There's nothing like a cup of hot or iced coffee to give you that much-needed energy boost to tackle the day ahead.

For some, getting that caffeine kick can make a difference in the day, and we don't blame you. It can be hard waking up on Monday morning to go to work after already dealing with the Sunday scaries. And even if you enjoy your job, that doesn't change the fact that our bodies are tired, and may need some extra assistance to get that pep in our step.

This writer is by no means a coffee aficionado, but rather thrives on iced vanilla chais, refreshers, and special seasonal drinks. But regardless of what your coffee preferences are or how often you find yourself in line at your local cafe or drive-thru, everyone has that special coffee shop they love visiting. Of course, many would gravitate towards the large chains like Dunkin' (woot woot), but what about the beloved local businesses that just call Maine home, or at least New England?

We went on Facebook to ask what some of your favorite local coffee shops in Maine were, and learned about a whole lot of places scattered throughout the Pine Tree State. Let's take a look at 20 of them.
