Nest is awesome! It replaced the vape shop that used to be here and is now a cozy cafe with breakfast sandwiches, baked goods, and delicious drinks. 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 recommend a ginger snap cappuccino or a chai/Thai tea! You have to try Nest. This place deserves all the business and it's a great place to study and chat. read more

No seating ever available but drinks are delicious and the acai bowls are as well. They have seasonal offerings for drinks and for food and their staff is friendly and patient. read more

We've enjoyed the breakfast here frequently for many months now. Consistently delicious and fresh. The egg sandwiches are really good with ham (extra for an additional $1.50 ~ wish they had that option for an extra egg). The sausage and egg is really good too! The lox are fresh but need capers and tomato ;) We typically order online and pick up. Service is friendly but sometimes there's no acknowledgement of your presence until they finish a small chore... drink some coffee guys ;) read more

I guess I didn't realize there were two Nest cafés but the one in Orono is FAR SUPERIOR to the one in Bangor. Mocha was phenomenal (so no need to drive all the way to St. John anymore), bagel sandwiches were fantastic, atmosphere could be a little cozier but pretty good all around. Definitely the go to spot for coffee or breakfast! read more

I dropped in just to grab something to drink while I walked through town. I smelled something so delicious I had to go in. I grabbed a chai late that was very good. I noticed a pumpkin sign and asked for some. It was sooooo good!!! The seating area looks so cozy. I would love to come back! read more

Coffee should be available in the early afternoon. The ambience was good, but the service was lackadaisical.

Stopped in for a coffee and quick bite. Latte was a bit on the bitter side but still good. Bagel was definitely not a New York stale bagel, a bit doughier than I like but made a great sandwich. Overall happy with my order and service. The Nest is small and cozy, and they got a beautiful beaten copper espresso machine. Their real menu is slightly different from what's posted on Yelp. Will be back! read more

Breakfast sandwich hit the spot! It has the feel of a college coffee shop! Good thing since it is a college coffee shop. Employs several coeds working to pay for school. I will be back just for the excellent service. read more

I absolutely love the avocado toast with feta and the BLT bagel sandwich. The pb and chocolate smoothie bowl was also a top favorite of mine. Never tried the coffee but I've heard that's pretty good as well! Seating inside is pretty full every time i try to go in, but they're usually pretty quick to get food and drinks out! read more

Best bagel sandwich I've ever had! Sausage egg and cheese on onion bagel was so amazing we literally came back the next day for the exact same breakfast our second day in Maine! The bagels are so fresh, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Also great service! read more

This is the coffee/smoothie shop that Orono needed! Their lattes are very well done with LOTS of milk options. The smoothie bowls are my favorite thing, especially the chocolate peanut butter protein one. I will eat that at 8am and be full until 1pm, no joke. If you need a healthy meal on the go AND some coffee to keep you going, this is the place. read more

Grabbed breakfast and coffee before our Umaine tour. This place was super cute inside! Coffee was delicious, two of us had bagel sandwiches that were excellent and another had the acai bowl which he enjoyed as well. I will absolutely be back when we are in Orono again read more

I had the best bagel of my life here! Everything bagel with homemade chive cream cheese... soo tasty!!

Great food! Quality food! Good customer service and a nice atmosphere. Our family visits every time we are in the area.

Cute place, and one of the few coffee shops we could find around the area. Good food, good service and nicely decorated. We ended going there twice while on vacation. Highly recommended! read more

the food was alright the breakfast burrito lacked flavor it was oftly bland and small for paying 8.50$ the red bull flavoring drink is sugar free. sure the bowl is very filling. they need to get plastic straws my straw literally fell apart inside my drink. service was decent nice young lady's working. the ambiance is great nice "homie" vibes. read more

I've gone here twice so far, both times have been pretty enjoyable. They're usually a bit busy but the employees work quick and are charismatic. I loved the coffee I got. Would definitely recommend. My order is the vanilla ice chai latte with oat milk! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here on the way to a hike in Acadia, and it was great. Took advantage of the custom bowls and everything was fresh and delicious. Coffee was great as well - all in all a great stop :) read more

I'm a frequent açaí bowl eater... and don't normally write yelp reviews but thought the bowls at Nest deserved some praise! I live in NYC and have tried all the best açaí bowls places... the bowls at Nest are on par if not better! I got the Black Bear-y bowl (left) and my boyfriend got the Chocolate PB bowl (right). Both were great, large portions, with the toppings mixed in so you weren't left at the end with all smoothie and no toppings. Mine was light and fruity, and the Chocolate PB was rich and creamy and tasted to me like a blended up Reese's cup... it was so good! I think if I go back I'd try the tropical bowl... or get myself the chocolate PB. Also - in nyc I always get Oat milk in my iced coffee, and I've found when leaving the city it's difficult to find in other coffee shops. I was pleasantly surprised that Nest had Oat Milk for my iced coffee! read more

I've had a coffee and a smoothie from here and I was impressed. It's one of the few places in Orono to go and get your fix but I personally think it's not worth it. They do have a cute environment and very nice employees! read more

Great place. Love the food, almost never disappointed with the rich tastes. Nutella coffee or the green monster are my go-to smoothies. Good ambiance but the smoothie machine... it's just so loud.. I know there is not much that can be done but if there is a will there is a way. Perhaps relocating it? It would be epic to see this business expanded their square footage. All around though, my friends and I are always am coming back. read more

I love Nest's smoothies and smoothie bowls. I usually get the chocolate peanut butter bowl because peanut butter's all I really care about in life, but this morning I went with the açaí bowl and was presently surprised. Getting a Nest smoothie or smoothie bowl once a week is the only way I can motivate myself to get work done. I've heard several people complain about the workers being not very friendly. While I'll admit the staff isn't super warm, I've never had a bad experience. I don't really need someone to be very friendly and talkative to me while they make my smoothie. Overall, I really enjoy Nest and I'm glad they're in town. read more

Nest - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Orono, Maine

A cute little coffee shop in Orono. They have some interesting menu items like smoothie bowls. I typically come in to sit and read. They have a great deal from 12-4pm called "Grumpy Hour," which is an iced latte for $2.50. I haven't tried any of their food yet because it's a little pricey for me. I have friends who rave about the smoothie bowls though ($5.50-$7). read more

Really good food! Would recommend the açaí bowl or the avocado toast with egg. Only rough part is the prices add up quick. Gets really busy on weekend mornings and can be hard to find a seat. read more

Nest - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Orono, Maine

Stopped in at Nest yesterday morning, appears to be a popular spot with locals. The service was friendly and the cashier topped off my coffee while I was leaving, which was much appreciated. I purchased an açaí bowl which was fantastic! It was however more expensive than I thought it should be, $8.50 before tax. They might charge this much because of the process it takes to make the bowl. The coffee was fine but not distinct. Lastly, I think they could use some art on the walls or more decor. It is a nice space, but would benefit from some finishing touches. read more

My brutal honesty, this place is so cute! I'm obsessed, trendy and the food is good. I had a lemon poppy muffin and the chocolate PB bowl, both amazing. Was skeptical about the muffin because are they made in house? These are so I grabbed one. This is a must come to establishment. read more

I'm so happy that Nest is on Orono! The area desperately needed a nice coffee shop and this one is so adorable. I loved the atmosphere, it has a nice, fresh feel. The coffee was very good. I will definitely be a frequent customer. read more

Nest - Latte, Nest Mix and blueberry muffin - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Orono, Maine

Decent place for a quick bite. It's a small, homey diner and the staff was very friendly. The menu was underwhelming and the food reciprocated that. Not that it wasn't good, just wasn't anything special (and a bit pricey for what it is). Overall, it's a friendly atmosphere and a nice place to sit and mingle over a cup of coffee and a sandwich, but if you're looking for hidden gems or outstanding breakfasts or brunch, take your money elsewhere. read more

I asked for no granola on my smoothie bowl because I have celiac and the lady made it with granola. I asked if the granola was gluten free hoping to not be difficult and without checking the package the lady said it was confidently. I have determined she just didn't want to make me another one because later that day I had some brutal colon issues if you catch my drift. Overall peeved at the service but the smoothie bowl was a solid 7/10. Not worth the discomfort tho. read more

Cute coffee shop in downtown Orono, good place to stop and get work done. Solid bakery & food selection as well, that doesn't turn it into a cafe more than a coffee shop. The hours are a little short, 8-4, but other than that, it's super quaint and exactly what you want to find in a downtown coffee shop. Plus, they run a special currently for $2.50 iced lattes after 12pm, so win. read more

This place has bomb smoothies and food but holy eff do they hate answering there phones! Gotta be better at multi-tasking cause no one will give you business if you don't answer your damn phones!!!!! read more

I could live off the iced Thai tea here! I had never had it before but it's the perfect blend of sweet and spicy without being as heavy as a coffee drink is. Very unique flavor, and I've tried it at other coffee shops and have concluded the Nest is the best. It's also an amazing orange color so if you're into aesthetic coffee shop Instagram pictures, you gotta order the Thai tea! Overall, the Nest is a cute little coffee shop with a great atmosphere; I come here all the time to do homework and study. It's very cozy and friendly (bench seats with big pillows are a huge plus) so I'm always 10x more productive here than at home. The owner is the nicest guy and very friendly and welcoming. read more

The cutest little coffee shop owned by the sweetest guy. Everything on the menu as far as drinks were amazing. A good study spot or coffee date spot. Nestled right in the heart of a college town, this place is perfect for a study break away from school. read more

Go-to for healthy food in the area. Loved the smoothie bowls. Coffee is great too. They have a lot of options.
