“ Nice coffee shop in the north shore! My wife and I were searching for a coffee shop where we could enjoy a coffee and pastry in a nice and comfortable atmosphere and Lone Gull ended up meeting both of our criteria. We ordered a medium coffee, medium vanilla latte and a sugar cookie that had white chocolate chips. Everything was good and the vanilla latte and the right amount of syrup in it. The cookie was fresh and oversized. It was a nice treat. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was cozy. I felt that there were a lot of regulars in there as there was conversation between a few of the patrons. The pricing was very reasonable as our bill came to less than 9 which would normally be closer to 15 if we placed the same order at a Boston-located coffee shop. Nice place and we’ll be back! ”

“ Awesome coffee! Came here both days of our weekend visit to Gloucester it was so good. Service was very friendly and made us feel like regulars. The seating area is closed due to covid, but there is a marvelous collection of potted plants displayed on the tables that were fun to look at. Highly recommend the Cuban Latte (if you want a sweet treat) and their branded baseball cap as a souvenir! ”
“ Gloucester is one of those place where the people make you feel your family. The Lone Gull is no exception. It's the perfect size, not big, not to small. very comfortable seating. Clean well lit. The food is great, I mostly have had the pastries and they were fresh, right out of the oven fresh. I love coffee so.... an important factor in determining if I'll come back is the quality of you basic coffee. It was Excellent! My Barista was warm, friendly, and very knowledgeable. I try to stop by whenever I'm in Gloucester. ”
“ Addicted to the Cuban Lattes. Never had one you say, well fix that here. Community Coffee Shop for sure. Friend made the map and coffee bean table there check em out while waiting. Great Barista art on wall but she's too modest to tell u it's great. ”
“ Really tasty coffee blend, with nutty/chocolate notes. Reasonably priced despite inflated costs lately. The staff were really kind and friendly, and the interior space is cozy and clean. ”
“ The cuban latte was perfectly done. Ok I do like richly flavored sweet things. A double shot of espresso, 2 spoons of brown sugar and steaming hot half and half cream. This for me is up there with the authentic Cuban cafe con leche you find down in those little Cuban restaurants in Florida. ”
“ Lone Gull has hands down the best coffee in town. The coffee is never burnt and always tastes fresh, and there are so many options amd flavors to choose from. The staff are delightful and always make you feel welcome when you come in. I cannot recommend enough! ”
