Sassafrass Cafe
✦

Known For

Thoughtfully sourced coffee in a room that respects its building's age

Sassafrass Cafe has built its local favorite standing on a bright & airy room, a charming storefront, and coffee that's genuinely worth the detour from Acadia. The vintage interior keeps things grounded without feeling themed.

Our Take

Sassafrass Cafe has a near-perfect rating from a tight-knit group of regulars who clearly feel possessive about the place, and the sunlit, charming-storefront vibe backs that up. A smaller review count keeps it from climbing higher, but this one feels like it's on the way up.
