We love Tandem! Portland is a favorite spot overall and the city can do no wrong by me. Great space, low key ambience and a true passion for great coffee. We had β€œcortados” and went back for a second round. We love the location and nice outdoor picnic tables. We had a super sunny day for our visit and would suggest a stop when you are in town.

Teeny coffee shop and roasters putting out some derisively good coffee. Baked goods from their bakery up the hill. Excellent service with baristas who know their way around the pull.

Cute coffee shop with Portland character. Beautifully decorated. We got the feta apple scone and the cheddar jalapeno biscuit with coffee. I never had a cordato before so I got 5o try something new. A quiet place to enjoy coffee in the morning.

The best coffee shop in Portland, with the friendliest staff and great taste in music. Im a huge fan of any place with baristas who are willing to engage in thoughtful conversation instead of just being aloof and condescending. Dont sleep on the chocolate chip cookie either!

This is the original roastery and shop. The space is bright and airy. Its a great setup to chill and relax. The espresso is amazing. They pull it just right such that its not too bitter or sour. Cheers!

Loved the coffee, friendly service, cool decor and that it had outdoor seating (for our pup). Wish they had a bit more food/pastry options though, but definitely worth the visit for your caffeine needs!

A great atmosphere. The people are wonderful and very welcoming. Our grandson LOVED the sea-salted choc chip cookie. The baked goods are excellent. We will be back. I had a delicious house coffee, blackπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ’―

Needed a place to write and tried this place for the first time. I was short on change but they served me anyway. Good people, good environment, and tasty food. Definitely will be back.

So much energy from the coffee it’s like I’m two people riding on a tandem bicycle. the breakfast sandwich is the best thing I’ve ever tasted as far as breakfast sandwiches go if you can ever get it. Limited supply :p so get up early if you want that buttery biscuit B.B.

Review β„–19

I expected the good coffee but was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast sandwich. A simple sausage egg and cheese sandwich that greatly exceeded the sum of its parts. Both were delicious.

Tandem has some of the best coffee Ive had anywhere. They really know what theyre doing, they obviously LOVE what they are doing, and their whole operation is just so cool. I highly recommend Tandem to anyone who likes coffee :).

Coffee a bit bitter for my taste. No cold brew. But the nectarine scone with black tea glaze is out of this world

Review β„–22

The coffee: excellent! Best I have had in a long time: didnt taste burned, didnt taste watered down, just a hint of sweet apple, sweet berries, and some herbs. It was delicious! I want more. This 8 ounce Americano was done perfectly. The coffee was roasted to perfection!

The best espresso I have ever had! I bought the beans to make at home before even owning am expresso maker! Great vibes!

Review β„–24

Friendly staff, great coffee. Why only two kinds of beans on pourover at a time though?? doesnt make sense for the roaster location - you should be able to try everything!

Review β„–25

Coffee was decent, but nothing special. Not a lot of variety either. Its also very small and tightly packed. Did appreciate the eco-friendly cups.

Si
Review β„–26

The coffee is wonderful.. however the size of the cup is awkward when in the car. The cup isnt tall enough and the rim sits below the cup holder wall.. so, when you go to grab the coffee, you are somewhat grabbing the coffee by its lid, while trying to drive. Its definitly designed for sitting in the shop or foot traffic, but not for travelling via car.

Review β„–27

Delicious coffee, I smelled it for 5 minutes like it was my girlfriend.. Im a no cream no sugar guy, so I need a coffee that has flavor and kick.. And this has both, great stuff.. A little pricey but understandable.

Cool vibe, really friendly and helpful staff, and the coffee is really good. I purchased a bag of the β€œTime and Temperature” blend and have been enjoying it. The prices are a bit high, but it’s coffee, so they certainly aren’t alone in having high prices. Anyhow, go check it out if you’re in Portland or near Portland.

Review β„–31

A nice little coffee shop with probably some of the best coffee Ive ever had. Im a simple black coffee drinker so I didnt see what they had in the way of fancy foofoo drinks. Only downside was I thought it was a little out of the way, but it was worth the walk.

Review β„–32

Out of the world scenes. The Everything scone with cream cheese is true heaven. Followed by the kale scone. Top it off with the West End Blues coffee and you have arrived at the best place for coffee & scone in Maine!

The best mocha I have ever had. Not too sweet, the perfect chocolate flavor. Cute little shop, very clean and tasteful. A real find, check it out.

Neat place with great coffee and pleasantly unique atmosphere. I enjoyed chatting with Adam, who informed me of their second location in the West End that also houses a bakery.

Honeymooning in Portland and this was our first stop. Superb coffee, adorable ambience, and outstanding service. Barista was taking a nasty call from an irate customer, handled it with poise and grace, all while servicing several guests in a timely fashion. Impressed all around! A must when visiting.

Review β„–36

I drove to Tandem this morning with my dog, and was pleased to find dog-friendly outside seating. The coffee was very good and the slice of coconut tea cake was huge (we shared it 3 ways), and delicious. The staff was very friendly, and there was even a place to tie the dog up while getting my order. Two coffees and the tea cake were $8.50, which was very reasonable.

Call me a peon but this place is best for baked goods. The coffee seems overpriced, mainly due to quantity for cost. The food makes it well worth a visit and is great for on the go.

I have nothing but good things to say about the tandem coffee shop experience! everyone who works there is incredibly warm and friendly-- they cultivate a real community feeling in their cozy, beautiful, sun-lit space. i especially love that it attracts firemen and artists alike, all drawn like moths to the AMAZING coffee and friendly ambiance. try the iced malt coffee (its TO DIE FOR!) or the lakehouse blend (if you like it hot). you wont be disappointed!

My friend gave me a bag of coffee from Tandem. It changed my whole view about coffee. I realize that I never knew anything about the coffee bean itself or the process. I am on my way shortly to learn more.....
