There are lots of places on Maine Street to get coffee, and relax for a few minutes. I didn't find this shop welcoming or cozy. I felt awkward waiting, in fact. There is one settee by the window. A few people were already sitting there. Other than that, it's an open space where you stand to wait. There's no space to sit outside either - this is NOT their fault as the sidewalk is currently torn up, and maybe tables will be available. I certainly hope so. I ordered a pumpkin latte with almond milk. It was a strange, grainy consistency and I couldn't put my finger on the flavor - it wasn't like any pumpkin spice I've ever had. I drank 1/4 of it, and discarded the rest. The canned coffee is uber expensive. $35 for a 4 pak.

This coffee is so good I didn't want to add my typical gulp of creamer to it. Owner was very nice…read more A perfect spot for grabbing coffee to bring along as I window shopped along Main Street. Added appeal is the fact that they have eco-friendly packaging that you can compost at home.

This morning my wife and I were looking for a new to us coffee spot and due to being so close this…read morewas the spot we ended up picking. Seeing their seasonal (Valentines) specials on social media really sold us on coming in. It was not that busy when we came in and took no time at all to order and receive our drinks. The baristas were friendly and the spot is definitely a welcoming to everyone space. It seemed like a good spot for those interested to spend time on the computer doing some work or those wanting to watch the world walk by out the windows. The overall vibes were nice enough and I don't have anything overly negative about it but enjoy some other local spots more. It is a thin long space which maybe contributed to that feeling. Also secondly I think it leans a little more towards generic coffee shop. Drink wise my wife and I typically are iced coffee drinkers no matter the weather but with the walking around in the cold made us want that hot coffee to warm us up. I went with their Salted Banana Foster while my wife got the Cherry Cobbler Au Lait. Both were solid drinks to give us that warming feeling inside and delivered good flavor without being too overpowering. Arabica will be a coffee shop I will consider revisiting in Portland it just may not be my first choice.

When I finally checked it out, I was super impressed with their chai. It tasted homemade and was a great size for the price, plus sitting with a hot drink at that cool curved bar is so fun. I can totally see myself sitting in here with a book or doing some people watching. The staff were friendly, and my chai came out fast and hot. Will definitely be back!

I came here to replenish my coffee beans, having miscalculated how much to bring on my camping…read moretrip. Their beans are from a small local roastery. That matters to me. Time and Tide in Biddeford. Since I was there I had a cup too, because why not. It was decent, but maybe just the slightest bit weak? Or maybe not. Lots of fancier options too but I don't go for those. They have a selection of baked goods. I think they're all from other small local businesses, not made here. I had a lemon blueberry scone with the coffee which was outstanding. Delightfully light in texture, not heavy or greasy, and not overly sweet. Lemony of course and the blueberries were plentiful, tangy, and small. I'd guess they were wild Maine blueberries (frozen of course this being April) but I'm not sure. A maple glaze completed this masterpiece. They didn't forget the chocolate lovers. A very dark enormous brownie called to me but reluctantly I passed. Maybe tomorrow. It annoys me when bakeries don't have any chocolate offerings. From the hand pie selection I chose a Carrot, Leek, and Goat Cheese for later. Also outstanding. The crust was flaky, not dry, subtly buttery, and just the right thickness for the filling which was generous. (It made it all the way to the edges, which many hand pies do not.) Decorated with thyme leaves. The filling was sweet, which I thought was just from the caramelized leeks but I read on the wrapper that sugar is also an ingredient. Just the right amount. The carrots were "rainbow", in several colors, and very pretty. Pretty expensive at $8 but for the size and quality I'm glad I got it. The place is very small but looks like a comfortable place to hang out. A few small tables, walls decorated with painted flowers and vines. The counter people were nice and thanked me for coming in. Customers were mostly engrossed in conversations, not absorbed into their devices. Even though it was just a quick stop for take-out I enjoyed my visit.
