The cafe is a quaint and collectic location that has instruments, posters, and a surf board for decor with hip vibe. Open space with chill lighting, artisan market products for sale (candles, honey sugar scrubs, and hand crafted pottery). The interior is clean and well taken care of. For drinks we ordered the Hot Latte and 'A Love Supreme' smoothie and a turkey panini and a BBQ chicken panini for lunch. The food was fresh and delicious. The service staff was well spoken and happy to help. Food delivery was prompt and the food was freshly hand crafted. read more

Such a fun little spot in Lewiston. It's got that great cafe feel but offers more than "just" a cafe with selections of coffee beverages, smoothies, breakfast and lunch options, and a specialization in burritos. Everyone I've had the pleasure of interesting with at this establishment has been kind and helpful. A few of the food items I've tried have lacked slightly in flavor from time to time but when you throw some of their homemade hot sauce on there, it brings it all together. A side of chips and salsa with the burritos is also a fantastic touch. read more

Awesome place! Great selection of drinks (coffee, bottled sodas and tea) and good, fresh food. Super delicious baked goods as well. I ordered the sweet potato burrito-it was seasoned just right and really hit the spot! The dining area is super cozy and intimate feeling but gives a good amount of space between tables so you have room. Cool art, instruments and band posters, too (love the massive Sonic Youth poster in the bathroom). Staff is super friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again! read more

My first reaction was: "How did I not know about this place?!" Guthries is a vegetarian/vegan friendly breakfast and lunch cafe that also hosts local musicians and has been in Lewiston for over 15 years! We had been car shopping in the L/A area on possibly the hottest, most humid day of the year and decided to stop in for some lunch. I was thrilled to see gazpacho listed as the soup of the day and ordered the "Take 2", gazpacho and a 10" sweet potato burrito. The gazpacho was cool and so refreshing: possibly a watermelon and tomato base with a hint of strawberry and rhubarb. It was the perfect combination of sweetness and a little spice. The sweet potato burrito was warmed on the panini press and had small crunches of bell pepper and was served with homemade salsa, just delicious. We had a couple of chocolate/orange donuts for dessert which were made in the morning: fresh and the ganache was thick and chocolatey, with just a hint of orange flavor. We enjoyed checking out the Woody and Arlo Guthry memorabilia as well as the local art for sale while we waited for our order. We enjoyed everything about Guthries and hope to be back soon! read more

First time customer. The food, service and atmosphere was delightful. I had the chicken quesadillas on gluten free wrap. Unbelievable! Can't wait to try a panini next time. Highly recommend!!!!! read more

Guthries is hands down the cutest little nook in Lewiston! The vibe is speakeasy meets craft lunch and I am HERE FOR IT. They have a soft spot for vegetarian/vegan options without sacrificing the flavor, ask for their homemade hot sauce, you won't regret it. Everything is very fresh & made to order, and the baked goods are out of this world delicious but usually fly out the door long before lunch time, fair but sad for the late riser like me, lol Everyone that works at Guthries is kind and funny and friendly, 100/10 recommend. read more

Guthries is my go to vegetarian lunch spot across from CMMC in Lewiston. For several years now, the food has been consistently fresh, delicious and healthy. The smoothies are so filling, some really can be considered dessert. Eat in if you have time to relax and soak in the positive music vibes in this cozy eclectic brick walled cafe where folkies Woody and Arlo Guthrie are featured alongside Jazz legend Miles Davis. Take out is popular with hospital staff on their lunch breaks. So glad to know I can count on healthy creative flavor filled menu options right across from CMMC. Yeah, I guess you could say, I love Guthries! Peace. read more

If you're looking for absolutely amazingly delicious food and even friendlier service, then look no further. " "Guthries" brings a unique food experience offering items like vegetarian burritos w/ spinach and pineapples, and adding sweet potatoes to quesadillas & burritos. My favorite go-to is the Sweet Potato Quesadilla (sweet potatoes, cheese, tomato, black beans). That's served with a side of chips and salsa/pico. The owners are rooted in the community and focus on sustainable options and supporting other local business within their own business. I highly recommend you visit! read more

Food was tasty but small portion. Service was good. We dined in. I asked if they used disposable plates and cups and utensils and was told no. Our food came in a reusable bowl but our drinks came in plastic cups. I was disappointed. I asked a staff person if they recycled the plastic cups - no! IMO, plastic should only be used for take out. If dining in, washable cups should be used. read more

The BEST chicken quesadilla (w/bbq sauce). Delicious! And the spicy corn chowder was amazing. Nourishing, healthy place with great owner/staff. read more

Very good vegan options. Cute environment. Nice selection of baked goods and meals. Service good.

Nice little hole in the wall place with great food and great prices. Would recommend eating there. Just one downfall is that there is not a lot of seating. Serves breakfast and lunch. read more

Was visiting Maine and I've been ordering from the same spot each time I stay in Auburn and wanted a change. Went on Uber eats and found this gem of a spot!

Can't wait to order this spot again! Thank you! read more

She Doesn't Like Guthries - a sandwich and chips - New American Near Me - Lewiston, Maine

Not as flavorful as I hoped. Even though the burrito was hefty in size, I just didn't feel like the flavor was anywhere to be found. I added tons of their homemade hot sauce (which was not that hot at all) to try to kick it up a notch. My fiancé said his pulled pork burrito was ok but nothing he would order again. Their salsa unfortunately tasted like watery tomatoes. Very sad since the colorful chips were pretty decent. I was really looking forward to this since I had been told to come here years ago. Maybe I missed the flavor train on this place. read more

Didn't really know what to expect. The reviews are mixed. You order at the counter and they bring you your food. No issues. They have one red blend and one white for wines. The red was just ok. My tacos came and the plate was pretty. I ordered the chicken. Sooo dried out. No sauce. I slathered it with siracha and let the staff know. They gave me a gift card. My husband liked his veggie burrito and the nachos were good. We will be back. read more

Grilled cheese was super delectable. The service was outstanding. I would definitely recommend eating there.

Yummy healthy food options! Feels home cooked and authentic. This will always been my lunch spot when I'm in Lewiston.

This hippie styled, vegan inspired restaurant has great food for all dietary preferences. The service was good, friendly with a smile. They even let me sample the soup before committing to a bowl. The soups change regularly, as do some of the specialty drinks. They even have desserts. While the food and drinks were great, the prices weren't. It is hard to agree to pay 15 bucks for a sandwich. They have fresh brewed teas, of their own blend as well as traditional, served hot or cold. I tried the gutheries blend and while it was good with nice flavor combination, I would have preferred a stronger brew. There are lots of coffee drinks, including espresso. There are blended smoothies is delicious flavors such as PB&J or pineapple kale. They have main root sodas and even bottled pepsi. I ordered the bbq chicken Panini, which was wonderful. Tender bbq chicken, shredded and served toasted on wheat bread with melty provolone, tomato and lettuce and served with a pickle. The coconut curry carrot soup with barley was bowl licking good, with a delightful medley of flavors. They served half sandwich of your choice with a bowl of soup. The pulled pork quesadilla was filling and savory with delicious bbq pork. This was served with chips salsa and sour cream. The salsa was lacking any flavor or hint of heat, but was definitely fresh tasting. read more

I love this place. Everything (I believe) on their menu can be made gluten free. (Their gluten free bread is amazing!) They offer combos to get 2 of your choice of quesadillas, soups, salads, sandwiches, etc... it's the perfect lunch spot. With that being said, this place gets super busy during the work week around lunch time, so make sure you have longer than 30 minutes to spare. read more

On our way to Quebec via 201, our bellies started growling and we knew it was about time to find a lunch spot. I pulled up my trusty Yelp app, and immediately homed in on Guthrie's. It was dead quiet when we wound our way through downtown Lewiston and similarly quiet when we entered the restaurant. There were two tables of patrons, which initially gave me pause, but I was wooed by the three very welcoming staff members and the decidedly Santa Cruz, CA/college town vibe of the place. Lots of dark wood, local beers, chalkboards advertising their "micro-cinema" Maine-related film series, and the Cure playing on the sound system. My husband ordered the oft-mentioned sweet potato burrito while I opted for the chicken salad sandwich. We split our plates so that we could sample both. His burrito was good, although it suffered from hasty burrito-making as indicated by the clumps of cheese in one bite followed by beans in another and sweet potato in the third bite. The salsa they paired with it was incredibly mild (we're not in Texas anymore!) but bright and fresh-tasting. My chicken salad with cranberries was delicious. It was served on a local bakery's multi-grain bread that was lightly toasted. Yum...I could go for another sammie right about now. If I ever find myself taking the looong way to Quebec City again, I would return to Guthrie's for a healthy meal, fresh ingredients, a cozy, casual vibe, and friendly service. It certainly beats the fast food regret that can befall you on a road trip after a stop at DQ makes you question both your judgment and digestive abilities. read more

While the food is fresh and the staff friendly, the food is bland. I rarely have to salt my food, but this was in dire need. I had the tofu Fiesta Bowl, and frankly, it is missing the party altogether as the Latin elements were missing and the tofu overly sweet. read more

Love! Wow, I love it here. The scene, the ambiance, the staff. Wow. 5 out of 5 stars, no doubt. I always come here when visiting Maine. Heather and Randy rule and have created the best, coolest, and delicious environment in Lewiston. They are stars!! read more

They say never start a marketing premise with a negative, but in this case She Doesn't Like Guthries catches your attention, as will the restaurant itself. It's a funky kitschy 60s throwback with decoupage-clad picnic tables, Woodstock-worthy wood paneling, a few folk albums and some music kitsch on the walls are all part of its charm. The food is excellent, a mix of mexican, sandwiches, vegetarian and vegan. The shredded pork burrito will go mano-a-mano with the sweet potato burrito. They also have great local brew sodas and beers, including a blueberry soda that was amazing. The service is super friendly, and parking is not too bad outside with street and big lots nearby. One of the Yelp-worthy quirky fun eateries that you Yelpers traveling here and there crave, and a cool place on Fridays I hear for locals, when they have live music. Oh? The story... The owners were trying to figure out the name. He liked Guthries. She didn't. The rest is history... read more

Eclectic, Delicious, Hidden away all come to mind after a first visit here with a Bates resident. Great menu full of burritos, quesadillas, and paninis! We tried a BBQ chicken quesadilla and a turkey/avocado/provolone/pesto panini. Both slowed down conversation as we were enjoying our food. If you love Coffee by Design, you can get it here. Cool ambiance. An area with large leather stuffed seating, a group of picnic benches to hold a large crowd, and smaller 4 tops and 2 tops. No waitress service, but it really wasn't missed. read more

Great, great, great! BBQ Chicken quesadilla is fantastic! I keep coming back! So far, after several visits, I haven't had a bad experience at Gutherie's. The crew do a great job of creating the meals in a manner that is both tasty and visually appealing. I am hoping to come back some Friday night for the live music they host. This is just the type of small, intimate places that give the best listening experience. A gem in the heart of Lewiston! read more

Went to Guthrie's for a comedy show. They only had 2 beers on draft (I believe one was Baxter and the other Bud Light), the red wine was very warm as if it had been sitting near something producing heat. The food was okay, lots of options. The chicken salad sandwich was great. I should have gotten a whole one. The space is big and comfortable, I think this place has a lot of potential. I'd give it another shot during lunch. read more

I love the vibe of this place!! Came to Lewiston to visit Bates with my family and went here for lunch beforehand. It's super trendy, the food is great, and there are plenty of healthy options, as well as vegetarian and vegan options. By the way, the Out To Lunch! smoothie is a must-try. I was kinda nervous about the idea of it, but you actually can't taste the veggies at all and it's amazing!!! If I end up going to Bates, I definitely see this becoming my go-to restaurant. read more

She Doesn't Like Guthries - Out To Lunch! Smoothie - New American Near Me - Lewiston, Maine

Great place to eat! Really healthy and incredibly tasty options! If you are considering it, DO it! You will want to go back again and again!

If only I could give 3.5 stars. We really like the food at Guthries. It is healthy and very tasty, with interesting combinations. We go there frequently and never run out of options. The way Guthries works is that you order at the counter, they bring your food, and then you bus your table yourself. Very easy. If there is a crowd the food can be a little slow. They always have a good beer selection, but their wine selection is terrible. read more

An oasis in the area for delicious and healthy food. I always stop here when I can and I wish I could be there more often. Great staff ! Thank you for the great meals and look forward to more! read more

I really want to like this place but it was a bit underwhelming. I should preface by saying that I am familiar with vegan/vegetarian foods having made many in my lifetime and basically raised in a natural food store embracing the farm to table movement. So, when I say that the food leaves something to be desired, it is not because I am unfamiliar with the cuisine. The menu has a little bit of something "mexican" inspired for everyone from sandwiches to burritos, nachos to tacos and quesadillas. However, the food felt like it was lacking in flavor or spice. My husband had the Vegan Grilled Burrito which is an assortment of veggies and fillings and was decent sized. He said it was void of spice (aside from whole raw jalapenos) and there was nothing cohesive bringing everything together. I had the pulled pork quesadilla with sweet potato and there was something odd about the taste. Almost like a canned yam taste... It actually reminded me of packaged BBQ jackfruit but it was hard to over come. Our girls had items from the kids menu: one had the 2 taco dinner and the other PB&J. The tacos looked okay and she seemed happy with them but the sandwich was on what seemed like dry, day-old sour dough with the crust cut off so it was the size of a deck of cards. I would have given more stars because the setting is nice (aside from music that sounds like a wailing funeral procession) with amble seating and beautiful artwork. It is actually like if a Grateful Dead Shop sold burritos. However, I would not classify their staff as welcoming as their sign claims. We walked in and the staff just stared or appeared to avoid interacting with us. We finally had to ask if we had to seat ourselves because we'd never been there. No offering to review their menu or specials and the general attitude was not as bright and cheery as their clothes may suggest. I may be willing to try it again as take out only because I think supporting small non-chain businesses is important but it won't be anything that I will rave about at the moment... read more

Very very rude customer service at this place. Last time I was in the place needed a good cleaning. Expensive!!!

I don't give out five stars undeservedly. If you wanna' earn my praise, then deliver something unique, provide value, and give me multiple reasons for coming back. SDLG's makes the grade on all of these. I discovered Guthrie's by accident--a board I served on as a volunteer ordered food one night from this unique Lewiston eatery. In looking over the menu, I was amazed that a place like this existed in "the dirty Lew." Since then, I've met friends, business colleagues, and others there for coffee, lunch, and occasionally, a beer. Last night, after going to oh-so-ordinary Gritty's for beers after work for a co-worker who is moving on, I asked my wife if she wanted to grab a bite to eat before we headed back to the compound for the evening. I suggested Guthrie's and since she'd never been, and heard me rave about the burritos in the past, she gave it an enthusiastic endorsement. For a Friday night around 7:00, it was not particularly busy. Good for us, but a concern about where Lewiston's restaurant patron's sentiments lie. The food was wonderful, again. My wife had The Bella, an ample panini with spinach, swiss cheese, tomato, portabella mushrooms, roasted red pepper pesto, and a delightful balsamic vinaigrette. I had the sweet potato burrito. If you've never had sweet potato in a burrito, then you'll be blown away with this robust combo of my favorite starch, beans, tomato and cheese. The homemade tortilla chips and delectable salsa are a nice touch. With a couple of beers each and tax, we were just barely over $30 for the two of us. As mentioned in previous reviews, this is a unique establishment for Lewiston. I'm a sucker for exposed brick, and the intimate nature of the space, not to mention co-owner Randy Letourneau's great music selection that's always on the speakers and this becomes a must visit for anyone local, or patrons from away that value locally-owned businesses with a social-conscience that consistently deliver on the goods. I'm issuing a shout out to some of my Portland peeps with a penchant for the parochial to jump in their cars occasionally and leave the peninsula for points north, like She Doesn't Like Guthrie's, particularly on a Friday or Saturday night when Randy brings in another great artist playing folk, jazz, or some kickass rock n' roll. read more

I have been to Guthries many times. It has always been very good, and as a vegan it is one of the few places in the Lewiston area where I feel comfortable eating. I love the atmosphere here. It just feels right for a break from an office type setting to step into for lunch and relax. Prices are very reasonable and the portions are ideal. The menu is fun and has many great options. Best of all, it's healthy eating. If you've had enough of all the grease that permeates a lot of eateries in the area, definitely give Guthries a chance if you haven't yet. read more

This place epitomizes why Yelp is so great. Was on a road trip up through Maine and we were dying of hunger, we wanted to grab something quick before continuing on north. Two problems: 1) It was the night before Thanksgiving 2) A snowstorm had just come thru during the day and there was tons of snow on the ground. Most places were closed up for the night, but we gave Guthries a call and they were still open. The place was completely empty when we got there, save the bartender and a guy in the kitchen. We were a little wary at first, but then I heard the old Bowie "Life on Mars?" track and I knew we were in a good spot. It was confirmed when the menu had an item named after a Pixies track. Ummmmmmmm, AWESOME! We sat at the bar and ordered two of their burritos -- one sweet potato and one pulled pork, both were delicious. I *highly* recommend grabbing the green sauce from the shelf at the back of the restaurant. They make it themselves and it gives the burritos the perfect kick. I just wish we could've been there when the place was hopping and able to see some live music to boot. That would've made it perfect. THANK YOU GUTHRIES FOR SAVING US FROM STARVATION ON A COLD WINTER NIGHT (and thanks to yelp for helping us find it :) read more

I'll keep it short - this is the finest place to eat in the Twin Cities. Great, intimate atmosphere. Very good selection of local beers. There are some great options of food and it is DELICIOUS. Best of all it's owned by an awesome couple from Lewiston who are, along with everyone else who works there, incredibly friendly. In general this is exactly the kind of place Lewistonians should be supporting. If you are looking for vegetarian options in town, this is the place to go. But that's not to deter the meat-eaters among us. There are plenty of options for us here. read more

Enjoy the vegan menu. I love all the entertainment they have lined up. They have really great sandwiches and homemade soup. I definitely would recommend trying them even if it's just for coffee with a friend. read more

FIFTY CENT PBRs ON THURSDAYS, PEOPLE!! Just bring your own koozie (no, really). Need I say more?? Thank effing God Guthrie's opened in Lewiston. I grew up here, lived here for 17 years of my life, and was bored and dispondent for almost all of those 17 years. When I moved away, I was happy to be away from the dirty Lew, but with places like Guthrie's popping up, well, vague (and fleeting) thoughts about returning home more often pop into my head. Guthrie's has a great atmosphere, relaxed, but a bit classier than anything else in Lewiston (outside of the new five star restaurants) - exposed brick interior with a (very) small bar and nice, casual seating. They also have a bin with free stickers and pins, of which I gladly partook. I mostly hung out outside, on the (very) small sidewalk patio. The thing I wish for Guthrie's is a larger patio and a larger bar - but otherwise, I have no no no complaints. How can you possibly complain when your beer costs FIFTY CENTS?! The food that I saw people eating looked excellent, but I didn't actually try anything. One of my friends had the fiesta bowl (basically, a burrito without a tortilla), and another had a quesadilla - everything looked fresh and yummy. Apparently, also, Guthrie's is one of the only restaurants in Maine to have a neutral carbon footprint - meaning they actually care about the environmental sustainability of the food and the establishment. Way to go, Guthrie's! Also interesting was the mix of people - Lewiston kids, businessmen, college students, etc. Love it. I wanna go back and get a t-shirt! Seriously, Lewiston, it's about time. Guthrie's has arrived. read more

Yup, it;s good! The Sweet Potato Burrito is realllllly good. Fresh, complex flavors, filling, but more of a wrap than burrito. The salsa tastes like a fresh tomtao salsa with a strong tomato flavor with minimal seasoning. While I prefer a more seasoned salsa, it is light and refreshing. I'm definitely hooked and have been supplying my coworkes with lunch from "......Guthries" for a few weeks now. A nice surprise in this city. read more

My boyfriend and I discovered this place completely on accident. We're not very familiar with Lewiston and were driving around the downtown area one early evening looking for someplace to eat. The boyfriend had mentioned earlier that he was in the mood for some kind of Mexican food... and when we turned onto a side street to turn around or something, I noticed a sign on the side of a building saying they had burritos and quesadillas. So we decided to chance it, and we're glad we did! Mind, I've only had the slow cooked pulled pork quesadilla, but I was INCREDIBLY impressed with it. Probably the best quesadilla I've ever had. Even writing about it now makes me want to go back and get one, lol. Aside from the burritos and quesadillas, they also have paninis and some snacky kind of stuff (i.e. tortilla chips and salsa or hummus). There is a variety of unique stuff they put in the burritos and quesadillas--I'm really curious about the sweet potato ones!--and the menu is very vegetarian friendly. Live music on weekend nights... there is also alcohol (beer and wine) available, but I'm not educated enough on the subject to speak on the variety/quality of such. ;) The most notable to me is that Thursdays are $.50 PBR can nights if you bring along a can koozie. Cool. A good find. I will keep coming back. read more
