Frontside Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Conway

My wife found this place on TikTok and I'm so happy she did. When you travel you tend to find something with a familiar name. We like to find places that have great reviews from not only tourists like us, but locals. Frontside is that place. When we walked in, I knew I wanted to have something to eat along with my coffee. The bagels were calling me. And then I saw it on the menu... Maple walnut cream cheese. I died and went to heaven. But that wasn't everything. Like I said, my wife found this place online and she shares a lot of videos with me about food, attractions, sights, you name it - all about places we are going to visit. I knew one place had home made pop tarts. And this was it. Pictures do not do this justice. Have you ever watched the Netflix series "Somebody Feed Phil"? Ever see Phil get so excited about something he just ate? That was me sitting down inside this little cafe. The coffee was perfect. The staff were amazing, and while I was sitting there people watching, everyone left with a smile on their face.

I should have asked for a bucket of that maple walnut cream cheese and a box of pop tarts.

Oh well, there will be another vacation and another visit.

Not bad! If you’re looking for some good coffee in between all your shopping around downtown North Conway, Frontside Coffee Roasters is a great option! Keep in mind it gets BUSY, especially during weekends, so do expect you might have to wait a bit for your food/drinks. I wouldn’t say it’s the best coffee and pastries I’ve ever had, but it’s still good, and I would still come here again next time I’m in the area. We got an iced maple latte, an iced tea, and a cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was actually the best thing - the iced maple latte didn’t have much maple flavor at all and just tasted like a normal latte. However, still good coffee when it comes down to it - much better quality than chain coffee places like Dunkin or Starbucks. I’d probably skip getting iced tea from here because they definitely make better coffee than tea. They have a good selection of gluten-free options though, which is really nice! I like the variety of seasonal drinks - I look forward to coming back soon and trying something different…maybe a seasonal winter drink next! All in all, 4/5 stars in my opinion - still worth...

Frontside Coffee Roasters is a cozy and inviting café located right in the heart of a historic street. It instantly gives off a warm, local charm, and the quality of the coffee matches the atmosphere — smooth, rich, and satisfying.

The café consists of two distinct buildings: the main customer area right by the road and a second space, likely used for roasting and production. It’s always a great sign when a coffee shop roasts its own beans — and this place definitely looks like one of those. You can almost feel the freshness in every cup.

The layout is thoughtfully designed, with different zones catering to all kinds of visitors. There are spots for remote workers with laptops, and separate cozy corners for friends catching up. The outdoor patio is a real highlight — perfect for starting the day or enjoying a sunny afternoon.

Overall, Frontside Coffee Roasters stands out not just for its coffee, but for how well it adapts to the needs of its community. Whether you’re working, chatting, or just pausing for a great cup — this is the kind of coffee shop you hope to find...
