My wife and I stopped by this cute bakery in Bath, ME for coffee. The espresso (Cafe Americano)…read morewas excellent. Overall, the service is very good - they will call your name out when the coffee is ready. The pastries looked amazing - but we stopped by just for coffee. Overall, this bakery is a fantastic place to stop if you're looking for coffee. In addition, the town of Bath is charming and highly walkable. You'll see a nice mix of locals, retirees, and visitors walking through town. If you plan to visit Maine Maritime Museum in the morning, it's worth your time to visit "downtown" Bath for lunch or coffee.

This place is so cute! I love the vibe in here. I only ordered an iced americano (to-go). While it…read morewas delicious, I thought it was an odd choice to give no lid on a to-go order. I had to chug some of it so it didn't spill while I was driving. Other than that, my experience was pleasant and I would definitely come back to try some other items!

I was pleased to find out that I could also grab a latte, to go, from Ritual. The space is beautiful and the staff was wonderful! I was a bit skeptical of the breakfast sandwich, as it looked like it would be mostly bread (not sustenance), but I was wrong. Inside that pillowy (I assume potato-based roll) was a delicious egg, bacon and special sauce combination! I will be stopping here again, in the future!

Dog Bar Jim had been on my list for a while, so I was excited to finally stop in for breakfast. I…read morehad heard the lines could be long, so we arrived around 9:30 a.m. expecting a wait. Luckily, there were only about five people ahead of us, and the line moved quickly. The person taking our order immediately made us feel welcome. Even with a busy morning crowd, they took their time with everyone and treated each customer like they were the only one there. That kind of genuine friendliness is something you don't forget. The atmosphere is unlike any coffee shop I've been to. Every wall has something different to look at, quirky artwork, funny signs, vintage pieces, random collectibles, a mannequin dressed in sunglasses and boots, even a life-size Tom Cruise hanging out on the patio. I found myself constantly looking around because there was something interesting in every direction. One of my favorite touches was the self-serve coffee station. You grab a mug from the wall instead of a paper cup. I picked one with a cool Abraham Lincoln wearing a backwards baseball cap while sipping coffee, which perfectly matched the café's fun personality. There were several coffee choices, and I ended up trying two. Refills are available for a small fee. For breakfast, I ordered one of their brioche breakfast sandwiches with the meat of the day, which was brisket. The brisket was tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the soft brioche bun. I also ordered a toasted jalapeño bagel with jalapeño shmear. It comes sprinkled with Tajín but got mine on the side. While I usually enjoy Tajín, it was just a little much for me first thing in the morning, so next time I'd ask for it without. The jalapeño shmear itself was delicious. After eating, we took our coffee outside to enjoy the patio. The colorful mural covering the building, beautiful flower pots, and relaxed seating made it a great place to sit and slow down for a while. Dog Bar Jim isn't just a place to grab breakfast, it's one of those places with real personality. Great food, excellent coffee, genuinely kind service, and an atmosphere that's fun, creative, and impossible to forget. If you're anywhere near Brunswick, it's absolutely worth the stop.

Few outdoor seats on porch with some seats that have views of the Kennebec River. You grab your own drinks inside or at the coffee station (it's Benbow's too). But they do have an iced coffee and some beer and wine from the menu. Tip inside the fridge also has a few hot sauces to try. Parking is around thd front half loop in front of the restaurant. We tried the BLT and added chicken salad and the Grilled Corned Beef reuben and split. You get a bag of chips and pickles. We also got a side of the large pasta salad. It was mayo based but not heavy. It had olives which I dont really like but I could pick them out, didn't taste olivey. Inside is a bakery case. They had a few sconces including a blackberry one that looked so juicy (as opposed to dry that sconces are known to be).
