It was so amazing I will go back to try the other specials very soon. Reasonable prices and some great original recipes. The homemade blueberry muffin was packed with blueberries and a really flavorful. The store has a great selection of locally crafted gifts, food items, and tinctures.

It's just a matter of getting there before it sells out. There's indoor and outdoor seating. There is the potential of a wait if you arrive mid morning. Just a warning. It is worth the wait!

The chicken bacon ranch sandwich was served on an amazingly flavorful and fresh rosemary bread, and came with a small bag of kettle cooked chips and a delightful pickle slice. The drip coffee options were plentiful and flavorful. Cafe 1055 is an amazing place to stop in for breakfast or lunch! Take time to make the trip, trust me, it's Totally worth it!!!

It shares a parking lot with Yolked and is only open Thursday - Sunday. I went in on a Friday around 11am and almost everything was already sold out. I returned Sunday for a full loaf of sourdough and some pastries. The sourdough is big and beautiful, not too crusty, nicely hydrated loaf. The croissants were very tasty. But if I'm nitpicking, I think the ham and cheese could be improved if the ham inside steams rather than crisping - it gets rubbery and not that enjoyable to chew through. Fabulous neighborhood bakery. Definitely visit and support!

The service/staff - 10 stars from the moment we walked in. It was like walking into a friends house for a dinner party/gathering. So friendly and welcoming, like they had been looking forward to us arriving. We were brought to our table in the one of the side rooms furthest from the kitchen, main room. There were a few other tables in the same room, but it didn't feel crowded. Great menu, not a large selection, however, there is definitely something for everyone. I selected the chicken and dumplings. It wasn't like the traditional chicken and dumplings. The dumplings were petite and so delicious! The sour dough bread made fresh daily....get it if you can. You may want to call ahead and preorder for your dinner. They run out fast. Our server was very engaging, patiently explained the dishes and offerings. Checked on us, kept our drinks full, she made us smile and laugh. She was fun! Overall - delicious food and drink. A cozy setting for a lovely dinner. Also - private lot with plenty of parking! I can't wait to go back again soon.

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.

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!

Their cafe is a bright and inviting and large space. The two workers the day we went were friendly and chatted while our drinks were being made. Nice to have a more local and non-chain coffee spot in this area with the coffee options mostly being the giant names. Lots of cold and hot options but we decided to go with their M&H Iced Latte and my fiancée got their Iced Rasmo speciality. Both drinks we would get again. Give this a place a chance if you are looking for a different coffee spot!

It comes straight from Dubai, and that influence is obvious in both the menu and the overall vibe. This is a great spot for a lot of different moments. Morning coffee, an afternoon pick-me-up, getting a little work done, an after-dinner treat, or even a late-night hang with sober friends sipping tea or coffee. They're usually open around 8-10 most days and stay open until 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays, but definitely double-check Google for current hours. The space itself is beautiful. I wouldn't call it cozy, it's more high-end and sleek, almost like a really well-lit lounge or nightclub, just without loud music or chaos. The lighting and decor are very intentional and make it a fun place to sit and hang out. They have some really eye-catching desserts and treats. I tried the strawberry Dubai chocolate cup and it was excellent. Honestly the second best one I've had, with Nuts Factory in Boston still holding my number one spot. Also, if you're looking for those viral fruit-shaped ice creams, this is a good place to check out. Service was a little slow when I went. There were two young men working and it seemed like one of them was still learning the equipment and drink-making process. That said, they were both very polite and kind, and I'm happy to give grace when people are learning. I definitely need to go back for a crepe and a latte. Overall, a really cool, stylish spot and one I'm glad Portland has.

The place is nice inside bright and welcoming. They have a good size menu and the crepes smelled good. I ordered the Nantucket red small , they charged me for a large I corrected them no problem . The small was definitely small for $9.00. The beet flavor was very prevalent and sort of took over the whole smoothie. I had expected the other flavored would have been more pronounced. I have had smoothies with beet before and it was a sweeter mix so that was a little disappointing. Nice place but felt expensive for what I got .

Great smoothie, but I probably will not be returning. My warning about this business is the sizes…read moreof the smoothies/juices they sell. There are two sizes that are offered (small and large). The small is 9.00$ without tax when the large is 13$ without tax. Today I spent 9.72$ on a small smoothie that I did end up enjoying but the size of the cup was insane for the price tag they put on it. Below you can see a picture I took representing and comparing the size to my energy drink powder mix. Things I noticed where they don't put the ounces of the drinks on the menu board but only the prices. At the counter they also had no cups out showing the sizes of the drinks. They also display no prices on the online menu, where I first looked, as-well as no ounces of the smoothie drinks. I work for a small business in southern Maine and I just think this is completely unreasonable for sizing. I shop small constantly trying new places and have never spent over 9$ on one drink, or even a SMALL drink and I don't think I want to ever again.
