24 Broad St, Bangor, ME 04401

“A gorgeous space with superb coffee and excellent service. The baristas were kind and warm so I stayed a while to experience this beautiful shop. The pastry offerings are stunning and I had to restrain myself from ordering more than I needed. They had this pineapple coconut cake that Im still thinking about hours later. This space is inclusive and welcoming to all which reminds me of my home in Brooklyn, NY but with that Maine niceness 

Bangor is exactly the city I dream of- 1 hour from untouched wilderness and solitude yet also a city of love and acceptance: this coffeehouse adds to this perfect city”

 

“Super cute coffee shop with friendly staff. I had a seasonal latte at the barista’s suggestion and it was lovely. They also have a few vegan baked good options, which was a pleasant surprise. There is ample seating, making it easy to enjoy your coffee without rushing out.”

308 State St, Bangor, ME 04401

“Wow! I did NOT expect to be writing a review for a coffee-to-go hut in Bangor but alas that was the best cappuccino I had in a LONG TIME! My husband got a black coffee with maple syrup and he too remarked at how good it was! I highly recommend the oat milk cappuccino with a drizzle of maple syrup. I'm sad that it's all over and I live so far away, but we'll be back. I'll be sure to let me Bangor friends know to go here. :)”

 

“Are you looking for quick and quality coffee? Are you looking for unique flavors, custom flavors, or even holiday/seasonal flavor coffee? Well, make a stop here! They use local Maine coffees and eco responsible takeout cups and products. Wonderful flavors for any coffee lover, no matter the season. Friendly service. Just right prices. The donuts and baked goods they carry also come from a local bakery and are great (provided you get there before they are gone, quantity is limited). There are several other selections on the drink menu, not just coffee; teas, hot chocolate, lattes and matcha teas...so, I'd definitely say make a stop in for quality hot beverage! Bonne Cafe!”

“Had a wonderful experience. We're spending a couple days in Bangor and decided to check out this spot for breakfast. Service was quick, the employee was lovely, it wasn't too busy, and the food was wonderful.”

 

“Always friendly service, and they remember their regulars. Very well priced food and a variety of options to choose from on the menu - They offer breakfast all day, sandwiches (half and full), paninis, and wraps. Plus they have a large selection of coffee, tea, milkshakes, and some soft drinks. All over a great place to have lunch if you're in downtown Bangor.”

33 Central St, Bangor, ME 04401

“Stopped in for some lunch. You walk to the counter, place your order, and go seat yourself. Your receipt has a number on it. When they call your number you go pick up your tray or take out bag. Very easy. They have a pretty good selection of food, beverages etc. Everything we had was nice and fresh. The woman who took our order was nice and helpful. There was plenty of seating… some counter space, some smaller tables and some community tables. It’s an easy place to get to and there was street parking available.”

 

“Wonderful place. Everything was super fresh. The service was excellent and super quick.”

 

“Super affordable bagels, pastries, coffee, and more! This is a great place to do some studying or work at, or just get a bagel to go! If you don't like too much cream cheese I would definitely suggest that you ask for it on the side. They offer a variety of gluten free, whole wheat, and low fat options, or you can definitely indulge in whatever your heart desires. The people that work there are very nice and efficient as well.”

“The smell is always inviting walking by so after 2 months of going by every day to work I finally stopped in. The drink I got was absolutely wonderful, the PBC. Peanut butter chocolate and coffee, um yes please. I my breakfast burrito was expertly well made and didn't fall apart like so many others do. For being so short staffed the batista and short order were efficient and constantly smiling. A real breakfast jewel in the Heart of The Queen City.”

 

“2nd coffee shop i have been to today. Coffee was served very hot, was delicious, was almost immediately ready, and the staff were super friendly. Would definetly recommend.”

 

“best place for coffee in downtown bangor! they have the amazing flavors for coffee,food is great and they have amazing staff! would recommend the lavender and rose ice coffee!”
