31 Best Cafes near Eliot

“Stopped in for our first time to grab some lunch, and wow! Absolutely delicious!!! We got the chicken salad and the Italian and both were the freshest tasting sandwiches we’ve had in a long time! I was so excited to see that they use boars head for their meat and it comes with a generous portion to say the least!! We are hooked!! The owners are very nice and transformed this spot beautifully! I can’t forget to mention that I had to grab the Shain’s of Maine cookie dough ice cream as a family favorite treat!! If you’re in the area definitely make a stop in!! I can’t wait to try more of their menu and the soups they have to offer!! 🙌🏼 10/10!“

“Two Bees was such a delightful find! Everything about them was perfection. Walking into the cafe, the decor is lovely with a beautiful outdoor patio overlooking the river. The staff was so sweet and just lovely authentic people. But the offerings they had were simply divine. Their croissant was reminiscent of European quality, all their ingredients were fresh and tasty, but the best thing was their passion fruit tart- outstanding! Very highly recommend this place!“

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

“love love love their food. especially there glazed krella. I'm sure I spelled krella wrong. anyway I could eat a dozen of them“

“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“

“Great vibes, great people!“

“Loved the vibe! Food was great, service outstanding - fast and friendly!“

“If you're in Newmarket, June's Café is a must-visit! The espresso is rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced—one of the best I've had locally. And The Loomer sandwich... absolutely delicious! Fresh ingredients, great flavor, and so satisfying. Cozy atmosphere and lovely service, too. Highly recommend! ☕🥪💛“

“The Freedom Cafe has been my go-to place this year. The people are so welcoming and friendly. Angie is always all smiles and somehow remembers most of the patrons' names (how does she do that??). I love the ambiance - good music and great vibes. Amazing drinks (the Almond Joy latte and the tiramisu latte are both oh so good!) and delicious healthy fresh food (my favorite is the 2-egg omelet with pico de gallo and spinach). Durham is so lucky to have this place. I will continue to make the drive from Dover.“

“the service and atmosphere are average. Its well kept and clean. No Christmas deals really. So the store part was disappointing.
But.... The Cafe was really good. And the Lobster BLT was awesome. Its wicked big. And enough for 2 people. I didnt pay attention to the price. But I think it was kind of expensive. But with the amount of Lobster. It was definitely worth it.“

“The pastries were fresh and crisp, the service was phenomenal and the decor was authentic“

“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!“

“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“

“I remember when the cafe was under construction 🚧. I finally had a chance to visit and I am glad I did!
Very friendly service. I had the Upstream with an Asiago bagel 🥯 with smoked salmon, pickled onion 🧅, avocado 🥑 and chive cream cheese. Delicious 😋!
The service really shined when I asked if they had chocolate 🥐 croissants. I was offered a Nutella Croissant which is a croissant sliced with Nutella in the center. Strawberries 🍓 are sliced and placed with it. Also delicious!
The medium roast drip coffee ☕ was really good!
Both my orders were brought to where I was sitting. The inside is nice 👍 with window 🪟 and couch 🛋️ seating.
Update: August 2025; The Cable Asiago Bagel 🥯 Sandwich was delicious 😋! I am not a fan of blueberry 🫐 muffins but the one I had was heated and served with a tasty butter 🧈. It washed down my coffee ☕ rather well!
I was told they are on their third 🥉 year. Congratulations 🎉!
I am going to recommend this cafe!“

“GM Matt and his team are always fantastic and accommodating. I work for the Uni and The Works is our go-to lunch spot since it's so easy to order and pick it up from them. If you're placing a larger order, you can shoot them an email and they'll even write people's names on each package so you don't have to play the guessing game when distributing food. The day-old rack also offers a great deal on bagels and treats. Don't forget to sign up for the Rewards program so you can rack up points and snag some freebies.“

“I stopped by Bagel Caboose early in the morning during my travels on the island and it was an absolute delight. The shop itself has a wonderfully unique, charming vibe and the staff behind the counter were incredibly cheerful and welcoming. I ordered a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese, and it was perfect crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, and absolutely loaded with toppings. It is a fantastic, quick local spot to grab a delicious breakfast and a hot coffee before heading out to explore.“

“We ate here today for the first time and it was amazingly fresh and delicious. The food was outstanding and the coffee was top notch. The gentleman working the front was very pleasant and friendly. We will be back.“

“The service is pretty typical of youth run franchise salad places. The communication is awkward and halting and brusk. They definitely appear as if you've interrupted an important tiktok video and are annoyed at your presence. The salads are good and it works if you are just grabbing lunch and going otherwise it's oddly sterile and unwelcoming“

“Great space, finally made it over the other day and wish I had sooner! Big batch of coffee was about depleted at that moment so she made a quick pour over and it was delicious! Plus…Kitties!!!“

“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.“

“My favorite place for fresh bagels! Great for coffee, breakfast or lunch sandwiches, and pastries too. The staff is over-the-top nice and always make you feel welcome. It’s a fun, friendly, and clean spot that’s perfect whether you’re stopping in solo, meeting a friend, or coming in with family. A great place to relax and enjoy a quick bite.“

“Anna was so kind to my sweet-but-rambunctious little one this morning! Also the coffee was level ten delicious. Definitely recommend! So happy we visited 😊“

“delicious.. great food. next time we are in the area we will be back“

“When I need to eat healthy, fresh and delicious food, this is the stop. When I’m craving a sweet treat, this is the stop! Ohhh…I could go for one of those completely over the top Pop Tarts right now“

“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.“

“delicious bagels. nice people.“

“I’ll be straight: I’m addicted to AJs Rush & I promised my husband I wouldn’t get one again after drinking one everyday for far too many days. That shit gets your blood pumping & they taste so damn good! That said, I still sneak them when I can because they are that good. Don’t tell my husband!“

“Brendan was extremely helpful. We went in on a Sunday and it was pretty busy, we ordered, got our food to go, went out to the car and when we opened the bag we were disappointed to see that the soup we got was half full, missing the baguette, and the 2 bagels were cold. I walked back inside and Brendan greeted me again and I explained to him our issue. With 0 issues he walked back into the kitchen, got my girlfriend a new FULL soup as well with a baguette, and also tossed a cookie in the bag for us. Customer service 10/10 more people need to be like Brendan! Thank you again.“

“Your basic Panera Bread. Service here was good. They let my son have a bag of chips with his Mac and Cheese, which he devoured! I had a freebie through the app and rewards program so I had a half Ciabatta Cheesesteak. The taste started out sweet then had a spicy 🔥 bite at the end.
The place was tidy, including the bathroom. WiFi available.
I hope they will have Mac and Cheese with broccoli 🥦. It is one of the successful ways I can get my kids to eat broccoli.
If you like Panera Bread, I recommend this one.“
