“I’ve had Clyde’s cupcakes on multiple occasions. They catered for my business’s grand opening last year and the cupcakes were a hit! Everyone at the opening loved them. I am planning to have them cater again this year for my baby shower. Chyna was very responsive and helpful when I was placing the order with her. They even dropped off the cupcakes for me! I would 100% recommend getting their cupcakes for your next event.“

“My parents were in town to visit. I couldn’t think of a better place to take them for lunch. Especially on a rainy day. The sandwiches were outstanding. My father loved the bacon on his BLT. My mother loved her egg salad. The fresh bread is everything. I couldn’t resist a slice of the Anadama. I nearly ignored my chili because the bread and butter is just that good.“

“I truly appreciate the team's prompt responses to all my queries. The gift was delivered in perfect condition on the selected date, making it such a wonderful surprise for my fiance. The ordering process was so easy, and there was a great variety of options to choose from on the website. I'll definitely be ordering again!“

“Been here several times over the years, first time was when i was at the PEA summer program. I got their lemon ans blueberry scone and their lavender-blueberry iced tea and have been obsessed ever since. The scones are so soft and amazing, and the place is relatively cheap too!! Coming in here the vibes are always so cozy and welcoming it makes me so happy and excited.“

“If you haven't been to the new location of Fresh AF, you need to run, don't walk!! Everything you get will be amazing!! I have been twice in 2 days- and this will just be my review for today! I finally was able to get some pictures before we ate it all! First, the new place is beautiful. Taryn did a great job, to create a warm, and welcoming place. Everyone is friendly, even when there are lines- which yes, sometimes there are- they move very quickly, the staff is excellent, and they move everyone along quickly. The cases are filled with mouthwatering sweet and savory treats, from croissants, hand pies, cupcakes, to tarts, to macarons, to donut pops, and multiple rotating items. New introductions in the grab and go section I have tried today, and can vouch for! On today's list of goodies, I bought us, a potato skin hand pie- oh my. You will want more than one!! So incredibly good- it is like a twice baked potato, with bacon, cheese, chives and some sour cream on top of a croissant like crust. (I am not a baker so forgive me for my non technical terms))! I also bought a veggie hand pie, and a Fenway hand pie- sausage, peppers, and onions. Yum! The strawberry shortcake stuffed donut was to die for! It was devoured in less than 3 minutes by us. The homemade whipped cream is ridiculously good! I lied- I will also tell you about the trifles that I have bought on my past 2 weekends. The first weekend was a strawberry shortcake (?) trifle, and last weekend a blueberry cheesecake trifle. Oh. My. God. There went the diet. The whipped cream did me in. Lastly, I bought the chopped Italian salad with burrata. It is so good!! That was my dinner today, it was so filling, and oh, and the burrata with the hot pepper jam on it was just fantastic!! Seriously, I am so happy she moved to Plaistow! This place is AMAZING!! *Just to note, this review is a few weeks old, it is my Yelp Review :) However, I can add my Quiche from this morning was outstanding!!!!“

“I'm leaving five stars for one sole item: The ham and cheese on croissant. It looks fairly unassuming, and I was expecting a very good croissant with some deli meat and cheese.

But my goodness was this little sandwich amazing. The croissant of course was excellent, but the thick slices of ham were super flavorful and the cheese ... I don't know what kind of cheese this was, but it was almost like butter in cheese form. Very soft with the perfect tang to offset the ham.“

“What a sweet addition to Newmarket! This friendly family has made a beautiful space with delicious food - the Key Lime Pie is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! This new spot is not to be missed!“

“We had such a great time at the Cider Hill Farms “Cider and Bites” event tonight! Everything about the evening was so well done — from the warm welcome when we arrived to the cozy setup throughout the event. The cider and snack pairings were absolutely delicious, and it was clear that a lot of thought went into matching the flavors. Each cider had its own unique character, and the bites complemented them perfectly. Ending the night by the fire pit was the highlight — it was relaxing, fun, and the perfect way to wrap up the evening. The attendant at the fire pits was awesome, super friendly, and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. Overall, it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Cider Hill Farms did an amazing job putting this event together, and we’re already looking forward to coming back for future events!“

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

“Best donut and cold brew I have EVER had!! The staff was also amazing, patient, nice and entertaining! Good music cute shop 🫶🏻 10/10 recommend!“

“Energetic vibes, delicious coffee and sandwiches“

“⭐ Review for Aroma Joe’s – Shout-Out to Ria ⭐

I just drove through Aroma Joe’s with my two dogs, and I had the nicest experience with a girl named Ria. She was professional, kind, and so sweet with my dogs — she even gave them a pup treat with whipped cream and a biscuit. They never eat that kind of thing, but they absolutely loved it!

We talked for a minute about her future, and she shared that she wants to be a cosmetologist someday. It is so inspiring to see a 16-year-old with that much direction, confidence, and genuine kindness.

Ria, keep up the good work — you’re going places. I can already tell.✨

Hope to see you again soon!

“Great ice cream and some very unique flavors. I particularly like the Cherry Lime and Chocolate Marshmallow.“

“Love this little place its my go to for breakfast in the morning during the week they have a great selection of coffees and their breakfast menu is very nice I usually order a large americano with a live free or die breakfast sandwich which is basically an entire breakfast plate jammed into a sandwich LOVE IT! the atmosphere is comfortable and cozy the staff are kind and always willing to have a casual conversation from time to time. They have some beautiful artwork of iconic locations from around Hampton Beach that are very well done my meal comes to around 17 dollars and I always pay with a 20 and tell the cashier to keep the change. go to mcbongalds order a large coffee and two dinky sausage egg and cheese biscuits and that will cost you almost 30 dollars! save your money and go to the coffee break Cafe and get yourself a great meal for half the price of Ronald mc'gouge you.“

“Yummy Desserts but ask if the Coffee is fresh if you go after 4pm“

“I would say pretty good place all in all staff were friendly“

“Loved our lunch yesterday (in the inviting and spacious bar room) of salmon burgers with side and bloody Mary's! Festive atmosphere and friendly staff. Will return for sure!“

“Andyman's is like no other. Incredible goodies of all sorts. It's really hard to choose! Everything is so tasty and fresh. Not your usual bakery and dessert company.“

“I traveled over 100 miles 3 times this summer just to go to this wonderful coffee shop for the Oatmeal Raisin Cookies!! They are my absolute favorite cookies of all time! Every time I have gone, I always asked for the whole batch of Oatmeal Raisins Cookies on display. Highly recommend this place for coffee, muffins, and especially the cookies!“

“Awesome dinners and cocktails for Pink Day!“

“It's all about the food ... The cannoli was so fresh and so yummy. Tried Beach Pizza for the first time I would have had extra cheese put on it not used to pretty much bread and sauce with a little bit of cheese. It's pretty much just a building in a parking lot so there really is no atmosphere“
