The number of local coffee roasters has significantly expanded over the past decade and many run cafes where you can try their coffee such as Arabica, Bard, Coffee by Design, Rwanda Bean, Speckled Ax, Tandem in Portland, as well as Elements and Time & Tide in Biddeford.
But there are also a growing number of roasters you can try by visiting coffee shops and restaurants that don’t roast their own and have opted to bring in beans from elsewhere in the state or the country. Here are the ones I know of:
- Astro Coffee – More & Co
- Bucklyn Coffee – Forage
- Carrabassett Coffee – Crooked Mile Cafe or Evo
- Crossroads Coffee Beans – Terlingua
- Flight Coffee Co. – The Proper Cup
- George Howell Coffee – HiFi Donuts
- Little Wolf Coffee Roasters – Hilltop Coffee
- Onyx Coffee Lab – Candy’s
- Parlor Coffee – Cong Tu Bot or Rose Foods
- Rock City Coffee – The Garrison
- Seacoast Coffee – Central Provisions, Omi’s Coffee Shop
- Speedwell Coffee Roasters – The Purple House
- Vivid Coffee Roasters – Little Woodfords
