Black Fly Coffee Co.

Hadn’t been in for a while. Went with my sisters and we were very pleased! They’ve definitely taken it up a notch and the manager working was delightful. Welcome to Maine, Marry! Will be back to this spot soon

Great iced coffee! I am not a donut lover.. but their coconut donuts was AMAZING!

I was hoping this would be a great independent espresso shop, as this area really needs one. Unfortunately, so far I've had two underwhelming experiences here. Iced espresso drinks are watery with way too little ice, the espresso roast is a bit "brighter/lighter" than I prefer and the mocha is bland. The iced dirty chai is similar--very watery, didn't have any espresso in it (so not "dirty") and I was given regular cow milk instead of the almond milk I ordered, making it undrinkable for me. :( We also tried to order a latte, but they're out of the brown sugar cinnamon syrup. The baristas need additional training, which makes the lack of quality, flavorful ingredients more apparent. I am really hoping this place gets an overhaul, as I've been NEEDING (not *wanting*, it's a NEED) an espresso drive-thru since moving here from Seattle. It's in my blood! :) Please seek out a couple experienced baristas to lead and train your staff. If you're a coffee co that doesn't actually roast your own coffee, at least stock a darker, more robust roast for your espresso so your espresso-based drinks have more vigor. Also, a couple of the pastries on the drive-thru menu are ambiguous; I have no idea what they are solely by reading their names. Hamentashen? Rugelach? Ube cookies? Schnoobertubers? lol I want pastries. I love to eat. Please add a photo or illustration or some sort of context clues! :) I'm staying hopeful for now, as it's still early enough that this place has time to get it together/improve.

Food and drinks are amazing! I love iced coffee and it tasted deliciously awesome. Also recommend the vanilla bean freeze.

It's a drive thru - outdoor atmosphere 🤣
Excellent choices at a competitive price!

Nice coffee spot! Great tasting coffee, great donuts, and a wonderful experience. Would go back again! A side note, the place is small and I imagine the owners work together, just the two of them. They got busy right after we showed up and the place was cramped and I think this will become a friction point in the future. May need to hire another hand during peak times to mitigate wait times and too many people being smashed into a small space. Overall, wonderful experience and best of luck to you both. It was a courageous decision to open a business during COVID-19.

Good coffee, good service and a fair price. What else do you need in a coffee shop? They also had fresh donuts from a bakery in Bangor that were incredible. Brand new little shop currently set up for grab and go service. If I am looking for coffee and a pastry in Bar Harbor, ME again I will stop in to see Black Fly Coffee co.

Sometimes coffee places will offer breakfast bars, muffins, scones, something extra besides coffee and this place had that, but they weren't marked vegan and I was hungry and in a hurry and knew I could go elsewhere and not have to waste time figuring out what was what. So maybe they had a vegan food item, you can ask if you care to. But the coffee and tea we had was fine. It was raining and we were looking for a place to get out of the wind and rain, so we ducked in here thinking it was a sit-down place, but it's not.

Great new location in Holden! Iced coffee medium roast is delicious--I can't wait to try more.

Blueberry iced coffee with French vanilla, so good!!!! We came back every day!!!
