St. Joe's Café in Scarborough totally delivers on the cozy neighborhood café vibe, and both the…read moreTurkey A.B.L.T. and The Chuck are worth coming back for. The coffee is strong and flavorful, a big step up from chain spots, and fits perfectly with their hearty breakfast-and-lunch menu. The Turkey A.B.L.T. eats like an upgraded turkey club, with avocado, bacon, and a little smoky heat that makes it feel like a "real" café sandwich, not deli counter fare. The Chuck is a classic, hefty breakfast sandwich--simple, filling, and exactly what you want with a morning coffee. Service is friendly, portions are generous, and it's an ideal stop for locals or a pre‑beach bite. Best turkey sandwich ever!!!!!!! fresh cut off the bird fresh. wicked

Heat up the quiche and the focaccia for the best tasting experience. Staff and baristas are warm and friendly and knowledgeable about their offerings! Plenty of shaded patio seating and we lucked out with a breezy, gorgeous New England summer day! Hubby got a lemonade to go as we were leaving and it has a lovely herby flavor...we think it's lavender and rosemary. Perfect for summer.

We read that there would be a line and yes there was, but a short one (we would have stayed either way). The line went fairly fast. Our order taker was nice and friendly. We ordered the egg breakfast sandwich, jalepino cheese biscuit and the earl gray iced blueberry scone. The coffee of choice was the malt ice coffee. Ok. Rating the food: Breakfast sandwich-ciabatta bun-slightly sweet and very buttery..nicely fried egg and sausage YUM Jalepino cheese biscuit- salted top, jalepinos mixed inside with cheese. Nice and crisp on outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. Earl gray iced blueberry scone- exciting!! Nicely baked with real blueberry. That icing tho - just the right sweetness! The malt ice coffees-great coffee flavor with a hint of malt - YUM Overall one of my own MUST TRY suggestions for anyone visiting Portland and needing a breakfast and coffee!

I could only finish less than 1/2 of my sandwich I ate the egg some avocado some onion & just a bit less than half the eng muffin. Sensational sandwich. Next time I'llne having the breakfast burrito sans the potato ( not on my kidney diet) I had to buy the Honeycomb night shirt for my bride who collects night shirts. She must wear 20 different ones. I'm guessing she picks the ones to wear based on her mood of the day. Love my wife to pieces. Rave reviews I understand why

Anyway, after a couple of months, I headed back to Honeycomb and since then, have been back around six times. Why? They have a tremendous selection of delicious breakfast sandwiches They have a wonderful coffee bar They make excellent baked goods, especially donuts, especially their donut holes. You can sit inside or walk around to the back of the building and sit at picnic tables.

Very clean and friendly. Plenty of parking…read more I stopped in for a cup of coffee and saw that they had a full case of warm breakfast food. I chose a breakfast sandwich. Which was still hot. Everyone was friendly and engaging. I had a very pleasant conversation with a gentleman who worked there regarding my car. If you change the surroundings, you'd think you were at a small town general store where every knew everyone else. Definitely will continue to return in my trips in to Portland!

This morning a couple of the machines went down and the young ladies there just switched it quickly to Paper orders so that the service could continue smoothly.

My wife and I are always looking to try new to us coffee spots. Today was our first visit to…read moreScarborough Grounds and left not that impressed. I will say this review is not factoring in food as we did not order any so maybe that's where they shine the brightest. Being located on Route 1 I suspect make them a popular spot for tourists to visit. Plenty of parking available which is a plus and they do have a drive thru too. The overall vibes inside are kinda your typical coffee shop that serves food. Nothing off putting but also nothing that sets them apart or makes it memorable. When we stepped inside the line for ordering was about just as far as it could stretch inside and we had an extremely long wait to place our order. The staff definitely seemed overwhelmed and an extra person or two would have went a long way. Drink wise we liked the sound of their specials but unfortunately they were out of blueberry flavoring so chocolate covered blueberry latte was not available. Very disappointing. My wife ended getting the Lemon Cookie Latte and I got the S'mores Latte. Both drinks were just kind of alright and lacked flavor as much as many other spots we have been to. The drinks were at least made quickly. Disappointing enough experience with so many coffee options in the area that we likely won't return.

I also got an iced vanilla latte - thoroughly enjoyed the latte! Four adults and a toddler sampled a bunch of donuts - sounds like the start of a terrible joke...These are my notes on all of the donuts and not a consensus from the group, in no particular order. Woopie pie: 4 stars - good flavor and texture, nice way to begin this sampling experience. Bacon cheddar fried donut: 5 stars - delicious, amazing flavor, served hot, good distribution of fillings; would gladly have this again! Margarita: 3 stars - definitely taste the salt and lime, little bit of tequila as well; glad I experienced this, not something I'll go back for. Key lime holy cannoli: 5 stars - love the texture of the donut, light and fluffy, good lime flavor and enjoyed the cannoli cream. Creme brulee: 3 stars - good flavor, the crystallized chunks of sugar were a nice touch; I had high hopes, and it was alright but not life changing - that's on me. Maple: 3 stars - typical maple donut, not overwhelming with flavor but definitely knew it was maple. Maple bacon: 4 stars - lots of bacon, almost balanced by the maple. Blueberry lemon: 5 stars - really great lemon flavor to the glaze, blueberry flavor comes through the donut nicely; looking forward to having this again! Vanilla holy cannoli: 5 stars - again, love the texture of the donut, classic flavor with the cannoli cream; I would gladly eat a whole one of these! Chocolate sea salt: 3 stars - good chocolate flavor, didn't get much of the sea salt coming through. Pomegranate: 4 stars - very sweet, good amount of pomegranate flavor; could not eat a whole one as it would be too sweet for me. Honey lavender: 5 stars - mmm, honey and lavender partnered nicely, sweet but not obnoxiously so, loved how well the lavender flavor came through; I very much so enjoy botanicals in sweet treats and lattes. Toasted coconut: 5 stars - deliciously sweet coconut taste, nostalgic flavor of something my grandma use to make, I really enjoyed it! Such a fun way to bond with friends and spend a relaxing morning on vacation! Would gladly get donuts here again, and now that i know my favorites, I can be more intentional with my order next time

Not overly sweet donut, but the different glazes can be. Such a unique flavor that's is delicious. We ordered 4 donuts (dark chocolate sea salt, lemon, Whoopie pie, coffee brandy) and an Americano and a coffee. The drinks were good. The donuts - Wowzer! Wanted to try the blueberry one too but sold out. My favorite was the chocolate... hubbys was coffee brandy one. They do have some merch to select as well and they have their whole bean coffee available. The service was great. You will pay for these gems of deliciousness - like $4+ a donut. Doesn't matter - just order them! So good.

They also got grab and go sandwiches and other stuff that might interest you. But over all good place to grab a cup of your favorite coffee drink!
