What customers say

It was my first time in Maine, and this was the first stop I made as I was exploring the town. I let the barista know it was my first time and he was helpful with the recommendations. I ordered a latte with wildflower honey.

Atmosphere was warm and inviting. Great knowledgeable hospitable staff. I ordered a vanilla bean latte with half the syrup. There were a few orders ahead so I had to wait a couple minutes more than expected, but I appreciated their question jar by the espresso bar.

As soon as you walk into Bard coffee, you would know that you’re gonna have amazing coffee from the smell of their coffee beans. I had the maple latte. It was good but a bit sweet, so if you don’t like sugar it’s better to stick with the regular latte.

Very good espresso. The best espresso experience that I had in US. The espresso is correctly prepared and comes with sparkling water. It also have a great bean… I highly recommend this place for a high espresso experience. I didn’t try other items, but, based on espresso, I believe everything is awesome..
