Reviews of Hilltop Coffee Shop (Coffee Shop)

Lillie James

Good coffee, great service. Open later than some cafes.

Maria Kinner

10:00am on a Saturday and they were all out of eggs and one bagel left. The guy stood there behind the counter and didn't greet my husband or me, he just stood there. We bought the very last bagel, but the guy dropped one half and just returned our money to us. Just a side note, I grew up on Munjoy Hill when it was uncool to live there and everyone was friendly and upbeat. Although I love that there are restaurants to eat at, the place is just not the same. All in all it is really sad what's happening to Maine, not just the service, but all the unnecessary "growth" (buildings) going up. We should not be building on precious land when we have abandoned building already that could be fixed up.

Great coffee

Michael Webster

Friendly staff and good coffee. I preferred it before the new remodel, but still a solid coffee shop.

Jeremy Dean

Nice location at the top of Munjoy Hill, decent enough coffee, nice muffins. Good small coffee shop.

Great dark roast. Delightful pastries.

Alessandro Colombo

Good espresso and great muffin!

Nina Robinett

I only got a coffee - it was great coffee but more importantly the gal working was SO NICE. I messed up my order (clearly I needed the coffee, ha) and she fixed it for me on the house. I really appreciated that.

Laura Hubbard

Great mocha... Hit the spot!

Haley Wilcox

Christine Ming

Ben Macarthur

Fast accurate service

Kevin Bell

Only had coffees, which were fine. The overall decor and vibe of the place was not overly impactful. It made this place kinda forgettable when compared to other well-branded locations in the area.

My favorite place.

Hilary Adams

Cute place, great atmosphere. They’ve got a communal bookshelf you can peruse. Docked a star because the cold brew was bitter and tasted more like iced coffee. Staff are lovely, though.

Good cold brew, nice selection of baked goods and breakfast sandwiches

Very tasty mocha, and overall nice staff. Bought some parmesan bacon scones, hopefully they're as good as they looked like. Looked nice inside, but we sat outside on the benches.

Harry Callahan

I don't even mind dropping twenty or so bucks in this place. Very good food and milkshakes!!

Mikayla Upcott

One of many hipster coffee shops in Portland. Nothing special. The barista seemed inconvienced when I ordered. It's not in a convenient location. Fine in a pinch, but I won't go out of my way to go back.

Michelle Goodrich

great spot with awesome staff !

Colleen Ruggelo

Local feel and they serve my favorite: Coffee By Design!!

Jack Eastes

Really nice, trendy coffee shop. Space inside is a bit small but the coffee and pastries were delicious and at reasonable prices. This coffee shop has the best blueberry muffins I have ever tasted!! They are filling but not overly sweet like most muffins are so I would definitley recommend trying one of those.

Michael Brennan

You will never regret having a warm blueberry muffin in the morning. Never had a better one.

Megan Ladd

Great little neighborhood coffee shop. Staff is always friendly and the treats are delicious.

Ashish Vaid

Great Chai , Cappuccinos, Croissants!

Joseph Crodelle

Fast service. Yummy coffee and lattes

Paul Molyneaux

Big sullen unwashed barista insists on his heavy metal stoner music on a quiet spring morning. Why does this guy have a job?

Mike Twitchell

Good coffee, cozy atmosphere.

Emily Siegel

Great coffee in a cute neighborhood environment. Try a dirty chai or a cortado.

Arnd Stöckl

(Translated by Google) Good coffee. Nice, friendly service. Highly recommended! (Original) Guter Kaffee. Nette, freundliche Bedienung. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Kyle Dubay

3/5 Cappuccino however the negative review comes based on the infrequent atmosphere of the coffee shop. I like many others go there to work or have a conversation with a friend/client for 1 hour to 2 hours; the music changes frequently and today it was louder then my ear buds could drown out at full volume. The shop was playing extremely obnoxious club music loudly, the only song I could recognize was the 7 minute techno fiasco Sandstorm which in my opinion should never even be considered for a coffee shop playlist.

Jasmine Mills

This is a great coffee shop on Munjoy Hill. The coffee was delicious. My only complaint was that the tables were dirty. The staff at the front desk was just standing around, so that could have been easily taken care of in 3 minutes. Love the coffee though, and appreciated the wireless.

Ann V Quinlan

Hilltop is my early morning walking spot. Lovely staff (they even remember what I like!) and getting there early one has great seating choices in all seasons. Hilltop is just one more reason to live on "The Hill!"

Stopped in here every morning while in Portland. The staff is friendly and the coffee, cortado, cold brew was awesome. Cannot wait to go back again next time I'm in Portland. Update 2017: still great. Got the chai this time and it was delicious! Everything bagels there are delish.

Jason Hoy

Good espresso. That's all you need. They got it.

John Citron

I used to like this place until they removed 1/2 of the customer seating. It was hard enough to get a table before. Off to new digs. Oh well.

Claire Podgorski

Nice venue, but understaffed

Yunus Ibrahim

Awesome

ericsuchet

Very good coffee

Suzanne Louise

Casual and not too large. Enough noise to cover your private conversations. Coffee is CBD, yummy. Baked treats and fresh egg sandwiches.

Adriano Ciampoli

Great Portland Coffee Shop, super friendly staff.

Lucas Jones

Great to have this spot here. A short walk up the hill from the park for a coffee.

Kseniya Kupri

Get your caffeine fix at this local cafe serving beans from Coffee by design. Not as many frills/extra offerings compared to some of the other cafes in Portland.

Stephanie Hanley

Amazing local coffee shop! The staff are always very sweet and seem to enjoy being there. Definitely try one the delicious baked goods that change everyday! They also carry almond milk, genious. My all around perfect neighborhood cafe.

Yared Armstrong

A true Maine coffee shop, nothing you won't like

Jason Barnes

The girl behind the counter was quick and pleasant. It's a nice little place, I took my daughter to when I was in town. Coffee was very good, not bitter like many, not watery like most. I assume they have WiFi, there were three people on laptops in there. The cookies were delicious . The

Julie C

Cute place but unfortunately the staff wasn't very friendly.

Bill Elander

This is a great coffee shop. It has a nice neighborhood feel. My Americano was excellent, strong with good flavor. The staff was friendly. I got a Morning Glory muffin which was delicious. There was a generous amount of seating, a nice place to relax and enjoy your coffee.

Sheldon H Henderson

Cute little place. Can take a bit to grab your coffee due to light staff, but it's worth the wait. Love the options and fresh snack items. Friendly staff and prices are very reasonable.
