Ugly Duckling Maine
246 Danforth St, Westbrook, ME
Crema's Take
“Ugly Duckling Maine is a warmly chaotic neighborhood gem where the staff's genuine kindness matches the creativity of their seasonal drinks like brown sugar honeycomb lattes and adventurous breakfast fare featuring house-made English muffins and truffle hash browns. Whether you're grabbing coffee quick or settling in at the bar for the full experience, this Westbrook spot strikes that rare balance of being both a serious about-coffee destination and a relaxed, family-friendly hangout where mistakes are handled with grace and pastries (especially the legendary cream puffs) are genuinely worthy of the hype.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

We had breakfast to go many times here but finally went in and had breakfast at the bar. The staff were all so friendly and playful. We had the dirty tots, No.2 and a croque monsieur. We also ordered six of the english muffins to go to share with my in-laws that we were seeing…
