Coffee Hound

Thank you Unilocal-​ers. A coffee shop that sells one of the best lobster rolls in town? Who would have thought? Love the vibe in here. Small place, there’s about 4 or 5 spots you can sit in. They have wonderful selection of coffee and hot drinks.

I rode the hype train to the Coffee Hound Lobster Roll stop, hopped off and thoroughly enjoyed it. I 100% recommend the lobster rolls here, I came back multiple times before my trip to Bar Harbor ended just to grab another one!
I’m not much of a coffee person, but my significant other loved every coffee she tried here. I did get a slushy type drink with blueberry and lemonade maybe? Cadillac Cooler I think it was called, and I thought it was good.
Also, grab a few blueberry walking pies, I think I had one every day I was in Bar Harbor and loved it.
Would recommend this place for sure.

This is my very short review of their lobster roll. It was the most delicious food I tasted the entire weekend I was in Maine. It was very simple; lobster, crispy bread, some chives or parsley (not sure what it was) and some simple seasoning. Bag of chips included. Perfect for eating while strolling along the pier.

Delicious!
I had the flat white and asked for some local maple syrup as my sweetener. This place was so good and if we had stayed longer j would’ve come more often.
The coffee menu was amazing and had a plethora of options in cold & hot coffees with a touch of local flavor. It was a small location and more of a take n go feel instead of a hang out and work on your laptop feel. The décor was true to its name: decorated with a lot of dogs drinking coffee on the walls.
Definite must if you want really good coffee!

Acadian Turtle Mocha is the most delicious hot drink I have ever had in my life. Cute shop, great coffee!

My husband and I strolled in to try their coffee on a foggy, Tuesday morning. The medium Acadia blend has a fantastic nutty taste and the chocolate chip cookie ranks amongst the best I had. The fun interior is appropriately decorated with paintings of dogs drinking coffee :)

The coffee was fine, but nothing more. A smaller selection of pastries than we hoped for, but it looked like they had more to offer in the way of Lobster rolls. Given the number of other coffee shops in sight, I feel as if they still need to sharpen their game a bit.

I tried a few different coffees from here when I visited and they were all awesome! I’m a big fan of cold brew and there’s was really good and that’s coming from someone who is really picky :) I enjoyed their cherry something or other iced coffee with the amaretto in it, so delicious. It was a little sweet for someone who usually drinks black coffee, but it was a nice change of pace.
All the employees seemed super happy and the vibe was super cute. It was definitely a place I wish we would’ve spent a little more time, maybe hung out here on a couple of mornings or something. I’ll definitely be back again next time I visit Bar Harbor!

I give this place a five star for two reasons… one is their dark roast coffee (whole bean) is one of the best coffee blends I’ve ever had and I’ve had my fair share. A blend of three coffee bean origins which is not easy to do and get such a great result only shows their knowledge of coffee and not just some hack as many coffee houses/café’s seem to be.
The second yet main reason is their incredible customer service attitude, especially Chris, incredibly upbeat and attentive to each customer’s needs. I love talking coffee like some guys talk sports and it was a pleasure to converse with Chris whose coffee knowledge was very impressive.
This is our new must come back destination when we return next year.

I would come to Coffee Hound every morning if I worked in Bar Harbor. The coffee brews are solid, as well as the pastries. For a treat, they also offer a variety of specialty coffee-​based drinks, like Rocky Road, and even a lobster roll.

Coffee Hound is a small skinny spot on Main Street. They offer a few seating options, but we came for the blueberry pocket to go. We located those in a clear pastry case by the counter, labeled «Traveling Pie Maine Blueberry.» At $ 3 iirc apiece, they seemed a tad slim for the price.
We enjoyed them the next morning as we watched the sunrise over Cadillac Mountain. They were tasty, but the pastry to filling ratio was a bit high.
4 stars for the Coffee Hound; 3 stars for the pies, for a 3.5 average.

Everything was amazing! The best Lobster Roll in Maine. The bread was warm and it complimented the cold Lobster perfectly. The Clam Chowder was very good as well although I will say the underwhelming size of the container is disappointing in comparison to other places in the area. The Flat White coffee is so amazing It took me an hour to drink it as I wanted to enjoy every moment of it. Excellent customer service as well as they cleared up a small misunderstanding in no time. Overall, this should be the first, and last place you visit before leaving Bar Harbor. Highly recommended!

So we did our yearly trip to Bar Harbor. It drizzled on the way up, while we were there and on the way back.
The high point of the trip was Coffee Hound. Nice coffee but really perfect blueberry muffins. Only way to have better is to make it yourself

Unilocal pointed us in the right direction again! Based on the reviews I read, we decided to give them the opportunity to impress us. Well, impress us, they did. Their shop is small. Not much seating is available. We were lucky to grab two spots while we there. Did not want to eat outside because it was raining.
#1 on my list to try was their Lobster Roll! Found it hard to believe that a tasty Lobster Roll could be found in a coffee shop. Have to say that it was one of the best Lobster Rolls that we have ever eaten anywhere! The butter toasted roll was filled to the rim with delicious knuckle and claw lobster meat!
Clam Chowder was also very good. Went well with the Lobster Roll. Both of them were the best we had on that trip to the East Coast.
Cadillac Cooler. What a refreshing name for a beverage. Coffee Hound is home to this wonderful drink. It is blueberry soda that is blended with lemon sorbet, and it is topped off with whip. Does not disappoint and is also a must try!
So, when in Bar Harbor, Maine… I highly recommend stopping in at Coffee Hound. Maybe you will be just as impressed as we were.

Awesome! The coffee, quiche, and blueberry traveling pie… Yum!
My husband I stopped in here on our last day of our honeymoon and everyone from the woman working the counter to the maher/​owner was super friendly.

While strolling on Main Street in Bar Harbor, my friend and I encountered this café by chance. What really attracted us was their smoothie and coffee drinks. We immediately bookmarked this place to come back the very next day.
And yes, We returned the very next day for breakfast, we ordered the Blueberry Pie, Lobster Rolls, Clam Chowder, Smoothies, Cadillac Cooler, Lemonade, Iced Coffee, and the Acadia Turtle Mocha.
To my biggest surprise, the café’s food was amazing here! If you love blueberries, the Blueberry Pie and muffins are just for you. Fresh Wild Maine Blueberries aroma in each pastry and it tasted very homemade; which was a major plus. To me Wild Maine Blueberries have a distinct earthy taste and much more flavorful than other blueberries I had before. Lobster Rolls were incredibly delicious and was loaded with lobster meat. The roll may appear to be small but it is so buttery and so good. I loved that the lobster meat was not overly mixed with creamy mayo, in fact its light and taste much fresher. It does not need to load up on condiments to make it taste better because the natural fresh lobster meat is already good. Clam Chowder had the right thickness and clams’ natural sweetness that simply makes one cup not enough. Lemonade drinks are fresh and lemony, add the mango in and you have just created the best summer time drink. Iced coffee is strong in flavor and can keep any all-​nighter like me up! Acadia Turtle Mocha is one of their specialty drinks. Hazelnut and caramel infused with mocha. It is so tasty and I can’t help but have to overlook the amount of calories that I will be consuming!
Coffee Hound is a fantastic breakfast stop before leaving Bar Harbor. Staff are extremely friendly and very eager to strike up conversations with us. Great drinks, great food, and great people. It is no wonder this spot earns consecutive five-​star reviews. Well-​deserved!

I love coffee. This place is really has good coffee.
I ordered a flat white coffee that was fantastic.
I had to wait 3 more minutes so he gave me a free blueberry turnover.
Great customer service.
I want to come back for the lobster roll.

You may come for coffee but you need to stay for the lobster roll. I was skeptical of this place being too «touristy» but it fooled me. Very charming! I ordered one of the specialty coffees, paid and then sat down. I was then staring at the menu again and saw «lobster roll». I became curious because there really isn’t any other food on the menu besides pastries. Long story short, all the other Unilocal reviews about this lobster roll are true! It’s out of this world. You MUST get it even if it’s before 11am ;) The owner was there during my visit and I had no doubt in my mind he loves what he does. This cute coffee joint is pet friendly too! Coffee hound made my morning. I love their logo too!

Nice little shop with a great cup of coffee. The owner clearly took pride in his business. He took the time to joke with us and ask about our experience. He answered my questions about how they prepare their lobster rolls – I had never tried one before. Returned later to buy one and it was fantastically delicious. The lobster was the perfect flavor & texture, with no bits of tough meat. Will definitely go back.

I’d checked this place on Unilocal before arriving, and so had to put the claim that it was the best coffee in town to the test.
It’s pretty small, just a long streak shoehorned in at the end of a row of shops, so there’s not much in the way of seating. If the weather’s nice, you’re best to take away and sit in the park across the street.
They do a pretty mean lobster roll (after 3 days in town I am of course an expert on the subject, right?), with plenty of filling. The coffee I would rate at 4.5 stars on the US-​Glasgow coffee comparison sliding scale that I’ve just this second invented, that equates to 3 Glasgow stars. Still the best I’ve found in Bar Harbor though.
