I loved this place so much It is a Colombian coffee shop that just had the best vibe ever, The decorations they have in the shop are also to literally die for. They also roast their coffee in house and seem to have a roaster in their space which is incredibly cool!! The baristas and Owner were all so friendly and so extremely nice they made us feel so welcome :) we were chatting with the owner and he said he started the place cuz he’s originally from Colombia and wanted to combine 2 of his favorite things, Coffee + his Home which I think is just amazing it’s a hidden gem for sure, would 100% recommend this place to anyone who’s thinking of going the vibe is so cute in there and the people who work there are so so so welcoming it’s adorable!

La Mulita Coffee delivers truly exceptional specialty coffee. You can taste the focus on quality in every cup. I love that they work directly with small farmers who prioritize craftsmanship over quantity. Highly recommended for anyone who values great coffee with a meaningful mission

In discovering La Mulita, I can confidently say it has transformed my appreciation for coffee! This gem specializes in hand-curated, artisanal roasted coffee sourced from Colombia, and every cup is a testament to the craft and passion behind it.
The owner is the roaster and incredibly knowledgeable and eager to share his expertise, guiding anyone through their selection of beans, each with unique flavor profiles that reflect the rich Colombian heritage.
The baristas are truly experts in their craft and I could truly taste the love and care that went into each cup made.
I appreciate La Mulita’s commitment to quality and sustainability. It's evident that they prioritize ethical sourcing and artisanal roasting, which not only excels the coffee experience but also supports the farmers of Colombia.
If you’re looking for a place that will elevate your coffee experience and leave you craving more, give this place a try. This is a coffee shop that celebrates the art of roasting coffee.

One of the best cappuccinos you can get. Definitely my favorite in the Portsmouth area. The milk texture was perfect, and the espresso flavor was superb! Friendly staff as well.
One of my favorite cafes on the seacoast! Everything there is delicious, and baristas are friendly.

Cycliste du Café
One survives the brutish approach along Sagamore Rd — a gauntlet of aggressive traffic and construction, a functional reality withing the romance of a seaside ride. Yet arriving at La Mulita, the storefront almost disappears beneath the rows of vélos and uniformed sportifs. It is the sight of the bikes, not the sign, that proclaims: ici, du vrai café.
Bike parking is a free-for-all — frames leaning against walls, posts, even each other. It works, but civilisation deserves more intentionality given the peloton assembled here. Service is brisk enough but not overtly tuned to the rhythm of cyclists. A proper bathroom remains untested, another reconnaissance for next time.
Inside and out, the air is thick with seriousness. This is no laptop lounge; it is the clubhouse of the local cycling scene, populated by kit-clad riders and equally obsessive coffee purists. The energy is confident, focused, almost reverential — a social scene forged by shared taste and discipline.
Here the espresso is not accessory but destiny. The double shot is the lingua franca, ordered and served with intention in ceramic, bold and rich with a crema as smooth as silk. The Victoria Arduino gleams, the Loring roaster hums, the sacks of Colombian beans stand as proof of terroir and mastery. It is, without doubt, the best espresso in the area.
Pastries and savories remain a future exploration. Today’s stop was an express visit, pure caffeine pilgrimage. The displays suggest sustenance is possible, but the emphasis here is firmly on the bean, the machine, the pour.
La Mulita is a true café: focused, refined, in relentless pursuit of mastery. It stands as the meeting point of cycling and coffee culture, an exemplar of both. The only blemish is the roadside ambiance — a reminder that sometimes panache demands suffering to be earned.

Found this place exploring Portsmouth. Loved it so much I'm sad in on the opposite coast of me. Owner was so nice and friendly, coffee was out of this world !! I wanted to enjoy the coffee so I went iced Americano black, best coffee I had in the 5 states I visited that week!
A true little gem!
