    Great vibes!!
    Sarah H.

    Cuties is my new favorite breakfast/brunch spot in town. The McGriddle was just the right amount of junky to be delicious, nothing fancy, just good grub. And the chai was spectacular and BIG. The decor is so fun and funky, and made the place feel like a bright spot on a cold and snowy day. Staff is friendly and let us just chill and read our books while we digested, and the playlist is groovy as hell. Love cuties!

    We stopped in for a drink and fell in love with the place and planning on coming back later

    Such a fun atmosphere! It's open all day so during our time in Portland we went for breakfast and afternoon drinks. The place is decorated gorgeously - super funky and colorful. Servers were always welcoming and friendly.

    This is the trendiest new craft cocktail spot in Portland. I think the tourists and the Influencer crowd will love it; as a local... I'm not rushing to come back here soon. I got to check it out, it was cool, but it wasn't so revolutionary or so special that I absolutely NEED to bring everyone I know here. At least not now. I'd be interested in revisiting in winter when they've been open for a while and it's quieter in the city. Love the space; the decor is very modern and the vibe is very welcoming. There are lots of interesting seating options: stool seating all along the floor to ceiling windows for people watching, some stool seating at the bar, some couch seating in the corners of the room, some workspace-style stand-up seating for you to WFH from, and more. It feels set-up so you're almost forced to interact with the people around you; not necessarily a bad thing, but when it's busy, expect to make friends. Two drinks, two snacks, after tax and tip it was close to $75. We got the All Day Spritz (aperol, strawberry, cucumber, "double friggin' bubbles") and the Our Best Bloody (vodka or tequila, the usual suspects). Loved the excess of cucumber slices in my spritz (that felt cheeky), but the drink itself was mostly ice. My friend's bloody was VERY strong, I don't think she even finished it. She liked her Tuna Tostada; the Butterbean Dip (which is vegan! A pot of creamed butterbeans and a side of homemade [?] saltines) was good, but the toppings (the castelvetrano olive and fresno peppers) did all the heavy lifting. The dishes were taken away from us before we were finished them without being asked if we were done; that felt a little weird to me (and, no, they weren't busy when we came). The bartender was the highlight of the experience. So friendly, so engaging, so quick-witted, so real. They double-checked ingredients for us; they made suggestions and told us why those were their suggestions. Cheers to the staff!

    Delightful and even cuter than you'd expect! I loved the bright colors of the interior, the bartenders I was served by, and the menu! Mimosas with pet nat & fresh squeezed orange were simple, but so good. Loved the food offerings and it was the perfect starting point for my birthday celebration. I wish there was a Cuties at home, but I'll visit on my next vacation!

    Came here on recommendation from a coworker and the drink were good not a place I would come back personally. The vibe was cute bartenders were nice once noticed you. We came during day so maybe different vibe. But we came went.

    Such a cute spot. The name totally fits the vibe. It was recommended that we visit cuties by a few people, so we decided to stroll over for a mid-day cocktail. We sat at the bar and chatted with the bartender on recommendations and each of them were very personable and accommodating. We ended up with an expresso martini, which is not vodka based and another drink with prosecco. Both were tasty but honestly I'd come back just for the vibe. Very chilled and easy. Thanks cut

    Boat doctor and popcorn shrimp

    Sister bar to room for improvement. Same formula, drinks and a bit of bar food. Service fast and on point Better come at 5 pm sharp because I came at 5.30 pm and the place jam packet (ex petite Jacqueline place). I ordered boat doctor and danger margarita. The boat doctor's ginger slightly a bit over, can't taste some of the ingredient. But ginger is always like that, a little come a long way. Good place to hang out with friends with good drinks.

    Shrimp toast and popcorn shrimp

    Already the new "It" bar in Portland just days after opening, Cuties lives up to the hype. It's quite literally the light to sister bar's Room For Improvement's darkness. The space is mostly bar (with 16 seats), and nearly as many counter stools, providing possibly the best people watching in the city through the floor to ceiling windows. Vintage, bright yellow furniture for larger parties encompasses the rear of the bar. The full house (half hour after opening) was all ages, but heavily leans towards the trendy crowd. Sigh, it stinks getting old! The cocktails are all creative spins on classics, similar to Room for Improvement, but lean sweeter. I slightly prefer the drinks at Room and hope they add some less sweet options in the "Boozy" section of the menu, but these are some of the best downtown. The espresso martini ($15, or $7 mini) might be better than the famous rendition at Room, and the mini frozen margarita ($5) is a must-order. Those fish-shaped creations you're seeing all over Instagram? It's the Oaxaca-Yaki ($10), basically slightly spicy mozzarella sticks, and it's fantastic. The Coconut Shrimp Toast ($12) might somehow be better, even if you don't love shrimp. Only the Popcorn Shrimp ($12) was too salty and I wouldn't order again. Cuties is going to be a massive hit in the Old Port, especially when they're open all day. It's a much brighter, airy, and (I think) better atmosphere than Room For Improvement, which is really saying something. I can't wait to return.

    What a great surprise to stumble into! The service was excellent everyone was so friendly, attentive, and quick. The space itself was spotless and had a really nice vibe, with plenty of seating options depending on what kind of hangout you're after. I especially loved the specialty cocktails creative, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. Definitely a spot I love.

    Came in on a Thursday night around 7 and it was packed--but we were able to get the two couch seats for our group of five. I got the Red Wine Supernova, it was sweet, smooth, and perfect. Service was fast and friendly, and our drinks and apps came out quick. Everyone loved what they ordered. If you like spice, the Cajun shrimp is a must! Personally for me the place was a little loud and hard to hear when chatting. Overall will return!

    Came here for an after dinner drink with a friend. It was a great spacious space. My friend talks about this place alot so when we saw that it was open he said we had to go. This place also has coffee so its not just a bar but its open from morning to night. I was not particularly blown away by the drink menu so I opted to try a NA beer. It was good but I was full from dinner. I would try and see what their coffee is like though next time I am in town.

    Cuties is one of my main rotation bars in Portland maine for evening hangs and drinks, one of my favorite ambiance bars to attend! Was very excited once they opened doors for full food services (breakfast, lunch, & dinner bites) once I heard they added a burger to there I had to check it out! The food was what I expected very delicious and stand out different, the burger was surprisingly delicate for being a double smash burger and the shrimp roll was very fresh, nice size shrimp and served on a perfect roll to compliment the experience! I love when places don't try to reinvent the food world by keeping it traditional while hitting the correct flavors to compliment the food itself. Highly recommend checking out Cuties for breakfast lunch or light dinner bites, great bar experience!

They advertise themselves as all day cafe/bar and market. The vibes were perfect with an overall cozy and welcoming feel. It seemed like a spot many regulars come to often as the workers appeared to know many people who came through! They have a bar with roughly 8 seats, along with some tables. With the back of the store having goodies to buy including candles, self-care items, wines, drinks, and more. Worth browsing before or after your drinks and food. We snagged two bar stools and were immediately greeted and served water along with a menu. All three staff members were friendly and made us feel welcome. Drink wise my wife got an iced mocha while I saw their drink special of the month on social media and had to try it. Named The Blue Rose with Butterfly pea flower, cardamom rose, whole milk, pebble ice and espresso on top. A photo-worthy beverage with a delicious flavor. I would keep coming back for this drink for sure if it were a permanent menu item! Food wise my wife and I both got a breakfast sandwich, only difference she got bacon while I got the impossible sausage. Well made and delicious sandwiches that would make us return as well. I do wish they would have been a little bigger though. If our visit today was any indication of the typical my wife and I would gladly return! Friendly service in a great setting with well made food and drinks. Need to return to give their cocktails a try! A standout space in Portland.

She is a book lover and we both love our coffees and cocktails. This is a spot that offers all of that and is a third space I think that has been popular and will in general be missed. We even visited during their opening day back in December 2023. They will be closing their doors on April 17th 2026. I will say that due to them getting their books from a local used bookstore they do not have the latest and greatest selection of books that you'd expect if they were a bookstore. I have not had complaints during any of our visits here. I have enjoyed their coffee as well as their chai lattes along with enjoyed all the cocktails I have tried. I have especially enjoyed the espresso martinis and have liked the fact you could in fact get the coffee drinks and cocktails any time of their hours opened. During the majority of their time open they would offer specialty espresso martinis as well. Some of my favorite cities to visit have many coffee cafe meets cocktail bar and is a concept I wish were more popular in Portland. It is a difficult time currently for all and any local business so with yet another closing I encourage you to support your favorite places when and how you can! Cheers to Novel and thanks for the space you offered to locals and visitors!

I first heard…read moreabout Navis Café while attending a yelp elite event at Thames Landing, which is located directly next-door which also has the same owners, the Roy's. My husband and I love Thames Landing, so why not try breakfast and lunch! Located on the waterfront in downtown Portland, they have a nice view of the walkway, railway, and the ocean Gateway. Parking is either on street or in the conveniently located parking area next to the building. I ordered the breakfast sandwich of bacon, egg, and cheese on and everything bagel. Bagel was nicely toasted not overly chewy, cheddar, egg, and bacon well balanced. I ate it so fast I forgot to take a picture! For lunch, I ordered their Bow sandwich which consisted of sliced smoked turkey, cheddar, bacon, greens, and red onion with a chipotle mayo, which I substituted for regular. They give you multiple choices of bread, I chose a wrap, which they kindly cut in half. I found this to be very delicious, the turkey the cheese to be well balanced with the greens making it very refreshing with each bite. I did take a picture of this! I enjoyed my lunch with some kombucha, which also was very refreshing. My hope is that my husband and I will go for breakfast this weekend when I can go out and experience the atmosphere and where I can take more photos.

The service was nice, prompt, and the prices were reasonable, which we appreciated. We're from New York, so we're definitely used to top-tier bagels. That said--considering this was a bagel from Maine--it was pretty A-okay, lol. Nothing mind-blowing, but solid enough for a casual breakfast. The cafe itself is really nice inside and seemed dog-friendly, which is always a plus. In the past, they've also had great pre-packaged dessert options from a local bakery. I didn't see anything that caught my eye this time around, but it's something I've enjoyed before. Overall, a pleasant stop with friendly service and a comfortable atmosphere--just manage expectations if you're a New York bagel snob like us.

Second Rodeo is women-owned and a very welcoming space so huge positives there. Like some others I was surprised by how large their space was. Seating options are also vast in what felt like they picked up a variety of vintage furniture along some normal tables/chairs. While most of it did not feel cohesion or of the same vibe I think it works extremely well for what they are going for. Workers were very friendly and did give an accurate estimate of our wait due to being busy which I appreciated. Drink wise they have most of the options you would expect a local shop to have now. My wife got the iced version of their Black Forest Latte. I went with an iced Peppermint Mocha Latte. Both drinks lacked the amount of flavor we expected and thought they were more watery than we had hoped. Due to this and being about half an hour away from us not sure how quickly we will return. If it were local to our area I suspect we would return often enough due to the welcoming and inviting vibes which I'm sure they have many local regulars. If we do return I'll give a hot drink a try in hopes of being better. Do visit this spot though to give them a fair try!
