Good food, nice friendly service and atmosphere. However, our 2 breakfast sandwiches took very long when they weren't very busy. When I asked an employee if they were almost ready, she found them seemingly forgotten on a shelf in their kitchen read more

I'm a total sucker for a place with couches and games. But also, the sandwiches here are seriously good. No joke. So glad we stopped here. We got the Birdhouse and the Cubano and both were seriously good. If this place were in New York, we would've been regulars. read more

In for lunch, staff was a little rude nothing awful just couldn't smile back when she dropped off the sandwiches .she could have had a bad day. Food was mediocre for the prices. read more

I got the pork banh mi and an iced coffee. The coffee was just fine, but the banh mi (which looked great!) was underseasoned to the point of being really disappointing. The cilantro was probably the most flavorful aspect of it. I'm pretty sure they use American-style mayo for this as opposed to the egg yolk-based mayo that I'm used to on banh mi, plus the pork itself was rather... flavorless. I guess if you're as old and as whitebread as the clientele here are, anything spicier might be off-putting? I might have gotten a dud, or this might be the way they make it every time. I'm down for giving it another go, but the first time wasn't great. read more

Flexit Cafe - Banh mi - Sandwiches Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

Cute little Cafe! We stopped by for some coffee. I had a hot coffee and partner had iced coffee, both solid. Great service, we saw plenty of street parking. I saw many people get breakfast sandwiches or burritos. They also serve lunch! In the restaurant, they also sold local artists artwork which was pretty awesome. read more

This place was delicious!! They were out of smoked salmon when we got there, but we saw them making more while we were eating. Pretty cool! My husband loved the cold brew coffee. I had the Bobbi Lane breakfast burrito, and it was SO GOOD. My husband ended up getting a Cuban sandwich, and he said it was good. As we were leaving, we got a brownie and a Blondie to go, and both were very tasty! read more

Great old wooden floor captures the ambiance of this breakfast spot. Peaceful interior leads to excellent coffee and great limited breakfast options. I went with hard boiled brown eggs and mixed fruit pie which turned out to be the perfect breakfast. Great downtown location read more

Upon entry, you are welcomed by a ton of smiling workers and happy customers. Such a beautiful aroma meets you as you walk in the door. I ate the breakfast burrito and was highly impressed. It is not your typical breakfast burrito which is partly what make it great. I also ordered a chocolate pastry which was amazing. This is a great spot in a good area of town. Stop on by! read more

Coffee and mocha were horrible. Coffee (even with an extra shot) tasted really weak and had little to no coffee taste. Mocha was even more disappointing. For the life of me, I couldn't taste any chocolate and again, little to no coffee taste. We also had a breakfast sandwich which was very good. Nice sausage patty. Cute place, conveniently located with a nice local vibe. But I wouldn't come back for coffee. sorry.... read more

Awesome breakfast burritos and sandwiches. My wife is gluten free, it's difficult to find a place with options for here north of Portland.

Fresh, homemade sandwiches, soups, and salads. Highly recommend the Banh Mi with pork and the grilled chicken panini. read more

It's super sobering to be at a place that plays songs like the killers and have an open space. It was definitely your classic cafe with a printer! $5 sandwiches too! Normally $8-$15 in the bay area in California. Would definitely come back for a normal meet up with a client or to catch up on some work! read more

Nice cozy place. Had breakfast sandwich and muffin. Coffee was pretty pretty good! Wide open distancing at the tables.

Great paninis and wonderful salads. Being a coastal town, I would have wished to see smelts or sardines s an option for the Caesar salad; but the chicken topping was generous and well cooked. The panini took too long to prep; nearly half an hour with few other customers in-house; but it was still delicious. Phenomenal lattes, iced and hot. read more

Great people, great food, great coffee. Nice place to sit, inside or out. They require a mask but there's a window you can order/pickup at and they have disposable masks and have sanitizer at the door. read more

Delicious sandwiches and friendly staff. Very COVID conscious/clean/masked. Finished our lunch w delicious cookies! read more

Nice place for a quick lunch. The food and service were really good. Lots of dessert options to take home as well. Only complaint, if you can call it that, is that the one $ designation is no longer accurate. We spent $56 on sandwiches and drinks for two adults plus our 16 and 9 year olds. read more

Unexpectedly, we chose blueberry pie and hard boiled eggs for breakfast. The eggs were fresh and the pie was delicious. A yummy splurge for breakfast. Pie would have been even better warm. On Sundays, breakfast sandwiches are not made to order, so this turned out to be the perfect breakfast for us. read more

Two words: "Bahn Mi". It's difficult to find a proper bahn mi (Vietnamese sandwich) outside California or Houston, where most of the indigenous purveyors reside. So when I decided to run the dice on the haddock version that Flexit had here a couple of years ago, my heart had hit both 7 and 11. The ingredients were authentically on-point, something that even most of the Chinese knockoffs in Manhattan tend to miss. The best banh-mi sandwich I had in the East Coast. I was definitely perplexed: Here I was in the furthermost reaches of Maine and hadn't seen another Asian since Tuesday (let alone a Vietnamese person) -- so how could it be that their sandwich be very similar that my mom would make for me as child? Long story short, I ended up meeting the owner that day, and he told me that he had been to Houston in the 80's, when he first discovered bahn mi. He's been perfecting the sandwich ever since. This has to be one of the most remarkable culinary stories ever, and years later, I still yearn for the Maine haddock bahn mi. In love with this place, will be stopping by every time I'm even within 100 miles. read more

Picked up a quick breakfast to go on our way out of town and so glad we did. The smoothies were made with real fruit and the blueberry and raspberries were oh so moist and delicious. Wish we'd found this sooner so we could've had lunch and dessert as it all sounded so good and fresh! read more

Came here on a pretty busy Sunday morning. The staff was super polite and helpful as it was our first time here at Flexit and we were from out of town. I ordered an egg sandwich with bacon and pepper jack cheese and it was by far one of the best egg sandwiches I have ever had. My husband got the breakfast burrito and he was also very happy with that. I think this place really SHINES is with their lattes, I got the iced vanilla latte and my husband got the hazelnut latte and we both were shocked with how flavorful and how well the coffee was made! Would recommend this place if you want to grab a quick bite to eat for breakfast or lunch on the go, or a place to relax and read a book or play games with friends. read more

Stopped while traveling from Bar HarborGood-we like to support small local shops. Great little spot Great coffee, scones and blueberry pie.

I don't know how to do this without posting a review - but this place is temporarily closed! We were so excited to get this on the way to the airport after looking at the menu but there's a sign on the door and all lights are out. Definitely call ahead to check before you go! read more

My husband and I popped in for just a quick coffee and it was delicious. You never know how good the coffee will be at most breakfast spots, but this place did it right. They had a ton of delicious looking breakfast pastries and we both almost jumped on them even though we just finished our breakfast at our campsite. Maybe next time! read more

Nice people, quirky and interesting building, good experience, tasty food. We drove up to Arcadia national park twice and stopped here twice once for breakfast I had a smoothie (which was just ok) and lunch which was great: i had one of the specials which was a feta and red pepper quiche with a small salad. Would go back again when im back in the area. read more

The owner/manager of Flexit helped me out today when I needed WiFi to check work emails on my drive from Acadia NP to Pennsylvania. Google maps took me to this building and told me it was "The Maine Grind" and was still open. However, the Maine Grind had closed 7 years ago... and Flexit had already closed for the day. The owner saw me sitting outside trying to figure out a backup plan, so he invited me in and let me use their WiFi while the employees cleaned up shop for the day. There were a few other customers inside still using the WiFi for schoolwork, despite the shop being closed. It was so refreshing that people these days can still be kind to one another :) More places should be like Flexit!!! read more

Absolutely incredible!!!!! Their coffee and fresh fruit smoothies are scrumptious!!!!!!

Definitely excellent breakfast and coffee. Sit inside or outside. Friendly staff. Typical breakfast choices well executed. Comfortable atmosphere. read more

Wonderful atmosphere. Tables spaced out well for social distancing. Food was killer!! The feta and spinach croissant was amazing. The butter flavor is still making me drool. We actually got 2 to go after eating the first one! The BLT- tomatoes were juicy, bacon was well cooked, and lettuce was crunchy! The spinach, feta and tomato quiche was well cooked not runny and the crust was buttery as you'd want! read more

This is a great little cafe with a nice atmosphere. The cafe is primarily run by women and has a great vibe of feminine empowerment. The baked goods I had were all good. The blueberry turnover in particular. The egg sandwich and hash browns was also good though I found the croissant bun to be a touch dry. Maybe some butter needed? If you like board games, this is your spot. So many players! If you like books, news, or just reading, this atmosphere has just enough bustle and silence along with great people and the coffee smells lovey. Enjoy. Yelp on read more

Flexit Cafe - Sandwiches Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

Flexit is a lovely cafe in the winter, but as summer rolls around and the tourists flock to Maine, it becomes a perfect lunch spot, with sandwiches, quiches, salads, and smoothies made from fresh ingredients -- most lunch dishes accompanied by an inspired couscous side salad. The coffee is very good, and they offer all kinds of coffee drinks (something of a rich-man's starbucks). They even have almond milk next to the half and half and dairy milk carafes. Also worth trying are the pastries and the freshly-made juices. The building is very cool, it looks quite old, but renovated nicely. They have games located in the built-in wall hutch and lots of comfy couches amid the tables for eating. And located at the indoor entrance of the cafe there are two local artist and artisan shops to wander in to buy or window shop. Overall, worth a stop if you're vacationing, and worth putting on your list of lunch spots if you're a local. read more

Stopped by to grab lunch for a picnic in Acadia National Park. I ordered avocado toast with smoked salmon. When we arrived at our picnic spot I was so disappointed! The bread was not toasted, it had a very small amount of mashed avocado but an ok amount of smoked salmon. Quite frankly the most tasteless and unimaginative avocado "toast" I've ever had. read more

If you don't come here for the food (you should, though), come for the artist's market. One of the most unique restaurants I've been to because of the shared space with the market. The bakery is open-air, so grab a seat nearby and watch the cookies get made as you eat the tofu bahn mi. read more

Hard seating only but great WiFi and excellent coffee and snacks. Cranberry orange muffin was worth the five stars alone! Picturesque outdoor seating too! read more

This was the perfect place to stop for breakfast and coffee before heading to Acadia. Cute coffee shop in old downtown Ellsworth. The breakfast sandwiches and baked goods were great and staff was very friendly. The mochas and lattes were some of the best we have ever had; they weren't too sweet so you could still taste the coffee. Will definitely be stopping here again! read more

Such a cute cafe! It's nice and spacious inside ( for any concerns about Covid). The breakfast sandwich with spinach and tomato was delicious and clearly made with fresh ingredients. People that work there are so friendly and you have to pick up a piece of pie!! read more

Bagels are amazing !! Lots of outdoor sitting during covid and girls at the counter are the friendliest!! (Tip them well)

I am a fan of coffee shops. I find peace in sitting in a shop, the smell of beans roasting, the sounds of an espresso machine spitting steaming hot water, and frothing milk for a latte. The clank and clatter of stainless steel is so remarkable a sound for coffee shop. Flexit Cafe and Bakery is a great little shop. The coffee is good. Serving Coffee By Design, they have my vote. CBD is a local roaster in Portland, Maine. They have good coffee, and it is good to see Flexit serve this. While there recently, I ordered my good old standard, a dark roast, and it was deep, complex, and tasty; not watered down. On another day, I ordered their Gothic Chai, which is Espresso, Chai, and Mocha. It was a little sweet for me--I drink my coffee black normally and am not a huge sweet fan--but I would prefer this after a day out swimming in the ocean with a deep chill running through my body. Or a long drenched rainy day, where water cascades on the panes of the windows, this would be magical. Their baked goods are spot on. If they have elephant ears, I recommend them. Oh so delicious, these are my go to. The space is used well. They have comfortable couches, high top tables, low corners, and nooks to choose from. A great place for friendly conversation, a first date, or just to read and write. This is a comfortable location. Staff is friendly and quick with your order. Nice place. Friendly staff. Good coffee. What's not to like? read more

Breakfast shop that opens early (6:30 on weekdays) and offers delicious breakfast sandwiches- including a vegetarian option, and many gluten free treats (including a brownie!), a dairy free breakfast option, tofu filled wrap -where gluten free wrap is also an option. Avocado on toast was also flavorful. Dairy-free creamer also an option for coffees. Friendly service too! read more
