“Today i wanted to see this place maybe get food. I walked in. Instantly felt like walk through place. Bar on right side full tables in middle dart board on left. Felt like place for locals only and everyone knew each other. Place for local family groups for sure. And thats fine. People are fun there.”
“Very cute store! Don’t be fooled by the small size, they pack a ton of amazing products in there. The cheesemongers were super friendly and gave me a perfect recommendation. Definitely on the pricier side but the selection and quality are worth it. Hummingbird cheese, fennel salami, Castelvatrano olives, and ginger oatcakes all from Sissle & Daughters.”
“What a lovely and unique wine business, a combination of retail shop, wine bar and event/education center. The selection is carefully chosen from both established and lesser known wine regions around the world. Lindsey is a one woman show, with the energy of ten people and an unparalleled enthusiasm for all things wine. I highly recommend you check out the shop when you are in Portland. ???”
“Who would of thought this Italian grocery store would be popping out Sicilian Pizzas that were this good. The dough was fluffy, undercarriage burnt perfectly, very cheesy and the sauce was sooo incredibly good. This shop is most definitely worth a stop at if you’re in the area for pizza or any Italian goods.”
“in my opinion this is the best wine shop in Cumberland County. They have a fantastic selection of wines at all price points. Their wines are all natural or organic and sourced from generally smaller farms using sustainable growing techniques. Peter and his wife Arenda, the owners, are always there to greet you and help with any questions you might have.”
“Best selection and pricing in town. They really know their products and I absolutely love the store. I legit drive from Portland to go here and see the team and all the new offerings.”
“I'm a carpenter and I recently have done a job in Cumberland, so I decided I wanted some breakfast and I stopped in to Cumberland food stop and I bought myself a sausage egg and English muffin breakfast sandwich. The best breakfast sandwich I've ever had The sausage was on point, very well seasoned sausage highly recommend eating One of these breakfast sandwiches, and if they're breakfast sandwiches are this good I can't wait until lunch ?”
“We got here so much that when we walk in the guy always guesses our order right. The turkey sandwich pressed is superb. The store is set up beautifully, and my children love going and picking out a little chocolate or their ginger molasses cookies. Great place, glad we found and made it a frequent spot.”
“Friendly service and great selection. Jacques is a great professional who is very attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend stopping by and saying hi. Will be coming back every time we’re in Portland.”
“Sign on door says put your bills in the back of your trailer and back up to any of the six dock doors past the Shipping office man door. Took 40 minutes to unload signed bills were in the back of the trailer. No human contact worked for me.?”
“I love going here! The employees are so respectful and personable, they also have a redemption center, not anything like Clynk where you get ripped off because they don't care about the customers just the money!”
“Boutique liquor store with most of what you’d be looking for ABV beverages. Super friendly and helpful staff. I just wish they’d bring back their once outstanding hard kombucha selection. Alas. Still I highly recommend.”
“Free parking and the best local craft beers to-go you can find...... check their inventory on Untappd because they may have bottles or cans from hard to find breweries (e.g. Russian River Pliny, etc.)”
“This establishment has by far the best customer service. I went in on christmas eve to get a gift card and a 12pk. Now, I have parkinsons and that affects my walking and speech, and these great people saw me struggling and only had me walk to the counter (just inside the door) and got my 12pk for me and even brought it to my car.
Kudos to you guys. You got it right.”
“This cozy little beverage store is a hidden gem. It offers a delightful mix of local, handcrafted drinks alongside a carefully curated selection of imported alcohol from around the world. The vibe is casual and welcoming, with friendly staff who are eager to share recommendations. Whether you’re looking for a unique local soda or a rare bottle of wine from South Africa, this spot has something for everyone. It’s the perfect place to discover new flavors while supporting local makers.”
“Best steak and cheese, by far the BEST Lobster roll. Small place with large flavors. Also, I'm obsessed with their breakfast sandwiches... bacon AND sausage egg and cheese... yes please!”
“Extremely helpful and friendly staff, especially the resident staff dog Ruby. Seriously they're lovely people, never had anything but a wonderful, professional, and prompt experience there. Great prices and a great selection. Also a good little boat beer fridge with constantly changing options for those of us of the island persuasion.”
“Staff was really friendly. We were passing through on a trip and needed some snacks. Our cashier was cool to my kid, I think he needed that after being in the car for hours. Clean and bright inside.”

“We stay at the Cambria Hotel when in Portland, and really enjoy the bar. Always a friendly, talkative bartender who knows how to mix a cocktail. Good food. Beautiful marble bar. Bathrooms off the bar. Always a relaxing, great time.”
“Never heard of this app until my son mentioned he uses it all the time. Great service - I knew exactly when to expect my order. It was left exactly where I asked them to leave it. I'd use carhop again.”
“Friendly Discount is still the store you know and love. I remember coming here in my younger days for all manner of things that they specialize in carrying. Most recently I’ve been coming back in for disposable vapes. They have a huge case on the counter with just about every flavor you can think of, but I go for the mint ones specifically. They’re priced $10 less than I was paying at a different spot so I’ve been getting them here exclusively. The people at the counter are always so nice and quick to help, always a 10/10 experience just like it was 20 years ago.”
