Wonderful coffee and exceptional service. Warning however: they have made the coffee served by our accommodations (which I previously thought was decent), no longer acceptable aside from the caffeine jolt to get me out the door. I'm also not a picky person about my coffee either! I guess I just never had really, really good coffee before in Bar Harbor. They are the real deal- Main owners and I've seen many of the same staff each year, so they are either locals, or have decided to come back every summer. My husband and I visit Bar Harbor each year and they always remember us and genuinely seem happy to see us. They really care about their customers and are very passionate about their coffee. It's a small place so it could seem very crowded- but they keep service very fast and even a long line moves quickly. I highly recommend this place, so do not let a line deter you. Their coffee is priced the similarly to what you'd expect at a larger chain who shall not be named, but I find the coffee here is so much smoother and has a very nice "rounded" taste (again, I'm not that picky or a coffee connoisseur) - but I like the coffee from the Coffee Hound much more. Their rewards program is also amazing! We earned some free coffees and even a specialty drink just from one vacation. I purchased one of their reusable thermoses and they give you a free drink with purchase- even the specialty drinks! I got a mocha with all the fixings-sometimes I choose to drink my deserts :-) The thermos was of surprising quality. It keeps my coffee hot for hours (great for a nice warm up on a cold day) and is leak proof (also lovely for hiking- just toss in my daypack and go!) Please give the Coffee Hound a try. I have no investment/stake in the company, except I'd be super sad to see them go. Their product and service is just that exceptional that it warranted my time to write a review. read more

Coffee bound is one of those little shops that blows your mind. Excuse the pun, but I'm barking mad for their specialty drinks! If you are feeling a little snack, the little blueberry pie pockets are phenomenal and easy to eat while you explore the town! This was by far the best coffee place we tried during our Maine trip, and once of the best we've found anywhere. If you like coffee, you need to try this place! read more

Great coffee, good food, and friendly staff. Tried 4 others in downtown and this was best of them. Quick walk to Agamont Park for a view while drinking your coffee. read more

Service is friendly and fast. I enjoyed chatting with the staff. Americano was a so so beverage. Came back later in the day and had a drip coffee which was a much better experience. Also really enjoyed the popovers which we took to the nearby park and watched life go by. 4 stars due to the mediocre americano. read more

Pro: Incredibly friendly customer service, gave us suggestions on things to do/eat/see in Bar Harbor/Acadia area. Con: Did not enjoy the ice coffee. Had a weird burnt after taste. Could just be a bad batch, but wish the coffee was better! read more

Met Chris over coffee in the am and came back for his delicious crepe lobster roll! Thank you Chris!

Great little coffee shop. Iced chai and matcha chai were both delish! Would like to try the crepes next visit

Highly recommend!!! Every time we visit MDI, we make a point to get Coffee Hound Coffee every single day. We love everything about them from their friendly staff, delicious brews, & of course their baked goods. Most recently in September 2022 we stopped at The Stadium/Coffee Hound every day during our stay for coffee & their amazing popovers which beat Jordan Pond House popovers by a mile! As we strolled through Bar Harbor we'd often refer other passers-bys to your business when they asked were we got our coffee or popovers. Now that we're back in PA, we still make a point to enjoy Coffee Hound whenever we can...but we're looking forward to visiting in person on our next trip to Maine. read more

I love you guys!!! My absolute favorite coffee shop when cruising! And this town. The folk are so sweet and amazing! Coffee was bomb! And so was that delicious lobster roll!! Hugs from Vegas! read more

I had the lobster roll here and although I'm usually hesitant about the value for money you receive for them, Coffee Hound restored my faith in the restaurant business. The warm, buttered roll was absolutely packed with juicy, fresh lobster meat and alongside some salty chips and a delicious pickle- it made the perfect little lunch. read more

Coffee Hound - One of the best lobster rolls I've ever had in New England! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bar Harbor, Maine

Great little coffee shop in Bar Harbor. They have all your standard beverages and friendly service as well. We got two espresso macchiatos and they were on point. Decent prices and fun local decor. read more

Had the cappuccino yesterday and it was undrinkable. It was the strongest cup of coffee I've ever tasted and after diluting it with half and half it still wasn't good. I enjoy strong coffee but the flavor of these beans weren't enjoyable. Stronger than Starbucks! read more

Great place. It's quite small on the inside but the girls working there were very friendly. We got the lobster roll (4 of them) absolutely delicious. Their house tea was refreshing too. Definitely worth the price read more

Coffee Hound - Lobster rolls are fully loaded - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bar Harbor, Maine

Best peanut butter cookie!!!!!! Staff there so nice as well. Great spot. Lots of options for food and drinks

this coffee shop is too cute! been here for a weekend and tried the blueberry merlot tea latte and the cappuccino. the cappuccino was delicious and trust them when they say there's a LOT of foam. and the tea latte was also really good. the blueberry tea comes in a cute bag, but in my opinion, the blueberry taste was too subtle for me to enjoy it as much as i thought i would. it tasted like a water/milk mixture rather than a tea latte. i would definitely come back for a taste of the other items on the menu though! read more

Best coffee house and popovers in Bar Harbor. Love the Sweet Caroline coffee HOT or COLD. They even sing to me when i order. "SWEET CAROLINE...BUM BUM BUM" It's So Good So Good So Good !!!!! :) :) read more

I only tried their coffee, but I was not impressed. Way overpriced, and not that good. The space is small, but the service was friendly.

Part of our mission when traveling is to find a God-shot espresso, cappuccino, or latte. We never get flavors. We never ask for milk alternatives. Just pull me a great shot and offer beans that aren't burned like the cooperate big-boys. We never found it. Cafe Hound drew me in with their logo and location. And I was so happy with the adorable paw print latte art. Seriously- Bravo! But it tasted like a charred Starbucks. People love Starbucks tho, so maybe that's why such high reviews. We come to the locals hoping for more finesse but we left with burned beans, a sour pull, and a bitter taste in our mouths. read more

Coffee Hound - Very cute decor. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bar Harbor, Maine

Ummmm. I have to say we were quite disappointed when visiting this shop. After reading all the reviews I was so excited for our stop before we headed off to hike. Bummer! We wanted coffee and some fuel for the road before hiking. I had a espresso drink. It was ok. Not the best espresso, but not bad. The one size drink is a bummer. Maybe it's a Bar Harbor thing. I almost bought two. My husband had just black coffee, medium roast. He loved it. Our big issue was the food. We ordered mini quiche. Don't let anyone fool you. They are MINI. Smaller than the palm of your hand and an inch tall. For the price, it is brutal. Plus, ours were luke warm at best. We even started eating them right away. Luke warm egg...lets just say, our dog enjoyed his expensive breakfast. We ate the bars I had packed. I did have a yogurt parfait. It was lovely. Not fancy or special, but good. My husband had a nice smoothie as well. They allowed our dog to come in. They greeted him with open arms and a treat. Very nice!! Small space inside. Our dog is too big to have sat with us at a table or bar. read more

I tried a few different coffees from here when I visited and they were all awesome! I'm a big fan of cold brew and there's was really good and that's coming from someone who is really picky :) I enjoyed their cherry something or other iced coffee with the amaretto in it, so delicious. It was a little sweet for someone who usually drinks black coffee, but it was a nice change of pace. All the employees seemed super happy and the vibe was super cute. It was definitely a place I wish we would've spent a little more time, maybe hung out here on a couple of mornings or something. I'll definitely be back again next time I visit Bar Harbor! read more

My husband and I are spending our honeymoon in Bar Harbor and ran across the Coffee Hound. My husband, who drinks coffee, has determined it is the only good place to go for coffee in town. I don't drink coffee, but I loved their white chocolate. We also had the pleasure to meet the owners - great people! And as a special treat in honor of our marriage they gave us a macaroon, which apparently is a wedding tradition. This place is a real gem in Bar Harbor! read more

We go here every day when in town for vacation. The customer service is great and we love the coffee.

Not sure what all the hype is about... We got the Monkey's Uncle blended and a Cadillac cooler. I enjoyed the cadillac cooler but it was definitely way too sugary towards the end and the whipped cream on top was definitely not needed. The Monekey's Uncle tasted a bit like over roasted coffee...not at all what it sounded like. Overall, we thought they were too sweet and a bit too pricey. If they served these in a smaller size it might have been okay but definitely towards the end of the drink I was on a sugar overload. read more

Coffee Hound - Cute cup sleeves! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bar Harbor, Maine

I give this place a five star for two reasons...one is their dark roast coffee (whole bean) is one of the best coffee blends I've ever had and I've had my fair share. A blend of three coffee bean origins which is not easy to do and get such a great result only shows their knowledge of coffee and not just some hack as many coffee houses/cafe's seem to be. The second yet main reason is their incredible customer service attitude, especially Chris, incredibly upbeat and attentive to each customer's needs. I love talking coffee like some guys talk sports and it was a pleasure to converse with Chris whose coffee knowledge was very impressive. This is our new must come back destination when we return next year. read more

Being from the city, I've had some formidable cups of joe in my life time. smooth, spicy, bitter, you name it I've had it. I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked into the Coffee Hound this past Friday on holiday in Bar Harbor. I ordered the ginger spice iced chai latte, and to say it was delicious would be a harsh understatement. The tea was smooth yet spicy, natural tasting and a perfect creaminess without being overwhelmingly sweet or decadent. The owner was as nice as could be, allowing myself and sister to charge up our phones in his store after three days of hiking the Maine wilderness. The menu had an impressive array of creative drinks to choose from, all things adventurous and safe. The coffee Hound has left a large shoe to fill for the coffeehouses in Philly. i can't wait to stop here again when i return to beautiful Bar Harbor. read more

You may come for coffee but you need to stay for the lobster roll. I was skeptical of this place being too "touristy" but it fooled me. Very charming! I ordered one of the specialty coffees, paid and then sat down. I was then staring at the menu again and saw "lobster roll". I became curious because there really isn't any other food on the menu besides pastries. Long story short, all the other yelp reviews about this lobster roll are true! It's out of this world. You MUST get it even if it's before 11am ;) The owner was there during my visit and I had no doubt in my mind he loves what he does. This cute coffee joint is pet friendly too! Coffee hound made my morning. I love their logo too! read more

Coffee Hound - Like WHOA!!!! Lobster roll is a must ! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bar Harbor, Maine

So we did our yearly trip to Bar Harbor. It drizzled on the way up, while we were there and on the way back. The high point of the trip was Coffee Hound. Nice coffee but really perfect blueberry muffins. Only way to have better is to make it yourself read more

This is the third time I've been here. I now try to go every time I'm in Bar Harbor. The people are still very nice and the drinks delicious! It's a nice space. I'd recommend the Monkey's Uncle. read more

Best coffee in Bar Harbor. I walked in with a cup of coffee from a pizza place nearby to get some raw sugar (instead of white sugar). I also was planning on ordering another coffee and a pastry. After I asked the owner if she had raw sugar, she replied yes and have me two cups; one for the cup of coffee I was ordering and one for another one free of charge. The coffee tasted amazing too, so I'm not go in five stars just because of the service I received, the coffee truly is very good. The one I had in my had could not compare. The traveler's blueberry pie was delicious too. read more

We were searching (with surprisingly low luck) for the perfect blueberry donut in Bar Harbor on the last morning of our visit. We stumbled upon Stadium, Bar Harbor and the Coffee Hound and found exactly what we were looking for... and more! The blueberry donut was not only the best blueberry donut we've ever had, but all 3 of us agreed, the best donut. Period. It was amazing. Their brightly colored competitor down the street doesn't hold a flame to their blueberry donut. Perfectly sweet and crunchy on the outside, fluffy dough with great blueberry flavor on the inside. We got two more for the road! Also tried a popover here and loved it! Coffee was great too. The blueberry donut alone earns the 5 stars, but have a couple recommendations as well... First, it's not obvious what kind of place this is. We thought it was a sports bar, and only happened to notice the "Coffee hound" sign after we were enticed in by the smells. Marketing could be much better on this place. Second, the butter for the popover did not seem to be actual butter. I think they owe their great pastries a slather in the real stuff! Definitely a great place to stop in BH!! read more

The coffee was good but the peculiar thing was my bill was $6.08 and I gave the kid a $10....then said oh I have 8 cents and he says "I'm sorry I already rung it up." ........math is hard -_- read more

I love it here! I first stumbled upon this place 2 years ago when I came up for a weekend and now I'm back for the week and had to find this place again! The service is always good! The staff is very friendly. The crepes are AMAZING! they have have delicious beverages! read more

Cute little place. Good coffee. Yummy snacks. They have a variety of local favorites. It's a quick delicious stop. Enjoy

Coffee quality was just plain amazing and you get to choose between many different brews. Cookies, pies, food in general was at the same level. It's just a pity that the place has only a few seats inside which tend to be always crowded, but if you don't mind to take away your breakfast then it's a must place to be in Bar Harbor. They also have a travelling version of the famous blueberry pie so again, not a problem if you can't find a seat. read more

+Summary Try the "Maple Leaf" hot, as all coffee should be, it was great! +Food We did try a blueberry muffin here but it wasn't amazing. +Environment I thought this was a really neat little place, very cozy. +Service Nice people, very patient with those of us who take awkwardly longer than appropriate to order. read more

Service: great service. The owner is very personable and reminds me of how service was in the past. You can clearly tell he does this because he wants to. Parking: lots of parking within walking distance Food: coffee is great and lots of flavors or just straight shots for the purests. We also got handheld blueberry pie and that was great. read more

I'm probably over inflating my rating thanks to the novelty of getting to eat a lobster roll for breakfast at 7am--what can I say, I'm vacationing in Maine! We came to Cafe Hound after catching sunrise at Cadillac Mountain. Service was sweet and happy in the morning. I got a hot apple cider, and my husband a latte. Being a coffee shop, the coffee was a little lackluster, but I enjoyed my cider. We both got lobster rolls, which were very satisfying for the time of day. Lobster was fresh and meaty, bun was decent. Can't complain. And we left with a blueberry hand pie, which was a little disappointing in that it tasted more like blueberry jam than fresh blueberries, and the pastry was like a butter cookie. But all in all, I was happy for the meal before we headed back out for our next hike. read more

Nice little shop with a great cup of coffee. The owner clearly took pride in his business. He took the time to joke with us and ask about our experience. He answered my questions about how they prepare their lobster rolls--I had never tried one before. Returned later to buy one and it was fantastically delicious. The lobster was the perfect flavor & texture, with no bits of tough meat. Will definitely go back. read more

Well, I wish it was a great cappuccino but it really was not. It may be that my expectations are too high (but really they are not). A cappuccino needs to taste and drink like a cappuccino, and mine tasted like over-roasted beans strained with water, and a lot of foam on top. The folks inside were nice enough, the blueberry muffin was pretty good - not too sweet and the texture was good. I was disappointed but I haven't had a good cap yet in BH. I will keep looking. read more
