Bintliff’s Corner Brew

The food is is amazing and affordable. It rivals any of the fancy spots in Portland and South. Seating is a little but of a nightmare when it's busy, but I'm telling you it's well worth it. Coffee is some of the best I've ever had as well. This is a MUST VISIT spot.

Went in on a recommendation and we were so happy that we tried it. I had the Garden omelette and he had the Fireman’s omelette and they were both absolutely delicious! Huge portions (I took half of mine home) and a really neat atmosphere. I wish they had a little more seating but I guess it’s less of an issue in the summer with additional outdoor seating. The pastry case also looked amazing but I had no room to try anything else! Yummy!

The food was excellent. We had an eggs benedict and the fireman's omelet. Both are very good. When you go in, you get a menu, go to the counter, and place your order, get your coffee or other drink. They will give you a buzzer, then go find a table. When your buzzer goes off, you go get your food. After you are done eating, you take your dishes to the bus buckets.

Small eating area, the decor is great. Seating areas range from high top tables, booth style tables, and comfortable sofa style chairs with coffee tables.

If there is a negative is seating. Is limited, for some who do not like close in dinning they may feel claustrophobic. For me this was an enjoyable environment.

There is an outside seating area.

The food was excellent! I had a turkey, bacon, apple, cheddar melt. The turkey was a good quality with nice hints of apple.

Coffee station is a traditional carafe style a good selection of maybe 12 brews.

Using the sofa chairs and eating at the coffee tables, in a group of three with a two year old, I found very enjoyable.

I look forward to another visit to explore the menu further.

Favorite place in Gardener.
Self serve style with Indoor and Outdoor steering. Great food with some easy vegetarian accommodations.
Drinks were fun and a rotating specialty drink.

While visiting family in Maine, we stopped by for breakfast and loved it so much, we went back again!! Food was delicious and the staff was friendly and very efficient. We had their eggs Benedict and a grilled cheese bagel. The weather was so mild on our second visit that we sat outside. They have small tables out front and a space around the corner with larger tables. Would highly recommend.

Amazing food ! I am from Jersey and It was my first time in Maine and they made me feel so welcomed. Not to mention the amazing food ! ☺ definitely coming back with friends

Food- wow. A hidden gem! Best Eggs Benedict around! Generous portions, quick service. Crowded, but you can't blame them!

Wow! Had breakfast at Bintliff’s Corner Brew this morning and absolutely loved it! The space may be small but it is really beautiful and so cozy and comfortable; it can accommodate pretty much anyone who wants to eat-in. I ordered the Corned Beef Hash and was stunned when I got it: a massive amount of real corned beef in hearty chunks along with potato, onion, sweet potato, and a good dash of seasoning. Two perfectly poached eggs sat on top, making the dish look like a snow-capped mountain range. I had to forgo the ‘Tuscan toast’ (because- gluten) but I imagine it was just as delicious as the rest of the meal. I have aways been a big eater but I couldn’t eat more than half of the serving. Fortunately they have take-out boxes so, for just under $16, I had breakfast and I have dinner too!
There is a bank of air pots with a variety of coffees and 1/2 & 1/2, oat milk, and other options to add. Service was friendly and welcoming; when the young woman who took my order learned I was a first-timer, she took the time to explain to me how the whole process works. I have a new favorite place for breakfast - or even just for coffee. Bintliff’s Corner Brew is a fabulous addition to downtown Gardiner!

This place was packed at 11:30 am with good reason! I had the best breakfast here. Delicious homemade bread and coffee to go with my meal. I already had eaten the eggs off this dish (veggie home fries) before snapping the photo. So good! I seriously felt like I was eating at a European cafe.

Such a great experience… The staff is fantasticly friendly! Reminds me of the OG spot in Portland, but with a softer more comfortable vibe. Menu is elevated food with good value. I am a huge fan.

Went to another place for Brunch (who shall remain nameless) that I had been going to since a child and sadly they kicked us out at the door after waiting an hour in line because we had not had a "reservation" which there was no mention of needing on on their website or any signs posted. I was bummed and in search of a good place for a Brunch. Well a few days after I was told about Bintliff's and decided to check it out. This place is hands down the best brunch in all of Kennebec County and blows the unnamed brunch place out of the water. The veggie omelet was a Boursin cheese paradise stuffed full of fresh variety of veggies. The Iced coffee was much bigger and better than the commercially known places for coffee. The creme brulee french toast was to die for. The Menu selections and the atmosphere was what made this a beautiful dining experience. I highly recommend coming here for Brunch you will not be disappointed!

This was our first visit and definitely won’t be our last! The food was incredible, the staff and service were friendly and inviting, and the atmosphere was very relaxing! We ate outside in the patio area, even though it was misting a little because there was no seating available inside. It was definitely great to see how popular and packed it was at 9:30 am. Speaks volumes about the place! The only “downside” was that there was no high chair or booster seat for our toddler and no kids menu either. We had to order her a full meal, which was a little costly as she only ate about a quarter of it. Would love to see a kids menu (even if it’s just a few options) and have a high chair and booster seat available. Other than that, wonderful place, fantastic food, and kind staff! We will be back!

The hype for this place is so well deserved! The coffee is soooooo good and I’m not even a huge coffee person. I had the corned beef hash and my fiancé had the French toast. It was so good. The vibe and the customer service was a 10/10. Will definitely be back!

This place is a hidden gem. We came here on a saturday, and the seating here is pretty limited so we did have to wait to find a table but the wait wasn’t long at all. We got there around 12 and all the pasteries were already sold out so if you want to try them get there early! The coffee was fantastic, and the food was pretty good as well. Fair prices and good portions. The decor here is super relaxed and welcoming. We will absolutely be back soon.

i only wandered in here because i desperately needed a coffee and a morning sh*t and was parked across the way... but what a surprise! their tea selection first made me consider being good to my poor body today so i opted for a turmeric. very good. bottomless, actually. then i saw they have a lox bagel, which by god i can never say no to. so i had to get it. not only was it REALLY GOOD, it was extremely GENEROUS and big!! i have have many bagel and lox in my short life, more than most i would reckon. this was probably just about the best i ever had and that's not cap my friends. i spent a good time here relaxing and charging my phone and reading that morning. everyone working there was very friendly and so kind! i really liked the random old books around, i read a couple of passages here or there and i know god was speaking to me then! and the dried flowers on the ceiling too. this really was one of the best coffee shops i've ever encountered in all 47 states i have explored.. yum yum yay. thanks guys god bless

Absolutely cute with a vintage, cozy feel coffee house. There are 3 seating areas to enjoy your coffee, tea, breakfast, brunch or lunch snack. They have bagels, cinnamon rolls, wraps ect. A bar area near a huge window to people watch, a seating area with big comfy chairs as well as tables. There is a outside sitting area next to the building with old sewing tables made into the tables! The staff was friendly and amazing! This place is a must stop if you need a caffeine pick you up or just to check this fabulous place out! Please see their website or FB page for when they are open and availability of their menu.

A local gem! Absolutely delicious coffee & brunch. Everyone who I have brought here loves it & returns. Amazing service too!

This is a very cute European style Cafe. The menu is always changing with fresh exciting options and amazing espresso based drinks. Not to mention the friendly staff and gorgeous pastries in the display case. I FEEL LIKE I AM BEING TRANSPORTED BACK TO EDINBURGH!

If you are in Gardiner you must stop by Spoke Coffee. One of the best cups of Coffee I've had in a long while. Also shout out to Taylor! Thank you for your hospitality. The shop was so warm and inviting.
