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.“

“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.“

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

“A combination of a small library, cafe, work on your laptop 💻, information ℹ about local events, political expressions, museum and seller of knick knacks all rolled into one.
Very friendly and helpful service. I was asked if my order of a drip coffee ☕ and Strawberry 🍓 and Cheese Croissant 🥐 was going to be dine in or to go. When I said dine in, I was offered a mug or paper cup for my coffee. Mug definitely 😁! I think 🤔 💭 I tried the Guatemalan (?) coffee and both my coffee and croissant tasted good 👍!
WiFi and online ordering available. Interesting antiques and 🎨 artwork adorn the cafe. I believe you can read the 📚 books before purchasing. There are what look like comfy chairs in one corner that the Spanish Inquisition would use to make you confess!
I am going to recommend a visit!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“Always amazing coffee and customer service!“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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 😁“

“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. 🌲💚“

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

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

“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 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👍“

“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!!!“

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

“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“

“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. 👍✌️🚀👽🚴‍♂️“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 :)“

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

“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. ❤️“

“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!“

“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.“

“Local hang! Very convenient to work. Many of my students have worked there as well. Community supported!“

“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“

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

“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 never write reviews but I just have to shout out the amazing barista that made my drink! She was so so sweet and had the most beautiful nails I’m not sure what her name is but she had very pretty long red hair she made my drink perfectly and wrote on my cup ‘Have the best day!’ And honestly that made my crappy day a million times better 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ 10/10 experience give that girl a raise!!“

“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 :)“

“Great staff! They all have a smile and can't be any more accommodating.“

“I was at Aroma Joe’s the other day and I had a great experience. The girl working was so nice to me and made my drink and food so well. She even asked me about my vacation and we bonded over it and realized that we were at the same resort in the Bahamas. My hot chai was steamed to perfection and she even added my dairy free milk. She was the cutest thing I had to add a tip to her. Hats off to this lovely young woman in our society.“

“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’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.“

“Amazing new store, went on the grand opening and was amazed! My daughter danced with cuppy and made a donut! Thanks for a great time!“

“So good even reindeer will cross train tracks for Dunkin’ in Dover, NH! Always friendly. Always greet me by name and have my daily order memorized. It’s like a local neighborhood coffee shop. Love Dunkin’. Part of my day every day.“

“Most of the staff here are absolutely amazing. Katelyn and Maddy are absolutely beautiful humans, they are always so kind and sweet.
Of course I have had a few orders messed up, they are all only human of course, and we ALL make mistakes. Some of the people that have made reviews need to come off their high horse, as if you have never screwed up, it happens.
If that happens all you have to do is go in, tell them, ask them to remake it, and they will! And they will do it with a smile and a, “I’m sorry about that”. It happens, grow up.
You are also only telling your side of the situation, if you’re going to give a bad review, be honest all the way around, not just what makes you look good and the store look bad.
Most of the complaints on here are so ridiculous and quite frankly, no fault of the employees. They cannot control the prices, nor can they keep the store spotless when they are having a rush and again, they can not fix your concerns if you do not make them aware of your unhappiness.
Like I said, I have had several orders that were not made to my liking, but that was mostly threw the drive through, I always go in now and I haven’t had an issue and if I do, I will make them aware and they will always fix it. Let’s remember they are human, not robots and they can’t read minds. Great job girls, you are amazing!“
