“Simply the best pastries, coffee and sandwiches! If you crave real croissants, a great latte, and a delicious sandwich or inventive salad with top notch ingredients, this is the place to go.“

“Wow. What a find Lil’s Cafe was! Our family stopped in Kittery for the night while heading to Acadia. I love finding unique coffee spots and Lil’s was so much more than I expected! Seeing the pastries and hearing all the recommendations from the locals, we knew we had to get more than coffee. The crullers and almond croissant were out of this world! Melt in your mouth deliciousness. I’m looking forward to another visit to Kittery just to go to Lil’s. 😊“

“The decor and the coffee takes me back directly to Turkiye. Looking to go back and try other things!“

“I love this place. Everyone is just so friendly and warm. It's so nice to be in a place that remembers that I am your consumer. I'm consuming your thaichovski with a little chocolate and a shot (no rum though, weak!)....But I'm also consuming your smiles, your good energy and your kindness. Thanks for keeping me going all day! See you tomm! Love, Wonderwoman“

“Only the coolest coffee shop in NH… great music, cool vibes, friendly staff, it’s clean and has yummy coffee and banana bread :) I wish they had iced coffee but the cold brew, chai lattes and matcha lattes are bomb! Thank you Breakaway Cafe!“

“This is the only coffee shop I've found in a roughly 15 mile radius around here that consistently makes a quite good latte. (Most of the competition around here burns their lattes...). These guys also have some really good crepes and a huge tea selection - plus you're supporting a good cause!“

“Fantastic sandwiches and fries and cookies and ketchup, etc. I love their food because it always tastes so homey and that homemade ketchup is just phenomenal. I don’t get to come here often so it’s a special treat when I’m able to… if only I lived closer!!“

“Ramon and his family are THE sweetest people on campus and deserve all of our appreciation and attention! They always make their food and drinks perfectly and with love and serve it to you with the most lovely smile that makes anyone’s day better. Their prices can be a lot but as a very small business, they should be rewarded for all they do for us UNH students and staff :) HIGHLY recommend you try! My go-to’s at Ramon’s are a sesame bagel with cream cheese and an iced caramel creme coffee with almond milk and sugar :P“

“I’ve been working for companies at Pease on and off for a dozen years now and Belle Peppers has been my go-to lunch spot for just as long. In addition, my company frequently orders catering from them so I don’t think I go more than a couple of days without eating something from Belle Peppers. The staff is always friendly and I’ve never had a disappointing experience. It definitely gets busy around lunchtime but if you go there regularly like me you know how to get in and get out quickly. Try the spicy chicken sandwich!“

“Amazing food of all kinds for lunch and breakfast, even a quick snack.

Vegetarian options: Lots of dishes with no animal things

Parking: 45+ of spots near the entrance

Kid-friendliness: A kids area with a chalkboard, chalk, and lowered seats with an equally lowered table

Wheelchair accessibility: No stars, might need help with the doors though“

“Terrific sandwiches. Love their lavender lemonade.“

“Haven’t tried their coffee yet, BUT we stumbled in hungry and ended up having a very pleasant experience. My friend and I both ordered smoothies and they were AMAZING. You can tell their ingredients were fresh and their staff were so lovely and sweet. One of the owners, Ryan, greeted us and made sure we were taken care of. He was so friendly and can’t wait to check out their other coffee shop by the beach. Highly recommend the sun beam.“

“Update - 8:00PM March 8, gave the location another try and had a much better experience. The woman working was friendly and, though there was still a couple minute wait at the window (she looked to be in the middle of something), my coffee and sandwich came out right away. I drove away with a smile.Old - 8:00PM March 7, two brightly lit neon signs that say “Open,” the radio playing music inside, but here I am sitting at the drive through window for over 5 minutes and didn’t even see movement inside. No other customers as far as I could tell. Left without ordering.“

“Fine pastries made by chef Sharif and his team… great espresso with a French vibe all the way down to the bistro chairs and marble top tables situated in a picturesque cobblestone alley overhung by ivy and beautiful trees. Portsmouth’s greatest hidden gem that everyone seems to know about.“

“They had a backup of delivery orders when I went in, and handled it with such calm. I was particularly impressed when they mentioned they are all newer employees. I got the avocado and egg sandwich - my only complaint is that I wish it had more substance to it. More avocado, or bacon, or another egg. For $10, it doesn't feel quite worth it for an egg, two slices of bacon, and half an avocado.“

“Ordered a Lox sandwich in a toasted everything bagel with a large coffee.
Friendly staffers. Pricey was relatively reasonable <$14.
The bagel itself was thin & OK but the bagel's inside was a bit mushy, as in somewhat undercooked. Need to spread the filling to the entire bagel instead of just the middle, which squeezed out upon eating.
Only bagels or bagel sandwiches with some muffins & drinks, nothing else really.

Parking: Shared with Dairy Queen.“

“We loved our visit to The Tipsy Tabby! the cafe is very cozy and sweet, and the employees were warm and welcoming. Our time in the lounge with the cats was just wonderful! It has such a quiet and relaxing atmosphere, and the cats have control over whether they interact with people or not, having plenty of high perches to snooze on if they're not in the mood to play. That made me happy. I can't wait to go back!“

“These girls at this aromas are amazing. I’m typically a mess when I show up because I haven’t had my caffeine yet and they make me laugh always get my order right and quick and sometimes leave me encouragement on my cup. I didn’t typically shop here until I moved to the town, but it’s my new favorite place to buy coffee and caffeine. Bros for life“

“Fantastic food, they have many types of organic drinks.(kombucha on tap, coffees, espressos) Actual nutrient dense food for an affordable price. I got the cali wrap and it was amazing. 10/10 would recommend.“

“finally stopped in here and wish I had come sooner! great food and amazing people.“

“One best breakfast wrap I ever had ..great place“

“Stopped at Ceres Bakery on our way from Falmouth to Portland on the recommendation of a friend. My husband got the Roasted Turkey sandwich with garlic aioli and I ordered the Kale Salad as a wrap with added Tofu. Easy and quick to-go lunch. Bakery was cute, employees were friendly, food was good, bathroom was not great…“

“We went to try the crepes, but the station was closed at that time. We met Morgan, a wonderful human being who recommended us some pastries instead... there were delicious!!!
She also gave us a gift card for the next time to have our crepes.
Sofia and the other girl (I couldn't have her name, sorry) serving in the Cafe were very nice.
I definitely recommend this place. There are different stations with different types of food.
The place is really beautiful and clean.
You can have coffee, pastries, pizza, sandwiches, heavy meals, and also they have a bar.
We definitely will be back.“

“Love the Thirst Quencher juice and Power Plate breakfast! As a keto dieter, it can be challenging to find as-is menu options that fit the bill. The Thirst Quencher and Power Plate combo is the perfect keto breakfast... packed with nutrition and very tasty! And yes, things are bit pricier. Blame our government/big corporations, not the restaurant, for making healthy foods expensive.“

“I went to Pink Hippo Cafe for the first time yesterday. I wasn't sure what to order but the batista helped me decide. she asked me to taste it before I paid for it to make sure it was right. when I tell you her customer service skills are off the charts, I mean 20 out 10, highly recommend!!! Good customer service is rare nowadays. I wish I lived closer, I would go everyday! She was kind, friendly and helpful.“

“Shared a wonderful lunch with a friend today, very much enjoyed the friendly service and gluten free options!“

“Highly recommend this store - great selection, knowledgeble staff, convenient location and parking.“

“Bill and I had the lobster spring rolls and the gyoza this afternoon. Absolutely amazing flavors!! Can't wait to try everything else! Thank you!“

“I highly recommend the sandwiches.“

“Pretty good place to have a coffee. They have great flavors and sitting outside is nice, but the inside atmosphere is not great. It gets busy and loud so doing homework is not something most people can do. It's also connected to a Subway, which is either a bonus or a negative, depending on your feelings!“

“It's a very nice warm comforting place to eat at. It is not really a place to eat dinner at.... But breakfast, snack, lunch is really good. The only thing I don't like is their breakfast menu is only for breakfast, not snack or lunch, so that's a little annoying“

“I've been to a lot of Paneras and this is one of the Paneras that I have been to.

I have eaten food at a lot of Paneras and the food I had hear tasted like the food I've had at other ones.

It is and does what it says on the tin.“
