It was such a warm and welcoming atmosphere on a cold winter morning. Pastries looked amazing and…read moreall the packaged goods on the shelves were authentic and well sourced. The delightful scent of coffee was in the air and the staff were absolutely friendly as you approached the counter. Despite a buzz of patrons trickling in and ordering, the coffee was delivered to the table shortly after I sat. The staff obviously had a strong momentum going as I watched other tables being served just as quickly. Before I could even really start sipping on my piping hot Cafe Au Lait, I was served my salad and crepe. It was fun to watch how each person worked their station passionately. The lady preparing the crepes meticulously cleaned her station as she cooked. The staff on coffee were brewing away and sending cups out to diners. Other items were coming out from the back kitchen. They worked in unison like a well oiled machine. I definitely enjoyed my coffee. My salad was generous and hit the spot. The crepe was acceptable. Would I come back? Yeah, definitely my type of breakfast spot when visiting Portsmouth again. I definitely will try their croissants next time as well as check out their wine bar in the evenings!

These chocolates are the most creamy and delicious candies I've ever had! I'm more of a dark chocolate lover than milk chocolate, but the milk chocolate from here is so mild and not overly sweet that I fell in love with it immediately. It has been a favorite treat over the holidays, and I will definitely be ordering in the future. Highly recommend!

Satisfied all emotional needs. The hot chocolate is definitely worth a visit on its own. Hard to choose from the descriptions, but luckily staff and a local chocolate fan were helpful in picking the right option for me. Went with Madagascar for its floral, fruity notes. Was not disappointed. Perfect end to the day after shopping for records at the antique shop nearby. Not to be missed.

It was smooth with just the right amount of foam at just the right temperature. We also tried several dishes, and the star of the show was the granola and yogurt dish (I know, not something people usually go out for). Ambiance was charming and cozy. Service was exceptional. Would definitely return!!

Seemed a bit skimpy on the chocolate but otherwise looked amazing and would prob be 5/5 when very fresh. Also of note, very cute little place with seating inside and outside.

Old school penny candies, the new stuff my kids liked, and hey, where else can I get a Reggie Bar? You have got to try one too! Clean, and the place smells like a powdery sugared heaven.

Caffe Kilim is my favorite cafe for drinks in all of Portsmouth! All the coffee I've gotten here…read morehas been delicious and they always have super creative specials. I absolutely love their drinks with marshmallow fluff in them - the fluff melts into the drink and makes the whole thing so delicious. The cafe is in two parts - when you enter, there is a counter to order at and various store items available for purchase. After ordering and receiving your drink, you can go through a narrow hallway to a larger seating area. There is a good amount of seating, but it can sometimes get busy. I have worked from this cafe before and I'd say it may be better to work alone than work with friends if you're going here since some of the tables are a little small and will be tight with two laptops. Service is very quick and the workers are very friendly. The drink pickup can be a little awkward since you pickup where you ordered and sometimes there's a line of people you have to sort of go through but I've never found it to be too much of a problem.

The vibe was definitely reminiscent of going to have coffee in Istanbul. Every last drip of espresso was well worth the walk. The baristas were very friendly, welcoming, and were very attentive and were prepared to answer whatever questions you might have at a moment's notice. The merch was really cute, the turkish delights were reasonably priced, and there was plenty of culture to go around. I am definitely going to be coming back here whenever I am in town again from Los Angeles. Thank you!
