Second Rodeo Coffee
124 Sawyer St, South Portland, ME
Crema's Take
“This South Portland gem punches way above its weight with thoughtfully crafted coffee that lets quality shine through without any bitter notes, paired with creative food like their standout avocado toast and blueberry waffles that keep locals coming back. The space itself feels like a creative hub where the staff treats you like family—genuinely inviting and artistic without trying too hard—making it equally perfect for a focused work session or lingering over pastries with kids in tow. It's the kind of unexpected find that becomes a destination, earning its stellar reputation as a vibrant gathering spot that somehow manages to feel both sophisticated and genuinely warm.”

Really neat little spot. Super glad we ventured out of downtown for coffee. Certainly unexpected. Very cool atmosphere. High quality coffee and espresso. Not bitter. If you don't know any better you may say it's weak but not the case just smooth.
Hands-down, the best coffee shop in our neck of the woods. We love it here, the staff and owners are simply the best and you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. It’s brought so much vibrancy in life to our little community, thank you Second Rodeo for everything you do!
First time here and it was great! We had heard the Avocado Toast was good and it was delicious!! We also ordered a chocolate croissant and lattes that were very good! The blueberry waffles were delicious too! We’ll be coming back again soon! For sure!
We first found this super adorable coffee shop last winter on an epic 1000+ mile trip from North Carolina to Montreal. A year later, we are happy to report that it is just as delicious and cozy of an atmosphere as we remembered. We can’t get enough of the smooth espresso drinks, customizable tea selection, and warm breakfast sandwiches. Bring a board game, book and friends - and stay a while!
One of my favorite places to be. Staff is like family, culture is vibrant, space is inviting, artistic, and kid friendly. Coffee and food are thoughtful and creative, but not complicated. Getting something to go? It can be busy but the staff and layout is efficient. Meeting for a beverage? there are comfortable seating options sprinkled thorough out the space. Working from “home”? Good WiFi and desk/workspace options. An added highlight is the rotating art on the walls and slowly evolving furniture. For me, it’s a community hub and a great melting pot. I have the luxury of being a regular here and am grateful for the team and Second Rodeo Definitely check it out
