20 Best Coffee Shops in Portsmouth

“Coffee is great. Every couple months I order online. Highly recommend“

“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!“

“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👍“

“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.“

“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!“

“Was awesome to find a quality coffee bar open after the show we went to last night. Especially coming from Quincy ‘the DirtyQ’ MA, which is a coffee desert. 13 DD’s but no coffee to be found. We had legit espressos in demitasse ( no paper cups which ruin the experience )before heading south again. 👍✌️🚀👽🚴‍♂️“

“Local hang! Very convenient to work. Many of my students have worked there as well. Community supported!“

“I love the coffee and they always go above and beyond for their customers. when the manager knows what you like and how you take your coffee. and upgrades you at no extra cost. ❤️“

“I was at Aroma Joe’s the other day and I had a great experience. The girl working was so nice to me and made my drink and food so well. She even asked me about my vacation and we bonded over it and realized that we were at the same resort in the Bahamas. My hot chai was steamed to perfection and she even added my dairy free milk. She was the cutest thing I had to add a tip to her. Hats off to this lovely young woman in our society.“

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

“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.“

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

“I frequent the drive through for coffee since moving to the area a few years ago and have recently been sitting in the cafe a lot to work. I love the team here, they are all so friendly. Meghan, the supervisor, makes things so cheerful and brings up the energy in the cafe. Susan who usually works the drive through is so kind, have loved the 2 minute chats getting to know her over the years. Several times in recent cafe visits, I've seen the management working with their employees to train them for interviews to get promotions. I love seeing them invest in their employees and champion their growth. Love this place!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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' ⭐⭐⭐“

“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!“
