Jorgensen’s Cafe

Friendly staff, decently priced, nice atmosphere. Plenty of coffee types and flavours to choose from. And free wifi. My only real «complaint» is that it can get very noisy.

Staff is very friendly and is always attentive! The food is good and reasonably priced. It has a comfortable atmosphere and is located in the heart of Waterville. Lots of choices when it comes to tea or coffees. A must stop!

Who doesn’t want to like a local
Spot in a small town downtown? The other reviewers are correct that this place is mediocre. They were out of my first two menu choices so I got the buffalo chicken wrap. The grilled chicken was the kind that has fake «grill» marks. If I hadn’t ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich, I wouldn’t have known that’s what it is. Guess I’ll hit the McDonald’s before I get on the highway…

I’ve always late Jorgensen’s café. Over time it seems like it has lost the family values, though. They still serve great food and drinks! Decently priced. Good for groups.

I’ve been coming here for years when visiting family in the area. It must have changed hands. It smells bad (burned hazelnut stale coffee?) and it just took 30 minutes for them to make us 3 mediocre sandwiches for almost $ 30. No thanks.

If you’re not going to open at the time posted on the door because you’re the only one working, you can at least tell the customers waiting outside.
Missing ceiling tiles, multiple burned out lights and gallon cans of paint laying around near exits are not a great way welcome customers.

Five stars for the coffee. Their coffee supplier makes great flavored coffees. The toasted almond flavored coffee is the best. Cheap, affordable, and easy if you want a quick cup of coffee.

I like Jorgensen’s. Is it the greatest coffee shop I’ve ever been in – probably not. I am a bit surprised by some of the low reviews on Unilocal,however.
I’m a fan of downtowns and even though getting to Waterville’s is never easy, when I’m there and in need of coffee, I choose Jorgensen’s. I also like it as a meet-​up spot to connect with partners and conduct business. Given the freelance nature of my work, it’s also a spot I’m apt to use to pop-​in and fire up my laptop when in need of cranking out some work on the road. A cup of coffee and one of their cookies or pastries makes for a great mid-​afternoon jump start, too.
Since Jorgensen’s serves Carrabassett Coffee, a small-​batch specialty roaster, located in lovely Kingfield, Maine, I’m able to support another local business by frequenting their coffee shop. I like the coffee and again, it allows me to support a locally-​owned Maine business.
My experiences with staff have always been pleasant and upbeat, too.

Sad to say that this place is going downhill. I have lived here for over a decade and remember when this was the only joint in town for lunch/​café. Not only are there better choices like the excellent Selah Tea down the block, but the service has gotten cold and unfriendly and sloooow even during quite times. We ordered lunch recently, salad and cold sandwhich. While watching others who entered later get there food, we get two separate visits saying each of our orders did not have the listed ingredients available and could we substitute. Fine, but then it was another wait! And an 8 dollar salad with bottled dressing?
OK for the 1990’s. Not now.

Visiting my wife’s grandpa who the latter is a regular here. Staff was very friendly and service was great.

Not too sure about the low reviews from others but, not worried, either. Was in town, early morning, needed espresso and bkfst to start the day. My latte was very well made, strong, and super yummy. I had the bkfst sandwich with ham, generous portion, very tasty and freshly made. Only complaint is I was there early, the espresso machine was not on. They gave me free coffee while I waited for it to warm up.

Ate there before Unilocal and was unimpressed. We tried it again, while looking for a quick lunch in Waterville. It’s a stereotypical college coffee shop. Unfortunately, appearances can be deceiving. The restaurant and restrooms were dirty. The Southwestern salad was inedible. The Buffalo chicken wraps were somewhere between bad and horrible. I certainly wouldn’t eat another meal here again. I guess I would consider a cup of coffee, but only under duress. This is the rare local restaurant that casts chain restaurants in a positive light.

This used 2 be my fave breakfast spot but it has since gone down hill. The service is polite enough but they almost always mess up my order and the prices have gone up while the quality has tanked

Food was ok but small portions and expensive not recommended.

Recently was in the area visiting relatives and they recommended this place, so I thought I’d give it a try. Big mistake…
The coffee was excellent, but the young man who waited on me was very unpleasant and rude. The place also did not appear to be very clean. It made the whole experience awful. Sandwich was just mediocre. I wouldn’t recommend it.

There’s a fine line between a cute, funky atmosphere and… funky hygiene. Nice layout, but there was no soap or paper towels in the bathroom that the employees and customers use. I got something cooked, and the veggie burger wasn’t bad, but the two people I was with got a gross pre-​made salad and a BLT, and sure enough, a few hours later… let’s just say they were very inconveniently, explosively sick.
Ew.

Jorgensens, although a local favorite has got to be one of the worst local coffee shops I have ever been too. Coffee is AWFUL. Sits for hours in thermoses and ive never had a welcoming experience with the staff. But maybe the worst thing is it closes at 5 or 6 which is incredibly inconvenient.

Great selection of coffees, yummy gelato, decent ambiance, free wifi.
