I came here to replenish my coffee beans, having miscalculated how much to bring on my camping…read moretrip. Their beans are from a small local roastery. That matters to me. Time and Tide in Biddeford. Since I was there I had a cup too, because why not. It was decent, but maybe just the slightest bit weak? Or maybe not. Lots of fancier options too but I don't go for those. They have a selection of baked goods. I think they're all from other small local businesses, not made here. I had a lemon blueberry scone with the coffee which was outstanding. Delightfully light in texture, not heavy or greasy, and not overly sweet. Lemony of course and the blueberries were plentiful, tangy, and small. I'd guess they were wild Maine blueberries (frozen of course this being April) but I'm not sure. A maple glaze completed this masterpiece. They didn't forget the chocolate lovers. A very dark enormous brownie called to me but reluctantly I passed. Maybe tomorrow. It annoys me when bakeries don't have any chocolate offerings. From the hand pie selection I chose a Carrot, Leek, and Goat Cheese for later. Also outstanding. The crust was flaky, not dry, subtly buttery, and just the right thickness for the filling which was generous. (It made it all the way to the edges, which many hand pies do not.) Decorated with thyme leaves. The filling was sweet, which I thought was just from the caramelized leeks but I read on the wrapper that sugar is also an ingredient. Just the right amount. The carrots were "rainbow", in several colors, and very pretty. Pretty expensive at $8 but for the size and quality I'm glad I got it. The place is very small but looks like a comfortable place to hang out. A few small tables, walls decorated with painted flowers and vines. The counter people were nice and thanked me for coming in. Customers were mostly engrossed in conversations, not absorbed into their devices. Even though it was just a quick stop for take-out I enjoyed my visit.

My partner and I had a cocktail and beer and they were delicious. The atmosphere here is relaxed with great music and comfortable lighting and decor.

I've been a fan of Wicked Joe coffee for sometime now. I'm not sure if it's because I worked in…read moreBrunswick for a spell or if because growing up in Lewiston/Auburn Wicked Joe was more prevalent on our grocery shelves then any other locally made coffee was... But I've always appreciated their delicious roasts! I had the opportunity to check out their open house in December and am so glad I braved the cold and snow to do so. I'm not entirely sure if they're open to the public normally, but part of me hopes they are (or would consider it at least two or four times a year). This is a beautiful space that should be celebrated and used as frequently as possible. We got to sample many different blends and actually watch coffee roast (which I had no idea was such a quick process - from white to yellow to tan to brown). Also, wanna talk about passionate, community-oriented people? The folks behind the Wicked Joe (and Bard) brand(s) definitely are; and they're intensely knowledgeable about coffee, too. What you don't know is that the entire Bard staff is trained thoroughly at this Wicked Joe locale on a set-up identical to one at the actual coffee shop. Each barista has to make every drink on the menu perfectly before they can serve you at Bard. My respect for that coffee shop multiplied by a thousand when I found that out! Also, as a side note, the actual roast of the coffees are different for the two brands - definitely important to remember and point out!

Maine really has an incredible local coffee shop scene, and LRC is another welcome addition to it…read more Their motto? "We're about a good cup of coffee, delicious locally-sourced food, and being a welcoming and comfortable space to work, visit, or dream in Lisbon Falls." Their two major partners are Black Ink Coffee out of Bangor and the Italian Bakery out of Lewiston. This might not seem like a big deal, but there are so many places opening up in Greater Portland now that don't use a local coffee roaster and I don't get it. So, thanks LRC! The space has seating in front (it feels like these are the most coveted ones, as they're comfortable chairs with armrests located in front of their floor to ceiling windows overlooking the street) and some more basic two and four top tables in the back. The staff? So friendly! They were super patient when I had loads of questions, they made recommendations (like secret menu kind of stuff!), and they double-check our specific order, I think the coffee itself is good (hot, iced, or cold brew specifically); the specialty latte menu is really fun! It changes seasonally, and they're creative enough options that you'll want to come back to find out what the new line-up is. For me, though, they are too, too, too sweet. The sweetest latte I've ever had, honestly. It tasted like I was drinking melted ice cream. So, if you like a sugar forward, milk forward drink, get it as is. If you like a more coffee forward drink, PRO TIP, ask for half the amount of syrup and double up your espresso shots as well.

Our smoothie took about 5-10 minutes after ordering and enjoyed the taste since we wanted something a little sweet with some fiber. The oatmeal cookie wasn't my favorite since they added an additional citrus flavor and I'm not usually a fan of zesty desserts. Overall, its a cute and decent size cafe where you can easily spend hours working or relaxing. There are about 10 small tables to sit at so there weren't any seats when we were there. Would come again to try some of their many other dessert options.

I was pleased to find out that I could also grab a latte, to go, from Ritual. The space is beautiful and the staff was wonderful! I was a bit skeptical of the breakfast sandwich, as it looked like it would be mostly bread (not sustenance), but I was wrong. Inside that pillowy (I assume potato-based roll) was a delicious egg, bacon and special sauce combination! I will be stopping here again, in the future!

Hopefully I can talk myself out of visiting again today.

The space is very unique, a very comfortable, open place to enjoy some coffee and a bagel. The bagels were decent for the area, but not my favorite type of bagel (a little bready). I thought it was a little pricey for what I got, but with a line as long as it was, Dutchman's can justify the prices. I'm picky when it comes to bagels, so my rating is reflective of that. I am of the opinion that New York/New Jersey bagels are the pinnacle of the bagel world, and the further away from New York you get, the harder it is to find somewhere that gets close to meeting that standard. I'd still stop by if I'm in town again, as long as I get there before the big morning rush. Not sure it would be worth the 20+ person line.

The wait wasn't long and the staff was already cracking jokes and very pleasant. If it's any indication of how much the customers love this place, in line I listened as a regular was offering to bring by his own soil tiller for a barista. Got a Reuben at 7:00 in the morning and it was delightful. Very specifically, the bread was buttered and toasted perfectly and it was a great portion! The chai was also nice, very well balanced. The ambiance of the coffee shop is lovely, bright, light, some nice music, the lounge is a nice spot as well! Overall, this was a delightful start to my day, I will be back soon!

We ordered two turkey sandwiches and a tuna salad on a bagel, so nothing cooked, besides the toasted bread. While waiting about 25-30mins for our food, it got really hot inside. I looked up at the built in fans/vents in the ceiling and noticed they were filthy. I was afraid if I had asked for air to be turned on, that dust would have shot onto people's food! There was also a situation where the man behind the register needed a choice made by an elderly customer that had already taken a seat. She shouted out the answer to his question and he responded rather loud and rudely for her to "Next time come to the counter! I don't like yelling across the room!" (Or something to that extent) Whatever it was, it seemed really aggressive and unprofessional, not to mention disrespectful. The sandwiches were good, had fresh ingredients, but I'm not sure this place was throwing the right vibes for me to revisit.
