Crema's Take
“Nestled in Bar Harbor, this espresso-focused café has earned a near-perfect reputation for pulling some of the best lattes around, with patrons raving about both the thoughtful craft and the warmth of owner Kira's hospitality. Beyond exceptional coffee, they serve craveable breakfast and pastries like sourdough rye waffles with local maple syrup and berries—the kind of place people trust enough to host their most meaningful celebrations. It's small and cozy with a genuine, eclectic spirit that keeps visitors coming back again and again.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

One of the best coffee shops I have EVER been to. (I've lived in SF, NYC, and traveled to 40 countries - I've seen some shops.) Their Espresso Magician is a decadent Mexican mocha that is alone worth the stop. On top of it, every single one of the ladies here is delightful,…
