    I got a vanilla matcha latte and it was pretty good. The ambiance was nice too. However the baristas weren't very welcoming and hardly said a word to us

    This is absolutely someone's favorite "neigh"borhod coffee shop! Proudly queer, woman owned, and community-minded, Second Rodeo Coffee located in Ferry Village serves up coffee, espresso-based beverages, teas, made-to-order breakfast sandwiches, and more. Things I love: + The space. It's so much bigger than you think it is from the outside! It's warm and whimsical, and there are seating styles for everyone. Comfy chairs and couches, tables, barstools at the wall, a built-in booth area with loads of pillows, even mini desk-like areas. It doesn't matter if you're working, reading, catching up with friends, or having a meeting, there is a spot for you! + The staff. So friendly, so genuine, so patient, so welcoming! As my fellow Yelper Amaury J wrote, "no pretentious, stuffy coffee shop energy here". + The Avocado Toast. Now, admittedly, I've never had it. But I've seen a few people get it and every time I want to be *that person* who asks if I can take a photo of it because WOW does it seem generous in size! Things I'm underwhelmed by: - I wish they were using a local coffee roaster instead of Vivid Coffee from Vermont. Segue... - The iced coffee and iced lattes are, as my fellow Yelper Aitana B wrote, "not my favorite in the area". In my experience, the iced coffee has seemed watered down somehow; the iced lattes have been very milky (I'd never seen a latte so pale before). - A dollar upcharge on oat milk/only oat milk available. I like this place! It's not my favorite in the area, but I can totally see why it might be yours.

    Visited for the first time today with a friend after a morning run. I hadn't heard of this place yet, so I obviously had to come see it! There was a cold water plunge event nearby, so lots of people visited here after the event. 1. Ambiance - beautiful, whimsical, bright! Think pink pony club but a soft cafe version. I love the art, and the pastel decoration. Lots of natural lighting and seating indoors. 2. Food - They make creative sandwiches, but we split a pastry for a late breakfast. We got it warmed up and it was a tasty treat. 3. Drinks - Both of us got matcha lattes. Not my favorite matcha in the area. The were pretty clumpy, so we didn't finish the bottom portion of the drink. Top part was nice! It's only fair that I come back to try coffee since that's what they're focused on. Overall I liked this place. I'll probably come back just to sit and read or grab a latte to walk on the greenway with. I hope the matcha lattes improve, but everyone else seemed really happy with their coffees so I'll try that next time.

    This place is everything. Come for the coffee and food, stay for the whimsical, cozy vibe that just pulls you in. Neighborhood coffee shops always have my heart, and Second Rodeo Coffee is no exception. I could've easily spent the entire day there, book in hand, sipping on their delicious coffee. The staff was so warm and welcoming from the moment I walked in -- no pretentious, stuffy coffee shop energy here. The seating options were amazing, with everything from couches to benches to tables, making it so easy (too easy?) to settle in and get comfortable. The coffee was fantastic. The food was delicious. I had the breakfast egg sandwich with waffles as the bread (yes, waffles!), and I'm already plotting my return for another. What a great addition to South Portland!

    Looooooved Second Rodeo. Amazing, cowgirl-themed decor, women and queer owned, great vibes. Friendly staff. A super thoughtful space with a small but mighty menu. I might avoid the nondairy milk next time, but other than that, I was wowed by this coffee shop! Incredibly homey and utterly cool. What a gem in SoPo!

They advertise themselves as all day cafe/bar and market. The vibes were perfect with an overall cozy and welcoming feel. It seemed like a spot many regulars come to often as the workers appeared to know many people who came through! They have a bar with roughly 8 seats, along with some tables. With the back of the store having goodies to buy including candles, self-care items, wines, drinks, and more. Worth browsing before or after your drinks and food. We snagged two bar stools and were immediately greeted and served water along with a menu. All three staff members were friendly and made us feel welcome. Drink wise my wife got an iced mocha while I saw their drink special of the month on social media and had to try it. Named The Blue Rose with Butterfly pea flower, cardamom rose, whole milk, pebble ice and espresso on top. A photo-worthy beverage with a delicious flavor. I would keep coming back for this drink for sure if it were a permanent menu item! Food wise my wife and I both got a breakfast sandwich, only difference she got bacon while I got the impossible sausage. Well made and delicious sandwiches that would make us return as well. I do wish they would have been a little bigger though. If our visit today was any indication of the typical my wife and I would gladly return! Friendly service in a great setting with well made food and drinks. Need to return to give their cocktails a try! A standout space in Portland.

It made me want to work there. I sat at the bar. It's a narrow building, seating is friendly. I had a cortado and a toast with beans and eggs, it was divine.

She is a book lover and we both love our coffees and cocktails. This is a spot that offers all of that and is a third space I think that has been popular and will in general be missed. We even visited during their opening day back in December 2023. They will be closing their doors on April 17th 2026. I will say that due to them getting their books from a local used bookstore they do not have the latest and greatest selection of books that you'd expect if they were a bookstore. I have not had complaints during any of our visits here. I have enjoyed their coffee as well as their chai lattes along with enjoyed all the cocktails I have tried. I have especially enjoyed the espresso martinis and have liked the fact you could in fact get the coffee drinks and cocktails any time of their hours opened. During the majority of their time open they would offer specialty espresso martinis as well. Some of my favorite cities to visit have many coffee cafe meets cocktail bar and is a concept I wish were more popular in Portland. It is a difficult time currently for all and any local business so with yet another closing I encourage you to support your favorite places when and how you can! Cheers to Novel and thanks for the space you offered to locals and visitors!

    Not a big drinker, but whenever my friends ask me to go to Novel, I can't resist! Delicious drinks,…read moregreat reads- there's always something here to keep me entertained!

I first heard…read moreabout Navis Café while attending a yelp elite event at Thames Landing, which is located directly next-door which also has the same owners, the Roy's. My husband and I love Thames Landing, so why not try breakfast and lunch! Located on the waterfront in downtown Portland, they have a nice view of the walkway, railway, and the ocean Gateway. Parking is either on street or in the conveniently located parking area next to the building. I ordered the breakfast sandwich of bacon, egg, and cheese on and everything bagel. Bagel was nicely toasted not overly chewy, cheddar, egg, and bacon well balanced. I ate it so fast I forgot to take a picture! For lunch, I ordered their Bow sandwich which consisted of sliced smoked turkey, cheddar, bacon, greens, and red onion with a chipotle mayo, which I substituted for regular. They give you multiple choices of bread, I chose a wrap, which they kindly cut in half. I found this to be very delicious, the turkey the cheese to be well balanced with the greens making it very refreshing with each bite. I did take a picture of this! I enjoyed my lunch with some kombucha, which also was very refreshing. My hope is that my husband and I will go for breakfast this weekend when I can go out and experience the atmosphere and where I can take more photos.

The service was nice, prompt, and the prices were reasonable, which we appreciated. We're from New York, so we're definitely used to top-tier bagels. That said--considering this was a bagel from Maine--it was pretty A-okay, lol. Nothing mind-blowing, but solid enough for a casual breakfast. The cafe itself is really nice inside and seemed dog-friendly, which is always a plus. In the past, they've also had great pre-packaged dessert options from a local bakery. I didn't see anything that caught my eye this time around, but it's something I've enjoyed before. Overall, a pleasant stop with friendly service and a comfortable atmosphere--just manage expectations if you're a New York bagel snob like us.
