Busy place on a Saturday morning so ha e some time and enjoy the Good atmosphere and nice staff. The coffee was not robust for a coffee person like myself. It was quite middle of the road. The breakfast wrap hit the spot. A bit greasy from the cheese but overall nice flavor and portion. Wi-fi was stable and a nice place to do some work. There is outdoor seating, although not sure if there in the winter. Worth another trip to enjoy the space.

After several days of family vacation in Maine, we arrived a couple hours before our flights out of Bangor and needed to kill some time. We enjoyed our stroll around the small but pleasant downtown area of Bangor, but the highlight was stumbling upon Wicked Brew. Finding a good local coffee shop is typically how the family measures the success of exploring a new city, and across the board--from our coffee snobs to the tea drinkers--everyone found something for them. We ordered lattes, tea, strawberry lemonade, and a variety of pastries. The breakfast and lunch menu also looked fantastic, and it was a unique atmosphere.

Relaxed ambiance and with good drinks. Sandwiches are decent—nothing spectacular except that they are fresh.

Excellent all around. Location, vibe, staff, menu. Ive had breakfast and lunch here...both were outstanding. Highly recommend The Don for lunch. Coffee is first rate as well. Great place to spend an afternoon with your honey or do some work on your laptop. Youll enjoy it

Delicious latte and macchiato, really great breakfast sandwiches. I had the vegan option and it was so tasty! The vibe is great and staff were kind and helpful. Love the local art and antique furniture. Highly recommend coming here!

Quite simply, Wicked Brew offered some of the best coffee drinks I have had and this goes beyond Bangor. There was not bitterness in the coffee and the steamed foam was properly done. Secondly, the atmosphere is that coffee place we have all imagined. It feels homey without appearing to try too hard. If you want quality coffee this wins my summer 2020 northeast tour by far.

Love this place, super friendly staff. Great eclectic vibes. Food was good. They didnt have one of the ingredients for my order so they flagged me down and offered an alternative. They ended up making me something that wasnt even on the menu. Really great folks. Highly recommended

Coffee sounds fancy but honestly, our group loved the food more than the coffee. Breakfast sandwiches and wraps are absolutely delicious. Cooked perfectly. Coffee was good but not as strong as we were hoping for. 30 minute wait with no line for the coffee, 45 minutes for the food. Our orders all came at very different times so that was awkward. We will return on occasion for the food.

I absolutely loved Wicked Brew. I first stopped by because the girlfriend and I were staying at a rental for our vacation. Figured wed try the local breakfast spot. Boy am I glad we did.Lovely, trendy setting with potential live music which is always a plus. The food might take a while to come out, but a little patience goes a long way because that homefry special is out of this world. They have really cool choices for coffee, tea, and a few others. They even have lunch!

What an amazing coffee shop! From their staff to the food. Very friendly people, the eclectic ambience was great and relxing, and the food was phenomenal! We had some delicious lattes, the avocado tost with egg was out of this world, and a delicious breakfast wrap w/sausage.Too bad this place is so far away from home, but I will stop by every time I have the opportunity.Totally recommend!!

Super cozy cafe in Bangor! Great quality coffee and some of the most delicious pastries including a gluten free carrot cake that I was lucky to taste right when it came out of the oven! The decoration is very artsy and chill and the place is suitable for breakfast, work, date, whatever.. Service can be a bit slow sometimes but it definitely worth the wait!

This place is totally fab and a great place to come gossip with your gurl bestie. The interior design is like a home with some soft places to sit especially if your hiney is tired. The baristas are very sweet and you can get heavy cream in your drink or light if you are trying to maintain that shapely figure.

Vegan breakfast sandwich is delicious & their service kind but wow you really have to plan around the wait. The decor is amazing & it’s worth the time if planned!My husband & I ordered the same items:his visit was near 6 am & myself was 10 am. He waited 26 minutes & I waited 38 minutes 😳Delicious but quite the monkey wrench in your day if not planned accordingly.

They do coffee right. Light, medium or dark roast available. Being in Maine we went with the blueberry infused roast. It was very good! Smooth with a hint of blueberries.

Outstanding breakfast! Visiting from NC, came here with my family of 5 including 1 vegan teenager, 1 that is gluten free, and 1 that is incredibly picky about her coffee. They had something for everyone and the food was fantastic. Bagels were awesome and my wife loved the quiche. If youre looking for fast food dont come here. If youre looking for a high quality meal at a good price and a cool atmosphere this is the place!

A great casual spot. Small and cozy with comfortable seating options and plenty of eye candy. Their coffee is super and theres a terrific munchie selection...I especially liked the bacon cheddar chive scone! Dont pass this spot by.

Review №23

When I Google this coffee shop, I saw good reviews BUT what I didnt expect was for it to be the coolest place ever. When we first walked into the shop, it is located in the historical district so already awesome. However, the inside feels magical and awesome. The menu is brilliant and the wide selection of coffee and teas were amazing. Vegan/vegetarian friendly, but DID I MENTION YOU CAN HAVE A TEA PARTY?! Like cute tea pot and China glasses. I would absolutely recommend. New favorite place!

My favorite place in Bangor. The drinks are amazing, the baked goods are out of this world and the nicest staff. It is family owned and run business and you can tell that they have put their hearts into it.

Fantastic lattes, pumpkin spice... made with real pumpkin, no artificial flavors/syrup. My dad and brother had bacon, eggs, home fries and toast. They make their own sour dough bread. I had broccoli quiche and a brand muffin with currants. Breakfast was really delicious. The ambiance was lovely. Staff are super nice, attentive, and helpful. The dining area and bathroom are very clean and nicely appointed. Weve been going here for years. Will definitely make a return visit. They offer a punch card to get a free one. Highly recommend Wicked Brew!

The staff here is friendly and very helpful. They made me a custom mocha coffee that was delicious. The atmosphere was very relaxing. Some elderly men were playing with their guitars, practicing, which was really enjoyable. Will definitely stop by again next time I visit Bangor.

Wanted to give this place a chance as a small business. But after running out of food early, not being open on the weekend, and regularly taking 45 minutes (or more) for a to go order, I would NOT recommend this place. Placed a to go order and went in 15 minutes later to hear them just tell the kitchen about my to go order. This place needs some major organization

In town for business, I wanted to try a place for breakfast that was not a chain and the Wicked Brew Cafe delivered the goods. Cool and funky decor along with ample seating and free WiFi were a plus, but the coffee and breakfast wrap would bring me back. Go here for a nice change from the typical breakfast spot in Bangor.

Wicked Brew..... always amazing! Great food, LOVE my mocha morning drink and toasted Bagel with spinach, egg, tomato!!!Stopped by curbside (more than a few times), head to the Riverfront to social distance breakfast with a friend (1 car backed in, 1 car pulled in and empty space between... great breakfast, great views, great friend time!

How exciting to have a place like this up on Park St. As a Bangor native and former downtown business owner, it’s places like this that truly make this city a great place to live and come back to when someone like myself moves away. Delicious drinks and GF baked items, too!

We stopped in on a quiet Thursday morning and We loved this place. The atmosphere is comfy and warm with local art on the walls which I always appreciate.The coffee was delicious and hot which is perfect for chilly Maine days. The baristas were also really delightful. you could tell that there is a sense of comradery behind the scenes which makes the experience so much better.

My boyfriend and I found Wicked Brew Cafe on google while trying to find a place to get breakfast in Bangor. The food looked incredible in the pictures online so we decided to visit. The owner of wicked brew and his family/staff were a complete delight and told us a bit about their business. We placed our order and took a seat amongst the beautiful vintage furniture and artistic decor. The BEST part of all was the food, however. Their home fries were seasoned perfectly and they paired it with what I can honestly say was the best bacon I’be ever had. Along with that, were two massive slices of sourdough toast (my favorite). My boyfriend and I decided to take a risk and get something that wasn’t our usual drink order. We both ordered the Caramel Chameleon and it was delicious!Overall we had a fantastic experience at Wicked Brew Cafe and would highly recommend it to anyone in the Bangor area.

Good espresso based drinks. Excellent food. The dimmer lighting makes the place cozy but really irritates my poor eyesight. Definitely would recommend. If you want coffee Turkish or Greek style they do that too.

We had a great experience here. We arrived a few minutes before opening time on a Monday morning and they were still so friendly and helpful. We chatted about local attractions and things to do in the area. The coffee was fantastic; we tried the Maple Cinnamon Latte and a Cold Brew - both with Coffee ice cubes, which was a delightful bonus. My husband had the breakfast wrap (which he devoured before I could even take a picture) and said it was delicious. I would highly recommend and return if ever in the area again!

The first time I came here was after Covid so I have no before impression....but I will say that they remember my regular coffee order as well as my husbands, and their baked goods are divine. Im trying to lose weight but the rare carb exception is their bagels, scones, and breads.

Review №63

They go the extra the mile for their customers, and deliver high quality nutrient oriented food (they compost their food scraps, grow their own micro-greens as much as possible, have gluten-free options, a great variety of teas and coffee drinks as well as dairy-free milkish options and are willing to custom taylor a drink if you ask nicely.) Its always a happy when you go.

What a gem! Stumbled upon this little place for a sandwich during a road trip, and wow did we get lucky! Loved everything about this place. The sandwich was phenomenal (we had the Thunder Chicken), the baked goods and coffees were just as phenomenal, and best of all, the people who own the place are SO NICE. Its family run, locally sourced, and the family behind the counter are genuinely pleasant to their customers and to each other. Good vibes and good food!

Visiting from NJ and found this place on GF food app for breakfast/coffee. PHENOMENAL food, coffee and staff.There was a minor mess up with one of our breakfast plates, so we had to wait for it to be remade. Once we tasted our food we forgot about the initial error because it was so good!!! I’d sit here no matter the wait time to eat and drink here again! Staff was even kind enough to give us a free beverage for the food mess up. So nice!Definitely coming back again before we head home. They need to open in NJ! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Really fantastic coffee place with staff that really knows coffee. Family run business with really lovely staff, and for those folks who want a damn good tasting coffee, this is the place to go.It’s sometimes hard when I travel to find good tasting coffee, and I was really happy that this place fulfilled my standards.I came in and they made me a great decaf espresso + brewed coffee hybrid that was delicious, had nice body and was a pleasure to drink.Fun decor too, large selection of food and pastries.

Truly dope independent coffee shop. Comfy chairs, tasty food, coffee’s great, they will make you Turkish coffee from scratch with a fancy pot. Not a pretentious independent coffee shop, staff were friendly and kind. Only wish was an area with a bit more light.
