Great coffee! This place is easily accessible and smack dab right in the middle of all the Camden, ME hubbub! You might have to wait a bit for a coffee, but it's well worth it. I got a maple, oat milk latte and was not at all disappointed with it. Smooth and delicious! It was the perfect pairing with my bench sitting and people watching in downtown Camden :) read more

absolutely wonderful baked goods, espresso great, too! very welcoming, friendly place. try the apricot tiny cakes and muffins... yum!

Super cute clean large coffee shop. Drinks were delicious and the baked goods are baked in store (they don't outsource). Plenty of space to sit down and enjoy your drink/baked goods and check email. Staff is friendly and super hard working and quick. read more

Not a huge staff but with a line out the door could handle it. Was very impressed. Overall a cute and great place

Not really friendly service,or fair price. I paid caffe forte iced (pictured) $5.80. There is not really coffee taste or they do not have iced cup to serve your ice coffee. There is Camden Deli one block down ,and they look crowded but amazingly fast and friendly. Also look the price list read more

Very mediocre. Coffee was weak, hot chocolate and iced chai were very watery and lacked flavor. It's a bit of a shame, especially since it's so popular. read more

Zoot Coffee was certainly a surprise! My girlfriend and I were visiting and we didn't expect at all finding a vegan breakfast place. We tried all their vegan items and they were delicious! Also the coffee was excellent (they use a "La Marzocco" coffee maker so this is already the first step to a damn fine good coffee!). Certainly a spot to take into consideration if you are into good coffee and vegan pastry! read more

Zoot Coffee - Vegan pastry - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Camden, Maine

I've looked for fabulous coffee shops on five continents - THIS IS THE BEST. Who could have predicted that a little coffee shop in Camden Maine would beat out the best coffee shops in Vienna et al. Woman owned, incredible coffee and tea and cucumber lemonade? Who knew? Inventive without being silly. Great painting from a local artist in the walls. WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE. It's perfect. read more

Coffee is fantastic, service is quick - but the weekend staff is snarky and grumpy unlike the cheerful competent daily staff!

Over priced modern coffee. It's good and they have great vegan treat options. I did enjoy the cranberry orange cake.

Best coffee in Camden, great news location with great artwork and great lighting! Finally, I don't feel guilty lingering!

I remembered hearing about Zoot's from a friend, and when I passed through Camden recently I decided to stop and check it out ("if there's a parking space nearby, then it's meant to be" is frequently how I decide to stop at a place that's in the heart of a busy main strip - wouldn't you know, on a Wednesday afternoon there was a space right in front of the little shop). What a gem of a place! It's got a few tables in front near the enormous windows, and a few more tables out back that seem a bit more private. When I came, there was someone hammering away on a laptop with notes and whatnot spread out on the table in front of her (it looked like she had been there for a while and no intention of leaving anytime soon); the entire Camden High School cross-country team; and some local parks and recreation folks grabbing a coffee "because they had to keep up with the DOT" (it was fascinating enough to remember, what can I say?). The point: it's the perfect space for EVERYONE. I got an iced coffee with some all natural caramel flavoring. Zoot's coffee is STRONG (which is how I prefer my java), so don't expect anything bland or weak here. I like that my iced coffee came in a hot coffee cup (because, really, why does there need to be a difference in cups between the two anyway?), and appreciated that the soy was complimentary. The caramel was a nice touch, and I would encourage you to check out the other flavors they've got! I was also pleasantly surprised to see that of the four things left (a muffin, a scone, a bar, and quiche) in their food case, three were vegan and gluten-free. WHATTTT?! I felt like I was in an alternate universe where nothing was off limits to my little stomach. I settled on a Scottish oat and ginger bar... and it was divine. The ginger flavor was STRONG (which is also how I prefer my ginger), naturally energising, and filling to boot. Perfect little midday pick-me-up after a hike in Camden Hills State Park. The snack and coffee ran me about $6 (which would have been like $10 in Portland), the pleasant barista's company was priceless. She seemed to genuinely like her job and her friendly disposition was welcomed. Definitely one of my new favorite coffee shops in the state! read more

Coffee shop with multiple home baked vegan pastry / coffee cake type items. Nice to find some vegan options in an area generally without many. read more

Waited for a good 10 mins before we ordered, Mon 10am, then waited another 5ish for our drinks - not the best, just had an iced chai & not good. The staff was welcoming but overall vibe was too quiet for a coffee shop (in my opinion) read more

Just OK. Not sure of all the hype . I had a cappuccino frappe ..... we find small coffee houses every where we travel .... Wouldn't go back

The staff here is so friendly, and the coffee is delicious. I stopped in at this cafe every day during my mini vacation this week, and one of the baristas recommended trying a Maine maple soy latte which was too good! read more

Very busy place. Good service. WiFi left a lot to be desired. I consider good WiFi to be a core service of coffee shops now, so that could use a lot of love. Minus 1 star. Coffee shots were pretty bitter and difficult to drink even after I retreated to doctoring up with 1/2 and 1/2 and a dose of honey. I usually drink americanos black, so if that gives you a measure, the shots sucked. Minus 1 star. Service was nice. Bathroom situation is a bit rough. read more

Perfect morning breakfast stop! Coffee was fantastic, as was the Zoot Toast. The line was long but went quickly and certainly worth it. Great local spot right in the heart of Camden. read more

Best spice late and friendly place where you want to relax . Looking forward to travel and visit Zoot again

This charming coffee shop is located right in downtown Camden. The focus is definitely on all sorts of drinks, not just coffee, and they offer some small bites and pastries too. My friends had a black iced tea, which was good, but came in a hot cup which was a little weird. I enjoyed a very good iced americano although I asked for an iced coffee and it would have been good if they acknowledged there was a difference. My wife said her iced latte was also great. We got an almond butter and jelly toast for $5, not cheap for what it was but the bread was nice. Ambiance is chill and would come here to do some work read more

The coffee here was fine, but the service was awful and downright hostile. I got there 2 minutes before opening, so waited outside on the street patiently (didn't knock or even say anything, just smiled at the baristas to say hi) when a barista told me through the door in an unfriendly way, "we still have 5 minutes before we open". Then when they did open, a different barista told me "for future reference, you should wait over there" pointing the left of the store. (There were no other customers in sight). Not sure why the people here are so unfriendly to paying friendly customers. Don't worry, Zoot, there won't be a future visit. read more

Zoot Coffee was a great little spot in Camden. I came here twice while in town for the weekend and both times the cafe was busy but service was quick and efficient. The iced chai was delicious and prices were reasonable for coffee. If you're in town and looking for a coffee spot definitely check out Zoot Coffee! read more

Amazingly rich coffee in a cute little shop. Kind and competent staff. For those who like the fancy types of coffee, they have all this names that I cannot pronounce, and they also have wonderful brewed coffee. read more

Quaint coffee bar in a beautiful village. Chai latte was delicious and macchiato was bold with rich foam. Amazing aroma in the room and local artisan items for sale in a bright, European feeling café. read more

After looking for multiple legit coffee shops in the area, we finally decided on this one based on the menu options and look of the shop. Our first thoughts as we walked through the door is the shop has a good vibe going for it and some good music playing. Patrons seem to be enjoying the coffee, artwork & company. One way we judge a craft coffee shop is by its drinks mainly espresso and Cortado. Our orders for today were a Cortado & an espresso tonic. I got a little worried when the cashier asked what size Cortado? It should only be 2oz of espresso and 2oz of steamed milk. One star lost. Staff were friendly and made our orders very quickly. The Cortado was okay, definitely not the worst I've had and not the best either. The microfoam was lacking, and although I could taste chocolate notes at the beginning of the drink, the rest fell flat. Also there was no attempt for any art( no marks against this, as Cortado's don't always have art) the Espresso/tonic was delicious and refreshing, everything to be expected from one. The one thing that got me though is when I looked over and saw the barista brushing the spent espresso grinds from the tray of the Astoria grinder back into the dosing chamber with a brush... this is appalling. How can you serve a decent espresso if it's not ground fresh and you are recycling you coffee grinds. 3 stars max. Hope this review helps with some training. Keep improving and learning! read more

We stop whenever we pass through Camden, and we love the vibe. The owner is so cool and chill. The coffee drinks are excellent (we've had lattes and americanos), and the pastries are yummy with a twist. It's a downtown spot that feels just right: homey, simple, worn, soft, real. read more

Best cup of coffee we had while in Camden. Nice spot to sit with a book. Friendly staff.

Got an iced chai latte but it wasn't very strong, tasted a bit watered down. There are also no prices listed for the drinks. The service and ambience was nice though. read more

I went to this place many times over the summer. The coffee was excellent. My wife and son loved the non-coffee drinks and the pastries. The people who worked there were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it to anyone staying in the Lincolnville area. read more

When I'm in Camden, and I'm in Camden a lot, I go to Zoot for my Americano. It's probably the best Americano I've had in the states. My favorite has to be their iced Americano in the summer, takes me back to high school. Anyhoo their espresso is fantastic quality and their prices don't gouge your pockets too bad (despite what some folks are saying on here...). At times I've thought they were a little rude and passive aggressive BUT I'll say it again, best Americano. They don't have a huge selection for breakfast, however they do offer quiche sometimes and baked goods. They have a toast option with fancy spreads which runs a little steep (4.95 I believe) but it is good.. not sure if it's $5 worth of good, but that depends on how much you value good toast. Definitely come here for a cup of coffee and if you're hungry they have something to nibble on. If you're looking for a sit down meal with a group this probably isn't the best bet. Good for meetings, free wi-fi if you're doing work and if you're just looking to spend some alone time with a good book. They prefer cash and I believe the card minimum is $5.00. If you're feeling like cheating on your diet, get the Mocha Bianca! read more

Awesome coffee shop. If u like star**cks u might have forgotten what a real coffee shop is like. The proprietors are delightful, the coffee properly roasted and delicious and the wifi is fast and free. In short, it is the quintessential local coffee shop and in the age of the uniformly mediocre chain behemoth I celebrate it. read more

Crashed out from four hours in the car and rapidly waning caffeine levels, we stopped here with low expectations and high need for coffee. We stepped in and WHOAH! there was a huge line and only a single barista behind the counter, carefully filling every order. While we waited for service we looked at some of the lovely hand-thrown mugs and cups made by a local artist, some of the collage art on the walls, and took a well-needed pit stop, where local posters advertising rock star camp made us laugh ("your audience is waiting!!!") The coffee was very good. They don't roast it themselves but they do know their way around an espresso machine and put some lovely drinks in our hands and in our bellies. The space, airy and bright with windows looking east, is a great place to spend a few hours and read the paper. One of the regulars had his gorgeous dog with him, sitting at his feet quietly. Any cafe that lets customers bring their dogs inside is okay by me. read more

I only had one thing in mind when I went in here - the restroom. Instead, I didn't just leave relieved, but I left with a strawberry banana smoothie and a frosted cupcake. The smoothie was clean, healthy and refreshing. The cupcake was the exact opposite of the smoothie, but in a good way. It felt like I was biting into an extremely rich, soft, buttery cake and the frosting was equally delicious. I wanted to nap from satisfaction, but I had to keep driving sadly. Great clean bathroom by the way guys. read more

Coffee was great. I had an iced cafe forte and it definitely got me going. There were two 4 year old children there that felt the need to comment on my red beard which automatically sent me back to grade school where I was picked on for the same reason. I tried to ignore them, but they pushed me pretty hard. Coffee was great though. read more

Nice coffee shop with a great Maine vibe. Has the typical soup, quiche, salad menu, great teas, great coffee. One of these in any Maine town. Great place to wind down. Great hot chocolate with whipped cream. read more

Zoot is my Camden office away from the office...a place where I meet clients, have impromptu coffee with friends and steal away to check my email with the free wi-fi. I am a simple coffee drinker (plain cup of joe please) so for my tastes, the coffee is great - but really, it is the all the added benefits that make Zoot a great coffee shop and a "third place" in Camden to be sure. read more

Just spent a week with my family in Camden. What a great find! Excellent quality and pricing. Iced coffee was made fresh with espresso and was perfect every time! Wonderful flavor and strength of coffee was on point. We went every day for the entire week and will miss this wonderful family owned coffee shop! read more
