    Couldn't wait to take a bite!

    We stopped in to try the Lobster rolls here while we were in port on a cruise ship. We asked our tour guide for a suggestion and this is where he sent us. So glad he did! Hubby and I both ordered a Lobster Roll and Chocolate Chip Cookies. The Lobster Roll was huge. Chocked full of Lobster. I asked for Mayo for mine. We both loved it. Price was good. Didn't wait long to get our food once we placed our order at the counter. We definitely would come back!

    Navis is one of those cafes I'm surprised isn't more busy during the week. They have a small menu, but something for everyone--their Grain Bowl, chowder, avo toast, and chai latte are my favorites. It's a perfect place to sit and work on a sunny day, as the interior is incredibly bright and sunny given their floor-to-ceiling windows. The staff are always friendly as well. I love popping in here for a quick bite!

    Cute outdoor seating area.

    So - my office is opening a new building sometime on the Portland waterfront. And this cute little cafe is just a hop, skip and a jump away. Since I had some time to kill today before an apt and hadn't eaten yet - I thought I'd check it out. The menu had a mix of breakfast, sandwiches and salads - perfect work day items. On special today - they had a Chinese Chicken Salad and a Lobster Roll combo. Both were tempting, but I was t that hungry. I went with Avocado Toast (added bacon), a chocolate chip cookie, and a rose. All hit the spot perfectly! The service was friendly and quick. And that patio - on a hot, breezy day was perfection! Looking forward to coming back to try some of this sandwiches and salads.

    Staff was nice but sandwich was meh ($15 for regular cold cuts on toast) with no chipotle aioli and fat chunks of red onion. Coffee options to do yourself were literally just milk and domino sugar... the only great thing about this place was the location near the water. Not for me for $23.

    I'm so glad that the Portland Food Fight brought me here for the best sandwich competition. Out of the two choices I was able to pick from, I went with The Stern (turkey, Gouda, caramelized onion, apple and chipotle mayo) and I'm so glad I did! I've only made a few stops on the coupon map and I already know this place is a contender for 1st place. The bread was super fresh and all the texturizes and flavors of the ingredients complimented each other beautifully. The girl at the counter was absolutely delightful. The looks space looks like it's freshly built, clean as a whistle, with a beautiful counter tops filled with fresh baked breads, cookies and pastries. I'm so excited to discover they sell my "go-to" adult canned beverages by Maine Craft Distillery. I've yet to visit any other bars that carry the Blueshine Lemonade. Yay for locals supporting other locals!

    Bagels tasted like bread. Not a bagel. Wouldn't last a day in NYC . The lox was excellent. We are the toppings and left the bagel.

The owner is really adorable and they were quick to take and prepare a takeout order. Everything from start to finish was done with love and care. The Banh mi was solid -- good filling and the roast pork was great. We are lucky to have a lot of plentiful Vietnamese food options around and welcome a new addition to the area. Streetwich is not as convenient for me but I have one Vietnamese friend in sopo and she deserves her own access to Banh mi too.

Ample signage and nice sandwich board in front with specials. Inside they offer books and little nooks to sit, bar seating to look out at the street traffic too. It is small divided tween kitchen/prep area and restaurant area. Good menu selection for sandwiches, drinks, and desserts. They have a nice sandwich box so you can see what the item will look like if unfamiliar. Woman taking orders was smiles and happy with each person served. I came with questions and settled for a regular taro milk tea with bubbles. People were coming in and soon the place was alive with good food and good company. May 2026

    Montes, need a pizza fix in portland? Look no further. This isn't a run of the mill NY joint. They…read moreserve up a Roman style. First, some expectation setting- You can think of it as a first cousin to a grandma style or second cousin to a Sicilian. Thinner crust, decent structure, more structured than a NY, less structured than a Sicilian or a good grandma style. It's a little lighter than a Sicilian or grandma in terms of crust. "Heaviness" is pretty subjective depending on the toppings. The pizza - Soppresatta was packed with flavor, salty, spicy, little sweet from a touch of honey and a very fresh, slightly punchy sauce - keeps some acidity and tastes lively. The crust was delicious, from what I read, this is a sourdough crust. Definitely had some good character and flavor to it.. I got this heated before eating it. The vegan special - obviously I'm not vegan, but that pizza looked phenomenal. Had to try it. This one did not get heated up as it was suggested to leave it cold (logical considering it basically has a salad on top). I don't know what the vegan cheese was but it tasted like a whipped ricotta/goat cheese would. The fresh tomato, pickled peppers and red onion all played perfectly together. I'd certainly go back here. A little on the pricey side but I think it rang in around $18 on these 2 slices (yes, pictured is considered a slice of each) I was plenty satisfied.

I honestly didn't think I'd have a chance to get back to this place, but my sister was sneaky and sent her GPS so that we were going right by it before I headed off to the airport to head home and I'm so glad she did This place is fantastic. The pizza is great. I wish I had room in my suitcase to bring back other items, but it was fantastic to be able to stop by and really looking forward to going there the next time I'm back in Maine.
