Maine’s Best Cup of Coffee Can Be Found in Portland

A popular Portland coffee shop is receiving considerable praise for its delicious java drinks.

The legendary magazine Reader's Digest recently published a list of some of the country's best coffee shops. The list includes the number-one spot in every state. Getting the call for Maine was the one and only Bard Coffee.

Located in the heart of Portland's Old Port district, Bard Coffee has been serving delicious lattes, pour-overs, teas, and treats since opening some years ago. The trendy cafe is a perfect spot to get your daily buzz, whether you're on the way to work or getting ready for a day of Portland sightseeing.

Bard prides itself on its coffee. Not only is it great-tasting, but the shop is very mindful about the sourcing of its beans. Many regions are typically represented on the menu, with flavor, aroma, and sustainability always in mind. You can read more about their java mission on their website.

Bard's popularity is hard to miss. The coffee shop is always buzzing throughout the day. It really hops during the summer months, considering its ideal location for tourists enjoying Portland's major shopping district.

Here is a little of why Reader's Digest selected Bard Coffee as the best in Maine.

The place is named for the Celtic order of poets who composed and recited verses celebrating the exploits of chieftains and heroes, and likewise, Bard’s self-proclaimed mission is to tell the story of each cup of coffee they serve, promising a total coffee experience.

Now this is how you know Bard is all about their coffee. It's all the little things that add up to make every cup and experience at Bard extra special. It also doesn't help that their coffee is just damn good.

Congrats to Bard Coffee on the wonderful national attention. It's always great to see a small business get the recognition they deserve.
