Flatiron Coffee Bar
594 Congress St, Portland, ME
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a distinctive building in Portland's Flatiron district, this espresso-focused coffee bar has baristas who genuinely make you feel welcome—they'll compliment your earrings and remember your order. The space itself is a draw, designed like a mini art gallery that doubles as a cozy café, and their red bean donuts and pastries are serious enough to ruin you for everywhere else.”

Cute coffee bar! The barista was so friendly and complimented my partner and I’s earrings. I got a cold brew and it was delish.
I love having a coffee shop so close to work! Service is fast and reliable and the coffee and pastries are well made, but I wish the menu was a little more expansive. The baristas informed me they cannot do a half caf latte and I never see savory pastries, only sweet (though the savories might be sold out by the time I get there). Great quick stop and I’m very happy that there’s a coffee shop back in the space!
This little cafe was a great place to start a day in Portland. The atmosphere is super cute, and the red bean donuts have ruined all other donuts for me. So delicious! There was a decent amount of seating, indoors and outside, and comfortable space between the tables so you don’t feel like you’re sitting on top of anyone else. It was a little on the pricier side - like Starbucks pricing. The staff didn’t seem like they were super happy to be there, so maybe they should get paid more?
Highly recommend when in the area , great coffee spot in a cool unique building . It was our go to when staying at the Westin near by . Check it out when in Portland, you won’t regret it!
I like how they design this coffee shop. It’s like a mini art gallery/museum and a coffee shop at the same time. Coffee, pastries, and gelato is good too.
