50 Best Coffee Shops near Eliot

“Amazing food and coffee, superb staff!“

“In March 2026 this Duncan has ruined so many other Duncans for me they’re just so quick so easy to work with I’m in and out of there in 30 seconds flat at the window you put in your order and they’re already handing it to you as you’re driving by through the drive-through window. That’s incredible service all these guys in there and girls need a raise.“

“I loved nice place, congratulations . 🇨🇴I am Colombian and the best I have seen. clean and friendly people👌👌“

“A place of peace, welcome, comfort, excellent offerings and courteous service. My favorite local spot for visiting with friends or solo reflection or bringing good things home to family. (Spent over $10 because I often take some things to-go)“

“Un lieu multigénérationnel où l’accueil des deux personnes qui y travaillent n’est que le début d’un bon moment. Bonne bouffe, bon service. J’entends y venir à chacune de mes visites comme une tradition à créer.“

“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.“

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

“Love these! And I can order anything on the menu without worrying about my allergies! Made a great Easter day trip out of it stopping here before visiting a nearby Fort and a beach walk. I tried to order online at 5am the same day but it would only let me choose the next day, so we made it there early (being a few hours away) and they had all their flavors (even the special holiday ones) stacked and ready to go!! My favorite has been the Pumpkin Spice Latte brioche donut this past fall season. (I am a frosting lover.) I love the Kittery location with its own parking lot and building. Even got some donuts for my pup with a sweet tooth to try! He also highly recommends!!! Well worth the drive no matter how far away you are!“

“Auto-Drip is an Excellent shop to buy sandwiches for an occasion or group. Their service is very friendly and efficient. They even offered to arrange sandwiches on my platters to save me a step. The sandwiches are excellent and hearty! We highly recommend and greatly appreciate Auto-Drip.“

“The most amazing breakfast sandwich (the Betsy)!! And great tea and coffee❤️“

“While the new cafe only opened today, I already know I have a problem. Staff is friendly, snacks are delicious, and the cafe is adorable! What a great addition to 75 Portsmouth Ave!“

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

“Coffee is great. Every couple months I order online. Highly recommend“

“Always amazing coffee and customer service!“

“The bagel with lox is incredible every time and the crulers are soooo worth the hype. The coffee is always super yummy and everyone working there is very kind and efficient even in really busy rushes. It’s one of my boyfriend and I’s favorite spots for a weekend coffee and breakfast run!“

“Highly recommend. I went to visit this local coffee bar this morning for the first time. The coffee and breakfast sandwich was delicious. Conversation was also a lovely way to start my morning! I found my new coffee spot 😁“

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

“TEA TO DIE FOR! My wife and I (recently married!) have been here as a couple a few years ago and cannot get enough of the tea. Great selection of teas, blends of salts and spices for all different things. Personally though I go for the hot coconut oolong tea!“

“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“

“Asked for two banana and strawberry smoothies one large regular coffee and three soft cheddar pretzels drinks were awesome personality was awesome by the server but got three regular pretzels unimpressed specially after leaving at five dollar tip“

“Aroma Joe’s has great tasting coffee with a wide selection of flavors, brews, and blends. They also have a flavored Energy Drink selection that is made to order and tastes Phenomenal. I really enjoy visiting Aroma Joe’s for my wake up’s & pick me up’s. On top of the great tasting selections, the prices are very reasonable and affordable.“

“I want everyone to know how amazing this place is…… but I also don’t want anyone to know! 🤣“

“Went on Sunday. Was a bit nervous because of the varied reviews however, we are so glad we tried it. The iced tea was fresh and strong, my pancakes were big and fluffy loaded with blueberries. The staff was attentive but they do seem a little frazzled. The restaurant is clean and spacious and again the food was great.“

“I got my Christmas tree at Emery Farm this year, and it was a great experience! All the trees were really nice and in really good shape, they sell cider donuts you can munch on, they had a cozy campfire going near the tree lot where you can keep warm while you're waiting, everyone is very friendly, and they are giving away a cute wooden ornament with a tree purchase! I wrestled it in my door and onto a stand, with minimal needle loss despite the manhandling. It may not be the cheapest option, but the quality is there and they make the experience worth it. If you are able to support local places instead of big box stores and corporations, it's really a good thing to do and it really does make a difference. It keeps our money in our community instead of the wallet of some big faceless far-off corporation. 🌲💚“

“I always get my normal 24 oz beach bum lil extra peach. Larkin, always remembers my order and doesnt take forever to make my drink. She also was very generous and gave me a free rush and is understanding when i go back if theres an issue.
Maybe if your nice, you can get a free rush or 3 :)“

“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.“

“Just found this hidden gem on Jenkins Court in Durham. The lattes are amazing and the staff is so welcoming. If you need a caffeine fix, definitely head to the Grind!!!“

“I race in every Sunday after breakfast with my daughter and her fiance and my sister Kate (which my Nana and Pop didn't like nearly as much as me, but they had to act like they did) and pay for Destiny's Rush before she can. Like a chubby ninja I park in the ice cream place across the street and fly across the streak like a chubby little flash of lightning to run through the front door.

The atmosphere of this location is very well set up and comfortable. The staff is always very friendly and personable. :)

Have an Amazing day Everyone. #RAoK603

“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!“

“Was awesome to find a quality coffee bar open after the show we went to last night. Especially coming from Quincy ‘the DirtyQ’ MA, which is a coffee desert. 13 DD’s but no coffee to be found. We had legit espressos in demitasse ( no paper cups which ruin the experience )before heading south again. 👍✌️🚀👽🚴‍♂️“

“I love the coffee and they always go above and beyond for their customers. when the manager knows what you like and how you take your coffee. and upgrades you at no extra cost. ❤️“

“Until I moved here never heard of Aroma Joe's learned they are plentiful in Maine and their products are great but its their staff that makes it. Those folks are amazing and if you have never experienced the making of specialty drinks it is an art that requires patience and attention to detail in a fairly speedy manner and the young lady that waited on me is the perfect person for the job. She was EXCEPTIONAL. I will update this post to reflect her name she deserves a million 5 star reviews.“

“I like the Nicaraguan it can't be called organic but it is and it's light to medium with lots of C Acid... keto coffee for 10$ less a lb that keto sites with coffee that tastes crappy👍“

“I’ve been going to Societe for years now, and honestly, I don’t know what I’d do without their apothecary teas. I’m a mom to 4-year-old twins, and medicine has been one of the hardest parts of parenting. I’ve never felt good about giving them over-the-counter cold meds—too many weird ingredients I can’t pronounce, and they never seem to help much anyway. But finding natural remedies that actually work? That’s been a whole other struggle. Every fall, I make my annual trip to Societe to stock up on my go-to teas: Throat Ease, Get Well, Breathe, Fever Break, Be Well Immuni Tea, and Digest Ease. The first five are always in my pantry. When my kids start sniffling or coughing, I don’t even think twice—I make them a warm cup of tea. It’s so much easier than fighting with them to take some nasty-tasting syrup that ends up all over their shirt or spit out halfway through. These teas work fast, they taste good, and I feel better knowing I’m helping their little bodies heal naturally. Now let me talk about Digest Ease, because this one… wow. If you’ve been through potty training, you know the constipation phase is brutal. My daughter was in so much pain, scared to go, crying, and I felt helpless. Doctors kept recommending milk of magnesia and other stuff that just didn’t feel right. I tried everything—fiber, prune juice, homeopathic drops—and nothing gave her consistent relief. Digest Ease was the only thing that helped. It’s gentle, it works fast, and it gave my daughter real relief without the drama. I’ve told every mom friend I know about it, and they’ve all had the same experience. If you’re a parent who’s tired of chemical-filled meds and just wants something safe, natural, and effective—these teas are it. They’re not just products. They’re part of how I care for my kids. I’ll never go another season without them.“

“Wow! Impeccably fast service, they had a line but they are so fast to ring up the order and as soon as I pulled up to the second window the drink was handed to me instantly! ⭐ Wow! I’ve known when I stop here even if I see a number of cars it won’t be a crazy long wait and my today’s experience perfectly exemplifies that!
The drinks are made consistently well at this location. The staff is always super friendly at this location as well!“

“So good! I love sitting in the window and the coffee is amazing“

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

“on tuesday june 9th at 5:25pm i went to this location and only one person was working she did an amazing job got everyone what they wanted and made the, best drinks ive ever had in my life! she deserves a raise if i could do 10 stars i would. she deserves a raise thank you to her“

“October 21 in between 335 to 350 I cannot remember the exact time I had pulled into the drive-through to request three items hash-browns, bacon sandwich, and the blind cyclops and I must say I was very pleased. The lady working the place at this time was very polite very nice and I had a wonderful conversation with her about the skeleton I keep in my backseat.
My favorite part of this interaction was when ordering my drink, the blind cyclops I had asked if she could add an extra eyeball and she replied with I can give you as many as you would like so I requested four and she not only gave me four but gave me a fifth extra one as well. I was very happy.“

“Mmmmmmm.... but call ahead. You’ll be happy you did.“

“I come to this location at least once a week, service is always good. I came tonight and I just want to say I appreciate the young lady who was working. My mom was going into a 12 hour hospital shift and wanted a frojoe. The worker said the blender was washed for the night ( 2.5 hours before they closed) so we couldn’t get one. I was gonna just order something else, but my mom kinda had an attitude and requested her to dirty the blender and make a frojoe anyway. She obliged, and I want to say thank you, and sorry on my moms behalf :)“

“How can you not like Starbucks? They are so nice & if your order is not right they have no problem making a new order & giving your money back. I love Starbucks over Dunkin Donuts or Aroma Joe's, but again it's all based on our own likes & dislikes. Hope this helps those of you that think they're to expensive. Remember you get what you pay for.“

“Stopped there while in Portsmouth and got lunch. Food was amazing! Very friendly staff also.“

“Gabby was the most phenomenal and kind worker. She was so sweet and had an amazing customer-service attitude. She made our day and was such a positive and funny person. We look forward to coming back and seeing Gabby again! She deserves a raise ASAP!“

“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!!!“

“I love the staff here! They are primarily why I choose to come here every single morning! Store 6 is my favorite! ❤

I get the asiago bagel with plain cream cheese and I get espresso over ice. My partner recommends the ham and swiss sandwich and the sausage biscuit sandwich. Their dirty sodas are also really good!

“Meghan and David are super stars! I have been going to this location for quite some time and they are ALWAYS positive, friendly, and kind. They take the time to remember customers by name and make sure their drinks are ready and delicious! Their happy attitudes allow the environment to feel calming and comfortable for the customers. I cannot stop saying good things about them!“

“I always go here whenever I feel like buying pricey coffee. Service is very good. I’ve been going here since 2012. Starbucks is a fast paced environment so give them a break during peak hours if the beverage is taking a while to get to you. Most of the time their service is good and sometimes you’re waiting for a few minutes. They do communicate but can get messy during peak hours. Worse, if their label printer goes out then expect drinks that weren’t yours. This is a first world problem so be patient and the pricey coffee we all paid for will come to you :) Overall, great staff and good service!“

“Tasting is believing! Got the rise and grind sandwich after I saw it on Instagram, and honestly the picture could not portray how delicious it was. The rise and grind sandwich was excellent but I look forward to trying other offerings! The coffee is amazing on its own, no need for flavored creams or extra sugar!! The staff was also exceptionally friendly as well!! #alwaysgrindin“
