    The muffin was too delicious to wait for a photo!!
    Debbie H.

    I love this little cafe. Discovered it a couple weeks ago while out leaf peeping and have visited twice since then. The food is delicious. The coffee so, so good. Prices are fair and the cafe is cozy. Last week I brought my laptop and got a little work done while also chatting with a couple of local ladies.

    Friendly place in a Maine village. Quaint feel to it with wood floors and huge window in the front looking out on Main St. Food and service were solid if Unspectacular. We both had the omelet with goat cheese, onions and peppers. It was a good, filling breakfast.

    Small Snickerdoodle latte, homemade brownie, sweet girl.

    The best local spot for breakfast, lunch, and all of your beverage desires. I've enjoyed visiting Nomad since I was in high school-- It always brings back great memories and there is always a familiar face to say hi to when in the cafe. The sandwiches are delicious, baked goods top notch, and even just a bagel with cream cheese hits the spot every time. There is a true sense of community at Cafe Nomad and a visit here is always sure to brighten your day.

    Almond milk hazelnut latte. Delicious

    I've been here a couple of times now, they have great food options for both adults and kids. The service was great, very nice staff. Setting is relaxing, lots of people working on their computers, but also people just hanging out to chat. The coffee is really good! Highly recommend

    We were pleasantly surprised with Cafe Nomad! Ordered the old speck sandwich and also the crooked River -- both delightful for breakfast and lunch. We also enjoyed a smoothie. The prices were high, but I don't fault them for that. There was a lovely ambiance and the staff were quite friendly and accommodating. Definitely a must if you're visiting Norway!

The menu had plenty of options and the kids menu was great. You know it's a good kids menu when there is Mac and cheese available! The food we ordered was pretty good,l as expected pub food. The sandwich was delicious and came with sweet potato fries as a choice. We loved our server! She was flexible and understanding and had a great attitude. All in all, we had a wonderful time. The restaurant pub was always buzzing with business, music was fun, place was clean and food and drinks and servers all available in a timely manner. Not sure what else you can ask for! We would come back any time and highly recommend to all!

Our food was delicious. Pulled pork nachos, BBQ burger, and quesadillas. Sadly - although the bao buns were tasty, they were out of Brie. The only negatives at all are (1) I would have liked our drinks refilled and (2) I didn't like that the tab was simply the total - so I felt like I needed to tip even on the tax - not my preference but also not the end of the world. The kids have already said, "we definitely want to come back here".

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.
