** Our Story
** At Tandem Coffee, we believe in the power of great coffee, exceptional baked goods, and fostering a community vibe that keeps people coming back. Since opening in 2012 in Portland, Maine, we’ve grown into a community hub for locals and visitors alike. We roast our own coffee and have two cafe locations in Portland - our first is on Anderson St in Portland's popular East Bayside which operates as a tasting room to our roastery there with elevated coffee service and selections.

The second is a James Beard-nominated bakery on Congress St in Portland's West End that has been featured in Bon Appétit.

Tandem as a whole is a team of passionate, creative folks who care about quality, kindness, and a lot of humor. Join us in shaping what’s next at either of our cafe locations or in our roastery!####
