When this coffee shop first opened years ago it was very nice, pleasant owner, atmosphere and food. Unfortunately when I tried it the other week it was completely different. The food was poor and the service was worse. They had nothing left on the menu so we ended up getting what they had available but really we should have left. We ended up hacing to leave instead of eating at our table because it was so smokey our eyes burned and it was overwhelmingly hot. It went from a very nice little niche place to something I would never go to again. Had a bargain basement feel with no quality left. Not trying to be mean but just being honest.

Coffee is as bitter at the experience. Highly judgmental staff. Some narcissistic customers are snarky and think they're perfect.

Cute and quaint little shop. Great coffee and good food. My only suggestion would be better lighting and more precision on menu options.

This is a decent little cafe. The food appears to be well thought out, however, every dish is missing the one essential ingredient required to be great: flavor. The soups and chicken salad lack flavor.

Skip this place and go to Higher Grounds instead. We stopped to try as we like intelligentsia coffee and took one sip of our drink and threw the rest out. To add to our disappointment, the man that waited on us was quite rude! We won't return~

Love this place! The atmosphere, the coffee, the homemade specials... can't beat it!! It's definitely worth a visit.

Stopped here this morning for breakfast. I had a Chocolate Chip muffin and a multi Berry w/hibiscus Refresher. The muffin was so good and the refresher was just as good.

Food is great! Coffee is just as good and staff is nice. I do wish the inside was a little more updated and possibly had an area for customers to enjoy some studying, a book or conversation over coffee with some nice lounge chairs.

I had a small get together here and it was the perfect place. Brian was so helpful and collaborative. The room we were given was private and large with lots of seating.

Quiet. Homey not too loud. Popular but not too busy.

Highly recommend going to 9 East Coffee whenever you are in Freeport. Food and coffee are consistently delicious. Prices are affordable and reflect the high quality food and service.

Very nice place to meet up with friends and have breakfast. The owner and employees are always very pleasant. Nice variety of coffees and teas. Their iced mocha is a real treat in the summer! I've sampled a few of their sweets, and enjoyed them. Their quiche is good also.

Great cold brew and quick service! Conveniently located downtown. There are two side rooms, which allows space for groups or simply solitude if you come by to work on a project. I will be back!
