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.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

I came to the Bar Harbor area for a group trip and ventured to Winter Harbor one day. We were all eager to find a good coffee shop and Downeaster was just what we were looking for. Highly recommend!
