"Set inside a tiny white building with pink trim, Little Woodfords is where one stops to grab a cup of excellent coffee and a pastry before wandering around the East End. It has a small patio just off to the side if one wishes to hang around for a bit and watch others come and go. Make sure to check out its featured drinks, which are based on the current astrological star sign. The pastries come from a rotating list of superstar local bakers, like Chaval’s Ilma Lopez (see below). Little Woodfords is open for outdoor dining and takeout." - Briana Volk

"Bright and sunny, with white wainscotting, shiplapped walls, plants aplenty, blonde wood, and pastel pops of color, Little Woodfords is made for Instagram. The shop serves Vivid Coffee, a specialty coffee roaster from outside Burlington, Vermont. It's a standard drinks menu, plus a few outliers like an iced shorty, espresso with tonic, and a vanilla-rosemary latte. It's new to the revitalizing Woodfords Corner , joining the nearby restaurants Woodfords F&B , Bayou Kitchen, Bird & Co., and The Great Lost Bear." - Kate McCarty

Such a cute little coffee shop tucked in between the hustle and bustle. Had a latte and tried several pastries - they were delicious!! Super sweet staff too. I would definitely recommend swinging by for some delicious coffee!

Beautiful and delicious latte served in a nice blue cup. Our barista was very nice and brought it to the table. It’s a cute coffee shop with adorable T-shirts for sale with their logo. They have milk out if you need to add extra. They are tastefully decorated with lots of nice plants around.

There are a lot of great coffee roasters in Portland, but this coffee shop is hands-down one of the best coffee places in the whole city. They use beans from Vivid in Vermont and they know exactly what to do with them. The space is warm, charming, and a welcomed breath of fresh air from the “minimalist but lifeless” vibe of super trendy coffee shops. The pops of color, quirky artwork, and cozy seating area makes for a truly joyful sit-down experience. We’ve tried a few of their drinks and LOVE the Shorty (iced cortado) and matcha lattes. The baristas are super talented and do a great job making each drink feel like something special. Try their seasonal drinks, too, as they are usually quite creative!

We just love the folks at Little Woodfords! From the first day on Forrest Ave they felt like home and family. With genuine hearts and real connection to their community and they continue to offer that in their new community on Congress street. The BEST egg & cheese with avocado EVER and beautifully crafted monthly horoscope specialty drinks that are incredible every time. We SO miss being right next to them and wish them all so much love and success in the new year 🥳✨

Beware this gem of a place is truly hole in the wall—there’s no outdoor signage but locals in the know all flock to this little coffee shop with pink exterior and a flag out front. The menu is limited but every single item is on point. Great for coffee and if you’re in for the caloric splurge, an order of avocado toast! Definitely a cute take-out coffee place worth visiting while in Portland Maine.

Such a cute little cafe!! Second time here in the past two years and they’ve really re-vamped their space & menu! Really worth a breakfast visit

Fun little coffee shop that offers its space for community events. It's small but the food and coffee are good. Parking can be a challenge because of the Woodford corners intersection. Owner is a recent transplant who loves the neighborhood and wants to see it grow. Very thoughtful branding, layout and design. The biscuit that my egg came on was excellent. I was a little startled by the enthusiastic "hey, what's going on" greeting from the cashier. Made me think we knew each other even though we didn't

COVID-19 REVIEW: Latte was amazing and cafe is doing it's best to follow Covid guidelines . There is two picnic tables set up next to the cafe for outdoor seating which was a nice touch. Unfortunately, we were really disappointed with the pastries for the day and flavor came up short. We ordered a blueberry scone and zucchini bread and they were not great, also scone was very dry and just okay. Would stick to the coffee and avoid these particular pastries.
