    Want crusted cod with a squash puree and cranberry coulis
    Gabrielle M.

    Top to bottom excellence. I'm surprised and delighted by a perfect evening, ambiance, server, and the food! My dining companion is Gluten free and even she could eat almost the entire menu. Steak frites, perfect prepared tempura dilly beans with homemade ranch almost made my head spin off they were so good (but sounded odd, ordered anyway). Beet salad was just right, we had beautiful old fashioned, even the ice was perfect w a strip of orange peel peeking out. Seriously, people. This is a not-to-be-missed spot! I had been for coffee and pastry and had no idea what a dinner gem it was!!

    Cozy counter-service cafe with a small menu of both food and drinks, as well as limited indoor and outdoor seating In terms of breakfast foods all they really have are baked goods and breakfast sandwiches, but they have a bunch of options for customizing your breakfast sandwich (different breads, meats, etc) My GF and I both ordered vanilla lattes (mine hot & her's iced) as well a breakfast sandwiches on biscuits -My latte was pretty sub-par, but hers wasn't too bad -Both of us really enjoyed our breakfast sandwiches, but the biscuit was pretty crumbly 7.5

    First timer here at the Bistro. Apparently, it's the only breakfast place around the Yarmouth area. Incredible baked goods and brunch on Sunday. I had the bacon/apple/cheddar omelette and the side of mini baked potato was incredible but the omelette was a bit on the dry side...more cheese or a sauce may have helped. Their bread is homemade and together with the homemade jams made for another great side. And, they have homemade sourdough bagels! The server was fantastic and made sure to offer gluten free choices. The ambiance is a casual rustic farm setting which is very quaint. And, don't miss the hot latte!

    Cute items to see

    There was outside seating with a fire pit. Delicious breakfast sandwich! There were 2 choices English muffin or biscuit. Mine was with a biscuit and added beacon. The breakfast potatoes were just right seasoning. Very busy place and friendly sevice.

The coffee was so rich and satisfying, BUT THE BAGEL. Omg, the quality of that bagel was beyond description. Freshly made, the egg was a fresh cracked one and the bacon done perfect and savory. The veg cream cheese that is used tasted just made as well. the gentleman making it was so sweet and the lady who took my order was wonderful. The leather cushy chair I enjoyed while waiting was heaven. I can't say enough and I hope to be back very soon. THANK YOU for making my morning.

    Okay, I was looking for a coffee place to kill some time at before an appointment in the area. This…read moreplace came up in my search and boy am I glad I decided to stop here. First - it is super cute. With a mix of community tables, counter seating, and even one very cozy looking chair (I say looking because it was occupied and I was unable to plunk myself down and enjoy my book - which it was beckoning me to do). They have an extensive coffee menu and use their own roasted beans. I went with a standard coffee but did upgrade to maple syrup for my sweetener. (Anyone who knows me knows this alone won me over!) And, if you eat in - your coffee comes in a beautiful real mug! They have decent bakery case which is stocked with pastries from Two Fat Cats and bagels from Rose Foods! That's right - you can get a Rose Food bagel without the hassle of parking on Forest Ave in Portland. I got the Mystery Spice (old bay seasoning) and enjoyed half with Olive Cream Cheese and the other with Herbed. Clearly they make the cream cheeses here in house and they are delicious. The place seems pretty popular as there were many people here on a Thursday morning. Already planning a trip back here with a friend for a little remote work day!

    Working towards checking out all the coffee spots nearby and my wife and I decided to check out…read morethis spot today. It truly is a small little shack and had a drive thru with window on both sides for you to pull up to and order. So if one side has a line go to the other side. They do have breakfast offerings but we only grabbed drinks. Both members of staff (possibly the owners) were extremely friendly and gave us an extra minute to figure out what we wanted. Made us feel very welcome because of their kindness. They offer all the drinks you'd expect both hot and iced and lots of flavors available to add. Then also they had some seasonal Valentine's Day specials available as well. My wife got an iced mocha and I got an iced latte with toasted marshmallow flavor added. Both were well made drinks that we enjoyed. They did not blow us away but would be no complaints if we got them again. So while they did not become our favorite coffee spot we would return and leave happy and caffeinated. Worth giving a shot if you are nearby and want a quick drink!

    Cute! The tiniest little establishment I ever did see!…read more We were caffeine deprived & bordering on cranky, so imagine how siked we were when we searched on Yelp for COFFEE, PLEASE! & found this lil shack, right off i95. We giggled when we saw it. Truly the silliest coffee shop I've ever seen. "Shack" is the appropriate word. The employee at the drive-thru window was friendly & helpful. The whole interaction, from rolling up to rolling away with our goodies, took about 7 minutes. They had gluten-free bagel options which was a wonderful surprise, but they also were out of quite a few things - many types of bagels (both gluten-free & regular) & flavors of cream cheese. My bagel was about as good as any gluten-free bagel can get. I took a big whiff of my BFF's regular asiago bagel & it smelled fantastic. The iced lattes were a big hit & got us through the next 4+ hours of sitting in holiday weekend traffic. I would definitely come back if I was in the area again & I recommend this spot for anyone who is passing by on a road trip or becoming increasingly cranky without caffeine.

    Stuck in here after getting off of a boat that we're doing a cruise on that stops in Portland. They…read moreare directly across the street from where you disembarked the boat. I walked in. It was immediately greeted by the smell of pumpkin spice, which isn't typically my go to, but it smells good so I ordered a pumpkin spice latte and my husband ordered a double shot. It was $12 for the 2 cups of coffee plus, of course they asked for a tip. They only have the one size which I would say is probably a small. We waited a good 15 minutes for 2 cups of coffee. The coffee is very good, but I can't see me having time to wait for this if I worked in the area. The inside feel is very industrial nothing cozy at all.

    I work within a stones throw of Speckled Ax, so this cafe is certainly a go to for me (despite a…read moresmall area around my office with a densely populated coffee shop/cafe per capita ratio). The staff is extremely friendly and, despite being close to where all the cruise ships port, the service is prompt! I appreciate their run of the mill hot late the most (but I'm admittedly afraid of deviating from my norm too much). The kicker for me is the bakery/breakfast sandwich options... they are amazing!! Not everything is made in house, at least I think that's my understanding, and it's different each day (breakfast sandwiches are not available on Monday/Tuesday). But everything I've ever had is 10/10, delicious!
