Downeaster
355 Main St, Bar Harbor, ME
Crema's Take
“Downeaster is a charming local favorite in Bar Harbor that excels at both the quick caffeine fix and the lingering conversation—their thoughtfully named seasonal drinks like the Chickadee blend pair beautifully with inventive breakfast sandwiches on bagels that locals rave about. The shop balances genuine specialty coffee craftsmanship (reviewers praise their matcha lattes and creative frozen drinks) with a warm, family-friendly vibe, complete with local merchandise and pastries like their beloved cinnamon twists, making it the perfect pit stop before exploring Acadia or settling in for a proper breakfast.”

Cute shop, good coffee, the cinnamon twist was FANTASTIC! Also loved the local merch!
Everything was really good here! I got the “chickadee” flavored coffee and got the BLT breakfast sandwich on a bagel. They were nice enough to cut it in half when I asked. The sandwich surprised me with how good it was, the egg was perfectly cooked over easy. The young lady at the counter was nice and answered questions with a friendly demeanor. Next time I’m in the area I will be going back!
Downeaster was exactly what we needed before our day of biking in Acadia. We got an Americano, latte, and breakfast sandwich bagel with egg sausage and cheese. Very good! The inside had little curios for sale and bonus - they were pet friendly! We saw many cute dogs and accessories for dogs. They had local art, trinkets, cups, and more for sale. Service was good, they were working hard to crank out orders. The seating was limited, we snagged a table outside, but there are very few. It’s in a very cute location on the main road - highly recommended!
My sister and I discovered this place online and we were pleasantly surprised! My sister said her matcha latte was the best she’s ever had and the frozen hot chocolate was 10/10! Would 100% recommend this place to anyone! Plus it’s very cute inside!
If traveling or staying in the schoodic area this is a must stop for breakfast or a good coffee fix. Great small cafe in town a minute from the main road way around to the park. Service and ambiance was good. You can also buy other small items. I had a blueberry scone and iced latte with half and half. Iced latte was excellent. Blueberry scone was good if you like cinnamon in your scone so it was good just surprised to have cinnamon and not my preference but still good. They are offering some good quality items in this more remote area of the Acadia park area.
