    I popped in here for lunch today and I'm glad I did! I like local sandwich shops as they usually have some creative items in the menu and tend to fit the local 'vibe'. I totally felt welcome here by the way I was treated at the counter. It's a rare gem to be made to feel special, even if just ordering a sandwich and chips for lunch. My sandwich was great and I really enjoyed my iced peanut butter espresso drink. They were both very delicious and on point and could rave about both of them. What really hit me here though was just really how I was treated as a customer. Maybe it's just spring time and the sun came out for the first time in a few days but man, I just felt really good coming in here and enjoying lunch. Kudos to the folks running this place and the awesome workers here. They really made my day!!!

    Chicken Pesto Wrap
    Tiffany L.

    We stopped by this place for lunch as it was really close to the Bangor Airport and we had just flown in. Unlike other reviews, I didn't have any problems with the service! Yes, our food did take 30 minutes (we were dining in) but the staff gave us a heads up about that before we placed our orders and we were fine with the wait (we were a big group). What I wasn't a huge fan of was the Pesto Chicken Wrap on Spinach -- I don't know if it was because they were out of certain ingredients, but I didn't taste any pesto, and it was supposed to come with prosciutto but tbh didn't taste or look like prosciutto. It was some other kind of mystery meat. The chicken was also tasteless and didn't seem fresh. Others did like their orders though, especially the Piggie Smalls. I also don't know if the menu was out of date or what, but we didn't get any salads with our sandwiches. There's a good amount of seating available both indoors and outdoors, and I like that they support local artists because you can purchase the paintings hung up around the restaurant. There's also a couple of single bathrooms available (although one was out of service when we went). I would recommend, but maybe just not the Chicken Pesto Wrap! *** PS a note to management--please include an option to recycle your clear plastic cups! The trash bins didn't make it obvious whether they could be put in with the bottles and cans.

    Green eggs and Ham Sammish

    Green eggs and Ham sammish is phenomenal. The pesto really comes through for some excellent flavor. The croissant roll is light and fluffy. Plentyfull eggs, ham and cheese. They may look small at first but they really do fill you up. Coffee is good. Light and airy seating area, good vibes I like that they ask if you want a bag without assuming you do and that their to go containers are eco friendly

    Delicious vegan breakfast sandwich! Pic doesn't do it justice. Daiya cheese, Just Egg, Impossible sausage, vegan aioli.
    Molly E.

    They offer a vegan breakfast sandwich with just egg, an impossible sausage patty, daiya cheese shreds, and a vegan aioli type sauce. It was everything I'd hoped for. It was the perfect amount of greasy. What's more, one of the cooks was super helpful and friendly. I actually brought the sandwich back over to him, thinking it wasn't vegan (it just looked too good--too nuanced, you know?), and he cheerfully assured me it was vegan, listing out that was in it and in such a way that made me feel he was excited by just how convincing it was. "I'm not vegan or vegetarian but that sandwich is unbelievable." Chef's kiss. This is divine.

    Came after a night shift for a breakfast sando! It's the best, getting a good sleep after a full belly. Super cute space with lots of seating. They do require masks when not eating and provide hand sanitizer and masks at the door for anyone who needs them. All the tables are labeled to have been sanitized. I got the OMG sando and although it seemed small, it definitely packs a calorie punch and left me full for a while. Packed with a sausage patty, ham, pepper bacon, egg and cheese, the donut was the perfect amount of sweetness for the salty in the middle. I swear I gobbled it down in like 5 seconds. Super nice employees and takes Apple Pay, I'll definitely have to go back and try everything on the menu during my stay here.

    The revenue they lost by the poor treatment we received.

    JUST DON'T! There is a reason why this place is empty and Central Bagel has a line out the door! Andrew, the manager, could not have been any more rude! His non-apology apology and insults, yes INSULTS, were personal and unrelenting! He even questioned my intelligence while using poor grammar and vocabulary words he didn't understand! I can not impress upon you strongly enough to spend your dollars elsewhere!

    Dropped here to grab some breakfast before heading to Acadia and it was such a great decision. The coffee was well made and piping hot. The two sandwiches we got were really delicious. We each gave the other our halves. They were full of flavorful meat but not an overwhelming amount and the OMG on the doughnut was the best contrast with all of the salty rich items. It kept me full for a day or hiking and then in time for an early dinner. I wasn't even super sleepy after I ate it which is crazy considering I'm pregnant and always get sleepy after I eat. Really great place in downtown Bangor and glad we got to try it!

    One drink order misconfigured, mediocre avocado toast and a clearly disinterested sales person.

    Absolute best stop we made on our trip to Maine! I wish I could pack this place up & take it home…read morewith me. This place was like stepping back in time to go eat breakfast at my Papaw's house. Everything about it was fantastic. We had a variety of food, blueberry pancakes, bacon, ham, home fries, hash, eggs, homemade toast & jelly- it was all spot on & just what we needed before the long trip home! The sweet people working the counter, cooking & serving us were so accommodating & considerate. They gave our 1 year old crayons and a little baby fork to eat with. The atmosphere was perfect, it was cozy, inviting & to top it off, the fresh baked goods we purchased as we left were delicious.

    5 star baked goods, 3 star eggs, this place is small and popular. Little countertop and then some…read moretables. I had eggs, bacon (which I asked for burnt well) , and a homemade biscuit with their homemade raspberry jam, the biscuit and jam were the star of the breakfast show. The bacon only had 1 edible piece. I also split a raspberry coconut muffin grilled with my hubs and that was spectacular, an explosion of soft flavor. We would get baked goods to go next time. My home fries reminded me of my dads growing up literal boiled potatoes cut up zero seasoning and grilled heated but with no char, I liked them prob from a nostalgia standpoint my hubs didn't enjoy
