I played a show here with two other musician friends from NY. I never experienced so much kindness and help with publicizing the event and making sure we got what we needed. Chris the director of communications was absolutely amazing and even promoted our show at another venue. The staff was incredibly down to earth and open. We even had car trouble that they helped us with. Everyone really offered a helping hand. The coffee is amazing and the food as well. Its hit or miss with vegan treats but arabica was a hit. Had a great time playing and made beautiful connections. Definitely worth a visit!

I stopped in here for a caffeine pick-me-up after a long day of traveling. I wish I had the time to stay and sit down and enjoy the atmosphere a little more. Lots of what looked like local art work on display, as is the norm for most indy coffee shops. I had a mocha and my wife had a latte, I also sampled two of the regular brewed coffees. Everything was agreeable. The mocha wasnt too sweet which was a relief, as I find many places focus on the sweet instead of the chocolate flavor. This place definitely warrants another visit the next time I am in Portland.

I knew as soon as I stepped in the door I knew I would love it. The whole decor screams "welcome". The staff were just as welcoming and seemed to get on well. I had a coffee and a sweet and both were delicious. If you eat in, youre served on real dishes. Waste is separated into recycling, compost and trash, so if youre environmentally conscious, that helps. There were lots of vegan and vegetarian options too. I liked everything about this place and will be back.

Sunny, cheerful ambiance; professional, friendly staff. Some gluten-free sweet treats to be had (cookies, muffins, brownies). I had a café au lait (it was fine) and a very sweet, rich, fudgy raspberry brownie (enough to save half for later!!) 4 stars because there were only two accessible power outlets, and because there were a lot of tourists when I visited on a Tuesday afternoon. But I do love the big windows; its a pleasant cafe overall.

In an old warehouse or such, as are many businesses in Portlands Old Port, it is surprisingly large and spacious. Service was quick ( and they were busy) and the coffee was excellent, bought a pound home with me. I indulged in a cinnamon roll which was amazing, liked the place so much we went back after out ferry put returned. Highly recommended. Btw just made a pot of the Bali which I ls great.

This is a nice stop for a quick coffee or other barista style beverages. Im simple. A strong black coffee or iced coffee satisfies me. I have been here several times and will definitely go back. Whether youre killing time waiting for a ferry or meeting friends or just want to relax and read or play with your phone or pad etc. NICE LOCATION!!!

Very cool atmosphere. We got both hot and iced. The hot medium roast was the most perfect coffee ever. They have cups and water available to all patrons. I wish they had more outdoor seating. They have about 4 tables, but they fill up fast.

This coffee shop was remarkable. There was plenty of seating and the free Wi-Fi was a plus. Extraordinary treat bars go well with the fresh coffee. I ate here frequently and enjoyed it every time.

The coffee gets roasted here and some of the sweets get baked here. This is a great place to relax or to get some work done. Get here early during tourist season, because this place gets packed.

Good coffee, wonderful baked goods. Friendly staff and good service. Great atmosphere, with a beautiful, huge window on the water. If youre in the neighborhood, you cant go wrong with Arabica.

Awesome coffee (Rwanda Bean) and great spot to set up and work for a few hours. Industrial/funky decor is what you would expect from a hip little coffee shop in the Old Port.

I just had the most amanzing lunch here with my family, warmed by the fire and the soft piano music. They have great veggie/vegan options and my carmel latte was spot on.

A nice mixture of energy and relaxation. Can enjoy a caffe mocha to focus or a decaf chai to destress. Friendly staff. Healthy snacks. Good vibes.

Okay. But there are much better coffee spots in Portland than this one. Dont order regular coffee, I dont think they clean their urns

I had a maple latte and it was amazing. Just the right amount of sweetness without being over the top.
