Tandem Coffee And Bakery - Portland

The baked goods are excellent, and the coffee and hot chocolate are outstanding. There's a good number of seats available, and the line to get into the bakery moves quickly.

You shouldn't miss this place when you're in Portland! Everything they serve is outstanding. The chai latte is possibly the best I've ever had. The scones have the perfect density, with a soft inside and a crisp exterior. The breakfast sandwich is divine and quite filling. And don't get me started on the cookies!

My wife, who hails from the South and has high standards for baked goods, absolutely loved the cookies here. We tried both the sweet cookie with peach jam and the savory one with egg and cheese, and both were fantastic. The mocha was also among the best I’ve ever had.

I had the cheeky sharp Cheddar appearance and it was the best single piece of food I ever had. I look at real estate in portland just to get another. after the purchase I tried to buy the rest, but they were sold out. Don't run!

After my one night in Portland, I was on the hunt for a tasty coffee shop to grab an easy breakfast and good cup of coffee. I turned to Yelp and found Tandem Coffee. The shop seemed to be an old gas station or garage shop back in the day. It was a smart conversion of an older building. Though there wasn 't much in the way of a throwback to the original business in terms of aesthetic. It also felt like the inside decor still had a lot of covid precautions as part of the general layout and ordering system. One door to enter, line goes through, and exits the other door. There was also a pretty large area dedicated to online order pickups. Upon first arrival, the line seemed a little long, but it went by pretty quickly. I was a bit bummed that I could not get vanilla (or any flavors) in my latte, but oat milk was available as an option which helped saved my vision of drinking a cozy hot coffee. The baked goods on display all made my mouth water (maybe I was just hungry), but I could only choose one! I went with the jalapeño cheddar biscuit. Sadly, the husband picked the same as me, so I wasn 't even able to pull the classic partner card to sample something that I didn 't order. Haha! The biscuit was a little cold, but it was still very fluffy and soft. I would go back strictly for the biscuit. Indoor seating was scarce, but we found a spot at one end of a picnic table out on the patio. There were a lot of bees for some reason. It was pretty annoying, and I was grateful we didn 't order anything too sweet. Tandem was able to provide a little pick-me-up before hitting Highway 1 to explore more of the Maine coast.
