"Dark Mocha" ???
Massimo C.

Update 10/13/20: I was contacted by Aroma Joe's and was sent a gift card so I could try again. Upping my review to 3 Stars for Customer Service. I'm looking forward to trying out Aroma Joe's again. Avoid!!!!! This is what people in Maine think is good coffee? At first sight you think this place must be amazing. A non-moving line on each side of the building? People are waiting a long time for some great coffee! You would think with drive-thru Windows on each side the line would move quicker. Well... service is ridiculously slow for HORRIBLE coffee. We waited at the very least 45 minutes! Ended up paying $15 for 3 coffees and a chai that no one drank. Coffee had no flavor despite requesting 3 different flavors. The chai tasted like NO OTHER chai ever. We're not sure what it even was. My coffee (pictured) was the "Dark Mocha" the description totes "chocolate on chocolate on chocolate" and it's supposed to be made with chocolate milk. The girl taking our order said "it didn't come up like that". I'm not sure what that meant. But, my coffee is pictured below. You would thin at the very least there'd be a chocolate drizzle, or even some sort of dark color. I also asked for double shot of espresso, pretty sure that wasn't in there either. I will never come back to this place. Ever.

Fantastic to see a coffeeshop open in this area on busy route 26; set up for serious double drive-through action no-less! Watched the construction for a while and finally got a chance to check it out. Good news first: Friendly, fast and well trained baristas & the shop is set up with serious commercial espresso machines & grinders -- always a good sign. The drive-through setup is really nice and convenient as well and they've clearly selected good cups and lids to complement the grab and go drivers. Espresso/latte was very good as well. The only odd touch is the ludicrous sizes they offer - if you hit up the "serious" coffee nerd shops you'll always get the side-eye or a snobbish reply if you want anything larger than a 6oz or 12oz drink. Not here though - if you want your "Sticky Bunn" latte in a 32oz big gulp tub then by gosh they are gonna give you what you want. The ham and cheese croissant was a miss though. It tasted good but looked like it had been run over by a steam roller. It was smashed almost perfectly flat and looked like a sad flaky drink coaster sitting in the little takeout bag. My only guess is that whatever system they have for slicing pastry needs a bit of fine tuning as this poor croissant had clearly been tortured in the assembly phase. The menu and brand marketing is hilarious and reminds me of a bygone era. If you reanimated the corpse of Poochie from the Simpsons and told him to brand a coffeeshop chain I think you'd end up with a similar looking menu and brand identity. Every menu category is "Somthin'" - ("Espressin", "Brewin", "Tweakin", "BreakFASTin", etc. etc.). The only thing missing from the menu is the word "extreme" repeated everywhere but they've got that covered when you want to add an "XX Freaky Flavor" syrup or "Espresso BOMB" to your drink. At some level you gotta think that the franchise operators must be a little bit embarrassed by what corporate is forcing on them. I'll be back, I need my fix.

The food and drinks here are really good. Especially the hand crafted soda. Service is good. Sometimes, it takes a while if it is busy.

The drinks are great but they filled the cup so high that when you go to drink it. The coffee spills all over. Very messy!

We walked in here only because the place across the street was closing and recommended this as an…read moreoption. I saw the gelato and immediately knew this was my place. They make their own everything. Including the gelato. I was met with exceptional service. The menu was big and the food was really well done. My husband d enjoyed a Ruben and I had a salad with chicken. It was all fresh, flavorful, and well done. The gelato was just the icing on the cake. Cute place, clean bathroom, street parking. I'll be back for more.

This was hands down one of the worst meals I have ever had out at restaurant…read more The waiter was great but frazzled. He was the host, server, bartender and walker and had 7 tables seated. It was my birthday so I redeemed a grey goose martini and it was watery and had stuff floating in it like pine needle pieces? The olives were tiny and as shriveled as my exes heart. There was no bread without a charge or other pre meal taste which was disappointing for the price point. My risotto meal was actually inedible. I took one bite and had my husband try it and put down my fork. The risotto had the consistency of a dollar store bag of instant rice and the flavor of a watered down packet of chicken ramen seasoning. The steak was not like any other flank steak I have ever had. It was overcooked and still cold and the texture was off. It had a weird balsamic sauce that did nothing for it. Husband got a chicken parm and ate it all because he was starving but the sauce tasted old and had an aftertaste. I have never done this before in my life but I ordered a pizza while I was sitting waiting for the check. I had waited all day for a special birthday dinner and was left hangry in the end. There were a lot of people there and they seemed to be enjoying their food and the ratings were good. This may be a case of being a small town 8/10 but a 1/10 in Portland. Big nope on the books for this one.
