Great coffee-shop-chic atmosphere, quality java. Really good bread from local Seven Stars Bakery. Sit out front on a nice morning, sip and reflect.
Surprisingly good Asian food in a hole-in-the-wall type spot. Hot and sour soup and spring rolls are a great place to start. Best part of this place is the prices. Very reasonable for what you get.
Great coffee and solid pourovers. Service was a bit lacking but the staff was friendly enough.
Stopped here while passing through Weymouth after seeing lots of good reviews on Yelp. It was great. Chive dumplings were fantastic, as was the Lime Leaf Noodle dish. A very pleasant surprise.
A must-visit spot for Lovecraft and Poe fans, as both men spent significant time here. Get there early and grab one of the desks on the balcony overlooking the main floor. Read and people-watch.
I was blown away by the unique and inspired Thai food here. Every dish we tried was exceptional. It's also very vegetarian/vegan friendly. (You're a damn fool if you don't try the sticky rice ball.)
Best bagel I've found in Portland. Servers could definitely be more pleasant but I'm OK with cranky hipsters as long as the bagels don't disappoint.
Atmosphere is somewhat lacking but the Maine-focused tap list makes up for that. Food is average pub grub but you shouldn't come here for the food. It's all about the beer. Drink something Bissell.
Pizza here is solid. Very thin crust with an array of possible sauces, cheeses and toppings. Simple pizzas are reasonably priced but they get expensive as you add toppings. They have vegan cheese too.
I'm a fan of the papusas and tostadas for appetizers. Chicken a la Mexicana is great too. Ask for flour tortillas with it. Prices are very reasonable too.
