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.

I believe this will be the first business I have reviewed for a third time. Catface Cafe is an all…read moretime favorite of both my wife and I. It's really a combination of everything about this spot that brings us back. The only thing even close to a negative I could come up with would be the fact it's not located closer to us, but it would become dangerous and a must visit every weekend if it were closer. You will step in the door and it's a warm and welcoming space with a selection of tables, window seats and communal style table as well. Also during warmer times they have a back patio as well. The staff and owner Tyler have always been nice greeting you right away and going the extra mile for customer service! Besides the vibes the drinks and food are always top notch as well. From the chai lattes, espresso martinis, huge list of flavored lattes you really can't go wrong! Food wise since the beginning the sandwiches were my all time favorite breakfast sandwich and they continue to be! Besides their usual menu offerings they are constantly working on specials to keep you coming back for something different. For example the visit today my wife loved her Catface Florentine that came on an English muffin with swiss, bacon, sausage, spinach, with a lemon-dill aioli. If you find yourself in the area or even semi-close add this spot to your list of places to check out! Incredible food and drinks with friendly and fast service with phenomenal vibes overall!

Stuck in here after getting off of a boat that we're doing a cruise on that stops in Portland. They…read moreare directly across the street from where you disembarked the boat. I walked in. It was immediately greeted by the smell of pumpkin spice, which isn't typically my go to, but it smells good so I ordered a pumpkin spice latte and my husband ordered a double shot. It was $12 for the 2 cups of coffee plus, of course they asked for a tip. They only have the one size which I would say is probably a small. We waited a good 15 minutes for 2 cups of coffee. The coffee is very good, but I can't see me having time to wait for this if I worked in the area. The inside feel is very industrial nothing cozy at all.

I work within a stones throw of Speckled Ax, so this cafe is certainly a go to for me (despite a…read moresmall area around my office with a densely populated coffee shop/cafe per capita ratio). The staff is extremely friendly and, despite being close to where all the cruise ships port, the service is prompt! I appreciate their run of the mill hot late the most (but I'm admittedly afraid of deviating from my norm too much). The kicker for me is the bakery/breakfast sandwich options... they are amazing!! Not everything is made in house, at least I think that's my understanding, and it's different each day (breakfast sandwiches are not available on Monday/Tuesday). But everything I've ever had is 10/10, delicious!

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.
