Docs Cafe & Marketplace

Simple breakfast with just a few choices. You order at the counter and they bring it to your cozy table. Yummy blueberry pancakes! Made from scratch. Local Maine blueberries. The best tasting blueberry pancakes I have ever had!

At every breakfast place I eat at I try the corned beef hash. Doc’s café in Cumberland has the best corned beef hash I’ve ever had anywhere. It starts with their own homemade brined corned beef. Then it is combined with the perfect ratio of potatoes, fried to crispy on the outside but still juicy on the inside. Rather than diced into tiny dry cubes, the corner beef is left in tender chunks. Then topped off with two perfectly cooked over easy eggs.
My wife and I eat here most Friday mornings. We love it. Great overall breakfast, great lunches with home-​brined hams and meats and possibly the world’s best corned beef hash.

I love their BBQ pork panini! Great lunch menu! :) i always get it before I go studying for an exam! :)

Friend and I stopped here for brunch last weekend on way to Freeport. Delicious corned beef hash, strong coffee and friendly service. Wish I lived closer!

I stopped at docs for the second time today and decided to try something new. The Homemade Corn-​beef Hash with two eggs and toast stood out on the menu, so I decided to order that. The service was fast and very personable. It feels as though everybody that works there says hello. Not to mention, the ambiance is super relaxed and perfect for starting your day.
Just like my first visit, the food was phenomenal. The eggs and hash were off the charts delicious. My only regret is not eating the meal slower to savor the delicious flavors. If docs keeps this up, I will be a regular in no time!

Messiest Ruben ever. Grease and water filled the bottom of the plate – like corned beef or sauerkraut weren’t drained. Wifes burrito was teeny and wasnt very tasty. For 21 dollars, the price was steep for 2 sandwiches a coffee and soda.

Nice out of the way eatery. You order at the cash register and seat yourself. Remember to pick up your utensils and napkins before you go to the available indoor or outdoor table. There was a wait for the food, but the food is good. Nice time, and we enjoyed ourselves. Took awhile to give this review as I wanted to be in the correct frame of mind. It is what it is, nothing really special, nothing really bad.

Lovely spot. Very good breakfast burritos. Grill nights on Thursdays in the summer are a home run every time. Wonderful steaks, fun sangria, and amazing bacon jalapeño mac ‘n cheese. Live music on grill nights too. I don’t even live in Cumberland, but I find myself eating at Doc’s a lot!

Just had the BEST Lobster Stew of my life and the Reuben would definitely stand up to Katz’s Deli. In food heaven

Oh I am so happy to have found this place! I was driving through on business and needed to grab a quick lunch, and this spot looked promising. Sort of tucked off the main road and with ample outdoor seating, I was sold. The service was super friendly but, honestly, quite slow… I was glad I wasn’t in a hurry. But the sandwich was damn delicious, they had lots of yummy sounding options on the menu, and the pickle! Oh, the pickle.

Awesome place. A real hidden gem. Great outdoor seating especially during the summer. Had the turkey and brie samdwhich and it was excelent. I highly recommend it. I hope to be back soon

Came for breakfast based on many 5 star reviews.
Service was good. Staff was friendly. Nice location, no ambiance, there were a few outdoor tables.
Food was average. It was fine, but nothing special. They were out of sausage at 9 on Saturday morning, not impressed by that.
Took off a full star for charging for refill on coffee. That seems incredibly cheap if your listening, Doc.

How can I begin to express my absolute love for this restaurant… for starters, this place feels like home. It is laid back with comfortable ambiance and big comfy couches along with traditional seating. The upstairs room is perfect to eat with our temperamental toddler so he doesn’t bother the diners downstairs. Kid friendly for sure but also a great casual date spot. The staff is incredible. They are so helpful and it is apparent that they love working here. Lastly the food is all homemade and so tasty! Their burritos are the bomb. Free wifi! Eating here will be the best decision you will make all day.

Very impressed! Was looking for a quick breakfast after an appointment and found one of the BEST breakfast meals I have had in a long time. I ordered the corned beef hash which came with two eggs and toast for $ 7.95. The hash was homemade with bits of real veggies and tons of corned beef — very, very good. The over easy eggs and toast were perfect as well — even came with HOMEMADE jam and peanut butter — pretty incredible for a small business like this.
I even got a sample of their pumpkin whoopie pies — divine. Service was great, coffee was hot (Coffee by Design) and the cook who brought my meal out was passionate about the food — which I love.
Would definitely go there again, if not for breakfast, then for a pastry. A+

Cumberland is a nice community, but not exactly the center of the culinary universe. Heck, it’s hard to find a place to grab generic gas station coffee and a prepackaged donut at 6:30 am.
Doc’s Café & Marketplace, where the late local legend, Dr. Louis Hanson, served his community as their doctor for more than two decades, has been turned into a great local eatery, featuring homemade breakfast items, coffee, fruit and yogurt, and a variety of other foods, as well as lunch, too.
My wife and I frequently swim at the Greely pool, and on select Fridays, we’ve started making Doc’s our breakfast date spot. They offer a great breakfast burrito – perfect for apres swim hunger pangs. The burrito is stuffed with scrambled eggs, roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, and I like to add sausage (you can also choose bacon, ham, or go meatless if that’s your preference), wrapped in a flour tortilla. They ask if you’d like a side of salsa and sour cream, which I give a thumbs up to!
Miss Mary had the blueberry pancakes this morning (with whipped cream), and she loved them.
Doc’s serves Coffee by Design coffee, which is also a plus.
During the summer, on Thursday nights (I think?), they fire up the grill and offer burgers, sausage, and other items from 5:00 to 8:00 at night, along with live music.

Best staff, Outstanding food, amazing price point, charming décor, well thought out use age of space, stay away from bakery– haz to health. LOL! Ample parking and in and out traffic flow! Keep up the excellent MoJo!

Wow! Absolutely charming atmosphere with delicious made to order food! My daughter and I stopped by looking for a quick snack and were surprised to find such an extensive menu. She had blueberry pancakes and I had the haddock chowder. The chowder was huge, fresh and the best I’ve had in a long time. Very reasonably priced, with friendly attentive staff. Great job Cumberland!

So yummy and a perfect hangout! Best blueberry pancakes– ever!

I ate two meals here during a recent visit to Cumberland. It is a GREAT little restaurant with delicious food. Apparently they make almost everything from scratch, including the bread for many of their sandwiches. It is priced reasonably, the staff are all really friendly, and the food is delicious. The atmosphere is also really neat, as I’m pretty sure it’s located in a historic building of some sort. Their coffees and teas are also really good.
I ordered an omelette for breakfast one day, and came back the next day and ordered their Reuben sandwich special. It was one of the most delicious reubens I’ve ever had in my life. I got it on marble rye, and it was cooked to perfection. One of the chef’s came out to ask us how everything was, which I thought was a nice touch.
Next time I find myself in the area, I will be sure to stop by Doc’s for another delicious meal.

New on the block, but with some history. I hope this place does well, because Cumberland could certainly use a nice café where you can stop and get some afternoon reading or work done.
I thought the food was up to par, the staff was friendly and helpful.
