As a person who hates to waste money on bad coffee, I had to come warn folks about this place. We ordered two iced oat milk lattes, and one of them came out made with half and half. When I asked for it to be remade, the person in charge (might have been the owner) appeared within 30 seconds with a different drink. I was so confused, but below here in the comments the owner admits that they pre-make their "espresso" in a process that sounds really similar to how you make cold brew. As a longtime barista with a pretty firm grasp on espresso quality control, this is pretty inexcusable. People pay for fresh espresso and to serve them anything else is unacceptable. We went back the following day because the coffee options in Bar Harbor are a little slim. I figured I couldn't go wrong with a cold brew. I paid close to $5 for what was, without a doubt, regular coffee that had been refrigerated and put over ice. Why even pretend it is cold brew? Do they really not know the difference? Just steer clear of you care about the quality of your coffee. read more

Was in Bar Harbor for the night and stopped by this very busy coffee shop for some tea and coffee. The line was a bit log but it went pretty quickly. They have about 6-8 specialty coffee drinks with witty names and if I drank coffee, I would definitely have had one of those but instead I chose a tea latte which, turns out, had an adorable name! The dribble I ordered was called the Bar Harbor Fog which was made from blueberry merlot tea, steamed milk, and blueberry syrup and it was yummy! Not too sweet but definitely fun to drink! If you're looking for pastries, this may be the place for you - they work with a local baker who provides them with blueberry hand pies and they looked delicious!!!! And this place is kid and dog friendly but there aren't many seats or tables so plan on bringing your stuff to go! read more

Terrible coffee...took all of 1 minute to make a triple espresso over ice...that had to have been premade iced coffee. And the nitro tasted too fruity and not smooth. I think a tourist trap. But..we had good service..friendly and fast. read more

Breakfast sandwich was fair. Homemade bread tasted like a plain potato bread. Bacon was super chewy, not crisp whatsoever. Egg is a 1.5-2 inch soufflé but kind of dense with little flavor. Cheese was melted on the bread so it didn't envelope the breakfast sandwich. Hot coffee was good. read more

If you are looking for quality espresso this place does not have it. The grounds are burnt. Coffee is scorching which for some is needed. If you care about roast, grind, refinement of an espresso spot this is not it. But if you don't care too much about espresso this place will probably work, read more

We were looking for coffee and small bites for breakfast and were very happy that we came here. It is a small space and can get crowded really fast; we happened to come in right before a huge crowd arrived. The iced coffee was strong and deliciously flavorful. I had the lobster crepe which was very buttery and and a strong but good flavor of dill. If we were staying longer in the area, would have definitely came back here multiple times for coffee and breakfast! read more

This place would have been three stars if the gentleman behind the counter hadn't been there. The woman who took our order was very snarky when I mentioned that I worked at Starbucks for 18 years. "Well, we're not Starbucks" was not only unnecessary but lost you a larger sale (I was going to get some roasted coffee and a drink for myself, but instead just let my kids get a drink). I went to go get coffee elsewhere. Thank you to the man who was there that made my kids and aunt laugh. I appreciate you. read more

The egg sandwich was good. Unfortunately, we bought 2 lattes and we could not drink them. They tasted burnt. Very disappointed. On the bright side the pastries did look very good. read more

What a perfect quick breakfast on our way out of Bar Harbor! My husband and I needed something on the go before 8 am and this place had just what we needed. I got a coffee and a ham and cheese croissant. The croissant was flaky and the filling was ooey gooey. It's making my mouth water just thinking about it! read more

Really good European style coffee albeit a little bit of a tourist trap. The best thing is they had oat milk. This place seems to roast its own brand of coffee beans which is a bit on the dark side, and had too heavy of an aftertaste. For a coffee connoisseur as I, the venue seemed to serve a bit over-roasted coffee which main menu items having a lot of sugar to cover the fact of inferior coffee beans. All in all I may come back here if the line is short and I have a sugar crave. read more

Yelp pointed us in the right direction again! Based on the reviews I read, we decided to give them the opportunity to impress us. Well, impress us, they did. Their shop is small. Not much seating is available. We were lucky to grab two spots while we there. Did not want to eat outside because it was raining. #1 on my list to try was their Lobster Roll!! Found it hard to believe that a tasty Lobster Roll could be found in a coffee shop. Have to say that it was one of the best Lobster Rolls that we have ever eaten anywhere! The butter toasted roll was filled to the rim with delicious knuckle and claw lobster meat! Clam Chowder was also very good. Went well with the Lobster Roll. Both of them were the best we had on that trip to the East Coast. Cadillac Cooler. What a refreshing name for a beverage. Coffee Hound is home to this wonderful drink. It is blueberry soda that is blended with lemon sorbet, and it is topped off with whip. Does not disappoint and is also a must try!! So, when in Bar Harbor, Maine....I highly recommend stopping in at Coffee Hound. Maybe you will be just as impressed as we were. read more

While strolling on Main Street in Bar Harbor, my friend and I encountered this cafe by chance. What really attracted us was their smoothie and coffee drinks. We immediately bookmarked this place to come back the very next day. And yes, We returned the very next day for breakfast, we ordered the Blueberry Pie, Lobster Rolls, Clam Chowder, Smoothies, Cadillac Cooler, Lemonade, Iced Coffee, and the Acadia Turtle Mocha. To my biggest surprise, the cafe's food was amazing here! If you love blueberries, the Blueberry Pie and muffins are just for you. Fresh Wild Maine Blueberries aroma in each pastry and it tasted very homemade; which was a major plus. To me Wild Maine Blueberries have a distinct earthy taste and much more flavorful than other blueberries I had before. Lobster Rolls were incredibly delicious and was loaded with lobster meat. The roll may appear to be small but it is so buttery and so good. I loved that the lobster meat was not overly mixed with creamy mayo, in fact its light and taste much fresher. It does not need to load up on condiments to make it taste better because the natural fresh lobster meat is already good. Clam Chowder had the right thickness and clams' natural sweetness that simply makes one cup not enough. Lemonade drinks are fresh and lemony, add the mango in and you have just created the best summer time drink. Iced coffee is strong in flavor and can keep any all-nighter like me up! Acadia Turtle Mocha is one of their specialty drinks. Hazelnut and caramel infused with mocha. It is so tasty and I can't help but have to overlook the amount of calories that I will be consuming! Coffee Hound is a fantastic breakfast stop before leaving Bar Harbor. Staff are extremely friendly and very eager to strike up conversations with us. Great drinks, great food, and great people. It is no wonder this spot earns consecutive five-star reviews. Well-deserved! read more

Delicious!! I had the flat white and asked for some local maple syrup as my sweetener. This place was so good and if we had stayed longer j would've come more often. The coffee menu was amazing and had a plethora of options in cold & hot coffees with a touch of local flavor. It was a small location and more of a take n go feel instead of a hang out and work on your laptop feel. The decor was true to its name: decorated with a lot of dogs drinking coffee on the walls. Definite must if you want really good coffee! read more

I'd checked this place on Yelp before arriving, and so had to put the claim that it was the best coffee in town to the test. It's pretty small, just a long streak shoehorned in at the end of a row of shops, so there's not much in the way of seating. If the weather's nice, you're best to take away and sit in the park across the street. They do a pretty mean lobster roll (after 3 days in town I am of course an expert on the subject, right?), with plenty of filling. The coffee I would rate at 4.5 stars on the US-Glasgow coffee comparison sliding scale that I've just this second invented, that equates to 3 Glasgow stars. Still the best I've found in Bar Harbor though. read more

Stopped for coffee based on the reviews. I had the nitro cold brew and wasn't super impressed. This is definitely a place to get a flavored latte but the cold brew is just ok. There's no indoor seating, but there is a park just a block down. The staff was friendly and helpful. read more

Came to Bar Harbor on vacation... searched this place out because of its yelp reviews. Every one here is very friendly. The lobster roll was really good and the crepes are AMAZING!!! However, they lose 1 star because they use monin flavor syrups for their coffee. Monin is the cheap stuff and this cute place (as well as us) deserve better. read more

The lobster rolls are absolutely AMAZING! The service was great and the staff friendly and very helpful. The coffee style is a little over-roasted for my preference but decent and was the best we found in the city. The whoopie pies they get from a nearby bakery are really the way whoopie pies should be: light, fluffy, and not too sweet. You definitely must come for the lobster rolls! read more

Best coffee/esspresso in town, hands down, don't @ me. If you need a real cup of coffee this is your stop! Their iced drinks are just as good, try a cadilac cooler it's amazing! My favorite is granny Keegan's famous lobster rolls, OMG soooo good! I usually stop in and take one to go before my afternoon hikes.

Best gluten-free, dairy-free lobster roll on the planet Earth! I can't wait to come back to Maine next summer for another one. The coffee was really good, too. I appreciated that the staff thought to ask me if I wanted butter on my lobster roll. I had forgotten to say "no butter," but they suspected that I might not want it. Very thoughtful. read more

Every time I go to Bar Harbor I seem to miss this coffee shop being open so I was thrilled to find it open Memorial Day weekend! It was chilly the day I was there so I ordered a hot mocha. It took a little time to get it but it was delicious and definitely worth the wait! My son got a crepe and his girlfriend had a hot cocoa and both were very good. Glad I finally caught them on a good day. Parking is usually available right behind the coffee shop in the parking area for the small mall,if you can't find on the street. read more

The owner was super friendly and welcoming. I had the lobster roll first thing in the morning and it was a great choice =] The texture was great but even the bread they served it on was on point. I also ordered the Acadia Sunrise. Super good but so sweet that I couldn't finish it all. read more

Coffee Hound - Lobster Roll and a Monkey's Uncle with a dog paw for breakfast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bar Harbor, Maine

Excellent coffee!!! We (husband and myself) stayed in Bar Harbor for four days, and visited the Coffee Hound four times! We tried the hot Chai Latte, the Monkey's Uncle, the Maple Leaf and a simple regular coffee - all wonderful!! Himself tried the lobster roll - and as many of the previous reviewers have noted, he thought it was top notch!! Hip, clean, simple space. Limited seating. Dog friendly - they give pooches free biscuits and have a large water bowl set up outside for passing fur faces!! Pleasant servers. Quick turnaround on orders. Excellent choice for a cuppa, a snack, or a sugar fix! read more

Fun drinks and great little gift shop as well. We all had different coffees and every single coffee was delicious (all 8 of them)

Ordered a dark roast hot coffee. Pretty weak stuff. Plus side was they accept Apple Pay, service was prompt and nice and they had many options for the coffee as add in's. Also in a good locale near park to sit and relax after. Can't comment on the food items but it did smell good ‍. read more

Not only was my coffee outstanding (hello, s'mores mocha), but the two women working there were SO NICE. Super dog friendly, super people friendly, everything you could ask for *except outdoor seating). When I was ordering my coffee, I also bought a Coffee Hound sticker, except they were out. The barista even checked in her car for an extra one, nope. But, all was not lost for me, they took down my address and when they got some more in stock, they sent me not one, but TWO, Coffee Hound stickers. A++ coffee A++ service A++ people And they love dogs. Can't go wrong!!! read more

By far the BEST coffee place in Bar Harbor (and surrounding areas). I actually came here twice in ONE day! The first time I got the maple leaf latte which was absolutely full of flavor and you could truly taste the coffee too!! My husband got the moose tracks mocha and it tasted like smores in a cup. After hiking Acadia we came back later on before dinner and shared a Jordan turtle which was delicious and the best part was the traveling blueberry pie! That was pure delicious! We are looking forward to enjoying this coffee place again when we come back to Bar Harbor/ Acadia. Would recommend this place if your looking for a delicious well made coffee drink, or the traveling blueberry pie for dessert!!! read more

This is one of the best Flat White and hot chocolate we've ever had. They got the Flat White recipe from a Barista in Melbourne Australia and the hot chocolate is their own blend of chocolate. The staff was quite pleasant and accommodating. read more
