Very rude staff. Saw the reviews, so decided to come here to pickup a coffee. I came here with my service dog, right away they said no dogs allowed no matter what. I told them I'm just picking up a coffee and that my dog is a service dog. Still rules are rules, they said if I left my dog outside I can order. Your not the only coffee in town, Goodluck with such a bad attitude. I will let all my friend know when visiting Maine not to come here.

I got a dirty chai tea latte (hot) and it was very good and creamy with the oat milk in it. Very busy coffee shop so my coffee did take a little while but it was well worth the wait.

So happy we found this place early in our Portland trip! The cappuccino is the best I've ever had anywhere. The iced oatmilk dirty chai is happiness in a cup. Do yourself a favor and buy the cardamom bun - superb. Friendly staff and great location.

When I go back to Portland I’d definitely go back there. I was driving to Orono from Boston and stopped in Portland to get coffee, and the first sip of the light roast coffee I got from Bard convinced me it was so much worth it to search for a roaster to get coffee from. I’ve tried coffee from many roasters, and while generally they serve excellent coffee, coffee at Bard stands out among roasters too. Will definitely go back when I’m in the area!

This place is awesome. So much better than Starbucks any day. The chi tea latte was the best ever.

I love this place for its coffee. The really know their game. The barista art is the icing on the cake. Once my brother said that coffee like you get it here is a different beverage. Nit like normal coffee. Cone here and you’ll understand. I once thought Starbucks was this place. Once you’ve been here, Starbucks sucks. Highly recommended place.

Expect a line but expect great service and a delicious drink to follow. Ordered a cortado and it came out perfect. The cashier was super nice and personable and made the visit more enjoyable. They also have bags of coffee and some merch for sale too. Really cool place and will definitely be back again.

Great little coffee shop in downtown Portland. Staff were kind and helpful. I really loved the effort put into doing latte art on every drink for dine in and take out, even the hot chocolate! Everything was delicious!
