CATFACE
noun · a partially healed scar on a tree or log
OUR STORY
And no, the name has nothing to do with cats. “Catface” is a logging term: the healed scar left in wood from the work of harvesting it. Long before Biddeford was a textile town, it was a lumber town. Sawmills have run on this stretch of the Saco River since 1653, and by 1800 there were seventeen of them cutting timber day and night.
That's the mark we're named for: the kind that stays with something as it keeps growing. Biddeford is growing too. The mill buildings that once ran on that timber are now apartments, studios and small businesses, and we're proud to be part of the city's comeback.
We make breakfast sandwiches, lunch and coffee with the same care in cup one and cup one hundred. Come as you are. Leave full.
THE ROOM
The sawblade at the center of our mural, the big white pine communal table and the wall of white pine discs were all built by hand. Stay a while with a laptop, catch up with friends, or grab something on your way back to work.
OUR COFFEE
Our light and dark roasts come in 12 oz whole bean bags, shipped anywhere in the US. The light roast is bright and sweet, with floral notes, a little lemon, and a caramel finish. The dark roast is bold and full-bodied, with chocolate, cherry, and a touch of smoke. Buy our coffee
