“Passed this place 100 times and finally had time to stop in for breakfast.I planned on getting a breakfast bagel or burrito at first, but when I saw they had a special breakfast bowl on offer I figured I'd give it a shot and I'm so glad I did. I asked for it to go, which was probably a bit of a pain container wise, but the workers running the show had no problem and made it happen for me.I went on a short walk around the town while they made it, probably only 10-15 minutes when they also had about 10 other customers so excellent timing even when it's pretty busy inside. I'd probably order ahead next time to make it a bit easier on them as it's quite small inside and the kitchen also looks to be very small.The staff was awesome and very accommodating, the person at the counter made my green tea SUPER hot which I personally love and made sure to double cup it so I wouldn't have an issues holding it. A nice attention to detail that goes a long way with people I think.Can't wait to go back because my bowl was shockingly good, I expected your average run of the mill greasy breakfast meat with decently done eggs and some mushy veggies and was 100% wrong. They used awesome fresh crispy peppers, spinach (could have been kale), onions, potatoes which were a mix of sweet and gold and sausage. I got my eggs sunny side up and they were flawless, whoever works the grill nailed it.“
“One of my favorite breakfast spots! The fruity pebble French toast literally is MIND BLOWING & very crave-worthy. Such an amazing crunch & flavor loaded - it's my go to recommendation for anyone going to Fat Dog. Amazing service - relocating to a larger space. A well-earned locals favorite. It's a must!“
“Fantastic brunch spot in the heart of Portsmouth. The decor is absolutely show-stopping. You’ll enjoy the perfect ambiance to pair with your delicious dishes.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options available. Chocolate chip gluten free pancakes were delicious.“
“Such a cute, off-the-beaten-path type of place. Walking in feels like a family welcoming you into their home. Bonus if you get to sit near their old-timey stove by the door. So glad I was able to go while visiting the area for a few days! Had the apple fritters (pictured)“
“Met a previously unknown family member. When he came to town, I knew exactly where to meet. It's my favorite place to eat. I don't fly anymore, but I can sure appreciate eating at the world famous Airfield Cafe. (Even if it's only my world)“
“Cute little place! Service was friendly and unhurried. A nice selection of breakfast and lunch dishes with homemade muffins, chili, and more. Nice hollandaise on the Sunrise Benedict. Relaxed, casual vibes and a pleasant stop while driving through town.“
“One of the absolute best breakfasts spots around. Food is consistently amazing. Great service. Often on a wait, but WELL worth it. Add yourself to the list & pop over to Good Juju or walk down to the boat launch and say hi to the town ducks while you're waiting. My personal favorites are the Down East French Toast - stuffed with maple walnut cream cheese and topped with my choice of fruit usually raspberries & the Dwight (insanely good) & lately the Green Chili Burrito - blueberry pancakes the perfect add on & the muffins!- grilled with butter of course. Homemade cinnamon swirl toast! Smoothies! Don't worry - you really cannot go wrong with any choice here.“
“Excuse my English.My grandfather was nothing more than a humble coffee bean farmer, as was his father. He spent his whole life growing the best coffee beans that Colombia has ever tasted. When he passed away, my father took over the business. The coffee was in my blood and I did what I could to help him. I had prepared to make the place when I was of legal age, but my father had other plans for me. He took the money he saved to send me to the University in the United States. I couldn't afford to come back to visit, so I spent my free time working to pay for school and studying hard to get my law degree. When I finally got my first job after graduating. I took my first paycheck to return it to him. He was older than I remembered and he had sold the business by then, but he was still him. And he still smelled like our family, like us, like coffee.The aroma of rise & grind given to my heart reminded me of him. The smell brought me back to my childhood home and to the large number of memories that accompanied me. The coffee had a boisterous flavor reminiscent of the powerful beans we used to prepare. I got a black coffee with sugar on the side and the taste alone was phenomenal.That's where the review would end if I didn't get the "Shack Up". ¡Asombroso!. Oh my God, that was an incredible sandwich. The flavor combinations were complementary to each other and work perfectly together. It was a very necessary addition to the order and I will order it again.In general, Rise & Grind was a truly revolutionary breakfast experience that I will enjoy again. If I could, I would leave 10 stars.“
“Staff was very accommodating. We had a very large group of family and friends. The staff wasn't expecting us as no one had called ahead to let them know we were coming. They moved almost all of their tables together for us. The service was fantastic. No one had to wait for long to be served.“
“An embarrassment of choices of delectable delights. With creative "Specials" everyday.Everything is cooked to perfection With truly original flavorful fare for a very reasonable price. Staff is Amazing. Happy to have found this unique comfort zone.“
“Great breakfast/lunch diner...Joe if your listening...I bet this place would be great for late night breakfast dinning on Weekends. It is understandable for restaurants were to shy away from the late night intoxicated crowds it would draw, not to mention overcoming staffing issues. It just seem like Portsmouth has no late night options other than Gilly's and the Canolli place on Congress St, and neither offer sitdown service“
“If you're looking for a cookie cutter, bland, no salt breakfast, this is NOT FOR YOU. The food is amazing, Kasha very clearly cares for her customers, and her son walking around trying to help will bring a smile to anyone who appreciates a family business. It's the family atmosphere my family of four was looking for as now locals.“
“The nook is just a wonderful place to have breakfast or lunch. My daughter's and I have been going for years and even though we always order the same meal (eggs benny) it gas always tasted good. They fo many things for tue community and the same staff has been employed tlfor a long time. Always friendly and “
“The food was in point...but I have to say service is very slow. There was a poor woman next to us that was by herself in ordered eggs. Benedict. She asked the hostess to check on her food because she has been sitting for over an hour waiting. Her food family came out but it was lukewarm. Our food, took 35 minutes and it was not busy in the restaurant wasn't busy because we sat right down. Maybe the cook was short-handed, but I know it doesn't take upwards of 45 minutes to receive breakfast.“
