I couldn't be more impressed. This was my first visit here, driving through Farmington from camping, and stopped for a latte but ended up eating there with the whole family. I've had 1 million lattes and this was seriously my favorite ever and I told him so. I'm usually a Starbucks white mocha fan but they won me over!!! Almost worth the hour Drive for me to come back LOL food was good and the staff was excellent. Very kid friendly!

Looks like Downtown Press is going through some growing pains. Waited almost an hour for a sandwich. They created the demand and now seem to be struggling to keep up with it. 40/50 minutes wait for a sandwich doesn't really work for a lunch spot (or anywhere really)They only have one register to ring up people ordering causing people with takeout orders having to wait to pay and a backup of takeout orders sitting on the back counter. They are going to have to iron out some things or they are going to very quickly lose the customer base.

The food is great, service is spot on and it's a great place to take our grandchildren because they love the play kitchen.

We visited twice while up for a week on vacation. The Bagels were phenomenal. Sourdough with that…read morecrusty outside with the soft inside. The flavors were all great, and we ended up buying a dozen. We also got breakfast sandwiches the first visit, and they were top notch. The coffee? I love a good Mocha, and this spot pushed my former undefeated favorite out of its top spot. Really great blend of flavors, working together not overpowering each other. The inside is cute, with standard tables and chairs, with some more comfortable cushioned chairs. They had a corner with kids books, that my son absolutely loved and kept having us read to him. The staff were all very friendly, even though they were clearly busy. We went early, around 8/8:30 and had a short line. We drove past them later at 9:30ish and line was out the door. Go early!

I love a good bakery and seek them out every time I travel. I've explored coastal and inland Maine…read moreand found good neighborhood donut spots (Italian bakery Lewiston), good bread bakeries (Standard bakery Portland), as well as popovers in Boston, croissant and danish in NYC and Chicago, but this is the best overall bakery I've ever been to! Freshly baked standbys like croissants and danish plus unique french pastries I wish I had the self control to take pictures of before I devoured them. Add fresh roasted coffee they'll grind to order (I needed pour-over size for morning coffee on the trail). Every time I am within an hour of Gemini bakery, I have to visit and I'm always surprised with a new experience. The employees are so personable and the dining room so cozy!

My parents had raved about their previous experience here and wanted to bring us. We did arrive a…read morelittle later than open on Saturday and it was quite a long line. So firstly I would recommend showing up early or to expect a wait especially on weekends. Also related to this their space is quite small it can be a little chaotic with finding a spot to sit. Despite the small space they have made sure it is very beautifully designed and amazing vibes overall. Makes sense why it is so popular honestly. We snagged some of their outdoor seats and enjoyed the nice weather with our breakfast. They have a good mix of sweet and savory and talking to some others in line they said you honestly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. They have a great amount of coffee drink options too and when you order a large they are not lying, it is huge. I finished mine during breakfast but my wife and mother got theirs in a to-go cup before we left and looked like a normal sized large still. Food wise I felt like I had to try their Blueberry French Toast and it did not disappoint, great take on the dish. Only real complaint I could say is I would prefer a little thinner slice of bread so it can soak a little better but no real complaints. My wife got the Librarian Omelette (minus mushrooms) and it was large and jam full, they did not skimp on ingredients. Her only real complaint was some bacon was thicker than she prefers but again minimal. If you are looking for a spot to grab some delicious breakfast and/or coffee in central Maine this should be near the top of your list. From the overall vibes to quality of drinks and food you will likely have a difficult finding a better spot.

We tried Pistachio Chai latte, Chicken wrap and Toast. Chicken wrap was decent and the toast was…read morebaked in house. The toast came with complimentary jam and tasted delicious. The Pistachio was too sweet for our taste.The vibes and the energy of the cafe is amazing. It offers scenic view to dine outside.
