“While the new cafe only opened today, I already know I have a problem. Staff is friendly, snacks are delicious, and the cafe is adorable! What a great addition to 75 Portsmouth Ave!“

“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.“

“I like the Nicaraguan it can't be called organic but it is and it's light to medium with lots of C Acid... keto coffee for 10$ less a lb that keto sites with coffee that tastes crappy👍“

“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“

“TEA TO DIE FOR! My wife and I (recently married!) have been here as a couple a few years ago and cannot get enough of the tea. Great selection of teas, blends of salts and spices for all different things. Personally though I go for the hot coconut oolong tea!“

“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.“

“The pastries were fresh and crisp, the service was phenomenal and the decor was authentic“

“A nice place to stop and have breakfast. Plenty of egg ? sandwich ? options available. Pastries and baked goods as well. What Starbucks is known for is coffee ☕. I had the basic medium roast and it was okay. The Impossible Sausage and Egg White sandwich was good, as was the small apple croissant. Vanilla Scone, meh ?.
Service was good ? and friendly. One young woman smiled and wished me good morning ? as I walked in. A young man offered me help on deciding what to order and figured out how to work an unusual gift card I had. There was no actual plastic card. The entire packaging was the gift ? card.
WiFi and indoor/ outdoor seating available. The drive thru and online pickup ? counter are very busy!
If you like Starbucks, then I recommend this one.

Vegetarian options: Impossible sandwich with egg white available. Oat milk option available.

“I always go here whenever I feel like buying pricey coffee. Service is very good. I’ve been going here since 2012. Starbucks is a fast paced environment so give them a break during peak hours if the beverage is taking a while to get to you. Most of the time their service is good and sometimes you’re waiting for a few minutes. They do communicate but can get messy during peak hours. Worse, if their label printer goes out then expect drinks that weren’t yours. This is a first world problem so be patient and the pricey coffee we all paid for will come to you :) Overall, great staff and good service!“

“Stopped there while in Portsmouth and got lunch. Food was amazing! Very friendly staff also.“

“I’ve been going to Societe for years now, and honestly, I don’t know what I’d do without their apothecary teas. I’m a mom to 4-year-old twins, and medicine has been one of the hardest parts of parenting. I’ve never felt good about giving them over-the-counter cold meds—too many weird ingredients I can’t pronounce, and they never seem to help much anyway. But finding natural remedies that actually work? That’s been a whole other struggle. Every fall, I make my annual trip to Societe to stock up on my go-to teas: Throat Ease, Get Well, Breathe, Fever Break, Be Well Immuni Tea, and Digest Ease. The first five are always in my pantry. When my kids start sniffling or coughing, I don’t even think twice—I make them a warm cup of tea. It’s so much easier than fighting with them to take some nasty-tasting syrup that ends up all over their shirt or spit out halfway through. These teas work fast, they taste good, and I feel better knowing I’m helping their little bodies heal naturally. Now let me talk about Digest Ease, because this one… wow. If you’ve been through potty training, you know the constipation phase is brutal. My daughter was in so much pain, scared to go, crying, and I felt helpless. Doctors kept recommending milk of magnesia and other stuff that just didn’t feel right. I tried everything—fiber, prune juice, homeopathic drops—and nothing gave her consistent relief. Digest Ease was the only thing that helped. It’s gentle, it works fast, and it gave my daughter real relief without the drama. I’ve told every mom friend I know about it, and they’ve all had the same experience. If you’re a parent who’s tired of chemical-filled meds and just wants something safe, natural, and effective—these teas are it. They’re not just products. They’re part of how I care for my kids. I’ll never go another season without them.“

“this is by far the best dunks in New England! Everyone there is helpful, kind, & sweet! Always brightens my day with all of the cheer!“

“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.“

“Got my order correct! The other day I got sugar in my ice coffee ... said NO SUGAR!“

“I've always liked the DD on Woodbury Ave. Been going there for almost 30yr. Food sometimes isn't very warm at the drive threw but they are quick.😒 But for the most part I give em' ⭐⭐⭐“
