Title: Great vibes, fantastic drinks, but skip the unsolicited lecture…read more We're visiting Bangor for the first time and were absolutely thrilled to stumble upon this spot while walking downtown. The atmosphere is exactly what you hope for in a local coffee shop--loved the aesthetic, the crowd was friendly, and having the lounge area next door is a fantastic touch. The drinks themselves? Delicious. The person at the register clearly knows how to pull a great shot and make a beautiful beverage. However, we had a really odd interaction while ordering. Without any prompting from us, the barista launched into a strange, unsolicited lecture about whether a Café Mocha is Italian or American, speaking to us as if we had never had coffee outside of the U.S. It was especially baffling given that we've visited Italy numerous times. We didn't ask for the history lesson, and being talked down to for no reason definitely left a sour note on an otherwise lovely visit. The bottom line: Absolutely come here for the cozy space and the high-quality drinks. Just hope the person at the register decides to skip the coffee trivia and just make the amazing drinks they clearly know how to make.

I found the coffee to be average and overpriced. For two large cold brews with milk and flavored…read moresyrup, it was over $15. We also got the raspberry lemon loaf, and two slices of that made the total over $25! Unfortunately the loaf was completely inedible. So dry I could barely swallow it. I bake quick loaves all the time at home and have never tasted one so dry. The staff were super friendly and I loved the vibe of the place but I wouldn't return.

Stopped by The Grind House on my way through from Bar Harbor to Boston Logan International…read more I was excited to see an impossible breakfast sandwich on the menu as well as a peanut butter mocha. Seriously, two of my favorite things to see on a coffee house menu. That said the execution was a bit off for me. The Impossible breakfast sandwich was served on an insubstantial bun (the type that is more air than anything) and was overall pretty basic. Their signature sauce mentioned in several dishes, seems to be thousand island or maybe tartar sauce? Either way, it wasn't my favorite. The peanut butter mocha was also a bit of a miss for me. I wasn't a fan of either their chocolate or their espresso (or the peanut butter flavor they used, for that matter). The shop itself is quirky and comfortable. We were able to get a spot by the windows, which was nice and the service was lovely. It would definitely be a good and comfortable spot for working and it could be that had I ordered differently, it may have been more my cup of tea (or coffee, as they case may be). But for what I ordered, it was a bit of a swing and a miss.

Walked in and wow, lots to read on the menu! Which can be good and bad depending on how much time…read moreyou want to spend reading menus. I chose a egg and cheese on a croissant bun and a caramel turtle latte. I came here because it had been highly recommended, but I have to say, I expected more, but depends on what you like, right?? Plenty of seating, centrally located in the city, easy parking, and plenty of coffee concoctions to try out. My coffee was missing the whipped cream, but oh well. The froth for the latte was odd, it deflated super quickly, not sure what happened there. And the sweetness was sweet, but it was missing that caramel turtle flavor I thought I was going to get. For me, this was meh. I expected something more decadent. My egg sandwich was good. Basic. Not a real croissant either. It was a croissant bun of some sort. It seemed, well, basic, or economical. But it was filling and the egg was good. I also have to say that when I departed, I smelled like a convenience store that sells those hotdogs on rollers... I smelled all day, I had to wash my hair to get the smell out. I also have to mention the heavy music that was playing. It was obscene and it was loud. So loud it made it challenging to order and I did eat my meal quickly and leave. It was a Tuesday morning around 9 am. But hey I am getting older so this may not have been a good choice for me.

We also found some cannoli shells which were 50% off, and some imported chocolate hazelnut spread. Service is friendly, store layout and presentation are well thought out, prices are a bit high but they are understandable considering they have some unique and healthy offerings.

The space is packed with beautiful local and specialty items, but it feels, somehow, intimate? It's a really special spot. Kudos to the whole crew there and hats off to the owners.

There were so many options for breakfast ranging from omlettes, sandwiches, and burritos. I opted for a simple bagel with their raspberry cream cheese and it was great.

All iced coffee appears to be made from concentrate. An iced latte is made with espresso,…read moretypically, and paying espresso prices for chilled concentrate was not what I had in mind. The staff weren't friendly but I'm not particularly bothered by that if the coffee is good. The wait was suspiciously too short - if you don't warm bagels and are just shoving pre-packaged cream cheese and cold bagels into a bag, and pouring coffee concentrate into a cup, I suppose it'll stay quick. Two bagels, two iced "lattes" were a total of $25. I was bummed because we saw good reviews and chose this place out of all options to make our morning stop. Pick somewhere else if you're visiting and looking for somewhere consistently good. If you're worried about speed and little else, this was faster than national chain drive thru anything could hope to be so that's probably what it's best for.
