Great little place. Super busy! I stopped in for a coffee and ended up getting a breakfast sandwich and a honey biscuit. The service seemed straight forward. Like she just needed to get done with my order to get back to helping the staff create all these delightful breakfasts. It was super busy, they do take online orders as well. Someone's online order didn't go through, and they were very quick to fix it and make up the time to get this customer out the door. Nice staff, the chairs and tables appear to be made locally, the place was small, but lots of seating, bathrooms were clean and it appeared that you could walk in the front or the back. Super cute, great coffee, lovely food. Highly recommend trying it out. I parked on the street, and it was pretty easy. Food came out pretty quick too, even though they were a packed house. read more

I have been coming to Coffee Me Up for years and have always had a good experience. Today was no different. It is such happy and friendly vibes inside. All the staff are amazing, so friendly, and caring. They always have tons of fresh pastries, bagels, goodies, and have plenty of made to order options. They have breakfast sandwiches, lunch options, smoothies, bowls, etc. There are plentiful options for coffee, tea, or other drinks. There is no parking lot but plenty of free street parking close by. The entrance and bathroom are handicap accessible. The bathroom is gender neutral. I got my favorite breakfast sandwich - the chorizo, egg, and cheese (with the incredible liptao spread) on their fresh ciabatta bread. I tried one of the drink specials which was an iced German chocolate coffee with notes of chocolate, caramel, and coconut. It was delicious and decadent. I also had to have a fresh, crispy yet fluffy, delicious croissant. Everything tastes fresh and great. I will continue to keep coming back! It's a great place to grab food/drinks to go or enjoy them in house! It's a great spot for remote working or wanting a nice relaxing meal. read more

Not sure what magic they put in their chocolate croissant but it's heaven. Friendly, warm atmosphere of a local shop. My latte was delicious, made to my specifics and served at my table. If I lived here, this would be my daily spot. read more

This was a solid spot for coffee, pastries, and other breakfast goodies! There are plenty of options, so you really can't go wrong. I wouldn't say anything was particularly notable to me in terms of the food or drinks, though. If you're coming on a weekend morning, be prepared for a long line. The shop wasn't very big and was pretty packed, so we took everything to go. Not sure if it was a local or seasonal crowd. Generally good vibes, I wouldn't mind coming back at a less busy time. read more

Coffee ME Up - Byrek with meat and egg filling and a breakfast sandwich with chorizo, egg and Liptao. Both excellent and would get again. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Maine

Not sure why I had never been here before was so great ! They had a sweet and salty latte special that was absolutely delicious, maple syrup and salted caramel it was made perfectly I was debating 2 or 3 expresso shots . A friendly mood and nudge from the owner encouraged me to do the 3 and it was perfect. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. We got a croissant which was really good and a Mean green breakfast sandwich which I highly recommend. Nice looking pastries and a deck out back and sidewalk seating make this a real destination spot. read more

The best lattés, pastries and breakfast sandwiches...I LOVE this place. The owners are special people. We stopped in on New Years Eve morning on our drive homeward and they were giving everyone their drinks for free and asking people show gratitude throughout their day! Which we did. Everything they make, they make with such care and the results show! Every detail even down tot he fixtures in the bathroom, the lighting, everything is exquisite without being fussy or pretentious. Just go...you'll see what I mean!! Next time I go, I'm taking pictures!! read more

Quick coffee stop on my drive to work. Friendly and quick service with a cozy atmosphere. Americano was smooth, tasty, and well balanced. Good selection of pastries. I ordered the biscotti cookie which had a subtle sweet honey flavor and a meringue on top. I'm not sure if it was the texture or flavor that was too subtle but I was personally not a fan of this biscotti cookie. read more

Was in Portland with the family for vacation. Stopped by here to pick up breakfast around 7am on a Sunday. They said the breakfast sandwich would have a long wait, but it was out in a few minutes. The service was friendly, and they have a ton of coffee and food options. I had the nitro cold brew and a breakfast sandwich. Both were great. read more

We were in Portland for one night and always look for a local coffee shop for breakfast when we are traveling! It was an easy bike ride from our AC Marriott Hotel and did not disappoint! Cold brew was fantastic--with dark and light roast options---and offered in a 24 oz size, rare for small coffee shops! The breakfast sandwiches and burritos we tried were simple, homemade, and reasonably priced, with the unique addition of local Liptao sauce -- a spread made from a blend of Maine mashed potatoes, roasted red peppers, olive oil, and spices! Our son was excited about the delicious strawberry/cream cheese danish he tried. Service was friendly and efficient and we were able to choose from inside and outdoor seating choices. Will definitely return if we are in the area again! read more

I can't believe I haven't been here yet and was pleasantly surprised! Although it's out of the way of the majority of the hustle and bustle of Portland, this place is perfect to get a drink and a treat (or a meal). My iced chai, which has been surprisingly disgusting at other places, was just right and had undertones of cinnamon--yum. The atmosphere was super cozy and inviting, and there was a great amount of indoor and patio seating. Definitely will be back to try out their food and pastries! read more

Such a great find! We were looking for breakfast places and just wanted a really solid breakfast sandwich. This hit the spot!

Overall a great start to the day! read more

My family and I came here before the Nutcracker at Merril Auditorium. It was the perfect location for a pre-show coffee and snack. The later was delicious, hot cocoa chocolatey, and the atmosphere just right. It's a smaller little place which makes it that much cozier. I did not partake in ordering anything from the staff and since we were there closer to closing time, staff seemed to be mostly preoccupied with preparing to close. Only thing I will say is the scone we ordered seemed a bit well done however still delicious-- It may also not be made in house, I am not sure. Excited to come here before the next show we attend. read more

Such a cute spot!! It's cozy enough when you walk in but big enough that you don't feel cramped, although we did come around 10. Not sure what it's like early morning but I'd assume it gets pretty busy. The staff were quick with orders. I got an egg cheese and avocado sandwich on a croissant - The house spread is delicious!!!! The eggs were cooked perfectly. Honestly, it was the perfect breakfast sandwich. Light but satisfying. My husband got a regular black coffee and I got a frozen chai. They were both great. I'll definitely be back to try the pastries. There were so many on display and they all looked really good. This would be a great place to get work done or do some reading at. read more

What a great coffee/ breakfast / lunch spot! Owned by a husband and wife team with a mantra of "small acts of kindness cause ripples" the drinks and food were delicious! All of the breakfast sandwiches come with a schmear of liptao (I had to look it up - mashed potatoes with red pepper, feta, garlic, chives, olive oil and spices - basically the most delicious thing ever!) My only wish was that there was more liptao on each sammie! Coffees were delish, food was great, would definitely come back and support this great business! read more

One of the first breakfast places that came up while researching breakfast in Portland so had to take the walk over here. Came over a little later in the morning so it was slightly less busy. We grabbed an Iced Chai Latte, an Iced Vietnamese Coffee, the Breakfast Burrito on a wheat wrap, and the Avocado, Egg, and Cheese on an English Muffin. Food and drinks came out super quickly. My burrito was real solid and pretty big. Great mix of chorizo, rice, avocado and egg. Nothing was lacking and it was pretty flavorful. The sandwich was also pretty solid, loved the spread the most, definitely elevated the sandwich. Pretty solid breakfast spot if you're looking for something a little simple but still really good (and hearty if you want). Also a side note, I accidentally punched an older woman with a stroller while I took off my jacket and she seemed like a regular so again I'm very sorry for that. Don't punch the patrons is another note I guess. read more

Coffee ME Up - Iced Chai and Iced Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Maine

My wife and I live in the bangor area. We discovered this coffee shop on our honey moon about 2 years ago. Whenever we travel anywhere one of my favorite things to do is check out little coffee shops. I have to say that this place didn't disappoint. Both the breakfast sandwiches and the coffee are the bomb.com. Every time we come back to Portland such as today we make a point of going to Coffee me up. When we first went we were in love with their vanilla chai lattes but having been there multiple times now I'd recommend any of their coffees though I prefer the iced special of the week. I'd also highly recommend their breakfast sandwiches. They are generous with the toppings and they appear and taste like they were freshly made rather than having a frozen heated up egg like you'd get from a fast food joint. I give Coffee Me up a 5 star rating!! We are excited to go back there today! read more

We got an egg and cheese sandwich with veggie sausage, which was very good but we omitted the special spread, which we later regretted. Also got a the power bowl, it was like a green smoothie surrounded by almond butter and topped off with granola, fruit and honey, it was refreshing and yummy. I also got a London fog with vanilla syrup, it was delicious. I ordered on a Sunday morning at 10, so when I got there it was jam packed but the person preparing my order was so sweet and personable. It didn't seem like a place I'd want to sit inside to eat on a busy weekend morning but during a slower time I could see it being a really nice place to sit and eat or chat with a friend. read more

Best coffee ever and I am EXTREMELY picky. Amazing food. Just perfect. The Turkish hazelnut has the best flavor ever

Coffee me up was the perfect Portland stop for a quick breakfast. We called in ahead and they told us that they don't take online orders and instead they do it over the phone. We therefore placed a phone order and by the time we got there, probably waited less than five minutes to pick up our order. My breakfast sandwich was so delicious and the perfect amount of feeling. The avocado felt fresh and the orange creamy sauce that was spread on the bread tasted really good. The frappe latte was good, except it wasn't Sweden so I had to go back in and ask for simple syrup. If you're planning to order this and want it to be sweet you might want to tell them ahead of time. read more

List of stuff I appreciated: Ample outdoor seating Extremely fresh greens -not a single slimey piece The agreeable way our special requests were received List of stuff I'd have changed: Salt and pepper should be out / not requiring special service from busy staff Something savory (croutons?) on the Super Green Highly recommend; coffee is great too read more

Coffee ME Up - The "liptao" spread - served with all sandwiches - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Maine

For years I have been saying that even though Maine has some truly amazing coffee places, they still don't seem to quite reach the level of flavor and smoothness as west coast coffee. That is, until Coffee Me Up came around. The drinks are both flavorful and smooth with subtle yet delicious sweetness that leaves you feeling satisfied, not sugarfied (I just made that up). They also have locally made baked goods with a European flare. The baklava is some of the best in the Southern Maine area, and this is coming from a 1/4 Greek! I feel like Coffee Me Up does not get the credit they deserve as one of the top coffee spots in Portland, and maybe that's ok because the last thing locals need is another good coffee spot with a mile long line every day (see t@ndem bakery) read more

This place was tucked away on a little Corner on Cumberland. They had amazing breakfast sandwiches, they have this spicy aioli spread they put on that melts down over the cheese and egg. One day we had a bacon egg and cheese with the spicy aioli, the next was a ham version. I think the bacon was the best, since the ham had a bit too many red onions but was still amazing. We had the cinnamon caramel latte, which we reduced the amount of flavor pump put in, but it was hot, and delicious. It's definitely a well thought out place, they have a divider and a speaker so the barista taking your order and hear you and vice versa. Love this place, can't wait to come back! read more
