This is a really fun place. Great food and drinks and a great outdoor seating area where you can bask in the sunshine. The waitstaff was outstanding!! It is seasonal so check to see if it's open before you go.

Such a good spot for fresh smoothie bowls! Kinda pricey for their size, but so so delicious and gorgeous presentation. The outdoor seating is great, and the granola is nut-free!

Wow. Was at Wallis Sands Beach and mentioned how I was craving an açaí bowl….Kooks couldn’t have been more convenient. This bowl was DREAMY. I will truly crave this until I can get back out here again! Get the passion fruit bowl!! No disappointment here. Guacamole and chips were also fresh and delicious! Loved this place. Had an amazing server as well who was extremely nice.

I really love to support local business, but was really disappointed with this lunch spot. We ordered two sets of 3 (very small, barely filled) soft tacos and each had a soda (one was a small glass coke for $4.40). It came out to $62 bucks. The food was good but small portions and very over-priced. The vibe was great, but probably won't be back, sadly.

While vacationing, kooks is a must6 stop place to go! Whether you are looking for a refreshing mocktail or a morning açaí bowl, kooks has got you covered! I have visited kooks at least 4 times in the past 4 day. The tiki tease was incredible and the acai bowl I order was fantastic! Although the place is a little pricey, the outstanding service and exhilarating flavors make up for the higher prices. 5 stars overall, only critique is I would prefer to not spend $11 on a mocktail drink. Thanks so much Kooks!

It's a nice atmosphere and looks a really inviting place after a day on the beach.
The diet cokes were fine but the margaritas tasted of lime juice and not much else (apart from plenty of ice).

Kooks has a beautiful upbeat vibe! Getting any meal here will be the highlight of your day. Gradeigh was an outstanding bartender and gave the best service I’ve received all summer. I loved everything about the atmosphere and service!

If you’re anywhere near Rye, NH and don’t stop by Kooks Cafe & Beach Bar, you’re seriously missing out. This place is a coastal gem; laid-back, colorful, and effortlessly cool with its surf-inspired vibes and breezy tiki bar setup. The food? Phenomenal. From fresh, flavorful tacos to smoothie bowls that taste like summer in a bowl, every bite is packed with love and beachy goodness.

But the real highlight? Our bartender, Gradeigh. This girl is the heart and soul of the bar, super knowledgeable, always smiling, and mixes a mean cocktail that’ll make you forget you’re not actually in the Caribbean. She made us feel like locals from the moment we sat down, and her energy made our whole night. Ask her for a rec—you won’t be disappointed!

This place has the kind of energy you’ll want to bottle up and take home. Highly, highly recommend.
