Bard Coffee

Bard is one of my favorite places in Portland for coffee. Their dirty chai is my favorite, hot or iced. I also love the cold brew and vietnamese coffee. Plus you can order at the takeout window and enjoy the sun while you wait.

If you're visiting Portland, I recommend going to Bard Coffee. Located in Old Port in Portland, the coffee shop is adjacent to a park which contains a takeout window for Bard. You can go into the front of the building to seat yourself inside if you're planning on staying for awhile. They offer all of the staples of a coffee shop but also have some lesser-available items like Vietnamese Coffee, or completely unique offerings like the Creamsicle Shakerato shown in the photo. Also, if you visit on a super hot day, there is ice water and cups near the sugar and mixing station. Very appreciated when it is 90° outside.

Love the little park this is near. Nitro brew tastes great and a decent portion. It's a bit pricey but between getting more than Starbucks and it tasting basically the same it's probably worth it. The Good: Good tasting drinks. Prices are fair compared to the big name places. Portions are okay. Service is average speed. Love the nearby park. The Meh: None The Bad: None

One of the BEST cappuccino in the world. If you are in the area, you MUST taste it. The staff is also warm and friendly. Highly recommended.

cozy interior with beautiful windows looking out into the street as well as benches and tables tucked away on the side for a quieter visit. We loved the iced vanilla lattes!

Great Chai and amazing vibes! Owner was amazing and explained the process of his bean roasting. Definitely a great place with normal hours.Recommended dishesCroissant

It's a very nice place, in terms of the decor and the lighting. It's spacious, and seats a lot of people. It's very friendly for people who work remotely, and they make the majority of their customers.Service: 5/5

Picking up some Bard beans at the start of my Maine stay was exactly the right choice, the service was phenomenal, staff friendly and the coffee made each morning that much better. Thanks!Food: 5/5

I always like local coffeeshop. Nice vibes and good services.

Long wait for mediocre coffee. I like to try local coffee houses when traveling, typically I am pleasantly surprised. This venture was just ok, if I was in the area for a longer period of time I would give them another try. Perhaps I ordered the wrong drink. The place was very crowded so I assumed it would be awesome as it was recommended by another store owner in the area. Everyone deserves a second chance.
