“Best Dunkin’s in the entire Seacoast area, possibly the whole of New England. They don’t always carry everything, but their customer service is THE BEST.Just to tell you how great they are- the other day I went to the Dunkin’s in Hampton and asked for three kinds of munchkins, 12 in total. They gave me nine though I’d paid for 12. When I told them, they reluctantly added three more, all plain.At the north Hampton location, they were out of some and forgot to tell me. When I told them we didn’t eat pumpkin, they gave me a whole new box and told me to keep the old one. No questions asked, smiles on their faces.This kind of service is why I ALWAYS drive the extra few miles to get to this Dunkin’s instead of any of the others.“
“I cannot say enough about how happy I was that Popovers was closed on Tuesday. My wife and I were originally intending on going there, and needed to find an alternative. We stumbled upon Elephantine. Wow! We walked into this charming little cafe and were transported to Paris. The products looked delicious, and we soon found out that they didn’t only look delicious. The young lady, who was serving us, was exceptionally friendly and added to our pleasure. We ordered a yogurt, with, as I can recall, a pistachio, brittle granola, sliced fruit, honey and so on. We also wanted to just try some of their bread in toast form so I asked if we could order something that wasn’t on the menu. We just ordered some sourdough bread and wanted to have it with butter and jelly. The server promptly made it happen. The food was delivered and all of it was prepared at a very high level. Everything was not only prepared well in terms of ingredients and quality of the food, but it was also cooked/displayed nicely. The medley of food, atmosphere, and music made for the nicest breakfast I have had in a long time. We would recommend this shining star to anyone! The Elephantine is top notch!“
“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!“
“Amazing gem on New Castle Island - great food and service. Everything is made fresh and well worth the wait when it’s busy. Lots of GF and vegetarian options. Dine in and try their famous Dutch Baby Pancake!Vegetarian options: Many of the menu items can be made vegetarian - just ask!Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free, Vegetarian, Vegan optionsParking: A few free spots out front that are usually full but plenty of free street parking in downtown New Castle.“
“After a long trip traveling from Long Island Bahamas, we were cold and hungry. Stopped in and Lola was so welcoming, made me and my daughter Isabella (9 years old) feel right at home. Isabella who is usually quiet, chatted with Lola the entire time she prepared our food. We had a lamb gyro, chicken shawarma and chicken nuggets.. everything was great. Will definitely be back. Thanks Lola?“
“Coffee was pretty good, but it wasn't really "traditional" Turkish coffee. They just poured boiling water over finely ground coffee in the cup they served it in. To charge $3.5 (plus tax + tip) for that is silly. Those who know how to really make a Turkish coffee where cold water and grounds are brought to a boil on a hot surface, know that it takes time and careful attention to make sure it doesn't bubble over, it's not over-extracted, etc. I wouldn't care so much if they didn't have a sign that literally says they make it the traditional way (should have taken a photo to post here). It comes in a nice cup and with a sweet marshmallow-like treat, which is a nice touch. The interior is cool and they have some traditional snacks that are really good. I'd maybe try a drip coffee or something else if I go here again, but I'd skip the "traditional Turkish coffee" unless they start making it properly.“
“Best coffee roaster in the area! Much less in New Hampshire/New England! Always amazing customer service. Iced coffees, cold, brew, and hot coffees are all delicious. Highly recommend grabbing a bag of beans or ground to take home and brew for yourself.“
“We tailed some locals that said they knew the best coffee in town, they were most certainly correct.I ordered a hot cider and bacon breakfast bagel. If you follow suit you will not regret it.Gorgeous presentation, delicious food, superb service and pleasant ambience.Come here.“
“Love this place for both lunch and breakfast. Delicious food that is prepared nicely. Pleasant atmosphere and fast turn around on the food. I had a corn beef Reuben for lunch. Avocado toast the next morning. One of the better lunch spots in Hampton NH. Give it a try.“
“Food was great! I had the spinach, pesto, & egg breakfast sandwich and a smoothie - both were delicious and fresh and I felt so good after. Friendly staff, quick service, great size & atmosphere to meet up with friends/family or to enjoy on your own!Parking: Spots in the front & back“

“I keep going back for the Aurora blue herbal tea, my absolute favorite! Worth buying the tea ball so you can effortlessly scoop and seep your tea at the bottom of the cup. Great selection of local teas and spices, a welcomed addition to Portsmouth! I just wish there was a spot to sit and have a cup of their tea and spiced goods nearby!“
“This is hands down my favorite cafe in Portsmouth! Very vegan friendly. Such a bright, cozy and eclectic vibe inside with kind and helpful staff. This place has phenomenal coffee and tea drinks with multiple plant based milks. They typically have a few vegan pastries/ treats on display near the cashier and they have three clearly labeled vegan wraps on their food menu. Grateful for a space that caters to everyone’s dietary needs/ preferences!“
“As a Christmas treat, decided to splurge, and go out for a cup of hot chocolate.I admit my expectations were low as I have never been really impressed by the standard taste.When my order arrived, at first sight, I knew this was going to be a unique experience. The whipped cream was ‘ real ‘ , delicious and piled high. With my first sip I realized I have never had a cup of actual hot chocolate before this moment ! It was creamy, thick, hot, and without a doubt, the most intense explosion of devine chocolate it has ever been my pleasure to enjoy!It did take a little preparation time, but the whole experience is one not to be rushed.Hesitant to mention that it is a bit on the pricey side, but it was worth every penny, just to know that the finest cup of quality hot chocolate does exsist !“
“Discreetly nestled away in downtown Amesbury, Wise House is definitely not your run of the mill coffee shop. If you’re looking for a modern, bright and airy coffee shop with bubbly baristas, this is not the place for you. But if you like a coffee shop with character, a little bit of sass, and great coffee, I highly recommend Wise House. We tried the chocolate rain, which was absolutely delicious and enjoyed the spunk the barista and decor of the shop has to offer.“
“Beautiful alternative health product store! Brian is very helpful and informative on all the products! Coffee is delicious and fresh pressed espresso, served hot or iced ! Highly recommended for those seeking a natural remedy product that you can trust ! There is a beautiful seating area/lounge for you to enjoy your beverage and hangout, relax, work remote on your desk top. Thank you Brian for all the helpful information and coffee!“
“Everyone was always nice when we stopped by, wait time was great for having all fresh ingredients. Bowls always look beautiful and delicious! Just wish you could substitute without being charged the extra.Kid-friendliness: Love that there are so many fruit and base options. My child’s new obsession are these bowls and that’s a win for me!“
“We always get the warm feta dip. The haddock sandwich is awesome large portions perfectly crisp. It’s also connected to a nice bakery. Busy Sunday today so a bit slower than normal service but still everyone’s friendly and will come back.“
“Stroll is the best! The selection of food and beverage options is diverse and is a guaranteed treat each time. I've also booked Stroll to cater an event and the process was easy and the charcuterie boards were a hit! Certainly will be a longtime customer here.“
“This place is a hidden gem. I almost didn't review it because I'm worried more people will find out about it and they'll end up selling out of things I love. Let me give you three things that will blow your mind here: The Black Friday sandwich. Turkey, stuffing, cranberry mayo, cheese on toasted sourdough bread. It's up there in the Top 5 sandwiches I've ever had in my 60 years. #2: Their brownies. I'm picky about brownies. These are some of the best brownies I've ever had. #3: The buttercup squash veggie soup. Unbelievable. Incredible taste. Again... this place is a hidden gem.“
“Stopped by for lunch and the paninis were great. This was a great spot to get something to eat and get a drink. We left pretty refreshed. My wife is picky about chai and she loved it. My iced coffee was everything you'd want in a medium roast. There were a variety of sweetener options. Wifi was available and the bathroom was clean. The staff were friendly. My K2 kept saying it was the best lunch ever (chips helped get that review). We were in Feb but I can see the outdoor space working well when it's warmer.“
“Great place to relax, read, work, or just hang out year around. The coffee is great, the ambience is relaxed, and the service is very friendly. I haven’t tried any of the food… but it looks good, and the more adventurous coffee flights come highly recommended. Not much open in this area during the “off season” … but flamingos is an easy win!“
“Amazing service and food! Todd was incredibly kind and didn’t hesitate to check in and make sure everything was to our liking! My friend had coffee from elsewhere with her and he offered to give her a freshen up while we ate, really made us feel welcome!“
“Excellent bakery and lunch menu. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, too.Can’t say enough about the friendly staff!This is definitely a local favorite. There’s a line most times, but it goes quickly.Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options“
“Small, but scrumptious little find! My favorite sandwich is hands down the BLTA on house-made focaccia. The vegan seasonal cashew cheesecake is absolutely delicious. Note: they sell it by the slice or whole (perfect for family gatherings!). Executive Pastry Chef, Kristin is remarkable at her craft! Parking is limited, as is customer area inside. There are a few tables outside, if you wish to enjoy your drinks/food there, weather-permitting. They use fresh, quality ingredients, so expect prices on the higher end. I highly recommend checking out Ginger Fox for yourself!“
“In area on business and needed a good cuppa joe and a sinker and decided to try Aroma Joe's for the first time. Had their house blend, which was great--not watered-down like Dunkin Donuts coffee. Sadly, all they had were chocolate glazed donuts onhand--not for me. Anyhow, friendly staff, drive-thru waitline not too bad and will get their coffee on roadtrips again!“
“Tuna sandwich is really good. Bagels are good. Made fresh. Cookies are good. Service is good. When it's busy you will wait. It's not because of the service, they are working hard. It's just a really busy place. Atmosphere is fine. I never stay there to eat. Just order and pick up and go.“
“I LOVED the coffee here. ? The person in line in front of us said it was the best coffee they had in a long time and I thought "we'll see about that" and it WAS.There are so many options to customize with syrups, including sugar free Syrups and Flavored bases. I tried the mudslide Iced coffee with cream - with no sugar or syrup and it still felt like a sweet treat.The staff was very friendly and kind they told us to taste and make sure we liked it before we walked away which impressed me.The atmosphere is very cute. I was excited to find this little gem. Looking forward to going back.Dietary restrictions: Sugar free options.“
“I explained that I wanted a lazy susan made out of a used red wine barrel and I provided a list of the wine regions that I have visited. They provided a piece of art that is mind blowing. Everyone who has seen it is extremely impressed. They were great to work with and delivered by the date that they promised.“
“No guns allowed. Demon pencil drawings on the wall . Tattoos and nose rings. A snack called nut sack. All the best of american culture. And caffeine with vegetarian options, makes it even more artistic and superior in its virtues. Super awesome.Vegetarian options: "vegan" is morally superior of course.“
“Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free & dairy free options. While they last because it's first come first serve basis. They get a limited supply throughout the week. On the weekends they get donuts delivered from Lovebirds! That is also very much first come first serve. Lovebirds are a dedicated vegan donut shop. They also make vegan gluten free donuts ? which I love and go for. The Phillips Exeter Academy students get the donuts and goodies very early so if you want the most selection I would suggest getting there for opening or like a hour after. (They open @ 8am)“
“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!!“
“Kudos to the chef for creating such yummy dishes! My favorites are Key Lime Smoothie Bowl (seasonal), Cashew Caesar (sub GF bread) and Falafel Mediterranean. They are very respectful of food allergies, which I appreciate. I love the fresh, tasty ingredients...just be prepared to pay a bit more. Exeter location is usually quite busy and seating is limited. In warmer months, outdoor space helps alleviate seating issue. Head over to beautiful, new, spacious Portsmouth location for more elbow room.“
“Soooooo cute in here! I love the vibe and the decorations. The coffee was amazing and the hot chocolate! Great pricing I think it is all very reasonable and affordable. If you are a Starbucks fan but want the hometown feel and are in the neighborhood come here! The service was great as well very friendly and welcoming. Will be back as much as possible while me and my wife are here!“
“As one would imagine, anywhere that has the bravery to name their restaurant "Fezzigwig's" better step up and deliver on such a name. No other name brings you to the feel and delight of a feast as one had by the characters in A Christmas Carole.Let me tell you, we walked away and all we could say was... Amazing! This place is just a perfect lil gem near downtown Portsmouth, NH. We walked in and we were immediately greeted and seated. They took our order promptly and then we had time to absorb the juju. Sparking lights decorate the entire space from the ceiling with walls of shelves of delightful little treats and knick-knacks one could buy... from tea to tea cups!The food was out of this world! I had the Classic Breakfast and my partner had the Mayflower Sandwich - both were absolutely delicious! I have nothing but praise for the chef.Cost - on point. Food - above par! Ambiance - delightful! Will we be back? YUP! Actually headed back to Portsmouth next week and have both brought up our excitement to eat at Fezziwig's again! See you soon!Vegetarian options: Plenty of items that would fit a vegetarian diet!Dietary restrictions: They are quite accommodating for all food restrictions. Plenty of options.Parking: Plentiful and nearby. We got a spot within a block.“
“It's an overpriced coffee shop. I will never choose Starbucks instead, though. They (DD) have some OK items, but I don't and will never drink coffee. Be careful with donuts at ALL DD locations. They are often stale and hard. DD should have a set time that they need to be replaced by. Quality isn't what it used to be and should be. That said, a new item that I tried was OK.Staff at this particular location was definitely real. They turn their antics on and off like a light switch. When no customers are around, they were speaking in a very off-color way so-to-speak. When someone came in, they/that went immediately silent on that front. Good and convenient location, though.“
“First time here! It was amazing! Met some really fun people and connected with some furry kitties! The staff is amazing, they take food allergies seriously and made me a fresh hot chocolate to ensure I was safe. Which was delicious by the way!!! The cats are so well loved!! They also had crafts made by local artists which were just beautiful! 100% would go again! This is also the puurrrfect place for some R&R. Excellent spot!!!Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating with food allergies.“
“Good chocolate even better coffee!! I recently discovered this place has the best coffee in Amesbury (yes...including dunkins). Definitely give the flavored coffee a try. I get the chocolate and vanilla twist!! They also have really cute chocolate lollipops. Or just small squares of different chocolate types to try them all! Personally I prefer the dark cholocate!“
“Went to get a piece of my favorite dessert to celebrate my birthday ( total chocolate experience) a day late, but so what.Discovered they had popovers w/ maple butter and a delicious maple nut crunch coffee, so I bought one of each.They turned on the fireplace for me and it was the perfect way to start my day. I was thete at 7:30 a.m.I definitely enjoyed my " birthday cake" for dessert later that day.Great place to go when your sweet tooth is calling your name!“
“Had an iced latte and veggie breakfast wrap. Confused about how they make lattes because same batch was poured to make the girls cold brew coffee in front of me. Different line items on board but I didn't bother asking because they were very busy. Tasted very good regardless. The veggie wrap was delicious as well. Will return.**Prices on website do not match in store**“
“Stopped in for a quick something for breakfast. I ordered a Swiss with ham on crossiant( I didn't realize an egg was on it), potato hash bite, and a latte.The gentleman who took our order was wonderful! He made us smile and was very helpful. I would return just bc of him, Made mine and my husband's morning.“
“The people are always amazing my only issue is that the voicemail box is full so I can't call ahead to ask if they have certain things available as I am very picky when it comes to coffee and won't order anything other that my usual coffee with my usual donut so that is the only reason that I gave an overall 4 star but everything else a five“
“The food was very fresh and delicious! I ordered a blueberry muffin and an egg & cheese bagel. The bagels were huge. I loved that. The blonde girl at the register was very kind & helpful she recommended the blueberry muffins which were delicious. My over all experience here was amazing!“
“Easy access to cheap coffee and food. Turning left onto Route 1 sucks thoughVegetarian options: It's a Dunkin. Most of the food is vegetarian except for some of the breakfast sandwiches.Parking: Plenty of parking around the building.Wheelchair accessibility: There is one accessible space and a small ramp out front. The doors are not automated.“
“The juice box is located inside a local clothing store with its own seating area. There are plenty of seats and it seemed a lot of people working on their computers. I can't speak to their food/juices as I only ordered coffee and a chai tea. They have alternative milk options (almond and oat). The drinks were good but nothing that stood out as extra special.Staff was extremely nice and service was VERY fast. They have locked bathrooms on the premises for customers only.“
