Great coffee, tea, and pastries. GF packaged options. Beautiful warm decor and chill vibes. It's so great to grab a quality cup of coffee. Even have pour over available for aficionados.

Probably the best coffeeshop in the area. Not many food options but the drinks are all excellent. The price is also good and the quality is great.

Another liberal place that pre judges people just walk in and see these
This is a gemstone of a local business in Biddeford, ME. My mother and I went here for their second Sunday of the month silent book club. We have the people and atmosphere. Many unique readers joined the event. The staff members were friendly. My mother said her coffee was excellent and I attest that my ginger orange tea was soothing and flavorful. It was worth the drive.

I mean, it seems like Elements is a great place. They serve beer, wine and various coffee drinks amid a book store. They have plenty of seating and the staff was very nice. Here's the problem. There is a strong remote worker vibe here, meaning those tapping in to the wifi at Elements (for whatever reason), buying a coffee or tea and planting in that seat for HOURS! I understand that this is in no way an Elements specific problem, I actually feel really badly for the owners and staff of this business model. I also often wonder how they are able to turn a profit if so many customers take up space and wifi for 3-4 hours on the cost of a latte. Maybe they have a rigorous takeout business? Also, what is a business owner to do about this? I've seen a (very) few places post something, asking customers to limit their table time to one hour, but even that never seems to work. So...very nice spot, but I will be reluctant to return, unless getting something to go.

Best place I've been to in ages...coffee, beer, books? That's a trifecta if I've ever heard one.

If you’re into coffee, books, and brews or wine, Elements might be your type of place. This is hands down my favorite coffee shop in all of Southern Maine. I don’t even reside in Biddeford and will go out of my way to spend some time at Elements — that’s how special it is.I remember the first time I visited Elements last summer. As soon as I walked in, I was taken aback by the incredible atmosphere, extensive coffee menu, and wine + beer options. Seriously, we need more coffee shops offering adult beverages, too.The coffee selection is impressive and — the best part — with some of the best prices in Southern Maine. For instance, you can get a pour-over for $3, and you get to pick your preferred coffee beans. I haven’t seen many other places doing that. The coffee is served in beautiful mugs (if you’re drinking in) that make you feel like you’re at a posh coffee shop. Outside of coffee, you can also choose local beer or a glass of wine, both at excellent prices, too. And that’s exactly what I love about Elements — with what they offer, they could’ve quickly decided to be an overpriced and pretentious coffee shop. We’ve all seen those. But instead, they’re a down-to-earth and welcoming space for everyone.Lastly, the books! They have punch cards where you get one free book after a few purchases, and most of the books are all under the cover price, even though they are brand new. You can get books here at half the price (or more) than traditional bookstores.Elements… please don’t ever change!
Love this place!
