Rock City Coffee Roasters
316 Main St, Rockland, ME
Crema's Take
“Rock City's Dark Star espresso is so good that regulars have named their bass guitars after it, and the genuinely nice staff keeps the whole operation feeling refreshingly unpretentious despite the harbor views that could easily justify some attitude. The gluten-free bread rivals what you'd find in dedicated bakeries, making their sandwiches a legitimate reason to visit beyond the coffee alone. This is the kind of place where you'll actually want to linger over a pour-over and watch the Rockland waterfront, not because it's Instagram-worthy, but because it's genuinely worth your time.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Discovered Rock City Coffee visiting family in Maine. I have tried a LOT of coffee in my 67 years, Rick City Owls Head Blend is the only coffee that I have under subscription. I live in Indiana and my monthly delivery of Rock City always makes my day. Great coffee, NEVER…
Fantastic gluten free bread - hearty and flavorful, probably the best I've ever had! Sandwiches were delicious and maple latte was perfect. Staff were super nice. Loved this non-pretencious easy going cafe with a bookshop as well!
Pastries all looked good and there was practically no wait time even though they were busy when I went! The coffee was delicious and everyone was very nice!
I'm addicted to DARK STAR and I have named my bass guitar after it. I do wish Rock City would have live music again. But I still love you.
Grab a great coffee and drink in the morning sea air and spectacular views of Rockland harbor.
Authentic Italian style espresso with a flavorful roast and great customer service.
