After spending several years living in the PNW where independent coffee shops are everywhere, my wife and I were excited to see something other than Dunkin or Tim’s opening in Presque Isle. We finally had the chance to stop in and try HUB Coffee and it is fantastic. The coffee is great, the staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere is awesome. This is exactly what we needed up here and we’re definitely going to be back!
Edit:
I’m amending my review a few years on, as now that we’re settled into a groove post Covid, folks are out and feel safe for coffee shops again. Some of the original staff no longer work at HUB and their loss shows. We haven’t had coffee here in a long time, and not for lack of trying. The Saturday crew moves so slowly that after 15 minutes in line and 5 orders ahead of us still waiting on drinks, we left. This is a regular thing. And this was 5 minutes after they opened that we arrived. HUB really needs to consider a different location. Either for a bigger space for 1 shop or opening a 2nd space. This is clearly the most popular of the two in the area. This space is so crowded, the long line blocks half the tables in the room and it is not comfortable to sit at this shop any longer, which sucks because we used to come every Saturday for a coffee date...
Read moreHub Coffee is indeed, the center of the coffee world in the Greater Presque Isle area. It's a fun spot to gather and meet people, and the varieties of coffee are modern and many. From my recollection, they both had cold brew, nitro coffee, and drip coffee. Along with pastry options, this is a good place to start the day!
The feel of an independent coffeeshop is different than from a large chain/brand, and Hub has a feel of a community space where you can hang out with a friend in the morning before the day starts. Outdoor seating is available, and the space is ADA compliant, so everyone is welcome here.
Gluten-free food options were available, but as far as I remember, included some pastry options. The coffee cake they had was excellent and moist, though. Highly recommend it!
I am looking forward to visiting Hub Coffee more in the future to start my day when visiting...
Read moreJust wanted to give a quick shoutout to Dave who was nice enough to open the store to give my wife and I an iced coffee even though they were closed. Besides the fact that the coffee was superb (trust me I’m particular being from NJ) Dave made us both feel like superstars. It’s so funny because working in sales personally, Dave gave us both an experience that I similarly pride myself on giving to customers.
We plan on stopping by The Hub from this point forward everytime before we fly back to NJ. Keep up the great work! If you’re looking for a great local coffee shop seriously...
