Quaint Maine Town Home to One of the Best Coffee Shops in the State

The winters can be long, cold, and dark in Maine.

For those who are always on the go, coffee becomes an essential part of their day.

You need that jolt of caffeine, and if you find the right coffee shop, maybe a bit of good conversation to go with it.

Visit a Small Island Town in Maine For a Great Cup of Coffee

Perhaps one of Maine's best-kept secrets is the quaint coffee shop that sits on Deer Isle called 44 North. Over the past several years, the business has built a name for themselves, offering up strong and delicious cups of coffee alongside some of that personalized Maine charm.

During the warmer months, 44 North opens a second waterfront location in the town of Stonington. That location is bustling with both fishermen and tourists who find the small town to be the perfect summer escape from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor.

What You'll Find Inside 44 North

Inside both coffee shops is the welcoming aroma of freshly brewed coffee. There's a small but succinct variety of flavors to choose from, and a do-it-yourself coffee bar with cream, organic sugar, oat milk, and other sweeteners for you to adjust the flavor to your tastes. 44 North has even invited their regulars to glow up their mug to fit their personality.

On most days, you'll also find a selection of pastry options courtesy of a nearby bakery or purveyor of baked goods. But get there early if you're hungry, because they can often go fast.

44 North makes their coffee available to be purchased and shipped online, in case you can't make the journey to visit their shop.
