13 Best Cafes in Portsmouth

“The decor and the coffee takes me back directly to Turkiye. Looking to go back and try other things!“

“I love this place. Everyone is just so friendly and warm. It's so nice to be in a place that remembers that I am your consumer. I'm consuming your thaichovski with a little chocolate and a shot (no rum though, weak!)....But I'm also consuming your smiles, your good energy and your kindness. Thanks for keeping me going all day! See you tomm! Love, Wonderwoman“

“I’ve been working for companies at Pease on and off for a dozen years now and Belle Peppers has been my go-to lunch spot for just as long. In addition, my company frequently orders catering from them so I don’t think I go more than a couple of days without eating something from Belle Peppers. The staff is always friendly and I’ve never had a disappointing experience. It definitely gets busy around lunchtime but if you go there regularly like me you know how to get in and get out quickly. Try the spicy chicken sandwich!“

“Haven’t tried their coffee yet, BUT we stumbled in hungry and ended up having a very pleasant experience. My friend and I both ordered smoothies and they were AMAZING. You can tell their ingredients were fresh and their staff were so lovely and sweet. One of the owners, Ryan, greeted us and made sure we were taken care of. He was so friendly and can’t wait to check out their other coffee shop by the beach. Highly recommend the sun beam.“

“Terrific sandwiches. Love their lavender lemonade.“

“Update - 8:00PM March 8, gave the location another try and had a much better experience. The woman working was friendly and, though there was still a couple minute wait at the window (she looked to be in the middle of something), my coffee and sandwich came out right away. I drove away with a smile.Old - 8:00PM March 7, two brightly lit neon signs that say “Open,” the radio playing music inside, but here I am sitting at the drive through window for over 5 minutes and didn’t even see movement inside. No other customers as far as I could tell. Left without ordering.“

“Fine pastries made by chef Sharif and his team… great espresso with a French vibe all the way down to the bistro chairs and marble top tables situated in a picturesque cobblestone alley overhung by ivy and beautiful trees. Portsmouth’s greatest hidden gem that everyone seems to know about.“

“Simply put - The “Hummus Bowl” was the best salad I’ve EVER eaten out. Assembled as I watched - It had the freshest of ingredients paired with the tastiest house made dressing and hummus. I can’t wait to try everything on their menu!“

“We ate here today for the first time and it was amazingly fresh and delicious. The food was outstanding and the coffee was top notch. The gentleman working the front was very pleasant and friendly. We will be back.“

“delicious.. great food. next time we are in the area we will be back“

“We went to try the crepes, but the station was closed at that time. We met Morgan, a wonderful human being who recommended us some pastries instead... there were delicious!!!
She also gave us a gift card for the next time to have our crepes.
Sofia and the other girl (I couldn't have her name, sorry) serving in the Cafe were very nice.
I definitely recommend this place. There are different stations with different types of food.
The place is really beautiful and clean.
You can have coffee, pastries, pizza, sandwiches, heavy meals, and also they have a bar.
We definitely will be back.“

“I love the convenience of this place. I usually get something to go and it’s always ready within 15 minutes, usually less.“

“I've been to a lot of Paneras and this is one of the Paneras that I have been to.

I have eaten food at a lot of Paneras and the food I had hear tasted like the food I've had at other ones.

It is and does what it says on the tin.“
