This South African-Italian café is exactly the kind of fresh, diverse energy Wells, Maine needed. From the moment you walk in, the ambience and interior design immediately set the tone cozy, vibrant, and full of character. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to sit, stay, and soak it all in.
The food is absolutely Phenomenal. The meat pies are packed with rich, savory flavor perfectly spiced with a satisfying, flaky crust. The quiches are just as impressive: warm, filling, and full of fresh ingredients. And don’t skip the smoothies, they’re delicious, refreshing, and clearly made with real fruit and love.
What truly sets this place apart, though, are the people. The owners and staff are hands down some of the kindest, most welcoming folks you’ll meet. Their passion for the food and culture behind it shines through in every detail. If you’re looking for a unique breakfast or midday bite that gives you a taste of the world outside Maine, this is the spot. Stop by, grab a plate, and enjoy something beautifully different. You...
Read moreVery impressed with this new bakery, coffee shop, cafe in Wells. Just one step in and I was warmly greeted to feel welcome. The three person staff were all friendly. If they weren’t serving customers, they were cleaning and assisting one another. The decor was very fresh and had a number of nuanced areas adding to a very positive vibe. They had a wide range of seating options from tables, high tops, bar rail, and soft, comfortable seating. I had a delicious focaccia, prosciutto sandwich. Very tasty, but could have had another slice of prosciutto to have the content match the thickness of the bread. Minor issue.

My first visit was just for a quick lunch. Congrats to the team who opened this new spot. They look to have all the elements in place to make this a success. Definitely...
Read moreBANATCHA! That's all that needs to be said. Wait, there's more... The fresh ingredients in everything from the housemade coffees to the delicious sandwiches, perfect blend of gluten-free treats. I admit, I will drive an hour one-way for the banana matcha. I honestly have never liked matcha before. Even their white chocolate matcha cookies are so tasty... I've never liked white chocolate! This place is amazing. I didn't realize the theme until I looked at the website after my first visit, and it made sense why I loved it. I spent a month in South Africa on holiday in 2019 and fell in love with the food, people and culture. I have not been to Italy yet, but being GF I probably wouldn't return. Glad I have a place to experience the best of...
