Devastated to hear this Manchester staple is closing. They're my favorite coffee shop, and my boyfriend goes every day on his way to work. The shop is cute, and I love their plants they use as decoration. The staff is always amazing and goes above and beyond. My only complaint is how early they close, but that's pretty standard for a coffee shop.

Manchester is truly losing something special. These small businesses are what define downtown, and I'm sad to watch another great place have to close their doors.

I was walking by and decided to grab a coffee. The staff were very unwelcoming and not friendly at all. Never been in there before and all I ordered was an ice coffee with cream and sugar. Should have been a quick, easy, pleasant exchange, but it was cold, quiet, and awkward. I was so annoyed by the interaction I decided to get a coffee at dunks down the street and their staff was so much more welcoming and normal. The difference was crazy. Anyways, I’m sure most their staff is nice and friendly, just not the crew that was working there at that time.

Really great coffee beans. Not sure how the relationship with A&E coffee works because their rare breed branding is far superior to the A&E branding and according to their website it's the same coffee. Love the branding and love the coffee!! Would really like to see their decaf options be swiss water decaffeinated instead of EA, but at least they are still using a healthier solvent method than the big coffee brands

Still a great local coffee house with a great vibe. And they took care of the kiddos...

The Manchester shop has recently rebranded to Rare Breed. Same great A&E coffee. But now from a tin 10oz can instead of a 12oz bag. The art on the cans is cool and they come with a scoop and a sticker but you’re paying $18 for for 2 less ounces .

Great spot for a quick meeting or quiet reading. Baristas were knowledgeable, competent, & friendly.

I usually like cortados and cappuccinos for my go-to. But this place does a Gibraltar, which sounds very similar to cortado. The barista explained what it was. Sounds good to me!Instead, I get the sourest cup of coffee I've ever had. a Gibraltar is only 3 or maybe 4 ounces of fluid, but I could barely drink half of it. The sour taste lingered for another half hour after. Worst espresso I've ever had.
