The Crooked Mile Cafe
8 Milk St, Portland, ME
Crema's Take
“Crooked Mile is a bustling neighborhood gem where the breakfast sandwiches are genuinely hefty and shareable, and the staff moves with the kind of friendly efficiency that makes regulars out of people working nearby. The energy here leans cozy-meets-lively rather than quiet, with a notably clean, welcoming vibe that draws in everyone from commuters grabbing a quick cappuccino to travelers looking for the real Portland breakfast experience. It's the kind of place where generous portions and speedy service are the rule, not the exception.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

I saw that the google AI summary; it's wrong, dead wrong. The service is quite fast; I work nearby and sometimes call in an order, sometimes I drop by on my way to work; it's always fast enough that I'm not late even when I don't call in. Fast, good, very good pricing for 2025…
Delicious breakfast, portions are hefty so you could probably split. Delicious coffee. Would recommend!
Awesome place to relax and chill. Really fun gear food. Bustling with energy and really friendly staff. Amazing service and great place to grab breakfast or brunch. Must go places while in Portland
Great coffee shop and restaurant. Ordered a coffee, iced chai latte, bagel sandwiches, and a breakfast burrito as scrambled eggs due to a gluten allergy. All were delicious.
The breakfast sandwich was pretty good. English muffin with bacon egg and cheese. The cappuccino was rubbish. It was a little hot, almost burnt. It was basically a latte with a quarter inch of poorly stemed foam. No body and not sweet like you would expect from properly steamed…
Very small hidden gem, we were here when our cruise ship was docked here, very quick service, friendly helpful staff, soo many options, it was great, lots of coffee options as well, very clean restaurant, indoor and outdoor seating as well as barstools in the window. Clean…
