Starbucks Cold Brew Coffee
Sokna H.

I've been coming here every morning before work, I'm normally happy with my drink but seems like these few times they made my drink wrong , the cold foam sinks down before I pick it up and it barely there, because I always ask for extra cold foam on top.

Haven't taken a drink yet...supposed to be a tall caramel macchiato.

This has got to be the dirtiest Starbucks I've ever been in. Sticky floor, dirty counters no hand washing in sight . While I was waiting for my coffees the barista wiped off the counters where they make the cold drinks with a dirty rag and wiped ice and debris on the floor! The counter where they put the finished drinks was dirty and had blobs of Frappuccino on it. There wasn't a clean spot. As I watched her make my drink I thought surely she'll hand it to me and not put it on the counter, I even held my hand out for it as she walked towards me...nope she put it right on the counter right in some white crap! Sigh, then when I got in my car and opened the lid of my $5 caramel hot coffee it was half full!

I always pass by every single day and there are always long lines. I was in need of a serious pick me up and decided to stop by. The reviews almost prevented me from stopping by but i decided to try anyway. All Starbucks Coffee is the same, the difference is in its service. I went through the drive thru. It was not long at all. From ordering to getting much drink was about five minutes which is probably the fastest service I have ever had at a Starbucks.

Yummy goodness :)

I always do drive thru in the AM because it's easier and I'm on the go. Today, I walked in and I love love love how spacious and retro this location is. I'm impressed since it's fairly new to Scarborough, ME. I got my skinny chai and went for some oatmeal with blueberries, nuts, agave syrup, honey, and brown sugar. I know it's been on the menu for as long as I can remember, but it's really good. It fills you right up and it's very healthy!

“Only negative would be how annoying the parking can be to go inside, but the drive thru is efficient and somewhat easy to get in and out of.”

I will say this review is not factoring in food as we did not order any so maybe that's where they shine the brightest. Being located on Route 1 I suspect make them a popular spot for tourists to visit. Plenty of parking available which is a plus and they do have a drive thru too. The overall vibes inside are kinda your typical coffee shop that serves food. Nothing off putting but also nothing that sets them apart or makes it memorable. When we stepped inside the line for ordering was about just as far as it could stretch inside and we had an extremely long wait to place our order. The staff definitely seemed overwhelmed and an extra person or two would have went a long way. Drink wise we liked the sound of their specials but unfortunately they were out of blueberry flavoring so chocolate covered blueberry latte was not available. Very disappointing. My wife ended getting the Lemon Cookie Latte and I got the S'mores Latte. Both drinks were just kind of alright and lacked flavor as much as many other spots we have been to. The drinks were at least made quickly. Disappointing enough experience with so many coffee options in the area that we likely won't return.

The coffee is strong and flavorful, a big step up from chain spots, and fits perfectly with their hearty breakfast-and-lunch menu. The Turkey A.B.L.T. eats like an upgraded turkey club, with avocado, bacon, and a little smoky heat that makes it feel like a "real" café sandwich, not deli counter fare. The Chuck is a classic, hefty breakfast sandwich--simple, filling, and exactly what you want with a morning coffee. Service is friendly, portions are generous, and it's an ideal stop for locals or a pre‑beach bite. Best turkey sandwich ever!!!!!!! fresh cut off the bird fresh. wicked

Suffice it to say, what's the first stop after something like that: caffeine. "Somebody" just wanted to hit up the first Mermaid we could find, but I refused and found the first place on Yelp that popped up with "café" in the name and had more than a 3* rating and here we ended up. St. Joe's has been serving the Scarborough area for almost fifteen years (ca. 2012) and are known for their all-day breakfast, coffee, and their signature "Bennies" (aka Beignets). The Good: *Gluten-free options *Parking lot that wasn't huge, but ample enough for their space *Friendly service *Covered outdoor space to enjoy your goodies *We weren't particularly hungry but knew we had to try their Bennies--and they were 100% worth it. Unlike a traditional Beignet, these Bennies are little two-biters that are fried up fresh to order and the raspberry dipping sauce was a nice fresh foil to the fried goodness. The Meh: *Interior is cramped and not the place for the claustrophobic at heart. The Ugly: *Ordered a iced Dirty Pumpkin Spice Latte (might've actually been a double I'm a little fuzzy on that) and the flavor all-around was very muted on the chai, Pumpkin spice, and coffee. Tasted like a watery, slightly spicy tea. Not what I was looking for, but it got the job done. Fwiw, Carissa liked her drink (don't recall) so maybe just depends what you order? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Conclusion: Coffee might be hit or miss, but definitely get the Bennies!

The 'Holy Donut' feels like a 'must try' for foodies who live in, or visit, Maine. Famous for their…read morepotato donuts, the quality is absolutely reliable and excellent. They clearly use excellent ingredients, that really help prevent overly saccharine donuts. Their seasonal varieties provide a good number of new flavors to try. That said, their sweet donuts overshadow what I would argue is their best donut: the savory bacon cheddar! Their description of "ooey, gooey, cheesey and delicious" is spot on for this one. I also generally recommend the maple bacon, triple C (caramel, coconut, and chocolate), and trying one of the fruity holy canoli. While all locations are clean, very friendly, and professional, I especially recommend the Scarborough location. The drive-through and reduced foot-traffic (compared to the Portland locations) can make it faster to drive there on a busy day than wait in the Portland lines! Scarborough also has good parking, WiFi, and a comfortable place to sit. I get the feeling that this business treats their employees well and cares about things like local ingredients.

Was impressed with their famous potato donuts, as were the dozen others in line with us, but the…read morecaramel cappuccino was a letdown, assumedly due to the caramel syrup they use which has a strange aftertaste.

This morning, my wife and I finally planned to go check out their space for the first time. What more could you truly ask for than a cafe/coffee shop meets bookstore meets beer bar! My wife is more of an avid reader than I am so she enjoyed the book aspect more. They have a large menu of offerings drink wise with everything you'd expect from a coffee shop. I do wish they did a rotating seasonal special drink menu, as places usually have one or more great sounding drinks on those. Both my wife and I settled on an iced blueberry latte. Overall it had hints of blueberry and tasted more like milk than anything. Would not be rushing back for it specifically that's for sure. Food wise they have some in-house baked goods as well as bagels from Rose Foods and corssiants from Little Spruce Baking. My wife got a plain bagel with cream cheese while I grabbed a chocolate croissant. I did mess up by not requesting it be warmed up but it was still delicious! Will be finding more spots that have goodies from Little Spruce. The bagel was also tasty. Book wise my wife enjoyed browsing but did not find any books she needed to grab. She did enjoy reading a couple chapters of her current book while we sat by the large windows (good spot for world watching outside). We enjoyed our visit but have other spots we would be happier to visit again.

Best choice of the day by far and we have discovered a new favorite spot. By the name you can tell they are a cafe but are also an apothecary will be our definite go to for tea blends now. Plenty of parking available which is great and you will first notice it has rustic vibes from the outside. Inside is a little less rustic but still has the perfect feel/vibes. Cozy and inviting with lots of art on the walls. They have a number of bar stools, a few tables then a couple comfy couches to enjoy your food/drinks. Even with the snowy weather they were busy but we snagged a spot on one of the couches. I got their normal latte and my wife got their Maple Weekend special Spiced Maple Latte. Both were phenomenal and they use Milkweed Coffee Roasters. Which they are a spot that uses and supports local and makes a lot of their own things as well. Food wise we each got one of their sausage egg and cheese sandwiches on an English muffin. Again even the sausage was locally made and you could tell the English muffin was freshly made. We got them with goat cheese and pesto and they were the perfect breakfast sandwich, so much flavor! These would be absolute must try and in combination with their drinks are worth visiting for! I can't wait to return and get another sandwich and/or try even more food! Such a unique and welcoming cafe that also offers all your apothecary needs!
