    dock across the street!

    Dan & Silvia have the cutest shop! We have gone here every morning during our trip to Boothbay & definitely recommend if you're wanting some good coffee & yummy breakfast! Silvia is so talented, she makes all the signs, food, and drinks! We got the berry oats, veggie breakfast sandwhich, and coffee! We spun the wheel, such a cute touch! Heidi ordered drip coffee both days & I ordered oat milk lattes. We enjoyed it on the dock across the street :) Go to Red Cup if you're in the area, we loved it! - Heidi & Maddie

    Vegetable breakfast sandwich

    A beloved local place and must visit for any tourist, this is a walk up place for coffee and simple breakfast items. It was OK the coffee was fine but the breakfast sandwich was actually rather basic. Per person for a sandwich, beverage, and tip was $25. There's no seating but ample outdoor public seating, which is fine in good weather.

    Breakfast bagel: eggs, cheese, sausage, and choice of bagel. I go for cinnamon raisin to get the savory/sweet!

    My favorite breakfast sandwich in BBH: eggs, cheese, sausage, and a cinnamon raisin bagel. Delicious and hot every time. Good coffee. PRO TIP: order online at their website. Sometimes the order line gets really long. I put my order in and it's ready by the time I walk down there.

    Whenever I'm in the area, it's a must that I stop and enjoy the most charming spot in Boothbay Harbor, Maine: the Red Cup Coffeehouse. Today we order and split the Blueberry Cinnamon Bun and the Iced Salted Carmelita which were both super delicious and super fresh. A true taste of Maine at its finest. I appreciate their mission statement that their coffee is "Produced sustainably with regard to environmental impact, without the use of non-organic fertilizers and pesticides". Not only were the food beverages tasty, but they were served with so much pride and joy, that it was a pleasure to visit again - as briefly as it was. I especially love the outdoor window for quick service. Also - I give props to owner Paul Johnson for going along with my James the Great joke... Long live James the Great and his Iced Coffee Iced Salted Carmelita Two shots of espresso, sea salt, caramel syrup, and milk served over ice Red Cup Coffeehouse @redcupbbh 29 Commercial St, Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538

    Looks & taste like a microwaved egg gross!

    Ughhh $10 for microwaved egg sandwich?! There are around 5 egg sandwich options so I would avoid. They were nice so they get a star but won't be back. Get something else if you come here.

    The best freshest almond or chocolate croissants you'll ever have!!! Great coffee too!!! They also serve breakfast sandwiches, chowder and soups. It's a order and pickup at the window . No seating...

    We came here on a Saturday mid-morning and the place was BUSY. Despite the long queue winding through and around the full tables, the staff remained friendly and efficient through each transaction. When it was our turn, we didn't feel hurried at all! Grabbed a large cold brew, a croissant filled with nutella, and an almond croissant filled with marzipan. The coffee was great -- I wish there had been a pitcher of alternative milk available on the DIY area (with the lids, stirrers, and stuff), but there was only whole and 1/2 and 1/2. It seems soy or almond is a $1.00 upcharge (a bummer when you just want a splash for your iced coffee). I also wish that the area with baked goods had been labeled - I would have loved to have known what was what, and if anything was gf or vegan. Finally, it's such a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere but that leads to A LOT of big groups and strollers taking up floor space. Part of the confusion with the line was genuinely no one knew where it started or how to get to it because of the obstacle course the room had become. Overall, I did like this place though! I found it charming and was impressed with how the staff handled the never ending line of people. I'd probably come much earlier next time (also, skip the almond croissant and go directly for the nutella filled one -- #yourewelcome)!

    Very good. Excellent lattes, service, location, bagels, and americanos. The cutest little place!

    I enjoy the ICED SALTED CARMELITA every time I am in town. It is also just as good with oat milk. The Breakfast Pizza is awesome also.

    My coffee was fine but it cost over $10. The service was good but I don't think that it was worth the price.

We ordered the peach and watermelon salad as an appetizer while the watermelon and the dressing were amazing. I swear the peaches were canned. That was very disappointing. One of my dining companions ordered the brandy lobster, which is really an appetizer, but she had it for dinner. It came with gnocchi and was so rich and fabulous. We had ordered a side of bread and I was dipping my bread in the brandy lobster sauce. Another diner ordered the scallops with sweet potato risotto, and I had the lazy lobster that came with risotto. I can't even begin to tell you how good all of them were. The food was excellent. My risotto had corn and was a little toothsome, a little more toothsome than the sweet potato risotto. The scallops came with a mashed avocado and roasted beets. My lazy lobster came with asparagus. It was all fabulous. Our server had a few too many tables, but all in all the service was good. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

While we enjoyed the food we ordered, our server was somewhat rushed, impatient with us, and clearly needed to turn the table FAST. This is a popular restaurant that does not take reservations, so we went early at 5:30 and had no trouble getting a table outside on the third floor deck. Our server arrived and asked for our drink order just as the menus were dropped, and we said we needed a minute. This was the first hint that she had no time for our nonsense! She did return a few minutes later to take our drink order and asked to place our appetizers. Drinks and apps came out lightning fast, clearly pre-made and sitting. The fried oyster appetizer was delicious. For dinner we tried the lobster risotto, which was much much better than I expected given the vibe of the restaurant. When it came time for dessert our waitress asked what we might want after reciting what they offered. We chatted for a moment among ourselves, which was apparently too long, and she huffed off saying she did not have time for this, and would return. Clearly they wanted the table, and for us to leave, so we did. I get it, Boothbay Harbor is busy and filled with tourists. Some of the restaurants (like this one, and their sister spot) don't even try hard with service. We've had some good as well as excellent dinner in this small town. There's no reason for such poor and rushed service. A shame as the food was pretty good. Don't expect to stay here more than 45 minutes or so for your dinner. Given our service experience, I think I'd be hard pressed to come back here.

Then you order and some of the most fresh, deliciously consistent and perfect portion food comes out of the this little piece of heaven!! You order before you sit, space is limited yet so worth the wait. We went and sat in the back garden the first time which is cute but you miss the harbor view. The second time we got there before the opened so we were first in line. We sat outside on the harbor side. Picture perfect. But let's talk about the most important food. Blueberry pancakes with real Canadian maple syrup. I am ruined for life there will never be another blueberry pancake quite like it!! Then wait for it...crab omelette. Now you know I live my omelets and we make some good one in Cali. Well Blue Moon gets a Cali approval from me. Just enough crab meat not stingy and did I say how fresh this crab was!!! I love my Cali food for the freshness. Not all places in Maine had the freshness but Blue Moon had the freshness. A plus plus plus!!
