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.

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.

There were more flies than customers and employees in the building which is inexcusable in an air conditioned building with closed doors.

After several minutes I ask the manager if anyone is working the front counter and she gives me a look and nods to the two chocolate fans, who then one of them acknowledges us in line and starts taking orders. Once order placed, it took forever. Friends who came in through (you can tell they know each other) were served immediately and walked out with drinks/food well before those of us who already ordered. The bathroom was a complete piss bowl too, urine everywhere. Nasty.

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.

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.
