Down At The Green Bean!

When we travel south towards Portland ( on the rare occasions that we do), we always stop at this awesome cafe…..The Green Bean in China , Maine. It’s really only about 25 minutes away from the nursery, just off RT. 3. If it were closer, we’d be stopping in there for coffee and goodies daily. The green Bean is the kind of place you want to sit down and stay awhile. It’s super cozy, the staff that works there are really friendly, and the food is great! I’m never disappointed with what I order from the Green Bean. Sometimes it’s a quick in and out……great coffee and a homemade scone ( I think I had a delicious raspberry nut scone last time) or a freshly baked muffin. But if I do get the chance to ‘sit down and stay awhile’, their breakfast and lunch menu is terrific. Nancy ( the owner) has come up with a delicious and creative selection of sandwich options. Hard to choose! They’re all so good! Usually there is a homemade soup available as well. The breakfast sandwiches? You could only replicate them at home.
The inside of the cafe is cozy, lots of books to browse through and wonderful art to check out. The art is mostly from local artists and crafters. And, as you can see, there are some real comfy places to sit, relax, and have a cup of tea or coffee. We love going to the Green Bean. It is really a great little place! Check them out…….you’ll be so glad you did!
