Tandem Coffee and Bakery

I am so glad I don’t live near this place. I would be there every day. First time we drove by, the line was 50 people long. We just had to try it after we saw the line. We went after lunch on Wednesday and there was no line. Everything we tried was awesome. My favorite was blueberry scone and loaded biscuit. I tried their latte. It was beautifully presented but I wouldn’t go there for latte.

We were in town for 4 days and visited this place 4 times. What. A. Gem. We tried every biscuit offering available, some sesame banana cake, and lots of espresso. Everything was incredible. We waited in line on the weekend mornings, but were always able to grab a seat at the bar or little corner nook. If you are getting a biscuit sandwich - PLEASE add the garlicky greens and chorizo. So good.

Best Latte with art, aromatics and ambience! The coffee has a unique toasted flavor. It brings back old memories. They don’t ask if I want skim milk because you don’t. Good location and nice open area to hangout and decompress. The Banana cake looks very interesting. The music is not too loud. I kind of like this place!

The cutest cafe with homemade biscuits, breads, and breakfast sandwiches. This is just one of those places you want to instagram because it's so cute and authentic (the staff goes on a retreat, you don't hear of many cafes doing that). Everything is clearly scratch made. I am currently dreaming of those biscuits. I don't even drink coffee but it made me want to.

The coffee was good but the baked goods were even better. My iced coffee was probably one of my favorites I've had. I also had a biscuit with jam and butter. In my opinion it was a little heavy on the butter but I think thats just my preference. My husband had a jalapeno cheddar biscuit which was great and just the right amount of spicy. The atmosphere is fun and there was a line out the door when we got there so we knew we were in store for some good stuff!

Top of the heap for coffee shops in Portland, and that’s saying a lot since the competition is fierce. Tandem’s coffee is second to none, the baked goods are uniquely incredible and the atmosphere is cool and chic. Their awesomeness causes Tandem to be crowded during peak hours (especially weekend mornings) so plan your visit accordingly. But even if you find yourself standing in line, know that it’ll be worth the wait.

One of the best coffee joints in Portland. The staff clearly know their coffee and care about making a decent cup. Even a basic Americano was expertly pulled and carefully poured over. The building looks like an old gas station, but it's been converted really well to allow outdoor seating and plenty of parking.
Stylish interior and fair pricing make this a must visit for coffee lovers in this part of Maine.

It’s just amazing place to get tasty eats!!!

What can I tell about Tandem, as a newbie to the city 2 years back was looking to get some good and strong coffee in the morning as I live on caffeine rush..;)

One fine morning after my regular morning Crossfit class visited Tandem and had their famous egg & cheese biscuit and a 3 shots latte, simply hooked on it to it!!

Pistachio cake, jalapeño cheddar biscuit egg & cheese biscuit and special baked cakes are always a treat to the hungry stomach..:)

Try anything over there and you will not be disappointed at all, great delicious food and beverages.

Staff is super friendly and this place has got some amazing seating, you will love the atmosphere. Thank you Tandem for everything you do!!!

Mediocre at best. I ordered the sausage, egg and cheese biscuit and the biscuit was beyond hard. It felt like I was chewing through pretzels on either side. Seemed like they made the sandwich at 5 this morning and just let it sit out. The latte I got was pretty decent but it wasn't particularly hot when I received it. Hopes for a good breakfast and coffee were definitely perpetuated seeing how many people were there but overall massively disappointing after having to wait in line for close to 15 minutes

Hip place in the downtown Portland. Outside table sitting area is enough to have several groups with shades. Fresh pastries and freshly roasted coffees. Very pet friendly and family friendly place.
