Cote’s Portland Café
1 Portland Sq, Westbrook, ME
Crema's Take
“Cote's is a beloved neighborhood café in Westbrook that's earned serious loyalty for their made-to-order sandwiches and breakfast items, where fresh ingredients and attention to detail really shine through (we're talking hand-crisped bacon, not microwaved). The vibe here works whether you're grabbing something quick for lunch or settling in for a slower coffee date, and the consistently enthusiastic reviews suggest this is the kind of place where both the food and the people behind the counter genuinely care about getting it right.”

I drove an hour to Portland for a Roast beef sandwich. I placed my order with a pick up time of 1:50, arrived at 1:52 super excited for my sandwich but unfortunately they made it at 1:30 and it was cold and soggy. Didn’t even eat it.
Super friendly and pleasant! One of my faves for sure. Food is amazing! Definitely a must if you’re in the area!
Just popped into this cafe for an early lunch and heck yeah, they deliver on a really good fresh sandwich. I had the BLT (no microwave bacon here!) with perfectly crisp bacon and just the right amount of crunch and toastiness to the bread. Tomato bisque was solid for a warm soup on a cool day, but that biscuit it comes with is the bomb dot com for biscuits. Really friendly service as the cherry on top. Highly rec this place for an affordable quick lunch option.
Tried a new place for eats in Portland in-between jobs and found Cote's Café in the 1 Portland Square building. They had decent reviews for their breakfast sandwiches. I opted for a burrito. Which comes standard with fresh tomatoes, home fries, a choice of salsas, and various meats (or alternatives) to pick from. The burrito alone would bring me back anyways, but they also serve Coffee By Design, AND the staff was really friendly and all thanked me for visiting. So that gets a positive review 🌯☕👌😎
I've been working upstairs from Cote's for a year and a half and had only heard wonderful things about them, so I had been looking forward to trying them out for the first time. HOLY COW. This sandwich was SO good that I immediately had to come here to write a review. This was a chicken Caesar salad on their honey wheat bread (custom order placed online). I can't get over how delicious this was. I could eat 6 more, but I guess I'll have to wait until next week. Don't hesitate to get to Cote's, the price is right for the gigantic, wonderful sandwich you get out of it!
