Precipice Coffee

Amazing start to our Maine trip! We left the airport and headed straight for Acadia National Park but had to stop here first—and I’m so glad we did. Ironically, this spot shares its name with our first hike in the park, which was epic! The baristas were incredibly friendly and even gave us insider tips for our visit to Acadia. I also met the owner, who lives right behind the shop and clearly pours his heart into every roast. His passion for creating quality coffee and an authentic atmosphere truly shows. Fantastic service, great energy, and phenomenal coffee. Highly recommend!

What a lovely little stop! The coffee was amazing 😍 which isn’t a surprise because they roast their own beans and make their own syrups. I got the Apple cinnamon syrup and my 10 oz latte was delish. Super friendly staff! For my vegans, they had alternative milks! (No vegan bakery items but, let’s be honest, we don’t need the extra calories). Great little walk in spot on your way to an Acadia adventure! Also, compostable cups!

Absolutely amazing! I got a cold brew with their house made Maine maple and oh my god it was amazing. Their blueberry pie is also delicious! Atmosphere was super cute and staff were amazing! High recommend!

This morning before the rest of our road trip. We stopped at Precipice Coffee. I always try to find a local coffee shop and support them. I got an ice finally latte with the wild blueberry surp added. My sister got an ice vanilla late with maple surp added. Both were 10/10! It was a 4 min drive in the opposite direction if where we needed to go, which was not far. I'd recommend to stop here and get great coffee and support local 🐝❤️🦞⛰️✨️⛵️

Such a cute place with super kind people!! I got a vanilla cold brew and it was amazing, especially along with my sesame bagel- their scallion cream cheese is great!! Totally recommend

Cutest coffeeshop, sweetest owner! We stopped on our way back from Acadia - back in May 2025. Owner said she bakes her own goods, grows some of her ingredients herself, and sources others from local vendors. Also they solar roast their beans!! How cool is that. We need more such owners! 10/10 recommend.

Heading from Acadia back to Bangor to fly home and we wanted a quick cup of coffee from a local spot. Precipice Coffee was perfect! I grabbed a seasonal latte and my husband got a cortado; both were great. We also tried a pastry (maple pumpkin pop tart) which was incredible. The barista also gave me some ice to help my bruised back from a minor tumble while hiking in the morning. Truly a fantastic spot! Wish I could come here more often.

Loved this place so much! Delicious iced maple and salted vanilla latte! The buttermilk maple biscuit and scone were also delightful!

best coffee I've ever had. charming and funny staff. go, order, tip, don't be a dick. iced mocha with oat milk and FRESH blueberry syrup.

We stopped by in our way out of Ellswoeth. Had a delicious apple pastry and maple latte. The service was friendly and the little shop was so quaint. You have to stop by.

Had this coffee every morning on our vaca...great cortados and iced lattes with lavender, Mo to and brown sugar syrups. Baked goods are also great. Cute little coffee shop, friendly staff! Must go and support local!

Stopped in for coffee and it did not disappoint! The brew was excellent -- smooth, flavorful, and clearly well-prepared. The menu is surprisingly robust, with plenty of options for every type of coffee lover (and a few fun extras I'll be back to try). We lingered over our drinks and enjoyed the atmosphere just as much as the coffee -- the decor is warm and inviting without feeling overdone. On top of that, the staff was so kind and welcoming, which really made the whole experience stand out. Definitely a spot I'd recommend and one I'll be returning to.

A great little coffee shop near Acadia. It's a to go shop with lots of baked goods and a wine options. The owner was running the register. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and the baker behind all the goodies. They also had lots of fun homemade syrups. We went two days in a row and enjoyed it. The lattes were good. The syrups were good not overpowering and I wish slightly stronger. The matcha with blueberry syrups was DELICIOUS and I'm not a big matcha fan.

Delicious cortado and very enjoyable shishito cheese scone too. Lovely people and a worthwhile stop on our way out of Arcadia.

This place is great! The shop itself is really cute, and I like that it's off on a side street. Service was great--the barista I had was very nice and helpful. Coffee was pretty good, though I did feel like it could've been better with a little less milk, so the coffee flavor would be a bit stronger. Overall recommend!

Great coffee and pastries. Charming space and friendly vibe in the shop and neighborhood. Would stop in every day if I lived in Ellsworth!

Nice little coffee shop with fancy roaster and some baked goods. However, they did not have honey or maple syrup to add to the beverage or to drizzle on the ricotta biscuit we purchased. The biscuit was dry and really needed a drizzle of honey. The coffee was decent.

We recently spent a week in Acadia National Park and were delighted to stumble across this delightful coffee shop in Otter Creek. Unfortunately for us it was the last day of our trip. Otherwise we would have gone everyday. The blubard pastry was absolutely delicious!!! I also loved the Smoked London Fog. If you are in the area I would highly recommend stopping and giving Precipice Coffee a try. You won't be disappointed.
