and they have it together! The prices at this Dunkin are the highest of any Dunkin I've been to in MA, NH, RI or ME. Maybe the OOB tax rate BS is why. But the service is very good. The folks in the drive-thru are so quick, friendly and a pleasure. Now. The parking lot is a crap show. I have no idea why a Dunkin in such a busy area would design a parking lot like this.

Holy sh!t i LOVE this place it's in the best location its right across the school,by the beach, near the skate park, and also near the police station so if you're scarced about that kind of stuff dont worry. The guy who owns/runs the place works so hard to make you happy i personaly know the guy and he is SUPER nice pluss he plays movies there for free in the front of the store (all kid frendly) he makes all the best food from scratch has drinks, ice cream, etc and rents movies out and sells them and i have a tab so i can walk in with no money and get whatever and just pay it off and last but not least he has a room that you can rent out for anything your hearts desires. So in conclusion YES come here and you will love it. read more

What a breath of fresh air to walk into a movie store and be able to browse without a computer or a remote control. Never have I ever met a more personable business owner than David at Starstruck. He knows his costumers and makes everyone, from local to tourist, feel special. There is an incredible movie selection of all the newest titles and classics and not to mention a phenomenal line up of Gifford's Ice Cream from Skowhegan, ME. Why go anywhere else? David also makes whoopie pies to die for. I highly recommend this place to anyone with a soul. Stop by anytime you're in OOB and you won't be disappointed :) Most importantly it is family owned and operated and what an amazing family it is! read more

the environment is amazing. Love the plants and sticky note wall. So fun! I typically don't appreciate a good environment without good food and drink; Elevate is great in both food and ambience! I personally love the iced vanilla latte and the bacon egg and cheese on a croissant (add avocado, you'll thank me later). The friendly staff make the experience all the better.
