This is one of my favorite cafes in the Portland area. It's very close to SMCC so it's easy to hang out there in between classes! The baristas are so friendly and funny, and as a queer person I feel right at home. The orange creamsicle syrup they have right now ROCKS in their iced tea. I got the avocado toast with two eggs, and I'm happy to report they were not shy on the seasoning! You'll be seeing me regularly. Happy pride! read more

Second Rodeo Coffee - Avocado toast with 2 eggs - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Portland, Maine

Kicking off 2026 with my first review and my wife and I wanted to check out a new coffee spot to us. Second Rodeo had just posted their seasonal drink on social media as being Black Forest with chocolate and cherry that could my eye. Second Rodeo is women-owned and a very welcoming space so huge positives there. Like some others I was surprised by how large their space was. Seating options are also vast in what felt like they picked up a variety of vintage furniture along some normal tables/chairs. While most of it did not feel cohesion or of the same vibe I think it works extremely well for what they are going for. Workers were very friendly and did give an accurate estimate of our wait due to being busy which I appreciated. Drink wise they have most of the options you would expect a local shop to have now. My wife got the iced version of their Black Forest Latte. I went with an iced Peppermint Mocha Latte. Both drinks lacked the amount of flavor we expected and thought they were more watery than we had hoped. Due to this and being about half an hour away from us not sure how quickly we will return. If it were local to our area I suspect we would return often enough due to the welcoming and inviting vibes which I'm sure they have many local regulars. If we do return I'll give a hot drink a try in hopes of being better. Do visit this spot though to give them a fair try! read more

Came in with my husband and kids for a late breakfast. The atmosphere was laid back and very comfortable, with plenty of eclectic seating to suit your needs. The pastries looked amazing, but we ordered the avocado toast with sausage and egg, as well as a cinny toast for our toddler. I also ordered a salty honey latte which was really good, and got a cherry almond latte to go. Overall the food was good, and I loved that all their waste is compostable. Best part? They even had several small kids tables with activities! Service was really fast, and there was almost no wait time! read more

Another solid find in SoPo, woman owned and queer safe! They make a great latte and Cortado! Sampled the coffee cake and galette, both were sweet enough without making my teeth ache. Coffee complimented both nicely! Cool, chill space! read more

Such a cute cafe! Stopping by their Queer Book pop-up with Back Cove Books was a perfect kick off to my birthday weekend!

I got a vanilla matcha latte and it was pretty good. The ambiance was nice too. However the baristas weren't very welcoming and hardly said a word to us read more

This is absolutely someone's favorite "neigh"borhod coffee shop! Proudly queer, woman owned, and community-minded, Second Rodeo Coffee located in Ferry Village serves up coffee, espresso-based beverages, teas, made-to-order breakfast sandwiches, and more. Things I love: + The space. It's so much bigger than you think it is from the outside! It's warm and whimsical, and there are seating styles for everyone. Comfy chairs and couches, tables, barstools at the wall, a built-in booth area with loads of pillows, even mini desk-like areas. It doesn't matter if you're working, reading, catching up with friends, or having a meeting, there is a spot for you! + The staff. So friendly, so genuine, so patient, so welcoming! As my fellow Yelper Amaury J wrote, "no pretentious, stuffy coffee shop energy here". + The Avocado Toast. Now, admittedly, I've never had it. But I've seen a few people get it and every time I want to be *that person* who asks if I can take a photo of it because WOW does it seem generous in size! Things I'm underwhelmed by: - I wish they were using a local coffee roaster instead of Vivid Coffee from Vermont. Segue... - The iced coffee and iced lattes are, as my fellow Yelper Aitana B wrote, "not my favorite in the area". In my experience, the iced coffee has seemed watered down somehow; the iced lattes have been very milky (I'd never seen a latte so pale before). - A dollar upcharge on oat milk/only oat milk available. I like this place! It's not my favorite in the area, but I can totally see why it might be yours. read more

Lovely neighborhood coffee shop with plenty of locals, art on the wall, and an easy going vibe. Helpful folks behind the counter. Forwardly pro-LGBTQ supporting. Plenty of space indoors and outdoors! I've had some of their food - all great, including this vegetarian sausage + fresh scrambled egg + cheese on an English muffin I am eating now. Coffee is normal with some espresso options. I'll undoubtedly be back many times read more

Visited for the first time today with a friend after a morning run. I hadn't heard of this place yet, so I obviously had to come see it! There was a cold water plunge event nearby, so lots of people visited here after the event. 1. Ambiance - beautiful, whimsical, bright! Think pink pony club but a soft cafe version. I love the art, and the pastel decoration. Lots of natural lighting and seating indoors. 2. Food - They make creative sandwiches, but we split a pastry for a late breakfast. We got it warmed up and it was a tasty treat. 3. Drinks - Both of us got matcha lattes. Not my favorite matcha in the area. The were pretty clumpy, so we didn't finish the bottom portion of the drink. Top part was nice! It's only fair that I come back to try coffee since that's what they're focused on. Overall I liked this place. I'll probably come back just to sit and read or grab a latte to walk on the greenway with. I hope the matcha lattes improve, but everyone else seemed really happy with their coffees so I'll try that next time. read more

This place is everything. Come for the coffee and food, stay for the whimsical, cozy vibe that just pulls you in. Neighborhood coffee shops always have my heart, and Second Rodeo Coffee is no exception. I could've easily spent the entire day there, book in hand, sipping on their delicious coffee. The staff was so warm and welcoming from the moment I walked in -- no pretentious, stuffy coffee shop energy here. The seating options were amazing, with everything from couches to benches to tables, making it so easy (too easy?) to settle in and get comfortable. The coffee was fantastic. The food was delicious. I had the breakfast egg sandwich with waffles as the bread (yes, waffles!), and I'm already plotting my return for another. What a great addition to South Portland! read more

Looooooved Second Rodeo. Amazing, cowgirl-themed decor, women and queer owned, great vibes. Friendly staff. A super thoughtful space with a small but mighty menu. I might avoid the nondairy milk next time, but other than that, I was wowed by this coffee shop! Incredibly homey and utterly cool. What a gem in SoPo! read more

Local business with great staff! Service and coffee are excellent warm and welcoming ambience. Love the locally made cookies by Zuzu!

Excellent coffee! I ordered the iced latte with salty honey and it was delicious! Definitely recommend! 10/10!

We're house/dog sitting for our daughter and her husband in SoPo and she suggested we drop in. Thank you daughter! Really great experience all around. We had a smooth and delicious latte (me) and one of the absolute BEST matcha lattes my wife has had! Hit the repeat button and have now been in on three consecutive days. We've not delved into food yet but def will soon. Congrats, Lana, on your new place! It's a fun and comfortably eclectic space that is so welcoming, particularly on these chilly, early days of winter. We'll be back!! read more

Nothing to complain about here, nice spot, good coffee, I had a breakfast sammy and it was decent. I kinda wish the vibe fit in a tad more with some of the more old school people around here, but the winds of change they come for everyone, even in Ferry Village. read more

New! It's nice to have a coffee shop in an area that has plenty of street parking and there's really not much else around which I will say is a bit refreshing. Perfect spot to just go for coffee without any other distractions. The coffee of pastries are top-notch. I found it to be a good place to work from my laptop so I will be back. read more
