My wife and I love to discover and check out new spots for coffee. Through social media we figured…read moreout Morning Moose would be nearby us in Portland for an event with their coffee trailer. Besides the trailer they do have a brick and mortar location in Richmond as well as an in progress location in Topsham. Lastly they also have a private cafe located inside IDEXX Labs. Their Portland event was basically a collaboration of Moose. Morning Moose partnered up with Big Moose Harley-Davidson for a breakfast bingo. We stopped in for just the coffee though. Morning Moose just dropped their Christmas seasonal drinks so perfect time to check them out. Besides coffee they also offer mini donuts. Although we did pass on those this visit due to already having breakfast. Will be a must try next time though. The staff were friendly and greeted us with a smile with quickly made drinks. I ended up getting their Gingerbread Latte while my wife got their Peppermint Pine. Besides these they had a couple other flavored lattes as well as a cranberry energy drink. I very much enjoyed the gingerbread and think it's an overall underrated flavor for the holiday season. My wife and I also enjoyed net peppermint drink but think we would pass on the crushed candy canes next time. A little overpowering. Overall a great experience trying this coffee trailer and look forward to finding the trailer or visiting one of their cafes to grab another drink and some mini donuts!

Always on the search for new to us coffee shops close and far and today's stop was at Reverie. A…read morewoman-owned coffee shop who uses local roasters for the beans. They also originally started out as a coffee trailer that's since traded hands a few times since. Once they opened this brick & mortar spot the trailer went to become Lark Coffee which can be found in Wells Maine at Scoop Deck (since changed hands again too). Back to Reverie though, they have turned this location into such a welcoming and cozy spot! From beautifully done mural/wall art of flowers and nature to the back corner being a book lovers dream! A wall utilizing books and plants to make a great art piece with some chairs to sit and read for a while. Which my wife did exactly that! They have all the typical coffee and tea drinks you would expect plus specials including a few that rotate monthly. I went with their Honeysuckle that came with honey and pistachio syrups and it tasted amazing with the honey and pistachio being a perfect pairing. My wife went with the Hannah Banana that was banana and brown sugar. That tasted phenomenal as well! The staff were so friendly and remembered quite a few names of customers which speaks to how much people return! Also during our decently long stay here the line never fully ended and the workers kept such a friendly vibe the entire time. They provide such a great cozy space with friendly staff and drinks that will make you wanting to come back! Top notch coffee shop!

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Cool woman-owned coffee shop…read more I was looking for a coffee place in the area and this came up with high marks. Located on the main drag called Maine St in Brunswick, it was a cozy, welcoming space. I decided on their Earthworm latte--a delicious sweet treat featuring Oreo crumbs. I sat at the bar facing Maine st, watching the midweek traffic pass by and leisurely enjoying my coffee. It looked like a very mom- and kid-friendly space, which made sense after learning that it was a woman-owned business. A bulletin board by the front door had a bunch of flyers tacked on to it, and it seemed like a popular neighborhood hub. A cool small business worth supporting.

I've never experienced anything like it. Special meat of the day and all scratch made food.

The location is really cool inside as well. Go here, you will not regret it.

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.

First - it is super cute. With a mix of community tables, counter seating, and even one very cozy looking chair (I say looking because it was occupied and I was unable to plunk myself down and enjoy my book - which it was beckoning me to do). They have an extensive coffee menu and use their own roasted beans. I went with a standard coffee but did upgrade to maple syrup for my sweetener. (Anyone who knows me knows this alone won me over!) And, if you eat in - your coffee comes in a beautiful real mug! They have decent bakery case which is stocked with pastries from Two Fat Cats and bagels from Rose Foods! That's right - you can get a Rose Food bagel without the hassle of parking on Forest Ave in Portland. I got the Mystery Spice (old bay seasoning) and enjoyed half with Olive Cream Cheese and the other with Herbed. Clearly they make the cream cheeses here in house and they are delicious. The place seems pretty popular as there were many people here on a Thursday morning. Already planning a trip back here with a friend for a little remote work day!

I don't know why I always thought it was a TINY little place, like a converted itty bitty cottage or something. I mean it looked fine, like a unique independent coffee place but I'm so glad I came here today, visiting Portland from our home a half hour away. It's a very BIG comfortable space, converted house with multiple rooms and really generous layout. Lots of people, but room for everyone with varied seating spaces, great for social hang, solitary chillin or getting down to work on laptop or what not. Great vibe, nice looking drinks menu, a few baked/pastry options in case, friendly counter people. I got a very solid iced coffee. Highly recommend!

I had forgotten to write a review after that experience so we needed to revisit eventually. Today was that day as we were in the area. Location wise I would say it is perfect tucked away not in the hustle and bustle of downtown. They have a small parking lot as well as plenty street parking. We went inside and I got their Cozy Latte which was cinnamon and cardamom latte while my wife got their Flower Power which is lavender and honey. Both were quite tasty and well made. Besides their seasonal drinks they appeared to have all the typically drinks you'd expect. To go along with our drinks I grabbed a chocolate croissant and my wife got a piece of their rosemary kale & pepper quiche. Both of these were tasty bites but do wish they would have been warmed up. Not sure if this would have been an option as they did not ask if we wanted them warm. Only real knock against the food was that. Good variety overall of food options. They are huge supporters of local creators and had a handful inside with jewelry and pottery available for sale. Great to see local supporting local! Overall we enjoy Coveside, although I do believe some other spots more based on coffee drinks. It is definitely a cozy and inviting space worth your time to visit. Also if you are a fan of books checkout the little library out front!
