Cedar Bean's Coffee Joint

The shop was very easy to find, and I was able to get on street parking. While the weather was bad the day I went, they had a wonderful outside dining area that I could see being used when it wasn’t a northeaster. The first thing I noticed when I entered, the shop was a large screen over the counter, highlighting various customers. It’s apparent to me that the customers matter are here. There were several in the shop working and conversing. It’s obviously a place where people feel comfortable hanging out. The menu is diverse and there are food options. I chose a pour over and a cinnamon scone. I was waited on by Adriana and Cassie both of whom were pleasant and patient while I decided on what I wanted and asked my questions. When Adriana didn’t know the answer, she turned to Cassie. Cassie appeared quite knowledgeable about the tasting note of the various coffees. She was also wearing an Acadia national Park sweatshirt, so I chatted with her for a minute about Maine. This is definitely a shop I would visit again. The coffee was extremely flavorful, fresh and reasonably priced. The scone was scrumptious and also fresh. The only thing that I struggled with was the counter area and the area above the counter was extremely overwhelming. There was just too much going on, and it made it difficult to focus on finding what I was looking for. I thought it was great having the photos of the patrons, maybe in a different place the voting screen also took away from the menu board. There was just so much clutter at the front. Otherwise, the place was fantastic.

Great coffee, cozy charm, and pastries that actually deliver. The vibe’s already on point but the owner’s joyful energy just makes it better. Creative drinks, handwritten notes on every mug, thoughtful touches that make it feel personal and worth coming back to.

I wish I didn’t get the Mac and cheese because this would have been a full 5 star review. The coffee was absolutely INCREDIBLE! I got the mocha mirage and it was probably some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. I will for sure be coming back if I can daily for it! However, DO NOT get the MAC AND CHEESE!! this should not even be advertised as mac and cheese because it’s dry kraft with breadcrumbs dumped on top. Truly the taste made me gag and I’m so angry I even spent money on this. Worst Mac and cheese I’ve ever had in my life. It’s really unfortunate because it was paired with some of the best coffee I’ve had in my life.
