About Frontside Coffee Roasters
Frontside Coffee Roasters says it has been at home in North Conway since 1998. Its downtown café combines espresso and brewed coffee with fresh food in a bright storefront and a south-facing seasonal patio overlooking the Moat Mountains.
The business roasts in North Conway and describes controlling the process from green-bean delivery through roasting and final preparation. It also offers coffee education, wholesale service, and online ordering.
This is a practical independent stop within the village rather than a generic chain. Current menu, pickup timing, and hours remain live-business details, so use the official order flow or call before building a tight pre-train schedule.

Pair it with the train
Why it belongs in a Conway Scenic Railroad trip
The café is roughly a short village walk north of North Conway Station. It works best before a later train or after the Valley Train; leave a conservative return buffer for assigned boarding.
