Cia Cafe

So glad we found this place!! From the moment we walked in the staff was attentive and friendly, breakfast sandwiches are out of this world and caramel lattes did not disappoint! The person taking orders made sure to greet everyone coming in and thank everyone leaving. Overall the place is a well oiled machine and you can tell their staff truly cares. 10 out of 10 and we will absolutely be back!

I am obsessed with this place. The owner and staff are incredible, coffee and food are excellent. Prices are super reasonable, and there is always plenty of indoor and outdoor out door seating.

Great local spot, fantastic sandwiches, great fancy coffees, and there's no way that you'll be burdened with too much leftover money after paying for it. High quality though, and the ambiance is great. Super annoying they don't take cash, and I'm looking forward to someday seeing someone in their for their first time melting down over that, that'll be a good show! I dig the local art, and craft made hats/stickers/etc they offer too, which helps connect local artists to the market--pretty rad!

Very enjoyable. Great atmosphere. Good selection. Just wish the propietor might be a little more flexible in allowing how a customer would like their coffee, but I know how serious people are about their coffee so I get it.

Visited on New Year's Day during a very busy morning rush – the team at Cia went above and beyond to make sure all the customers were satisfied while dealing with a huge volume of orders. Great staff and delicious food!

I have been coming here for a few years now and everything is great except for the service. The owner is incredibly rude and condescending towards both staff and customers. I asked for a specific size lid for my drink as there were none on the sidebar and was told, "They're definitely over there unless someone stocked them completely incorrectly." Another customer grabbed the wrong sandwich by mistake, and in an attempt to correct the problem, this owner walked over to someone waiting for their sandwich and very loudly blamed another customer nearby for taking their food. After this incident, he said to everyone at the counter to make sure they were taking the right order. It is abundantly clear that he makes everyone uncomfortable. I sat outside and could still hear his remarks from out there. Everyone else who works here is very nice and accommodating, food is great as well. You are better off going to an establishment that creates a welcoming environment and values their staff and customers.

I loved eating here I always needed this to happen! Every time I walk in I get paid in advance just to look it up on google too, let alone dine and wine! Portland got a taste. ; ) Ariana Grande check it out!

The owner is incredibly rude to his own staff and will blatantly talk down to them and raise his voice at them, in front of customers. It was super uncomfortable to witness a grown man speaking that way to a bunch of college age girls and have no one batt an eye. There is no excuse for that level of unprofessionalism and it does not have a place in South Portland.
