“Came here for the first time yesterday with my dog and it was such a great experience. You can bring your dog inside, which is amazing, the vibe is great and the cider menu is even better! Highly recommend the Hello Sushi and Cranbarrel for unique, delicious, and not-too-sweet flavors. Can't wait to go back again for one of their amazing food truck partners.“
“Let me say first: A definite stop for anyone on a brewery tour! The Edison Imperial IPA has to be experienced.Aside from that. I loved the layout of this place! Divided areas offer many choices to congregate and it's well lit without feeling "clinical", which is a plus for those of us who like the looks of brews along with tastes and aromas. A shame it was drizzling that day, that outside seating area looked very inviting.“
“10 out of 10! Fantastic craft beers, creative and delicious comfort foods, cozy ambiance, and fabulous service! We are former Dover dwellers and C&M is one more reason to keep coming back to our favorite NH city! We loved the chicken nuggets, Rueben croquettes, fish & chips, pork sandwich, and tomato soup. Stomp Box was the beer of choice and we liked it so much, we took cans to go. Perfect hazy IPA! (We live 3 miles from a Tree House brewery so this is saying a lot!)“
“This place was jumping!! Line wrapped fully around the counter and out the door! And their food explains why! From their pastries to their pizza everything was so tasty! We also got this sausage with jalapeño and cheddar cheese wrapped in a melt in your mouth croissant! It was so delicious! I ate all my food before thinking of taking a picture because it was that tasty! oh ya, and don’t forget to try one of their house made crullers!“
“Stopped by on a whim today while passing and man I made a mistake. I'm going to have to come here all the time now. The two owners (I'm assuming owners) were running things and we're awesome even with it being a bit packed. They were working very hard to greet each person and make sure they felt welcomed and noticed which was awesome to see.I got an absolutely amazing sandwich, mortadella with pesto and Italian meats and fresh crispy veggies I want to say, but could be missing/misremembering ingredients. Absolutely divine. In some banter between the owners I believe the husband makes them and he absolutely nails it.I also had an order of their rice balls and a slice of lemon cake. All of it was absolutely excellent and I will be back because life without those sandwiches just isn't worth it.Also, I didn't try the donuts. Another reason I have to go back.“
“Everything is great, especially the rice cake appetizer (I expected Korean rice cakes like in ttekbokki, but they're little cubes of rice seared on the sides; we got them with duck but they would be just as good without it) and, obviously, the noodles. But in particular, don't sleep on the hot sauce -- Fresno chiles are one of my favorite chiles for flavor, and we got a bottle to take home and have been putting it on everything. Bonus points that the cocktails are canned and you can get them to go.“
“I went there with a group of friends Friday night and had a great time with perfect service and atmosphere. They put on NCAA tournament game for us while I enjoyed The Rattler. (if you order this sandwich, go with the fried chicken option), I’m already looking forward to going back and getting the exact same sandwich. It was that good.“
Coffee Shops • $$
“The cutest little coffee shop with the sweetest employees. I always have questions when I order coffee, and the gal working was so patient with me. My iced coffee was DELICIOUS. We tried the pistachio bread and the lemon poppyseed muffin, both were delectable. The shop is so cute and inviting I just wanted to sit and relax and avoid real life LOL. It’s a little out of my way, but well worth the visit.“
“I was brewery touring from Texas and my local beer Sherpa said I gotta stop at Loaded Question. I can see why. Not only did the Sparkletoes Imperial IPA not disappoint, but the whole atmosphere was so chilled and relaxed. I really enjoyed my visit and hope to make it back soon! Would recommend that anyone doing a brewery crawl add this to their route!“
“Surprising, even for me that I have never reviewed Freedom Cafe because I've been going here for years. Until Covid hit we were regulars at the Wednesday night open mic, an area hotspot for students and singer songwriters to show us what they can do. The freedom Café is a nonprofit whose proceeds go towards stopping human trafficking. A serious social issue that is on the rise in the United States, it comes in many forms ranging from forced labor to sex trafficking. There is an extensive menu for a Cafe of this nature , including many different types of coffees, pastries, and crapes. The crêpes options range from sweet to savory. I've tried both and can recommend them without reservation. If you want some good coffee, good food, good atmosphere, and lots of other amenities, choose The Freedom Cafe and put your money where your mouth is. It's a good cause, there's nothing to lose and everything to gain by dropping a few bucks here.“
“This is by far the best Indian dining within an hour. The staff is all very polite and friendly. A few years ago they completely renovated during covid and its a nice atmosphere. My wife and I never dine in for Indian anywhere else in New Hampshire.Vegetarian options: It’s Indian, vegetarians and omnivores alike are very happy here.Parking: Parking isn’t expensive. Street or garage right here.“
“Just do yourself a favor and stop here. The beers are diverse, the people are friendly, and the owners might be some of the best humans to grace this place we call Earth. Seriously, it's the perfect place to try all different types of beers (not just 12 Hazy IPAs) and really get a feel for different styles and brewing techniques. I can't stress enough how much of a hidden gem this place is; a true and authentic beer tasting experience.“
“I've been to Tour on several occasions - dinner with my daughter, date night with my husband and a larger event/bday party. The simulators are a lot of fun, and if you are not into golf, it is also just a great restaurant to enjoy in town. They also have a nice bar and several screens for watching any type of sporting event. Definitely a great place to check out!“
“I was given a special tasty treat today visiting Laney & Lu for the first time. This is an amazing place, very spacious with an outdoor patio, very neat and clean, plenty of parking (which is an anomaly for Portsmouth), excellent customer service and the food is delicious and divine! This is perfect combination if you want to relax and sit in and dine and or or if you want to eat quick and go but want something healthy, nourishing with high quality ingredients and taste. I had the best egg sandwich of my life, a Biscuit & Gravy Organic egg over easy with cashew mushroom gravy, walnut chorizo, spinach, micro-greens, scallion, served on gluten-free sweet potato biscuit. It was flavorful and fresh. In addition, they have an assortment of tasty and fresh pastries, designer coffee, espresso drinks and herbal teas. I had a "Macro" doughnut which was delightfully sweet, moist on the inside with a lustrous coat of sweet maple walnut glaze on the outside. I had the tea with Ashwaganda, gingko, lavender, tulsi, schisandra berries and it cleared my sinuses. Happy to have found this place, I am definitely coming back to try the rest of their menu.“
“An awesome spot in Portsmouth, especially on a nice day. This is an easy 5 stars if their beer was just one notch better. Otherwise they have everything you're looking for in a brewery. Great staff, check! Great location, check! Bring your own food, check! Dogs allowed on the patio, check!“
“I signed my wife and I up for a tea mixing class at Société last week. I'm not a tea drinker, but my wife absolutely loves tea. Since it was her 30th birthday, I wanted to do something special and different, which is exactly what this class was! Typically scheduled for an hour and a half, our teacher (and owner of the shop) was very thorough and engaging, which extended the program to about 2 hours. We tried 5 or so different teas of a variety of styles ranging from a cleanse, Chai, holiday special, and a black tea for some caffeine. Like I mentioned at the start, I don't drink tea...since that class, I've had 3 cups, and shared our learnings with family and friends (who also have fallen in love with the Chai we brought home). In addition to the tastings, everyone that attends the class is given a free jar of any tea they would like. When I told my wife a few days ago that I let my dad try the teas we brought home, she was (jokingly) angry that it meant she would have 1 less cup worth of tea now. Even if you don't sign up for the class, Société is a must visit for any tea drinker!!“
“Let me tell you EVERYTHING was perfect! Our server Morgan made a killer cocktail and had a refreshing personality. Every single bite from appetizers - mains was absolutely superb! The scallops were cooked a perfect medium rare absolutely melt in your mouth, hands down the best I’ve ever had at an establishment. I left very full and very very happy! Absolutely cannot wait to return and am recommending to everyone.“
