Best dark flavorful roast ever. Fire on the mountain is my favorite. Dark star is my second choice. New owls head blend is great! read more

Great coffee and great breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Super friendly staff. The homemade English muffin classic egg sandwich with cheese was huge ! Made fresh with scrambled egg and melted cheese. Cold Brew was a treat every morning on my last visit. They offer Almond and Oat milk option too. People are ready to come in When they open at 7:00 AM. read more

I drink A LOT of coffee and this place gave me one of the best lattes I've ever tasted. Fantastic. I'll be back. Small coffee shop, huge flavor. read more

Strongly disagree with posts on here! wow talk about disappointment. We were looking for a good coffee place and bookmarked this place. There is currently terrible construction in front of this business making access aweful. We finally make it in and encountered the slowest and most inefficient people EVER. The cashier didn't know how to punch items into their iPad; didn't know how to place orders, nor run the cash register; and also was not knowledgeable of basic drinks (ie. what a large americano was and how many espresso shots). The guy making the drinks was constantly helping; causing a crazy backlog; and also a lack of focus on the drinks/recipes. Took 20 mins for 2 SIMPLE coffee drinks and we left extremely unsatisfied. I saw the cashier reach into my iced drink and pull out ice WITH HER DIRTY HANDS THAT SHE WAS HANDLING MONEY!!! Ugh. Never again. She was trying to put a lid on my drink; what the... Do yourself a favor and find a Starbucks. This place is not worth your time or money. read more

This was a delicious and inclusive spot. We really enjoyed their delicious coffee, it felt very COVID safe and the clientele were very kind. :) read more

Excellent cappuccino. They roast all their beans right there. Could not get any fresher. We bought 2 bags of fresh beans as well. The town of Rockland is so quaint. We took in a small farmers market across the street from them. Great fun. read more

Best coffee in the world. Huge variety in blends and roasts, amazing baked goods, very fair prices. THIS IS WHERE US LOCALS GO, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT TO KNOW. read more

Service was good, prices were fair, and baristas were friendly here at this nice coffee shop.My wife had an awful (burnt cigarette tasting) iced latte here. My iced coffee was better but not great. The cafe is in a cool spot and they roast the coffee fresh daily. I wish I liked the coffee better but it might just have been the particular coffees we tried read more

Delicious coffee drinks. Hip coffee shop experience with cute bookstore in the way back. Sandwiches were delicious. I got a blt with fried green tomatoes and the bread was grilled so not totally healthy, but sooooo tasty. read more

Picked up a pound of Indian Malabar while in the midcoast this weekend. Clean space with on street parking. All of Rock Cities roasting is done here (their larger cafe with food, music and a bookstore is down the street). This is a good place to stop if you want Rock City coffee and sweets without waiting in line at their other location. read more

Some of the most glorious boutique-roasted coffee in Maine comes from Rock City Coffee Roasters. Rock City has been around since 1992 and has been supplying their own store (a cafe and bookstore) and wholesale accounts on the Maine coast with fresh roasted coffee ever since. Rock City focuses its purchasing on organic and sustainably produced green coffee and concentrates on environmentally friendly manufacturing and business practices. Additionally, they actively raise funds for and donate money to local causes, from soup kitchens to community radio stations to children's services to arts group. They also have given generously in the past to causes supporting disaster relief in hard struck communities like New Orleans and Sumatra. And the coffee's good. Did I mention that? read more

$6 for a cup of coffee is insane for anywhere. Especially Maine. Also doesn't help waiting for almost 15 minutes for it.

I want to double down on my previous review by saying that despite the departure of the charming owner Susanne Ward who signed the place over to her employees who now run it as a cooperative, the skill and service continue under the direction of Kevin and David assisted ably by Jared and Meredith. These are serious coffee people who can expertly deliver a broad range of caffeinated plasma to the desperate customer from early morning to late afternoon. The setting is friendly., Great WiFi. Dog and cat friendly, casual, not stuffy but friendly and easygoing and once they know how you like your drink they will deliver it as ordered. They run on a 7-day a week summer schedule which makes me profoundly happy and grateful; it is my first stop in the morning. read more

Pretty good coffee. Had a cup there and took home some fresh roasted ground coffee (they grind it for you). Not much going on here. A couple of baked goods and some coffee accessories are available but mostly it's the coffee itself that you would come here for. Pricing was fine. In line with similar places. We'll be back. read more

Nice coffee shop. They blend and roast. Nice views of the bay too. We had a couple of lattes and the flavor was very nicely balanced. Great service too! read more

See all

I adore this little spot. The bookstore in the back is an added benefit! Coffee and books, what more could you ask for? I highly recommend the ambrosia. I tried it at the suggestion of the barista, and was not disappointed! read more

While on a trip, I had some coffee made from Rock City beans, loved the flavor, and ordered some packages of beans when I got home. The beans were fine, but I was shorted .7 oz of beans on an 8 oz. bag. I wrote to them about the issue, but didn't receive a response, or even an acknowledgment that my communication had been received. I had been hoping to initiate a subscription, and was especially happy that the company is employee-owned, but quality/quantity control and customer service are at least as important as the quality of beans and roast, so, no thanks. read more

A nice place to have in this part of Maine. The cafe is a decent size, with many coffee selections. The coffee is pretty good, but for the price I expected it to be better. On average, the coffees are $1 per oz. read more

Rock City Coffee Roasters - $12.65 for 12 oz. (though it felt like more) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rockland, Maine

Great place - superb coffee, probably the best you can find in Maine and with very affordable prices!

Very good latte and cappucino! You can tell the beans are freshly roasted. Recommended.

If I could I would do 4.5 because it's not the absolute best coffee I've had, but I was very impressed to find a local coffee roaster on the East coast with such a big selection of delicious coffee and expresso drinks. If you are a West coast coffee junkie that just happens to be in Rockland, go here. The baristas were very friendly and took their time on making my fancy drinks. My dad and I also came here for lunch which hit the spot. They have a latte with maple and bacon flavours which was surprisingly good. Chill place to hang out too. This is a local gem! read more

Decent coffee at a reasonable price. Free wifi with tables to do work. This is the go to place for coffee in this town.

I hate doing reviews on my favorite places because I selfishly don't want to share with any one!!!!This place is one of my most favorite coffees in the country. I ship this every month as does other members of my family other big name companies don't come close! Thank you for such an amazing product! read more

Whenever I am headed to Rockland, I deliberately do a coffee fast so that I'm primed and palate-ably ready for the best coffee experience in the area! I love coffee! So much so, that I roast my own beans and only French press my coffee, (the way that God intended). Rock City always has a wonderful selection of fresh roasts that even the pickiest coffee snob would approve of and secretly enjoy. They don't over-roast their beans, which is my personal pet peeve. They obviously know the nature of the bean that they are using and roast accordingly. I tend to prefer a full city roast which can be tricky, but I always find one there. Additionally, they allow a bit of personality to show through at the counter. It is cerebral, nerdy,(redundant?) and charming. Huge plus!!! They have honey! I hate artificial sweeteners and I love honey in my coffee. They've got it all. Pick up a Lb of the roast of your choosing while you're there. Enjoy! read more

This coffe is so good we have it shipped to our home. We always stop when we are in the area.

I had an iced mocha and chocolate chip cookie yesterday, and they were both excellent. The cookie was huge and soft. The coffe was an excellent blend. Not bitter like some i have tasted. I would recommend this place to friends read more

What the heck? I'm not understanding how these people are qualified to be a coffee roastery.. they don't even know basic latte 101. So a 12 oz, 16 oz, and a 20 oz latte ALL come with just one shot. Your basically paying for milk. I don't know who in there right mind would want 20oz of milk with one espresso shot. How it goes at EVERY other coffee shop in America small 1 shot, med 2, large 3. Stupid I paid 8.50 for a regular latte. I don't know if they are being cheap or what but I still ended up with a 20oz sugary latte where you couldn't taste the espresso. Ya I'd say pass. read more

Excellent coffee! Definitely recommend. I had both caffeinated and decaf and it was all superb.

Excellent coffee, hot or cold, and friendly baristas. I will come back next time I am in Rockland!

Nice and strong espresso, fresh roasted coffee and easy to get too. The only downfall, they don't have white mocha and the iced drinks are a little bit watered down. read more
