Great place to have some coffee, beer, lunch, snack, read a book, play one of their many game options, have a book club meeting and etc.I was so happy that they still had some pumpkin sauce for lattes. It was delicious.They also sell local bakeries goodies. Had a breakfast sandwich (available until 11:30am), on a Rose Foods bagel. Not the biggest fan of those bagels, would try the sandwich again if they change them.

Really nice atmosphere, broad options menu, everything I tried has been quite tasteful.The coconut water is on a specific refrigerator that makes it PERFECT for summer consumption.

Quill is the perfect place to hang out and get some work done or catch up with friends, and they always seem to have a book I want!

Friendly service, delicious things, good vibes, a pleasant roomy space. I like how you dont feel jammed into a tiny space like a lot of coffee shops. Theres a variety of seating in different areas from tables and chairs to cozy couches and since its a bookstore you get to look at a wall of books from wherever you are which is always a plus in my book. 😄

Went in for a light breakfast. The food and beverages were nice. Good breakfast sandwich. It was early and there were 3 people including us. The music was really loud. We asked the person working if she could turn it down a little. She said yes, but did not. We asked again and she got pretty snooty. When she came back to the tabke she told us if we didnt like the music we could sit outside. Too bad her attitude took away from a nice place.

I really love this cafe. The people who work here are amazing, the food is scrumptious and the drinks are yummy. Their everts are fun and occasionally they have really great comedians. Totally recommend to all.

The apple ricotta toast is unreasonably good! The staff is the funnest! The atmosphere is perfectly versatile! The events are well thought out! Basically, this place is the best thing to come to Westbrook for. Also, tip the servers generously because they deserve it!

Love quill! All the staff are super nice! Incredibly queer friendly space, lots of great events happening weekly!The coffee and tea drinks are awesome.The food is great, but on the pricier end in terms of cafe foods, but worth it a lot too.If youre looking for a fun thing to do, try their board game night, grab a coffee or a beer on tap and play some games!Also, prosecco on tap is always exciting!

The hummus plate and farmhand sandwich were delicious! I also had a very well made cappuccino. The space is big and bright with fun artwork on the walls. But dress warm in the colder months, the cement floor keeps it on the cooler side.

Good folks hang out there!!! Sylvia is a great barista and Sylvias Mother was a favorite song of mine (circa 1972).Management issue.

Review №16

Quill is one of my favorite places in the Greater Portland area. The atmosphere is unbeatable. Ive been returning weekly since it opened. They have fantastic book and drink selections, a full event schedule, and an excellent staff. Ive rarely felt so comfortable and welcome in another store. Their Board Game Nights have become the highlight of my week. I strongly suggest you check them out

I love Quill! I can never leave without buying at least one book. Wonderful atmosphere and great service. I highly recommend their maple latte, harvest salad, and turkey pesto panini.

Review №18

A great place to have an after work/ escape from life big kid snack, read a book, and pretend like you dont have responsibilities. Very chill, very creative. Great food, drinks, and tunes. Small but decent book selection that will likely grow over time as the space can afford more books because of its size. A huge departure from the average Westbrook faire, and wonderfully so.

Review №19

This is quite the hidden gem! I stumbled upon Quill when I was walking back to my car from House of Pizza and I couldnt be happier with the discovery. The place is huge and properly air conditioned, the food is SO good, and the drinks are just what you ordered. But more than that is the staff - top notch! Always smiling and attentive.They also have a bunch of events and live music, such as game night every Wednesday; they do have games on tap that you can play any night though!Ive yet to be unimpressed.

Quill Books is a wonderful place to pick up a book, get a coffee or beer, or just hang out! Community bookstores like this are such an important part of any town, and I was just thrilled to see this one open in Westbrook. Highly recommended for shopping, eating and hanging out!

Quill has a great selection of new and used books, food (vegan options too), coffee drinks, beer and wine. The atmosphere is comfortable and child friendly. They host a variety of events - from crafts and live music to Books in the Brook and board games... Westbrook is lucky to have this little gem!

Review №27

Great coffee shop / cafe / bar - great staff, tasty baked goods, sandwiches, and other small plates.Grab a latte in the morning, a beer with lunch, a glass of wine with dinner, and a used book to go along with each meal - its all right here. Very family friendly, lots of space to sit, and overall a great atmosphere. Great place to work or study during the day, too.They also have a great selection of board games (and board game nights on Wednesdays) - everything from Boggle to Ticket to Ride to Dominion to Settlers of Catan.

Quill is such a lovely, friendly space! Its so nice to have a locally-owned bookstore in the area where I can camp out for a day and work. The amazing food and drinks are an added bonus that I couldnt be more thrilled about!

Thoroughly enjoy the peaceful setting here on a weekday morning. Plenty of seating outdoors and in. Browse for a book or work on their WiFi. Options include coffee and Sandwhiches for the morning and beer taps for after work. Always a recommended spot to visitors in the area.

ウエストブルックの1番好きなレストランですよ!Quill has, hands down, the best curated used book collection I’ve ever seen. Top it off with incredible sammies, coffees, beers, wines, board games, events, and crepes (those Maine blueberries!), and you’ve got yourself one of my favorite bookstores/coffee shops of all time!

Most inclusive bookstore I know of! The owners, Matthew and Allison, really put consideration into the books on their shelves and they create incredible community by hosting board game nights, live jazz, readings, and a whole host of other fun and inviting events.

Review №36

Incredible addition to Westbrook. The fact that there are so many events here makes this place far more than a simple book store cafe.

Review №37

Great place and atmosphere. We go there 2-3 times a week to play games there. They have amazing food and their crepes are to die for! Be sure to try their spicy grilled cheese, pesto chicken panini, potato knish, salads, and bluberry crepes!

Already my favorite coffee shop in New England! It’s cozy, welcoming, affordable, and has great food and books. It’s LGBTQ friendly and the owners have made it a great space for all kind of arts, politics, and game.

Review №64

I love this place from the minute I walked in. You can just immediately tell how much thought has gone into the place. I spent hours at the bar, trying Prosecco cocktails, espresso drinks and some of their cheese and charcuterie. Everything was spectacular! They have tons of boardgames, not your average monopoly and Uno either, but really good strategy games that you can congregate with friends and play for hours. There is a chalkboard with community activities almost every night of the week- something for everyone. I cant recommend this place enough. If I could live inside it, I would!

Review №68

These folks are absolutely the best new thing in town. 1) Great coffee, chai, pastries, toasts (eg avocado, or apple/brie/honey, or some spicy peanut butter thing). And... I dunno, a kindness board? You can buy a credit for some menu item to leave up on the board for someone else to take if they need it that day and dont have the resources. Brilliant. 2) Marvelous and growing book selection (mostly used but with some new stuff by local authors). I came in for caffeine my first time, and left 90+ minutes later with 5 books. 3) Games games games to play while hanging out! This includes family classics (monopoly, scrabble), my kind of board games (Catan, Betrayal at House on a Hill, Tsuro), numerous smaller games and card games (Hanabi, bananagrams), and some new titles Ive been wanting to try (Azul). Overall- yay!
