Title: Great vibes, fantastic drinks, but skip the unsolicited lecture…read more We're visiting Bangor for the first time and were absolutely thrilled to stumble upon this spot while walking downtown. The atmosphere is exactly what you hope for in a local coffee shop--loved the aesthetic, the crowd was friendly, and having the lounge area next door is a fantastic touch. The drinks themselves? Delicious. The person at the register clearly knows how to pull a great shot and make a beautiful beverage. However, we had a really odd interaction while ordering. Without any prompting from us, the barista launched into a strange, unsolicited lecture about whether a Café Mocha is Italian or American, speaking to us as if we had never had coffee outside of the U.S. It was especially baffling given that we've visited Italy numerous times. We didn't ask for the history lesson, and being talked down to for no reason definitely left a sour note on an otherwise lovely visit. The bottom line: Absolutely come here for the cozy space and the high-quality drinks. Just hope the person at the register decides to skip the coffee trivia and just make the amazing drinks they clearly know how to make.

We also got the raspberry lemon loaf, and two slices of that made the total over $25! Unfortunately the loaf was completely inedible. So dry I could barely swallow it. I bake quick loaves all the time at home and have never tasted one so dry. The staff were super friendly and I loved the vibe of the place but I wouldn't return.

I ordered a pancake with blueberry compote and was happy to see they used wild blueberries in their compote. I also ordered a coffee milkshake to get my caffeine fix and that was a nice, light, dessert for breakfast kind of treat.
