Mornings in Paris

Mornings in Paris is a small coffee shop in Kennebunk that leans into pastry-shop charm. They pull espresso drinks, brew specialty lattes (matcha, chai, seasonal blends), and bake crepes and macarons in-house. The crowd skews toward tourists and locals seeking a quiet spot to linger with a drink.

• Seasonal lattes and specialty drinks beyond standard coffee.
• Large, reasonably priced gluten-free macarons.
• Cozy, quiet room with soft music and comfortable seating.
• Second visits keep guests coming back.

Get a seasonal or specialty latte (matcha, chai, or their Valentine's blend have loyal fans). The macarons are a standout and worth ordering. Crepes are worth trying if you're there after 8 a.m., though texture has been hit or miss. Skip the sandwiches if you're hungry; stick with pastries instead.

Compact and warm, with soft background music. It gets crowded midmorning, so consider going early or placing a to-go order if you prefer quiet.

Visitors rave about the quality of lattes and the macarons, which are large and reasonably priced. They also offer gluten-free options. Fair warning: several guests have reported issues with sandwich fillings being sparse and crepes coming out dense, and one diner had a poor experience with early-morning staffing (espresso machine not yet running at 7:15 a.m.). Service consistency seems to vary.

Guests praise the seasonal drinks and macarons, and many return for repeat visits. One recent visitor called the Valentine's latte something they'd 'order regularly if I could.' Those with celiac disease appreciate the gluten-free macarons. That said, a handful of diners reported dense crepes, dry sandwiches, and inconsistent staffing at opening.
