This buzzing coffeehouse serves some of Bangor's best espresso. Low-lit lamps, jazz in the background and some comfy armchairs make it a fine rainy-day retreat. There's good breakfast fare, baked goods and sandwiches too. To get here from West Market Sq, cross the Central St bridge and head uphill along Center St.
