Hot Shots Espresso - Thain — Restaurant in Lewiston

I waited for 25 minutes for them to serve two cars, and then I left. At about the 15-minute mark, someone who I can only assume is an off-the-clock barista pulls up, parks, runs in and and walks out 3 minutes later with two drinks before driving off again.

I was late to work because I thought "Why not try this place? It looks busy but that's probably because the coffee is really good. The reviews make it look great."

I don't know how the coffee tastes, but I can see now why it's always packed with cars. When the delivery time for a coffee is ~15 minutes, it's faster to go literally anywhere else...

While waiting for my coffee order to be filled, the barista at the other window was helping her customer and I couldn’t help but notice the very short shorts she was wearing. So as she was bending over to hand out the coffee order..her butt cheeks were showing and then when she stood back up straight…there went her fingers to pull down her shorts . This was pretty disgusting and I was glad she wasn’t filling my order because I know she didn’t go wash her hands afterwards. This occurred...

You might have to wait a bit at certain times of the day, but it's well worth it! This is my Hot Shots location of choice in the LC Valley. They are friendly and chatty (which I like), and the drinks are consistent and tasty. The Big Trains are to die for! The drive thru at this location is large and easy to maneuver, even if there are 6+ cars in one of the two lines. Bottom line: Hot Shots is the best coffee...
