Perch Cafe & Bakery
11 Friendship Rd, Rockland, ME
Crema's Take
“Perch's buttermilk biscuits are legitimately worth the drive to coastal Maine, especially when stuffed with egg, bacon, and cheese—they're the kind of carb-forward anchor that makes you want to linger over your medium-light roast. The espresso work here is genuinely skilled, pulling smooth, balanced shots without the aggressive sourness or bitterness you get at places trying too hard, and the pastry case (cinnamon rolls, chocolate chip cookies, coffee cake) keeps delivering on that same quality-first promise. This is a slow-coffee-and-breakfast spot where every element, from the service to the roasting philosophy, aligns toward making you want to stay a while.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Slow-sit spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Best matcha & bagels around town!!! Cream cheese & bagel are fire 🔥
What a fantastic place! The latte I had was smooth, balanced, well-frothed, and delicious! The roast was a lovely medium-light with a slight berry note, without bitterness or acidity. The buttermilk biscuit was gooey on the inside, perfectly crisp on the outside, and delicious.…
Amazing, off the beaten path bakery in Waldoboro, Maine! Every baked treasure is a feast for multiple senses. I can attest for the buttermilk biscuits, cinnamon buns, spinach and ionion frittata and not to be missed chocolate chip sea salt cookie! Lynn and her son, Eli bring…
Great coffee shop and bakery! Their biscuits were absolutely delicious and the chocolate chip cookie was huge and so good! We had wonderful coffee and service as well. And do not skip the cinnamon rolls!
Hidden gem of the area, and a much appreciated safe space in an otherwise weird leaning state. The breakfast egg, bacon and cheese biscuit slaps harder than a drag show on a Saturday night. Do not skip it. Coffee is fine, the tea selection is great, and the space is nicely…
This place is way overpriced! I bought 2 pieces of coffee cake and 2 cookies and it cost $24! The pieces of coffee cake were small about 2”x2” and had no taste at all. I love supporting local businesses but I will never go back here.
