Second Rodeo Coffee is a quaint coffeehouse in South Portland, ME. They offer a nice selection of coffee and non-coffee drinks, as well as pastries and sandwiches. The staff work very quickly and efficiently, and have a friendly, accommodating demeanor. This is a great place to catch up with friends, work or just chill.

Avocado toast with egg and sausage and salty honey latte

Came in with my husband and kids for a late breakfast. The atmosphere was laid back and very comfortable, with plenty of eclectic seating to suit your needs. The pastries looked amazing, but we ordered the avocado toast with sausage and egg, as well as a cinny toast for our toddler. I also ordered a salty honey latte which was really good, and got a cherry almond latte to go. Overall the food was good, and I loved that all their waste is compostable. Best part? They even had several small kids tables with activities! Service was really fast, and there was almost no wait time!

Kicking off 2026 with my first review and my wife and I wanted to check out a new coffee spot to us. Second Rodeo had just posted their seasonal drink on social media as being Black Forest with chocolate and cherry that could my eye. Second Rodeo is women-owned and a very welcoming space so huge positives there. Like some others I was surprised by how large their space was. Seating options are also vast in what felt like they picked up a variety of vintage furniture along some normal tables/chairs. While most of it did not feel cohesion or of the same vibe I think it works extremely well for what they are going for. Workers were very friendly and did give an accurate estimate of our wait due to being busy which I appreciated. Drink wise they have most of the options you would expect a local shop to have now. My wife got the iced version of their Black Forest Latte. I went with an iced Peppermint Mocha Latte. Both drinks lacked the amount of flavor we expected and thought they were more watery than we had hoped. Due to this and being about half an hour away from us not sure how quickly we will return. If it were local to our area I suspect we would return often enough due to the welcoming and inviting vibes which I'm sure they have many local regulars. If we do return I'll give a hot drink a try in hopes of being better. Do visit this spot though to give them a fair try!

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.

Avocado toast with 2 eggs

This is one of my favorite cafes in the Portland area. It's very close to SMCC so it's easy to hang out there in between classes! The baristas are so friendly and funny, and as a queer person I feel right at home. The orange creamsicle syrup they have right now ROCKS in their iced tea. I got the avocado toast with two eggs, and I'm happy to report they were not shy on the seasoning! You'll be seeing me regularly. Happy pride!

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.

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 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!

The wait is long...but it's so worth it…read more Coffee- pricey, eh. Theres better coffee Loaded savory biscuit- oh my...one of the best things I've ever had. Incredibly flavorful. My boyfriend hates goat cheese but he loved this. The combo with the tomato jam is incredible. The biscuit was also one of the best I've ever had! Banana cake- flavor combos you wouldn't expect to go together...but are phenomenal. The sesame seeds, olive oil, cream cheese and banana bread are so good together. Might even change how I make my banana bread! Sticky bun- HUGE and delicious. We saved it for the next day and it was still so soft and yummy. Plenty of seating outside which is perfect after the long wait. Staff was super nice and helpful, made sure everything was packed up nicely in to go boxes. I'd come back again, but now that I know what we want I might just order online. It's a very long wait to get inside

I'm not trying to beat a dead horse, but these are the best biscuits in the world…read more Crunchy, soft, airy, moist, buttery... It's literally everything you'd ever want in a biscuit and to make matters worse, they do a sweet and savory option that really puts me over the edge. This weekend: tomato jam and goat cheese. These biscuits have to be on it a top 25 list of best things I've ever put in my mouth. It's really an incredible experience, even if you wait in that heinously long line. But, you don't have to wait in line. Wake up by 745 and place your order online you can order any of the baked goods or breakfast sandwiches, along with drip and cold brew coffee. They will keep your biscuit sandwiches hot, store your pastries for you, and they don't pour your coffee until you arrive for pick up. So you can order at 7:45 in the morning and pick up at 1 PM if you really wanted. It's as good as they say, and you must make a point of visiting when you're in Portland!

Smalls came highly recommend, but unfortunately I didn't have the most amazing experience…read more The inside is SUPER cute. If I were to come back here I would opt to just get coffee rather than food OR I'd come for a glass of wine because I did like the vibe on the inside. However, the breakfast sandwich was rather disappointing and our service was VERY slow. I ordered a coffee about half way through my meal and had to leave without it because it was taking too long.

My wife and I are attempting to check out any and all coffee places we can and Smalls was our stop…read moretoday on an early Spring Sunday morning. 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.

This is a really cute little coffee shop/diner in the middle of a residential neighborhood not far…read morefrom the Portland Head Light. We decided to come here for coffee and snacks before heading to the park for the morning with our toddler. We arrived around 9:30am and must've gotten lucky bc we walked right up to the bar and were helped by a super friendly gal and ordered coffees, a few pastries from their display case (I got a huge chocolate chip cookie cup stuffed with Nutella for later) and my husband ordered the Pastrami on Rye sandwich to go. We sat and waited about 15 minutes and watched the crowd grow as about 20 people came into order to go drinks and snacks and a few chose to sit at the patio tables out front for dine in. By the time we left they were warning folks that the kitchen was taking about 45 minutes for food bc of so many orders at once and take out. It's charming inside, with a large bar area with about 15 bar seats, and a few small tables. Cute decor on the walls all Duck-themed and friendly staff who were really bustling. Of note: the Pastrami sandwich my husband ordered was AMAZING. One of the top ones he's had and he orders them everywhere. The pastrami was hot and fresh and the rye was perfectly toasted. My 2-year old loved it. Ha! They have a nice menu of food items inside - with sandwiches, specials, and lunch/dinner options it looked like. I'd love to come back and have more time to chill, enjoy the vibes on a slow afternoon, and order some food.
