“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.“
“Absolutely fantastic! A nice warm twist on an apple cider and chai tea! A delicious sandwich. Wonderful service with cute seating outside an adorable gift shop. Highly recommend stopping to grab a treat and beverage before browsing for unique gifts!“
“The absolute best service and donuts you’ll ever experience. The staff is so kind and thoughtful. They always go out of their way to ensure you’re happy. The donuts are unbelievable, you’d never know they’re vegan. Worth driving far for too. Usually takes an hour and a half drive for me and they never disappoint. Thank you Lovebirds!!Dietary restrictions: Vegan“
“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.“
“Great place with nice atmosphere. My experiences with the staff have all been pleasant and the food I found hasn't been bad. Especially enjoy visiting and feeding the goat brothers carrots. Just watch your fingers... Goats may not have upper teeth but they can still nip! ?“
“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.“
“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!“

“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!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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!“
“Don't drive by. This is worth the stop. We had lunch - North Country Canadian Bacon, Turkey, Cabot Cheddar, Maple Mustard, Lemon Aioli & Lettuce on Borealis Bread, Wrap or Udi's GF Bread sandwich and my husband had a salad with fresh greens and fresh turkey and a balsamic dressing. All made in house. They even roast their own coffee and make their own tea blends. Their bakery items - scones and cookies looked amazing.We'll be back!“
“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.“
“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 go here almost every morning, and I don’t ever regret it. They always know my coffee, and my rush. They saw me go through a hard time and offered me a free drink, or two seriously the best team ever, not to mention the coffees pretty amazing as well!“
“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.“
“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!!“
“The crew here is always so kind, they always brighten my day. I started coming here right after they opened! I pull up and they know my name, great me with a smile, and make sure I get what I need! Favorite aromas crew around. Thank you all for being so amazing.“
“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**“
“Some of the best bagels I've had. Compares will to The Bagelry in Bellingham, WA. Great selection of fresh bagels and spreads, to go with the bagels. They have a gluten free option, as well. Lots of drink options to pair with your food.“
“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!“
“Visit for dinner based on good review. Expecting steam seafood, but happened to be fried seafood. Order seafood platter, haddock, calm, shrimp, scallops, seafood was fresh, taste was good, big portion, reasonable price. Bring your own wine is welcome. Customer usually order for take out“
“Lovely spot for a coffee during the day and a yummy drink in the evening. Lots of cute local art and nice table and bar seating. Super helpful baristas and bartenders. Ordered the decaf cappuccino at breakfast. It was tasty. Came back for a drink later in the evening. I told the bartender i liked chocolate and he made me a lovely chocolate martini!! Delicious!!!!“
“Best bagels are THE BEST bagels on the seacoast. It's a welcoming environment where the always remember my order. Great customer service! Its all fresh never frozen the owners and staff put their heart and soul in this place and their food. I always leave with a ? . Thank you best bagel for everything you do . I'm so happy to call this my favorite breakfast and lunch place“
“East coast coffee chain similar to Dutch Bros with a drive thru. Large variety of drinks to choose from and they have food options as well but i did not get to try any of the food. Highly recommend the mocha frap. with an extra shot very friendly and fast service!“
“This is the best coffee roaster in the seacoast by a longshot, and yes, I've really tried them all. Their beans are great and the baristas really know how to make a good shot of espresso, which is not so common in this area. It's refreshing to not be asked what "size" I want my cappuccino. Keep up the great work.“
