Recently Blake Orchard has introduced new lattes to their menu. First they tried them out at their…read moreScarborough location but brought them to their Portland spot too. In search of a Sunday coffee my wife and I decided to come in and check the lattes out. Looking at the menu prior to our visit we did consider trying the smoothie bowls but a few reasons deterred us from doing so. The prices for the size you receive didn't seem worth it. The heavy use of almonds and the fact they can't guarantee being almond free made my wife hesitant too. The inside is spacious, welcoming and beautifully designed while remaining simple. I was surprised it wasn't busier considering this! Definitely felt like a spot you could enjoy a smoothie or drink and chat with friends or family for a while or watching the world outside the window. Street parking was easy enough to get right out front. Staff when we ordered were not un-friendly but also not overly friendly. More welcoming and friendly could make for even more memorable and nice experiences. Latte wise my wife got the Cinnamon Bun Latte while I got the Cookies & Cream Latte. Firstly I will say both the lattes we chose come with a housemade whip which is very delicious but much thicker than typical cold foam/latte toppings. They also make the syrups in house which is great and the taste was phenomenal. Both lattes nailed the flavors they were going for with a slight edge given to the cinnamon bun being better. Overall a great spot aesthetically with solid lattes.

After several visits I have to update my review. Even when ordering online ahead of time it takes…read moreover 40 minutes for them to make a smoothie and even longer for a smoothie bowl. Bonus! The staff is extremely unfriendly :( The lack of training in customer service is very apparent. To avoid frustration place your order at least an hour in advance!

You can literally watch them juice everything right in front of you--no pre-bottled stuff here. They offer two juice sizes ranging around $10-$15 each. I also added a ginger wellness shot for digestion, which packed a punch in the best way. If juices aren't your thing, they've also got smoothies and acai bowls that looked pretty good.

The #1 thing I'm going to be coming back for is that peanut butter brownie. Sounds amazing!

Today, we indulged in blueberry muffins and fruit parfaits (both of which the kids devoured and I personally enjoyed as well), a ham and cheddar breakfast crepe (absolutely amazing!!!), and avocado toast (my wife, who has celiac, was quite disappointed in aside from the onions) for food. To drink, my kids were able to get juice boxes (apple and fruit punch). I got the iced dulce de leche latte, which was pretty good though had a little bit of a different flavor that took some getting used to. My wife got the Maine maple latte, which she said was really good. Being dedicated gluten free, they definitely have some challenges, especially with baked goods, that most places don't have to deal with, so I'm willing to cut some slack here. All in all, there's definitely some gems here but other things could use a little work. We'll definitely go back but maybe not our first choice to go out of the way for.

I've never been to Roots before and was excited because I've heard good things about it. I just got…read morea Cold Brew with sugar free vanilla flavor. I didn't enjoy the coffee at all. Maybe it was the coffee, maybe it was the addition of sugar free vanilla, but I didn't drink it. The ceilings are extremely high. They most definitely should have some noise-dampening panels or something to make it a bit quieter in there. There was a family there when I went that was treating this small coffee shop as a daycare, which made my experience even more disappointing. The screams were echoing throughout the cafe, and I ended up sitting outside for peace and fresh air. The outside seating area is nice. Overall, not a great first experience for me, but maybe their food is better than the coffee?

I ordered the Açaí Origins bowl and a Thai iced tea, and split an order of the Crispy Crisp (fried potatoes) with my friend. Everything was delicious. The potatoes were perfectly crispy and came with a flavorful garlic mayo. The açaí bowl was rich with generous toppings of fresh fruit and granola that added a nice crunch. The portions were very generous too. We'll definitely be back!

(I wonder if all the positive reviews are by local twenty- somethings, six of whom formed a very loud and noisy coffee clatch.) The ambiance is "tired diner." The service prompt, cordial, but you must go up to the counter to order your food. You must get your own napkins, bus your own table. I ordered the "northern Thai curry" dish. Chicken thigh cold, flavorless. The curry sauce owed any spice to the sliced Bermuda onion. No curry evident. The noodles matched the chicken for temperature (lukewarm) and flavor (none). So "Wakie Wakie" a disappointment. Nopey, Nopey.

Oola bowls is a chain brand that originated in Pennsylvania with this being the first location in Maine. Despite that, technically their second is already in works and should be opening soon at Monument Square in Portland as well. My wife and I were excited to give it a try as they had finally opened about a week ago. They offer online ordering so you can have your drinks and bowls ready for pickup when you arrive. That's what we did and had zero complaints and even substitutions or any allergies needed to be mentioned is super simple. Loved how easy it was for customization so you can get exactly what you want. We walked into the store and both workers were extremely friendly and welcoming and along with that service both our bowls and the bag had notes from the workers too. While simple little messages to us they were that added little touch that makes customer service great. They do have some tables inside if you want to enjoy your food or drink inside and even looked like they had some games available to play while waiting or enjoying too. Firstly, drink wise my wife got the strawberry matcha lemonade which was great and had a great balance of matcha and lemonade. I had their blueberry ice tea and it was phenomenal as well, would get it again often! Bowl wise we each got a different açaí based bowl. You can see the size difference of their small and large in my photos. We loved our bowls and even would go as far as saying we prefer this spot over another closely located chain bowl spot. All of the ingredients used tasted fresh and were delicious, the granola used was so good and one of my favorite parts was the peanut butter they used. Both food and drink wise we were very impressed and happy with. Check this spot out!
