We walked in and were greeted almost immediately by a very kind gentleman, he walked us through the process of getting k cups. You tell them what you want and they reach into the bins and collect them for you. The price is great, I can't speak for the bags of coffee, but the k cups are 60 cents each, which I think is a great deal! We were able to walk out with 20 k cups, at least 10 different flavors for cheaper than a 12 pack would be at the local grocery store for one flavor.

In the basket was a 12-ounce bag of ground coffee from Maine's Katahdin Coffee Company. After a few cups, I realized I was drinking some of the very best coffee I ever had in my long coffee drinking life. It had been a very long time since we used ground coffee, because we converted to K Cups years ago (don't hassle me about the environment because we empty out and recycle all those plastic pods). We used one of those "make your own K Cup" plastic/mesh baskets that was banished to a kitchen cabinet for many years, scooped in a few spoonfuls of Katahdin and brewed it in our K Cup machine. My Katahdin coffee was a Medium/Dark variety known as "Baxter Blend". The flavor ran rings around everything else we have in the house. Yes, it was a zillion times better than what I normally drink. Katahdin is sold in quite a few Maine grocery stores and through their website. The website has offerings in 10-ounce, 12-ounce, and 2-lb bags, with choices of ground or whole bean across a few different flavors including Breakfast Blend, Breakfast Blend Decaf, Baxter Blend, French Roast, Maine Whoopie Pie, Hazelnut and Maine Blueberry Pie. Yes, we will be sending out a mail order as soon as we use up every last ground of coffee in that 12-ounce bag.

The kind where you can actually taste the care, the balance, and the craft instead of just "strong bean water." Every cup here feels intentional--from the roast to the pour to the presentation.

Dangerous place, honestly. Once you start drinking coffee like this, the average cup starts tasting like hot regret.

Plenty of street parking right out front so no issues on that aspect. Stepping inside you are welcomed to a lot of art on the walls and an overall rustic feel to the space. They have a good amount of space for you to sit and enjoy your drink and food which we did. Service was friendly and quick by staff who made it a welcoming space. They have a huge menu so everyone will find their drink and possibly flavor to make them happy. Including a variety of seasonal special flavors. My wife and I both ended up going with their iced gingerbread mocha and both got their breakfast sandwich The Works. The sandwich was a sausage egg and cheese with spinach and tomato. A well made tasty sandwich, although some may find it has too much spinach on it. I think despite already being a sandwich with a lot some avocado spread would be a perfect addition. Drink wise they had good flavor and you can taste the high quality of the coffee used. First time stopping here but look forward to revisiting in the future and will search for their beans for coffee at home for sure!

I ordered two of the same drinks and a coffee cake. Unfortunately, the drinks were just okay and nothing particularly memorable. What really caught me off guard was when I politely asked if they could write "Happy Birthday" on one of the cups. The response was a scoff and a no. I completely understand that not every request can be accommodated, but the reaction felt unnecessarily dismissive, especially since the shop wasn't busy and I was the first customer of the morning, about 15 minutes after opening. Small gestures like that can make someone's day, and I thought it was a simple, fun request for a birthday surprise. Other coffee shops in the area would likely have been happy to help make the occasion special. First impressions matter, and unfortunately, this one fell a little flat. I may give it another try someday, but based on this first visit, I left underwhelmed.

They serve good coffee, great bakes, and the overall vibe speaks to me. A few years back, I was in the area visiting another business and recognized Tandem's bicycle logo and immediately became intrigued. I soon discovered that they had a second location here, and told myself if I was ever in the area again I would step in. During this most recent Maine trip, I was making a few last minute stops before heading home, and thought this was as great opportunity to check little Tandem out and get some plural peps. Right from the jump, I noticed the vibe at Tandem Roasters was different. The big Tandem on Congress is large, usually always has a line, and has a large selection of food in addition to the coffee. This Tandem is smaller and more chill - the main floor has some seating around the perimeter, with a smaller room off to the side with more seating. In addition to their merch, they have a decent selection of vinyls to browse. The vibe is overall more chill here - I had time to browse and soak in the aesthetics, whereas you're kinda shuffled down the line at the larger Tandem due to the crowds. The menu is mostly coffee and related beverages; they have a small selection of bakes but it's not nearly as large as their other location. I had already had breakfast, so I decided just to go with a cappuccino. The beverage was good - everything you want out of a cappuccino. Service was also good, I was taken care of promptly and my beverage was ready relatively quickly. Overall, I'm glad I finally got to check this Tandem out. It's a little off the beaten path of the main commercial hub of Portland, however there are a few businesses in the area so it's worth checking out if you're in the area.
