Precipice Coffee
56 Deane St, Bar Harbor, ME
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Bar Harbor, Precipice Coffee is a roastery-café hybrid that's earned nearly perfect reviews for good reason—they roast their own beans and craft house-made syrups (think apple cinnamon and Maine maple) that elevate their espresso drinks into something genuinely memorable. But what truly sets this spot apart is their commitment to pairing stellar coffee with equally impressive fresh-baked pies, especially their famous wild blueberry, making it feel less like a typical coffee stop and more like a cherished local gathering place where every detail, from the aroma to the atmosphere, reflects real care and craft.”

The lattes are good but the most memorable item was definitely the wild blueberry pie slice I ordered! Will definitely order a full size pie next time!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Visit Spot for Incredible Coffee, Fresh-Baked Treats, and True Sustainability This coffee roaster and coffee-and-pie shop is a true gem. The moment you walk up, the aroma of freshly roasted beans tells you you’re in for something special. Their coffee is consistently top-tier—smooth, flavorful, and clearly crafted by people who take real pride in their roasting. They’re also proudly solar powered and committed to sustainability, which makes every cup feel even better. It’s refreshing to support a place that not only delivers great products but also cares about doing things the right way. While there’s no dine-in seating, it doesn’t matter—you’ll happily take your cup to go once you taste it. Their espresso drinks, pour-overs, and brewed coffees all highlight the beans instead of masking them, and every cup is reliably excellent. It was so great to purchase a bag of beans of the drip coffee we had! The pies are outstanding—flaky, buttery crusts with fillings that are homemade and thoughtfully balanced, and made with Maine made ingredients. And it doesn’t stop there. They offer a rotating selection of other sweet and savory treats that are just as impressive, from pastries to small bites that make it hard to choose just one. Get a cookie for sure! This place has quickly become a go-to for anyone who loves exceptional coffee, fresh, high-quality baked goods, and businesses that put sustainability front and center. If you’re anywhere nearby, it’s absolutely worth the stop.
Amazing start to our Maine trip! We left the airport and headed straight for Acadia National Park but had to stop here first—and I’m so glad we did. Ironically, this spot shares its name with our first hike in the park, which was epic! The baristas were incredibly friendly and even gave us insider tips for our visit to Acadia. I also met the owner, who lives right behind the shop and clearly pours his heart into every roast. His passion for creating quality coffee and an authentic atmosphere truly shows. Fantastic service, great energy, and phenomenal coffee. Highly recommend!
What a lovely little stop! The coffee was amazing 😍 which isn’t a surprise because they roast their own beans and make their own syrups. I got the Apple cinnamon syrup and my 10 oz latte was delish. Super friendly staff! For my vegans, they had alternative milks! (No vegan bakery items but, let’s be honest, we don’t need the extra calories). Great little walk in spot on your way to an Acadia adventure! Also, compostable cups!
Absolutely amazing! I got a cold brew with their house made Maine maple and oh my god it was amazing. Their blueberry pie is also delicious! Atmosphere was super cute and staff were amazing! High recommend!
