iced chai with 2% milk
Jane G.

What I like: - The Crooked Mile's location (right off Old Port's main roads, meaning it's not nearly as jam packed as other fan favorites). - Free wifi! - Their iced chai (it doesn't taste like dirt, unlike some other more ...interesting ones in the area. - The amount of space. Lots of natural light + a cafe area in the front and dining area in the back. Spacious! What was meh: - Their menu. Breakfast sandwiches, bagels, and like one burrito, plus a selection of pastries that could be found in an airport hotel complimentary breakfast buffet. Wasn't bad, wasn't great, probably wouldn't make a return trip, but worth checking out if other coffee shops are too busy.

Great spot for salads/sandwiches/breakfast! Cute diner on the corner of a cobblestone street. Bit windows and a few tables in the back. Kind staff who answered all our questions.

Arrived in-town for work early so decided to seek out some breakfast. The breakfast place on the corner does open until 8a!?! Missing a real breakfast crowd by opening so late, so decided to find a place using Yelp! Crooked Mile is just up the street practically, so off I went. This unique restaurant is tucked in on Milk St close to the Regency Hotel. The vibe is eclectic and cozy. Chose a Bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich and an iced tea as I had had enough coffee for the morning. I had to wait maybe 7-8 minutes and my sandwich was done. Walked back to my office and sat down to enjoy my sandwich. The English Muffin was toasted and the eggs were whipped and light with a a generous amount of bacon. I'm used to ordering extra since most places only give you two or three slices. I also spied some hard to find Blueberry coffee! A staple from what the young lady told me. So there is absolutely no doubt that I will be back to this 20 year old establishment and recommend you take a visit to.

Buffalo chicken soup

Quick lunch spot in the Old port. They have a soup and sandwich deal for only $10. They rotate the soup with two options always available. Reasonably priced sandwiches, salads and soups. Also serves breakfast until 11:30. The inside is a cute cozy vibe with inside seating. Counter service and they are super friendly. I frequent this spot for lunch and will continue.

Should've kept walking towards Starbucks. The Crooked Mile is right next to our hotel and situated on cobblestoned road (thus the name which was perfect!) so the hubby wanted to check it out. Their menu really isn't that special. I ended up with PB&J sandwich on rye bread. Choice of jelly? Grape and strawberry! How is that not like a convenience store. I thought perhaps they would offer homemade jelly of some unique flavors. My sandwich's ratio was all wrong: there was much more jelly than peanut butter. Hubby ordered some kind of breakfast sandwich which took quite a while to make and he was charged wrong. They had to rerun it. Just not a very productive morning if you know what I mean!

Bacon Egg & Cheese Sandwich

This was the perfect spot for breakfast in Portland. I had the Nutty Englishman coffee and the house-made croissant with bacon, egg, and cheese. The croissant sandwich was served piping hot with steam coming out! It tasted delicious and the service was on point.

My wife and I really enjoyed frequenting this place the last week during our honeymoon. The location is just outside of tourist traffic for a nice and quiet get away. There are sandwich and salad options for days - many of them for all different kinds of diets and preferences. My wife preferred oat milk and just a little sweetener so it's nice that the staff was shears accommodating. Derives was great, speedy, and with a smile. Looking forward to returning here for coffee and tea next time we are in Portland.

Ambiance was really nice! Cute classic diner/ old timey style, quaint vibes…read more Food: Homemade blueberry muffin grilled - not really anything...special... maybe my batch wasn't a good one? They were not anything compared to the Trader Joe's blueberry muffins in terms of softness and moisture...Costco blueberry muffins are a little bit less dry than these. - the grilled bit of the muffin was a bit of a letdown. It is just literally cut in half and put on top of a grill for maybe a few minutes for the char lines and that's it. Nothing else done to it - they made it sound like it had something else so I'm pretty disappointed in that one. - BUT the chocolate pancake was DELICIOUS. It's like Betty Crocker chocolate cake mix on a pan, in the shape of a pancake, and chocolate frosting/fudge/ganache? On top, with white icing to make the squiggle. Would buy over the muffin tbh. - the chili was swimming with cheese, so if you like that it's for you. My bf couldn't eat his because it was a thick glob of melted cheese every time he lifted his fork. BUT I myself adore cheese so I would've been happy with that. Maybe they can ask customers how much cheese they want? That'd solve that problem. Low/Medium/High levels of cheese?

Stop by if you're in the area! We're glad we found it. Quick, delicious food and the wait goes by…read morefast! We loved it!

Which based on everything we had I completely understand why, this place makes incredible food and drinks. Overall it has a great inviting feeling to the space. To start off I enjoyed a Morning Bun Latte while my wife got the Honey & Juniper Latte. Both came out perfect temperature with well done latte art and delicious taste. My wife was obsessed with their pottery mugs that the lattes came served in. Food wise we were looking to split everything and it worked perfectly. We ended up choosing French Toast, Soft Scrambled Eggs, and the Fried Potatoes side. Every dish would be an absolute no brainer for us to order again. Every bite of food kept us wanting even more. Lastly we grabbed a chocolate croissant to go and that was just as tasty and enjoyed it after our visit. After this visit it is certainly a new favorite spot of ours, and look forward to coming back! Worth your time visiting!
