This is simply my favorite coffee shop and has been for two years since we moved here. The servers and baristas are always friendly. The caffeine is always tasty and strong, I feel the best in the area. The food is fresh and delicious. Special shout out for the salmon sandwich, it rivals Jersey delis. Thank you!!

We happened to walk by and saw that it was packed. I looked up the reviews before entering, they were great. The interior was trendy, rustic, and industrial. There were seats outside and inside. There was a line but it moved quickly. I didn't realize it's a chain of about 11 locations in NH, MA, ME, NY, and VT. This cafe started in Manchester, VT in 1988. They're environmentally conscious and provide fresh food/drinks using local suppliers. Not only do they offer good food/drinks, they are a good company that is for the environment; I am for that. I had an iced latte and the Sunrise burrito. The burrito had eggs, quinoa, avocado, bacon, sweet potato, VT cheddar, and pico de Gallo. This was so good! One of the best burritos I've had in a long time. The service was friendly and fast. I wish we had this place near us! I would be there weekly lol.

Much to offer, The Works Café does. A hidden gem for those seeking nourishment, it is. A sausage, egg, and cheese upon a jalapeño bagel, I did order. Spicy, yet balanced. Savory, yet satisfying. A wise choice, indeed. Variety, the menu holds—bagels, smoothies, bowls, sandwiches, salads, and more. Whatever fuel your journey requires, here, found it shall be. Swift, the service was. Friendly, the staff remains. Reasonable, the price stood. Impatient, a Jedi is not—but skip the line, one can, through online ordering. Delivered to your starship via DoorDash, the meal may also be. Convenient, this is. Return, I shall. For in this café, the Force flows strong… and so does the coffee.

We visited this place a couple of times and cannot recommend more. Everything we tried was great. The ambience of the place and the fact that they source their ingredients from local vendors is cool. We had veggie burrito, chicken broccoli pesto Mac and cheese and paninis, everything was fresh and yummy. Their smoothies are amazing, no added sugars which is a healthy option. We tried their hot chocolate too which was pretty decent. I would definitely recommend this place.

Ate lunch here on a fall Monday afternoon (right after 12:00). The place was full and busy. Made our way to the counter to order. The food and service were great. We had the Dagwood sandwich, broccoli cheddar soup, and the albacore tuna melt. It was all quite tasty. They also have smoothies, salads, and breakfast all day. The only problem was finding a table. There is outdoor seating on the sidewalk out front. Definitely recommend you try it for lunch our dinner. We came back later and my wife had iced chai and said it was delicious. Regionally-sourced food is used.

Incredible bagels, especially the cheddar jalapeno as an egg sandwich ✨ they are not overly toasted and the bagels are not bland on their own. There are many healthy options available for any time of day, as well as grab-and-go goodies. I'm not a fan of the smoothies but this is one of my favorite places to frequent downtown.

Say you’re on your way back to Northern Maine from a holiday visit and you need somewhere to grab lunch and a mocha, what do you do!? Obviously you stop at the Works because not only was the mocha rich and delicious, they serve like 8 kinds of mac and cheese!? The lox bagel even had capers and everything. 10/10 for cozy vibes taking advantage of the classic New England brick interior. And all dishes were compostable, I cannot come up with a single suggestion for improvement.

The sandwich was delicious; I ordered the turkey, bacon, avocado. Nice balance of fresh ingredients. I'm only visiting, but the menu had so many other offerings I would've wanted to try. And outside seating is always a plus for me!
