Coffee by Design: Craft-Roasted Coffee from Portland, Maine
If you're a coffee lover, then you know that there's nothing quite like the taste of a freshly brewed cup of coffee. And if you're looking for the best craft-roasted coffee in Portland, Maine, then look no further than Coffee by Design.
Founded in 1994 by Mary Allen Lindemann and Alan Spear, Coffee by Design has been roasting and serving some of the finest coffees in Maine for over 25 years. What started as a small coffee shop on Congress Street has now grown into a thriving business with four locations throughout Portland.
At Coffee by Design, they believe that great coffee starts with great beans. That's why they source only the highest quality Arabica beans from around the world. From Ethiopia to Guatemala to Sumatra, each bean is carefully selected for its unique flavor profile and roasted to perfection in small batches at their roastery on Diamond Street.
But it's not just about the beans at Coffee by Design – it's also about the people who make your coffee. Their baristas are trained to craft each drink with care and precision, ensuring that every cup is made just right. Whether you prefer a classic latte or something more adventurous like a lavender honey latte or maple bourbon cold brew, their baristas have got you covered.
In addition to their delicious drinks, Coffee by Design also offers an array of baked goods and light bites made fresh daily at their bakery on India Street. From croissants to muffins to scones, there's something for everyone.
But what really sets Coffee by Design apart is their commitment to sustainability and community involvement. They work directly with farmers around the world to ensure fair prices and sustainable practices are being used in growing their beans. They also partner with local organizations like Preble Street Resource Center and EqualityMaine to give back to their community.
So whether you're looking for your morning caffeine fix or just want a cozy spot to hang out with friends or get some work done (they offer free Wi-Fi!), be sure to check out one of Coffee by Design's four locations throughout Portland – Congress Street, India Street, Diamond Street Roastery & Tasting Room or East Bayside!
