York Maine Coffee Shops: There Aren't Any Like Anthony's

Aside from offering our own locally roasted coffee through Anthony’s Small Batch Roasters, Anthony’s is also home to one of the best cafés in York, Maine. We’re definitely a bit biased, but we don’t think anyone who’s been in before will disagree. And if you don't know, now you do! Don't just plan to dine and dash; come in and stay a while! Whether you’re looking for our signature coffee, one of our amazing cookies, a slice of cake, a fresh croissant, or any other baked good to pair with your cup, you’ll find it here. Not only are we less than 10 minutes from Short Sands and Long Sands beaches, but our right-off-the-highway location makes us the perfect first or last stop for wherever your day is taking you. We're close enough to make the trip from wherever you are, but if time isn't your friend Anthony's still makes sense. No matter what your schedule holds, know this: you can swing by for a coffee on your way to the beach, but Anthony’s is a place to sit down and relax as well.

A Café Made For Lingering

In the same area as our coffee counter and bagel case, you’ll find circular stools set against a granite countertop, natural wood accents throughout, and big windows that fill the space with natural light. This is where the coffee shop atmosphere really comes alive — grab a seat, pick up a bag of Anthony’s Small Batch Roasters beans (or some Anthony’s merch to take home), and fine-tune your cup at our coffee station stocked with every fixing you could want. It’s the kind of spot where we want our guests to be able to hold important conversations or make memories, whether it's catching up with a friend, getting a little work done, or just enjoying a quiet moment before the rest of your day starts. Did we mention that there's also live music and actual in-shop coffee roasting for our guests to watch on some mornings?

A Sit-Down Spot For The Whole Table

On the other side of Anthony’s Food Shop, you’ll find a different kind of space entirely:
tables and half booths set in a larger, open dining area built for groups. This isn’t just a stop-
and-chat corner — it’s where we want our guests to sit down for breakfast, lunch, or whatever meal fits your visit, with enough room for the whole crew. Whether you’re bringing the family in after a morning at the beach or meeting up with friends for brunch, this side of Anthony’s is designed for our guests to stay a while. Our favorite part about being located in a small community like York is the people that our business is able to bring together through good food and beverages. If you've never come in and taken a seat, it would make our day if you did.

Let Us Be Your New Sit Down Spot

The next time someone tells you Anthony’s is just a stop and go spot, let them know we're more than that! Coffee dates, meetings, getting work done - we welcome you in for it all! You can't think about York, Maine coffee shops without Anthony's coming to mind. Whether you’re pulling up a stool for a coffee or settling into a half booth for a full meal, we have a seat with your name on it.
