"Your breath is sweet Your eyes are like two jewels in the…read moresky Your back is straight, your hair is smooth On the pillow where you lie One more cup of coffee for the road One more cup of coffee before I go" (Bob Dylan) Some of my friends gifted me with a basket of Maine goodies after we all served on a charity committee for a few years. In the basket was a 12-ounce bag of ground coffee from Maine's Katahdin Coffee Company. After a few cups, I realized I was drinking some of the very best coffee I ever had in my long coffee drinking life. It had been a very long time since we used ground coffee, because we converted to K Cups years ago (don't hassle me about the environment because we empty out and recycle all those plastic pods). We used one of those "make your own K Cup" plastic/mesh baskets that was banished to a kitchen cabinet for many years, scooped in a few spoonfuls of Katahdin and brewed it in our K Cup machine. My Katahdin coffee was a Medium/Dark variety known as "Baxter Blend". The flavor ran rings around everything else we have in the house. Yes, it was a zillion times better than what I normally drink. Katahdin is sold in quite a few Maine grocery stores and through their website. The website has offerings in 10-ounce, 12-ounce, and 2-lb bags, with choices of ground or whole bean across a few different flavors including Breakfast Blend, Breakfast Blend Decaf, Baxter Blend, French Roast, Maine Whoopie Pie, Hazelnut and Maine Blueberry Pie. Yes, we will be sending out a mail order as soon as we use up every last ground of coffee in that 12-ounce bag.

This past Christmas, I upgraded to a fancy coffee machine -- or at least fancy compared to what I…read morewas using before. After a few trial-and-error espresso attempts, I figured it was time to find some fresh beans and do it right. And I set out on a journey to find local roasters, and that's when I stumbled upon Black Point Coffee in Scarborough. Ordering on their website was super easy, and I loved that they offered local pick-up. It saved me money on shipping and felt way more personal. A few hours later, I got the email that my order was ready, and I headed to the "roaster" -- which is basically their home, and honestly, that just made it feel even more special. Talk about small batch. I went with the Colombia Huila Santa Maria, a medium-dark roast. As soon as I got home, I brewed an espresso, and it was so freaking good. The coffee was just three days post-roast, which is wild when you think about how most beans at even the fanciest grocery stores were roasted weeks (or months) ago. Anyway, that first espresso was enough to get me to email Black Point Coffee right away just to say how amazing it was. Easily one of the best I've ever had. They've got a customer in me now.

Their macarons from the Macaron Cafe were the perfect pick me up, and next time I want to try the chicken salad croissant sandwich. Afterwards we took a lil stroll, Kennebunk is such a cute town!

I'd love to return on a nice day with my book. The inside of the cafe is similarly adorable and they have a wide range of dessert offerings. We had a hard time choosing two drinks from the huge menu, and eventually settled on a Campfire Cold Brew and Banana Bread Chai. The server was incredibly helpful in helping me figure out what I wanted, as I was trying to avoid caffeine. The Banana Bread Chai was very delicious, although it could have been a bit thicker and could've used a little more banana flavoring. I'm comparing it to the Starbucks banana bread latte, which I actually prefer, although I'm not a huge Starbucks fan. The Campfire Cold Brew was tasty and had lots of chocolate syrup, but the coffee also tasted a little bitter and watery.

This morning my wife and I were looking for a new to us coffee spot and due to being so close this…read morewas the spot we ended up picking. Seeing their seasonal (Valentines) specials on social media really sold us on coming in. It was not that busy when we came in and took no time at all to order and receive our drinks. The baristas were friendly and the spot is definitely a welcoming to everyone space. It seemed like a good spot for those interested to spend time on the computer doing some work or those wanting to watch the world walk by out the windows. The overall vibes were nice enough and I don't have anything overly negative about it but enjoy some other local spots more. It is a thin long space which maybe contributed to that feeling. Also secondly I think it leans a little more towards generic coffee shop. Drink wise my wife and I typically are iced coffee drinkers no matter the weather but with the walking around in the cold made us want that hot coffee to warm us up. I went with their Salted Banana Foster while my wife got the Cherry Cobbler Au Lait. Both were solid drinks to give us that warming feeling inside and delivered good flavor without being too overpowering. Arabica will be a coffee shop I will consider revisiting in Portland it just may not be my first choice.

Whenever I have walked past Arabica I knew I had to try it out, if not just for that amazing curved…read morebar seating in the huge window. When I finally checked it out, I was super impressed with their chai. It tasted homemade and was a great size for the price, plus sitting with a hot drink at that cool curved bar is so fun. I can totally see myself sitting in here with a book or doing some people watching. The staff were friendly, and my chai came out fast and hot. Will definitely be back!
