    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

    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)!

    Food is amazing. Most Asian American restaurants load the sugar and salt. Bakers Way did not…read more Second time here. Take out to our boat. pad Thai, Fried Rice, Spring Rolls, and steam dumplings. Dumplings good, everything else exceptional. And we got the biggest yeasty cinnamon bun I've ever seen. Words cannot describe how decadent this was. OMG!!!! I've been coming to Boothbay for 30 years and never knew this place was there. If someone had not sent me would have thought just a bakery. It is that too. I have seen some negative reviews on service. Not fair. There is no table service. You stand at the counter till they have time to take your order. If you are eating there, they will deliver to your table. There is beautiful outside seating. And English is not their first language so patience may be required. And they are from a different culture and it to some that may translate as rude. That has not been my experience nor those lined up for their food or bakery products. A constant stream of takeout. If you like Asian food, funky place, this is it. One more thing. The order we had at most any other Asian restaurant in the area would have been double the cost. 2 entrees large portions, 2 apps and a desert for under$50 bucks!!!

I am not a doughnut person at all, but I always make an exception for apple fritters. So we bought one, and I want to emphasize the word "one" because it was sooooooo huge that it would've just been too much to have gotten more. It was enough for 3 to share, frankly. It was really large. The apple fritter was good, but I have to say, it wasn't my favorite. I've been spoiled by a place near our home (3,000 miles away) where the addition of a noticeable amount of cinnamon with huge apple chunks always steals my heart. Here, at least in the fritter we got, I didn't taste any cinnamon, and honestly, I couldn't taste any apple pieces either. Not sure what was going on. It still tasted good, but I felt like it wasn't well represented for what they claimed it to be. Again, it wasn't bad... it just wasn't great, either.

We initially were going to take a smaller table for the 5 of us, but a couple offered to move so we could push two together. Amazing and so unexpected but appreciated! We all loved our breakfasts - Happy Cakes for the kids included whipped cream, sprinkles and a piece of bacon; the croffle with blueberry compote was delicious; and the breakfast sandwich on wheatberry bread was great. The whole thing was topped off with a story from Kelly (she's also a published author!) and a treat for the kids from her treasure chest. My older two thought it was really sweet and my 8 yo was totally caught up in the story about mermaids and treasure. This was such a delightful stop, we recommend to anyone in the area!

Luckily they do to go orders so you could call ahead and have someone with you go up the stairs or maybe if you ask and can't climb stairs they could meet you at the base of the stairs. Excellent place that's interested in spreading joy!!
