So nice, I visited twice. And I think this might be the best coffee shop in Boothbay, and if you're going anywhere else... you're missing out. You want a reliably good coffee drink? A smoothie made with fresh produce to help break up the copious amounts of fried seafood you're consuming? A quiet place to read or do work or have a meeting or rest before your adventures? Brisettos. Brisettos. Brisettos. (Seriously, do yourself a favor and go check out their upstairs. It's spacious, loads of comfortable seating, and really fun people watching with the boats boarding across the street.) I came at 9am to get a 16 oz cold brew, black. I came again at 1pm and the guy behind the counter looked at me and said, "Welcome back. Another 16 oz cold brew? Black?" What kind of sorcery is this? There were loads of people in front of me and behind me during my AM visit, so it's not like I had time for much of an interaction with them; they were slammed. And when I came back there were a couple people in front of me ordering more complicated drinks. But they remembered me! And if you look at their reviews across the internet that's the thing you'll see stand out: they lock in on their customers, they make you feel like you're a part of their community, they see you. I feel seen through more often than not now when ordering, so this is something tremendously special (and a hell of a skill to have). Brisettos is the ONLY answer for coffee in Boothbay. read more

We stayed at an RV park up the road and were on the desperate search for a coffee shop that opened by 7 AM so we popped on Yelp and found Brisetto's 2nd cup. I ordered a dirty chai, which is very tasty and deliciously warm and my spouse ordered a latte which is delicious. They do offer some pastries, but we did not indulge. The barista is super nice. read more

Wowowowow! I love Brisetto!s because their drinks have so much to offer. The menu includes cappuccino, lattes, espresso, mocha, smoothies, and fresh juices. After spending loads of time in Boothbay I've come to the conclusion that you get the most bang for your buck at Brisetto's. Their coffee is bold but not overpowering, they have loads of syrups to flavor your drink, and they have incredible seating. The second floor has what looks like a living room full of couches, tables, and a view of the harbor. read more

Brisettos is a hidden gem just beyond the bustle of the harbor. I'm so glad I kept walking, because I would've missed this charming little coffee shop entirely. The iced dirty chai latte was perfectly balanced not too milky, with just the right kick of spice and espresso. The owner was incredibly warm and personable, making the experience even more enjoyable. Cozy, welcoming, and full of character. Brisettos has officially become my go-to coffee spot in Boothbay. read more

Brisetto's is a small little coffee shop at the end of town! It has a significantly shorter line than Red Cup but the coffee is worth the 50 extra steps! They have a large offering of flavorings and though there's no official food menu, they have snacks and goodies! read more

Delicious coffee. Friendly service. The chocolate croissants looked good, but I was only looking for coffee this time. read more

They don't serve tea, and they are rude about it. Having never been to a coffee place that doesn't serve tea, I walked out saying that was really stupid. Then, as you can see below, he called me names for posting a bad review. You can see why I said he was rude. There are plenty of other places nearby for breakfast, so I recommend trying them. read more

My goodness this cup of coffee was full of coffee bean flavor. I love the bold richness of their coffee. How anyone could like a cup of coffee from Starbucks bitter burnt cup after experiencing a cup from this establishment is nuts! This place puts any other coffee to shame. Enjoyed sipping every drop as the fog rolled across the bay. read more

For me this is the best coffee shop in Booth bay harbor! Great coffee good breakfast items and wonderful service. Beautiful ambiance on the second floor. read more

Some of the best coffee north of Portland - definitely worth a stop for their rich coffee drinks - especially appreciated during summer. They also sell a small selection of locally baked breakfast items and their beans. read more

Greatest coffee shop on mud Atlantic coast of Maine. Personalized service and more importantly, the best ground, tastiest beans!

Excellent service. Espresso Martini and Old Fashioned very good. Iced Latte the best I ever had. Very, very good place. read more

Fresh pressed made to order juices are delicious! Very pretty upstairs with a view of the harbor.

I'm a cold brew snob and I have to say it really hits the mark. Great coffee, definitely the best place in town for it. Plus the upstairs sitting area is so beautiful with an incredible view. Loved starting our mornings here! read more

Warning!! Only visit this charming, delightful, enchanting local coffee shop if you want to be welcomed wholeheartedly, treated like family, and reminded why you fell in love with coffee runs in the first place! ...or introduced to a wonderful new passion! Also BIG warning -- no cup of coffee will ever be half as good. Florin has a magical ability to transform an ordinary coffee shop into a perfect place for locals to bump into each other and catch up, for visitors to connect, and for lasting friendships to be made. I was privileged enough to spend the past two summers in Boothbay Harbor. In no time at all, visiting Florin's coffee shop quickly became a daily self-care ritual. No matter the circumstance -- a quick cup, a vent session, a need for a quiet place to work, a sun-soaked lounge on the patio -- Florin never failed to graciously offer service with a smile. I dare you to visit Brisetto's Second Cup and leave with anything but a smile. The coffee is fantastic, the smoothies are invigorating, the energy bursts with positivity, and the service is unparalleled. Thank you, Florin, for being the best start to most of our summer days!!

I only had hot chocolate here, but I wish I had the opportunity to try more...and to have more hot chocolate! Brisetto's hot chocolate was fantastic to me, and while everything is personal, the way it's made here is exactly the way I like it -- not too sweet, not too heavy or too thin, but with rich flavor and 'weight' to it. The staff members are friendly and patient. The shop's menu had loads of coffee, tea, and smoothie options, as well as a variety of pastries. There's a small table or two on the ground level, and plenty of seating in the large, bright second-floor space, with wonderful views of the harbor, Bay, and town. Given the opportunity, I will definitely return! (One Note: There's a pricey parking lot just across the street, but I'd recommend parking a couple of blocks up the hill in the MUCH more affordable municipal parking lot.) read more

Great coffee & great service. A sweet little space with a delicious iced mocha latte!

The owner is very nice. The coffee is great. The workspace upstairs is awesome. So glad that there's a place like this in BBH.

I picked up coffee for my boyfriend and I one morning during our weekend stay in Boothbay, and went to Brisetto's as recommended to me by a family member. Florin, the owner (and barista), was extremely friendly! It was great to learn more about the story behind the meaning of "Second Cup" (the original Brisetto's Coffee is in Romania!) Also, our coffees were delicious! It was also great to find dairy-free milk options for my iced coffee. I would highly recommend an iced coffee with almond milk, raspberry, and vanilla flavoring! read more

Lattes/espresso was really good but my partner's hot coffee was watery which wasn't the first time. In a nice location but sometimes it's too crowded, one person working. read more

Great coffee and excellent service, Florian remembers what you order and does a great cappuccino!

Every time we travel to a vacation destination my husband and I look for a local coffee shop. We found this one using Yelp and it didn't disappoint. I can honestly say this was the best latte I've ever had in my entire life, and I try a lot of coffee! It was the most smooth creamy and flavorful with the perfect amount of sweetness. my only disappointment was that we returned a couple hours later to literally have a "2nd cup" but the store was already closed for the season. If you are in town while this store is open you should definitely stop by! read more

Clean and welcoming coffee cafe with one of the best views of the harbor. Coffee is delicious and the customer service was friendly and professional. My husband and I bought coffee here everyday during our stay. This is a gem in the village of Boothbay Harbor! Great Family story don't miss reading about it. read more

Amazing!! Very friendly and helpful service, and our lattes and coffee were to die for--so smooth and delicious! There was even a lot of care given to our smoothie, which had a ton of fruit in it. Super pleased with everything. read more

Any coffee shop that offers a dark roast is a 5 in my book. Bakery items were good as well.

Brisetto's is an amazing local coffee shop with a good selection of drink options including espresso drinks, juices, and smoothies. The owner is friendly, efficient, and genuinely cares about his customers. I had a 24oz. iced latte with caramel and it was $8.00 (including tax) and although that is on the pricey side, it's understandable since it's from a small business and really good. Bathrooms are tiny so your knees are almost hitting the wall but honestly, it's nice to find a bathroom in a shop in Boothbay. I love the upstairs area with the large windows overlooking the harbor and the wooden vibes with the rustic-looking lighting fixtures. A few different seating options with upstairs having couches and chairs area for lounging, a long table with metal chairs good for you and your friend to talk, or bringing your computer to get some work done. Then upstairs and downstairs are a few tables to sit down by yourself or in your group to converse with ease. It can get a little crowded in the main area when it's busy but it clears up quickly. Overall if you're looking for a good cup of coffee or a sweet smoothie in Boothbay, Brisetto's is the place to go! read more

Excellent coffee. Friendly service. Great location. The non-fat latte was perfectly hot and delicious. As a local resident, I frequent this establishment regularly and have always had a 5 star experience including during the busy summer season. read more

My latte with oat milk was not good. Just tasted bad. Not sure if the oat milk they use is the culprit or not, but I almost couldn't finish it. The shop is neat and tidy and the barista was genuinely nice. People seem to like this place so I'd give them a second chance next time I'm in Boothbay. read more

Thanks for your apology. I have read many positive reviews of your shop so, I guess it was just a bad day. It's never easy dealing with non stop customer demands. I did notice another person behind the counter who watched while you multitasked. I'm not sure what her role was. I think you could have used the help on that day. So, we can try again next time. Enjoy the rest of the season. read more

Today was my first time visiting Boothbay with friends and it was our first time exploring this little town. Strolling around, we stumbled across this little gem. The rainbow flag, of course, caught my attention. Walking up, there were already friendly customers, sitting outside, who mentioned that we would not be disappointed by stopping in. So, we walked in and was greeted by a barista, who was also the owner, I later found out. I got myself a nice iced caramel latte, which was delicious, thanks to the recommendation of Florin (The owner) and my friend grabbed a beer and a soda. They also served wine as well. I grabbed a little map of the town, which came in very handy, and also a little card with the history of how Florin opened up this coffee shop. The story was amazing and also very inspiring! We walked up the steps to find a second level which had a great ambience and you could see the water and boats. We very much enjoyed this place and can't wait to come back! read more

BEST LATTES I've ever had!! Don't tell my husband, he makes me one every day.

And everyone wears a mask, thank you! We live in DC, but we'll be back! Cheers and thanks for the yummy Java! Ryan read more

Amazing lattes and milkshakes. Went there twice today and it was great! Great service in a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend.
