The food is excellent. I've been eating the cowgirl cuties as I call them or cowgirl cookies as they call them since I was a teen that is 20 years. I got my pastry for my wedding from here. what pushed me over the edge today was that when I was in the bathroom It was exceptionally warm and smelled like memories of Paris France. how could I would give them five stars? not to mention they have indoor and outdoor seating. thank you Beach Pea for the excellent breakfast. I wish I had got a hazelnut coffee too.

While visiting Portsmouth, New Hampshire, I spoke to some staff at restaurants and the most popular…read morerecommendation for breakfast was the beach pea. My first inkling was to order the curry chicken salad sandwich but they don't serve sandwiches until 10:30 AM so I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious Bialy with goat cheese, roasted vegetables, sprouts and a tomato. The ingredients were fresh. The Bialy was delicious. There was plenty of parking and adequate seating. I would definitely come here again.

Stopped by fair close to when they closed to try a pastry...Pain Au Chocolate, it was very good…read moredespite sitting around since they baked it in the morning. 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. A great place to come for a coffee or tea, a pastry and maybe something good to read. Will try and come back earlier next time. Looks like stuff is made from scratch?

The French hot chocolate was sinfully delicious...essentially a mug of hot, melted chocolate in sipping form! We would have been happy to sample so many of their pastries or lunch options, but we restrained ourselves and just shared the lemon ricotta danish. The crust was buttery goodness, with a creamy, not-too-sweet lemony center. The staff were super pleasant - I can see why locals like to meet and linger here...just know that getting a table is quite a challenge.

Such an awesome shop!…read more We popped in after grabbing food at their restaurant next door and were very impressed with the quality and selection being offered. From sourdoughs to really unique sweet and savory breads, it was really hard to make a decision! We went with a rustic loaf to bring home and enjoyed it all week long. I'll definitely make the stop again next time we are in town (and did I mention, they have free samples??).

This is the perfect spot if you come to visit When Pigs Fly Pizzeria restaurant! Either before or…read moreafter your meal and even better if you are told there is a wait for a table. That's exactly what happened for my wife and I, we were told it would be a 15 minute wait for our table. We came over and wanted to just browse around to spend that time doing something instead of just sitting. You'll find it to have an overall rustic vibe when you step inside. Typically for grocery shopping my wife and I will go to Hannaford and when we are feeling like grabbing some bread we always go with When Pigs Fly sourdough. The prices may be higher than some of the larger brands but the quality is far superior from When Pigs Fly. Having a piece of their usual sourdough or cinnamon raisin sourdough for breakfast with some butter or sunflower butter is a perfect addition to breakfast! Coming here to the company store was even better with many more options for flavors of sourdough including some seasonal loaves. We actually snagged a current seasonal they had which was Blueberry Raspberry Lemonade Bread. Bought it yesterday and had it for a delicious breakfast this morning! Will make some French toast with it later in the week as well! They have a variety of other items, some their brands and some other brands available for purchase as well! So even if you aren't feeling their bread check it out for the other things they sell. Also if you have not tried their bread and want to try before buying snag a sandwich at the restaurant and try before you buy at least one flavor of bread that is! Worth a stop along Route 1!

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!

They roast their coffee in house I believe which is a dime a dozen these days. Overall, the pastry was OK. It was also a rather small piece and I think it was $6?
