Dog Bar Jim: The Coffee Shop

Am I in Red Hook? Heaven? Love this place so much. Their savory sandwiches are an excellent addition to the wonderful pastry and bagel offerings. Coffee is spectacular. I appreciate the space they create and share. Looking forward to trying a Golden Demise evening meal.

Absolutely awesome place, one of the best bagels I've ever had and my latte was fire. Really great service and cool spot. For the price point they charge the interior of the place could use a face lift as most of it is a tad dated and a bit better menu board that's more organized but in all would highly recommend this place to anyone that wants great service, great food, and great drinks.

This place is on my top three Maine cafes. Delicious cappuccino and sandwich. Super friendly owner. Wish I lived an hour closer!

Best breakfast experience in Brunswick. Such good vibes and the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. Coffee also SO good. Love it here and will come back every time we pass through.

favorite saturday morning spot in eccentric digs. come for the innovative menu, stay for the people. the owner is an absolute gem. oh, and do yourself a favor & get whatever baked goods are in the case! they never miss. rosemary shortbread was divine.

DBJ is excellent, funky, and unique in the best possible way. Go for the food* go for the people, or go for the interior decorating. It's all good. In a league of its own.
*and coffee!

Tucked strangely and what looks like a house, is this fairly cramped coffee shop that has lots of pizzazz and a friendly staff as well as interesting local coffee drinkers. Not much in the way of outdoor seating except two picnic tables.

Lady, who seemed to be the owner, was very friendly, had great energy! Bagels were delicious. Enjoyed the funky vibe. Locals seem to love the place too. We particularly enjoyed the option to purchase a quick coffee via the kiosk if you didn’t want to wait in line. Good idea guys!

Stopped in Brunswick briefly on our way to Portland and omg, this place made us wish we booked an Airbnb here instead! From a Kali Ma statue to random framed pictures of Bill Murray, or Christmas lights and New Orleans beads, there’s no shortage of freaking cool things to look at. Then, last but not least theres some BOMB coffee and even more stellar service to rave about. Tried one of the house specials, the cafe bonbon. OMG, it tasted like a coconut Vietnamese coffee. Did not expect that but loved it. Now I understand why a coffee shop on such a sleepy quiet street had a long line out the door. While we waited, couldn’t help but overhear the hilarious conversations between the owner and customers; almost felt as if there was no wait, everyone was treated like friends and family, both locals and tourist passers by alike! Bonus: there’s a nice outdoor patio in the back

Incredible, amazing everything good. Great conversation with the barista. Felt like an actual customer instead of a number or just a name on a cup. Great local knowledge. Coffee was amazing. Highly recommend the cafe Bonbom. Wonderful flavor and texture. We’ll definitely be back.

It's a very nice place. I generally just get coffee and sometimes a muffin, so I haven't tried some of their other food. But the coffee is good and so are the muffins. My only complaint is that it closes at 1. I wish it closed later.

Superb coffee, service, and all around environment. It’s a small space and you’ll definitely wait a while, but 100 perfect worth it! We’ve been everyday of our visit.

Came across here searching for local coffee shops, and it did not disappoint! Walked in to a very pleasant gentleman eager to assist everyone and get to know his guests a little bit! The coffees are fairly priced and delicious! The atmosphere here is amazing, good music and even better decor/vibes!

The atmosphere is something out of a movie.. It seems like everyone knows each other. So warm and welcoming. Also, not sure who the woman at the counter was but she was literally the sweetest human being on the planet. The coffee was out of this world, my boyfriend said the cappuccino was the best he's ever had. We will absolutely be back, and looking forward to it!❤

Best coffee. Best food. Love the atmosphere. Love!

Great coffee, friendly staff, and an awesome vibe. Can't wait to come back! 🤙🏾

Best place for coffee, breakfast, lunch, and DINNER! Amazing burgers, friendly staff. Try it.

World-class cappuccino in a one-of-a-kind environment! The owner/operator carefully curates the best beans and local pastries/bagels to provide a unique cafe experience of high quality options. The environment exudes creative and independent-entrepreneurial vibes. They even host a street art residency each year. The staff are fantastic; being interesting and hard-working must be job requirements. The line can get long so bring your patience but, know that it is always worth the wait. Dog Bar Jims and it's associated side hustles (Larrys, Auntie Mookies, etc) is my favorite Brunswick institution.

Dog Bar Jim is the best local coffee shop in the Midcoast. The owner is a sole proprietor and operator and knows his stuff w/r/t coffee, with many years of experience in the arena. His cortados are properly strong, intense, and just the right amount of milk to tackle the natural acidity of the espresso. Great brewed coffee choices as well as baked goods and breakfast items. The establishment has a casual vibe and is equally suitable for regulars and visitors. You can't go wrong here. Great location in the eminently walkable and charming Brunswick. Not far from Bowdoin College, Maine State Music Theatre and Maine Street.

Excellent! We always enjoy the great coffee, food and warm& friendly atmosphere.
