"The staff were very friendly and kind. The vibe is a little 90s. The latte was smooth, but the syrup used is just not great quality so it threw it off for me. I can see many looking it. If you like sweet drinks and the more commercial coffee chains you will like this. If you're into more modern coffee it won't be for you. The nitro cold brew was extremely sour. Maybe the worst nitro I've had."

"Popped in on Saturday morning after breakfast around the corner. I ordered a matcha latte w/ soymilk to sip on while walking around the city. Latte was deliciously creamy and hot, and the matcha had a wonderful flavor. I came back on Sunday morning and ordered an espresso, almond milk latte, and a blueberry scone. Delicious latte and oh wow, that blueberry scone was the best I’ve ever had! Very dense and buttery with a hint of natural sweetness from the blueberries. Mmmm it really hit the spot. Such a cute little coffee shop with lots of vegan & GF options. I’ll definitely be back!"

"Quaint little café that makes a stellar dirty chai. Nice selection of pastries and baked goodies as well with a really chill and relaxing atmosphere. This location was a stone throw away from the Black Elephant hostel where we spent the weekend. It was the start to my mornings. Strong recommend."

"Coffee by Design(CBD) Is such a great coffee shop. I love going there to have a coffee and just hanging out. I got the frozen mocha with caramel and white mocha. Pretty good.. the atmosphere is so cool. It's definitely a nice neighborhood coffee shop. The prices are pretty reasonable."

"Smooth, delicious, and well balanced coffee without that annoying burnt flavor you get at the major national chain. Fast and friendly staff and casual and relaxing outdoor seating. They make the best oat milk latte I've had in Maine."
