Crema's Take
“Maine Cafe trades coffee shop basics for a full New England seafood counter, where the lobster rolls and crispy whole belly clams are the real draw—though inconsistency in both food quality and service speed suggests you're taking a gamble on any given visit. If you're willing to overlook spotty execution, the warm atmosphere and homemade pastries like lavender lemon bread make it a solid neighborhood hangout for a leisurely lunch rather than a quick caffeine stop.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

-- The Worst Lobster Roll I've Ever Had If you want the worst lobster roll of your life, The Main Café is for you. At first glance, there was barely any lobster meat, and the roll wasn't even toasted. When I picked it up, it was so soggy I could barely hold it together. One bite…
