The coffee is great, can't go wrong coming here! Delicious breakfast delicacies too! It's a very cute little shop. Parking on the street is sufficient. As of late May 20206, they're open Wed - Sun, 8am - 2pm. Very kind and welcoming people here at Precipice. Precipice is known for being Maine's first zero emission roaster - powered entirely by solar energy, incredible work here! read more

A happy little accident of stopping at this coffee shop again. They are in a tiny little shop with a fun atmosphere of tons of art all along the walls. With quality ingredients, fun options, and friendly staff. They don't have a restroom but will direct y'all to the gas station nearby. It would be nice if they added small seating outside. read more

There are a couple of coffee shops in the Ellsworth/Surry area, and this one is hands down the best. It is very small, but has a cozy feeling to it. Service here is very fast and is accommodating if you want to have a quick stop before driving to Arcadia. I had the drip coffee here and it was very good. This family oriented shop was very good and carried various coffee drinks and a few pastries. Should I come back to Arcadia park, I will stop by here! read more

I had tried Precipice beans elsewhere and knew that when I got the chance, I would come to the shop and see where the magic happens! Gosh, I think I *may* have found my new favorite coffee spot. Like, ever. The syrups are all made in house and are so fantastic. I've never had a balsam latte before and my word, I could have a steady drip of it every day and be totally content. So. Good. I love fun flavor combinations! The owner and other employees are so kind and I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with them during my visits. It's not a place to sit down in, but in the summer it would be the best spot to take a little stroll around downtown Ellsworth. Infinite stars for this place! read more

Amazing start to our Maine trip! We left the airport and headed straight for Acadia National Park but had to stop here first--and I'm so glad we did. Ironically, this spot shares its name with our first hike in the park, which was epic! The baristas were incredibly friendly and even gave us insider tips for our visit to Acadia. I also met the owner, who lives right behind the shop and clearly pours his heart into every roast. His passion for creating quality coffee and an authentic atmosphere truly shows. Fantastic service, great energy, and phenomenal coffee. Highly recommend! read more

Precipice Coffee - Iced mocha latte with oat milk and fresh blueberry syrup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

What a lovely little stop! The coffee was amazing which isn't a surprise because they roast their own beans and make their own syrups. I got the Apple cinnamon syrup and my 10 oz latte was delish. Super friendly staff! For my vegans, they had alternative milks! (No vegan bakery items but, let's be honest, we don't need the extra calories). Great stop on the way to an Acadia adventure! Also, compostable cups! read more

We went to this coffee shop every single morning on our trip in May of 2025. The coffee is delicious but the vibes are immaculate. They are making the best chocolate chip cookie I have ever had. I think about it at least once a week. When we went they also had this kale and nettle scone(?) and the flavor was so unique. One of the best scones I've ever had. I wish every day this place was in the city I live in. read more

Stopped in for coffee and it did not disappoint! The brew was excellent -- smooth, flavorful, and clearly well-prepared. The menu is surprisingly robust, with plenty of options for every type of coffee lover (and a few fun extras I'll be back to try). We lingered over our drinks and enjoyed the atmosphere just as much as the coffee -- the decor is warm and inviting without feeling overdone. On top of that, the staff was so kind and welcoming, which really made the whole experience stand out. Definitely a spot I'd recommend and one I'll be returning to. read more

Delicious cortado and very enjoyable shishito cheese scone too. Lovely people and a worthwhile stop on our way out of Arcadia.

We stopped by here yesterday on our way out of Bar Harbor to Bangor. Simply put, it was the best cup I'd had during my 4 days in ME. Homemade syrup: Delicious Latte: Strong Pastries: Amazing As I nurse my travel hangover today, I would do anything to have another round. Great job! read more

This place is great! The shop itself is really cute, and I like that it's off on a side street. Service was great--the barista I had was very nice and helpful. Coffee was pretty good, though I did feel like it could've been better with a little less milk, so the coffee flavor would be a bit stronger. Overall recommend! read more

Great coffee and pastries. Charming space and friendly vibe in the shop and neighborhood. Would stop in every day if I lived in Ellsworth!

Nice little coffee shop with fancy roaster and some baked goods. However, they did not have honey or maple syrup to add to the beverage or to drizzle on the ricotta biscuit we purchased. The biscuit was dry and really needed a drizzle of honey. The coffee was decent. read more

We recently spent a week in Acadia National Park and were delighted to stumble across this delightful coffee shop in Otter Creek. Unfortunately for us it was the last day of our trip. Otherwise we would have gone everyday. The blubard pastry was absolutely delicious!!! I also loved the Smoked London Fog. If you are in the area I would highly recommend stopping and giving Precipice Coffee a try. You won't be disappointed. read more
