This isn't the only place in Vinalhaven that serves coffee, but it's definitely the best coffee on…read morethe island (no offense to any of the other fine establishments). Their cold brew is fantastic on a warm morning leading into a hot day, and their croissants are flaky and perfect. The chocolate ones are especially good. They also have a dark chocolate brownie that's positively decadent. I can't speak for their sandwiches, sadly, or the delicious confections on display every day at the counter, piled high with Maine blueberries...but I will say that everything in there was clearly made fresh daily, and looked...well, good enough to eat. They even had a basket marked "yesterday's baking" for discounted goods from the day before, displaying both their dedication to supplying fresh bread every morning and that wonderful waste-not, want-not island economy. There's also a small counter of meats and cheeses, some wine, oils, and preserves on shelves near the back of the store, and a beautiful display of vintage teacups along the wall opposite the counter. The teacups are $20 each and come with a cup of tea, and after a week of popping in for my morning coffee I couldn't resist. I am now the proud owner of a beautiful vintage teacup. The barista wrapped it up for me snuggly enough that it made the journey back home without a scratch, even in a car full of nonsense and two sunbaked millennials. Now I'm back in Boston, where there's a coffee shop on every corner...but to be honest, none of the cold brews I've had here quite compare to Downstreet Market's.

I came to the island for one day last week during our 4 day trip to Maine. I saw the sign for a…read more"zap frap" so got excited and I told my friend i would get us two - my treat. When I walked in I saw that there were pies on the counter and our group (outside) had not tried a Maine Blueberry pie yet so I figured I'd order two slices as a surprise. I walked up to the counter where there was a young girl standing there who wouldn't even say anything to me. I was right in front of her at the counter and she had seen me. I spoke to get her attention and she said, "oh are you here for..(I didn't hear the rest but it was something she was expecting or someone coming)" I said "no, I'd like to order, where do I order?" (Since it had been a decent amount of time of her being aware I was there standing in front of her counter and her doing nothing). Nobody else was in the store except my friend, my child and I. She said, "you order with me". I said, "Ok, I'd like two zap frap's and two slices of blueberry pie please". She paused and said, "just a moment." She walked away, into the back, as if something was odd. She came back with a woman who said, "can I help you?". I said, "yes I'd like to order two zap fraps and two slices of blueberry pie". She paused, rudely looked at me and told a guy, "go ahead and get it for her". I was the only one standing at the counter. Behind me was my friend. I felt very odd by the interaction and I can't adequately put it into words. It was beyond rude, almost like a hateful kind of rude. I didn't know what it was but it felt like something was wrong with me being in there. I am Asian with tattoos and a biracial child. I have manners.. My friend who is Caucasian (relevant to the story) was sitting down at the table watching the whole thing said, " it appears you just got discriminated against." I said, "I felt exactly that way but didn't want to say that in case i was wrong!!!" Of course we don't know that, but something was off. My child had to use the bathroom. I handed my friend my card and asked him to pay with it so I could take my child to the bathroom. When I came out my friend told me I had paid over $27. $27 and change for two frappacinos and two slices of pie. The pie and frappacinos were excellent, don't get me wrong. It was the interaction that was completely weary and if not discrimination, beyond rude. I do agree with my friend that there was something else happening. Even if it wasn't discrimination- at a very low level of expectations- what happened to customer service? What happened to, "hi, can I help you?", and then to charge me $27 for it? I don't care how good the food is, I would never go to this place again.

Definitely recommend this place if you're in the area!

Was really surprised by this little cafe tucked in by the hotel! My friend and I were looking for a…read morequick place to grab a drink and some treats, and found this place. Suffice to say, it was way better than we expected. My friend got the Pink Owl and a cinnamon roll and I got a pumpkin spice latte and a pumpkin crumb cake. Both pastries were phenomenal: soft, just the right amount of sweetness, great flavor. The Pink Owl was a refreshing drink that was just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the green tea (if you like sweeter drinks, it may not be for you). The only reason I didn't give this place five stars is the pumpkin spice latte was disappointing. Didn't really taste like pumpkin and seemed watered down.

I'm not one to publicly complain,but we went out of our way to come here specially for iced coffees…read moreand had the opposite experience vs.high expectations. Given that it was 2pm already,we ordered iced mochas (no.1 item listed on the menu) but it looks like the concept of what an iced mocha is is sorta different here. I didn't question what I received upon picking it up,but when we took them with us to enjoy at their mini patio (which was filthy btw,full of crumbles and I had to pick up our dog on my lap),it turned out that our iced mochas were cold brews with ice and chocolate syrup (for some reason flaky...). 2 stars for a lovely barista,but I wouldn't come back here-not for coffee,not for ambiance. Sorry..!

I have followed them on social media and have been wanting to bring my wife here due to her loving books. We came a little later in the day so the cafe will need to be a future visit. I love the fact they had it though and look forward to coming back. It's two levels with the second level being dedicated to kids books. My wife enjoyed our time here browsing the books. The shop is on the smaller side and during a busy day some of the areas may feel a bit congested. They did have a couple chairs around inside as well as a few small tables outside too. Due to the small size you may not find every new release or trendy book but overall it is such a cozy and inviting bookshop you must visit!
