The Grateful Cup's menu gives you several ways to plan a Portland, Maine takeout stop: coffee, a smoothie bowl, a blended drink or juice. The useful distinction is what you want to carry away—not an assumed table inside. The café says it has no indoor dining, with outdoor picnic tables available during warmer months.
Start with the café's current Square menu. This guide offers a few examples to help you navigate it, then covers pickup, seating and two details worth confirming before you travel. Our Grateful Cup profile keeps the official contact and menu links together.
A short guide to the menu
These examples were checked October 5, 2026. They are not a full menu or a promise of availability when you order.
| What you are looking for | An example to find on the menu |
|---|---|
| An espresso drink | Gimme Some Latte combines espresso with your milk selection. |
| A bowl with toppings | New Speedway Banana has a banana, peanut-butter and almond-milk base. Its toppings include banana, raspberries, granola and honey. |
| A fruit smoothie | Tropicali Blues combines pineapple, strawberry, mango and banana with orange juice. |
| Juice | Cosmic Carrot pairs carrot and orange with ginger and lemon. |
The bowl listing says optional add-ins go into the blended base, rather than becoming extra toppings. Read that detail before customizing. For ingredient questions or a particular dietary requirement, contact the café instead of treating a short menu description as a guarantee.
The About page also mentions salads, but we did not see a salad section in the ordering menu reviewed for this update. That does not establish that salads have been discontinued. If a salad is the reason for your trip, ask what is available before leaving.
Take it with you, or plan for outdoor seating
Choose where you will eat before arranging a café meet-up. A pickup can fit a stop on the way elsewhere; an outdoor catch-up depends on the weather and whether the seasonal tables are available that day. Neither plan should depend on finding an indoor seat here.
If indoor seating is essential, browse our Portland cafés and coffee directory and confirm the chosen café's arrangements. The LB. location guide distinguishes its dine-in café from its separate grab-and-go branches.
Check the pickup details before setting off
The official site links to Square for ordering. The contact page also lists 207-712-0239 for telephone orders. Review your selected items, collection instructions and confirmed pickup time. A link to an ordering page is not an accepted order.
Two details need care:
- Morning hours: the official homepage shows different opening times in its desktop and mobile views: 7:30 a.m. and 7 a.m. Both list Wednesday as closed. The contact page lists Thursday–Tuesday, 7:30 a.m.–4 p.m. Confirm directly if you are planning an early stop.
- Address label: the café's website gives 46 Veranda Street, Portland, ME 04103. Square labels the pickup location “46 Veranda Ave.” Use the café's official directions and check the collection location if that difference causes confusion; do not assume it means a second branch.
