There are pillows on the seats that tie the whole experience together. The only other coffee shop in Orono is Aroma Joe's and Nest beats it by quite a bit.

I opted for a gingerbread cold foam iced coffee and it was delicious! I also got a cheddar chive bagel and a s'mores bar to go. I asked the barista if she recommended the pumpkin cookie or s'mores bar and she said both were delicious but the smores bar was her favorite so I went with that. Would definitely stop in again and try other fun drinks.

I went here for the first and last time, yesterday. It was a cute, simple but quaint shop. The case…read morehad the days offerings looked nice. They had Banana Choc Chip rolls that looked like Large cinnamon rolls. The display showed them at about 5" inches across. I ordered one while I was looking everything over and she boxed it up. I brought it home only to find she had given me a roll HALF the size of the others. It was old and hard as a rock and drier than a bone. If u arengoing to display one thing but serve another, I think that's false advertising. Also, there is not set menu so u will never know if what u want is even going to be there. Along with the parking issues, I will not be returning. Im sorry this didn't work out.

They helped me pick the right flavor that I didn't even know I was searching for. I ended up with the Florida Sunrise, it definitely has orange in it and I think mango and pineapple and was topped off with powdered strawberry which was amazing. I also had them throw in an immunity booster because it's that time right now and why not? Great place, will definitely be back for a smoothie or shake sometime soon!

I ordered a cold brew with sweet cold foam. There is no screen at the speaker box so I can't see what she put in, but she didn't read it back to me, so at the window I noticed she put in sweet n low instead of foam. I wasn't rude or impatient; I understand it's hard to hear things through the head set. I even apologized even though I didn't do anything wrong, and told her I said sweet cold foam. She goes "oh. So you don't want sweet n low?" In a rude tone. And I go "no, just sweet cold foam". and she says "well /that's/ just cool and awesome" SO sarcastically and didn't even apologize for her error or snapping. I wasn't being rude or short with her at all, and she had the audacity to not control her sour mood and anger and make customers who didn't do anything to her, like me, feel upset. at this dunkin specifically, I have always had the worse experience not comparable to any of the other dunks nearby. One of the problems is the food is usually over cooked and/or they tend to forget to put all my items in my bag so I will have to check my bag at the window and tell them. I usually come here at least 2x per week and I will not be after this experience. I genuinely hope you guys realize it's really easy as baristas to put on a smile and be nice to people who are being nice to you. As one myself, we tend to have to apologize even when it's a customer's mistake, because we always try to "make the moment right" by creating the most positive energy we can. It is inexcusable and extremely immature that this crew member decides to take her anger out on innocent people who are really patient and pretty understanding (like me).

Normally my rating of a Governor's visit could be a predictable 4 or better, but this particular…read morevisit was for their Comfort Food Thursday night buffer, which we have wanted to try for a while. The theme is comfort foods, so it would be optimistic to count on chef quality cuisine. Still, the offering had a few disappointments. Mind you, the pot roast was excellent, tender and tasty, and the juice (au jus?) was much better for the mashed potatoes than the canned gravy they put next to the taters. The bbq pulled pork, the mac and cheese were fine, and I didn't risk trying the dumplings, chicken fingers, French fries or chicken pot pie. The desserts, of course were also okay. The chicken broccoli Alfredo and the pineapple rice chicken dish were also okay. No doubt I would have liked it much more if it came with a few of my own comfort food favorites, such as meatballs, kielbasa and peppers/onion, pasta dishes such as spaghetti, American chop suey or lasagna - well, I could go on. The key is to check on Facebook and see what they are cooking for the buffet before you make plans.
