“ Best biscuits in Portland!! Good cold brew, too. The staff was so so fun to chat with during our visit. Feels like a bunch of friends hanging out and the vibe that ensues is immaculate! ”

“ Ordered coffee online and it’s phenomenal. Can’t recommend the sample pack enough. Insane value for amazing coffee. Also, they take the time to write a little note for the order. Will be ordering again and stopping in next time I’m in Portland! Much love from NJ. ”

“ Perfect cafe for delicious coffee and snacks/pastries. Newly expanded large seating area both indoor and outdoors. Great variety of coffees for pour over as well as an awesome selection of beans to take home. I always make time to stop by this spot when in town. Can get busy early morning and on weekends but worth the wait! ”

“ While visiting Portland, ME, my husband and I had an immaculate experience at Tandem Coffee. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome—like we were visiting family. The coffee was amazing, and the pastries were just as impressive. The warm, friendly atmosphere made it a true highlight of our trip. Highly recommend if you're in town! ”

“ Tandem is a great roaster. I had an El Salvador single origin pour over. Well priced. Well brewed. Exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable staff. Super busy but you can see why. Took home a bag of the beans. Family had a skim latte that got great reviews. Baked goods were solid. Scone excellent. Son reports cookie a touch too chocolatey. But you are there for the coffee and that is perfect. ”

“ This review is specific to coffee I ordered online. Ordered two different types and they both hit the mark perfectly. I brewed these for espresso and the flavor profiles were exactly as described. Came with a nice note and a sticker as well which were a nice touch. Will look to order more from here in the future. ”

“ Great coffee and super friendly staff. The space just felt welcoming. Was offered flat/sparkling water while waiting for my coffee. Honestly, nothing can beat a 4.5 pour over that's simple, fruitful, and delicious. Also got a bag of the decaf beans, but didn't like it as much. Tastes a little like instant coffee to me. Alas. ”

“ BEST coffee shop I have been to. Tandem was recommended by a friend and was absolute perfection (& extremely affordable). We enjoyed the jalapeno cheddar biscuit, quiche, a maple latte, & cold brew. The cold brew especially stood out to us as being the best we’ve ever tasted. They have an amazing atmosphere with records playing and you can even purchase records! The staff were friendly, attentive, and warm. We will be recommending Tandem to anyone we know visiting Portland! ”
