Little Dog Coffee Shop

Been quite awhile since i stooped in, Definitely doesn't have the cozy home like vibe it used to. Now its cold and stale. Staff was rude as can be, like seriously, how about a smile or a "hi how are you?". Prices were more than starbucks and they messed up my order twice. You cant blame covid for bad service.

This place has the best atmosphere and the best coffee. It is a great and quiet place to go sit, sip your coffee and enjoy a delicious breakfast! They also, most days, have a good selection of sweets.

We were so excited to find a place with gluten free bagels and muffins! Our excitement waned quickly as it took 18 minutes from when we walked in the door to get two bagels. There was one person in line before us And there were 4 people behind the counter. These folks seemed to spend more time chatting among themselves than working on orders and "urgency" was certainly not a word they've heard before. On top of that, the bagel was so bad, we each spit it out. We've both been gluten free for many years and have had more than our fair share of horrible gluten free things but these bagels now have the dubious honor of being at the top of the list!

This is the second time I've gone and let me preface this by saying this place seems to have pretty good bakery items (crumb cake, regular bagels and carrot cake are ones I liked) and coffee ( I've gotten the iced chai and it's not too sweet which I appreciate) as well as hard-working people that try very hard to be fast and give good customer service. The atmosphere is good, usually pretty busy so be ready to wait (if you want fast, I recommend Dunkin).

The two stars comes from my dissatisfaction with a recent order. We got a raisin bagel with cream cheese and a breakfast sandwich with egg and cheese.
Neither item was beyond "okay" (in my personal opinion). The cream cheese didn't taste like anything to me or my partner. We are used to having a creamy cream cheese but the taste of this was very very subtle and so was the seasoning in the raisin bagel, both tasted like diluted versions of what I'm used to. Halfway through the raisin bagel, the taste started to shift towards sesame/everything? Which was really unpleasant and strange. I'm not sure if there was some cross contamination with a different bagel but either way I couldn't finish it and gave it to my partner who does like those types of bagels and she agreed that it tasted like sesame.
As for the breakfast sandwich on a plain bagel, the bagel itself was nice, it was toasted well, but the cheese and egg on it were just disappointing. The cheese itself was more sour than what I expected but it could very well have been a mistake in understanding what kind of cheddar it was, the biggest disappointment was the egg. It was like a mix of the microwaved eggs you get in fast-food and fried egg which I'm not sure how to describe. It was mostly whites and no seasoning I could taste.

Last thing, this place does have outside seating for you if you have a pet which is a plus.

We went to the cafe to see the new renovations and get breakfast and the overall experience was horrible. The seating is no longer as comfortable and the noise levels are so high that it was difficult to place our order, let alone talk to anyone. The first red flag was that no food or coffee products had a price next to them (their old board with that information has disappeared), and when we finally placed our order it was extremely overpriced. For only 2 sandwiches and a cup of coffee it was $24. It took over 15 minutes to get said sandwiches, which were pre-made and only had to be heated up in the microwave. The wait equalled what it would have been at a breakfast diner. The staff was also unfriendly and seemed in no rush to help the long line of customers. Extremely disappointing and certainly won't be going back again, thank goodness Brunswick has other options.

Great Roasted Vegetable Quiche today while looking out over Brunswick Maine Street. The renovations look great and there is plenty of space for everyone. Boardgame corner is a must play. Will have to check out the evening events coming up. The owner Mason is certainly doing a great job at bringing new life to the shop.

Meh. Disappointed that it's not the "Little Dog" that I used to know. :-/ Seems that they don't have gluten-free pastries nor even GF bread options or GF English Muffins reliably on hand -- so, will probably be seeking out another coffee spot for my "morning ritual". Sigh. Wonder if the cafe changed hands during the pandemic... ((ch-ch-changes...))

Really kewl atmosphere. As I sat drinking my coffee with my friend Gaby, the aromas of some wonderful smelling food permeated the space. I couldn't decide what to order.
I decided on a bagel with cream cheese, avocado and lox ... I thought a bit pricey until I saw it loaded with lox❗I could only eat a quarter of it at a time ... it was Devine❗❗💯
In this photo I had already picked off several pieces of lox as it was to high for me to bite❗🍴🍔

They recently had a COMPLETE makeover, I loved it the old way and I love it even more the new way!! I love the atmosphere, the dri ks and food!! Little dog is my go to place for studying, reading and meeting up with friends! 10/10 recommend 100 percent.

Never have I felt a more uncomfortable feeling then when I walked into this place. My family and I stopped in for coffee and it was like I was on the set of a new "hipster's only" sitcom. The looks from the other customers and a woman in her mid 40's (behind the counter, dark hair) were less then inviting, like as if we were lost and they were confused on why we were there. Did not feel welcomed in any way shape or form. We will not be going back.
