Luncheonette
147 Cumberland Ave, Portland, ME
Crema's Take
“Luncheonette is a lovingly run neighborhood gem where the owners Angela and Alex are behind both the counter and the kitchen, crafting thoughtfully made breakfast, lunch, and pastries in a space that feels like stepping into a vintage-inspired friend's living room. The compact layout—just a handful of intimate tables and a tiny counter—creates an intentionally cozy atmosphere that's perfect for lingering over coffee or squeezing in a quick bite, and their clearly labeled vegan options show the same care that goes into every plate. This is the kind of place locals guard like a secret, where warm hospitality and genuine passion for good food make even a casual visit feel special.”
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.

Luncheonette is one of those cozy, hidden gems that I don’t actually want to talk about; I want to drop by and get to sit at our fav table! And they have such cute little tables and the music/vibe is impeccable! Their hot plates, sandwiches, salads and desserts are all…
