[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is an adorable coffee/light snack cafe on the water in Portsmouth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My friend introduced me to it that day & I look forward to going back with her again & then again when it warms up & we can sit outside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went on a Thursday about 10:30 & I was surprised how busy they were at that off time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was thinking everyone should have been at work, but maybe some were making ghost appearances that day! We both ordered the yogurt parfait & I ordered an iced vanilla latte. So many yummy sounding things on the menu to choose from. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Extremely clean, you can tell the owner/manager & staff take a lot of pride in their place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've visited several times in the last couple of years. My most recent visit was this week (June 2026). [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was very busy for noon on a weekday, though it is summer and the weather was gorgeous.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is clean and well kept.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor area is lovely. There's plenty of seating and a fun tiki bar that opens in the summertime.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For lunch, I got the wild berry iced tea and the breakfast bowl. My sister got the tea and avocado toast. Portion sizes are small, and at cafe prices. The avocado toast was super disappointing... it was one slice of bread, a smear of avocado, and about a quarter cup of chopped up tomatoes. I put more butter on my toast than the amount of avocado this one had. It's a great local spot, but be warned about the food/prices. read more

I would only give 1-2 stars as hot food received today ( breakfast bowls)$12 ea- were so awful. An overdone egg chopped over weird tasting overcooked bacon and sausage. A teaspoon of spinach on side. Soft over seasoned home fries. I wouldn't be surprised if everything was air fried or microwaved. [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, 5 stars for the beautiful outside area, with nice plastic Adirondack chairs and assorted tables with umbrellas[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Plus- with a short supply of dog friendly places this is stellar and gave our pooch the leftover inedible meat protein. Very professional and friendly staff of this self service venue. read more

Sunset Cove - Outside dining & lounging area. Very comfortable and scenic. - Cafes Near Me - Portsmouth, Rhode Island

I knew I found a new local favorite the second I pulled up to Sunset Cove for the first time a few years ago. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had never heard of the spot, but was looking for a coffee while driving back to Massachusetts, and pulled up to find the most gorgeous hidden coffee shop ever.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You walk in and they have options for ice cream, coffee, and food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was still early in the morning, so I only needed coffee, and then I kept walking out toward the back and discovered an outstandingly beautiful patio with views of the ocean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Genuinely my first thought when walking in was that I needed to have my wedding or rehearsal dinner there, it's just that beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's frequently live music, a lot of people around, great chairs to sit and chat with friends, and even a place to dock your boat if you need to pop in while on the water.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Always a great experience and can't wait to be back. The staff and people were extremely kind and made me excited to come back and chat with them more. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cool place and nice atmosphere but service was terrible and the food was even worse.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I could have made a better bacon egg and cheese at home and I'm a terrible cook. People who ordered food after us were getting their food before us and we were told, "sorry, someone forgot your order." Additionally, the staff were very short and rude to us. The bacon, egg, and cheese had absolutely no taste. The bagel was burned and had no butter on it and there was more bagel than contents inside. Definitely not worth the trip despite the beautiful Saturday morning views from their back patio/lawn area. read more

This is such a hidden gem along the Portsmouth waterfront! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is beautifully renovated with lots of seating, and the outdoor area is expansive with patio seating, bar seating and lawn space for customers to set up their own chairs or blankets.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's also dog friendly so you can bring your whole family to enjoy a lovely day on the water, and their live music outdoors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All the staff were so friendly and helpful, and I loved how fun the bar atmosphere felt. The food and drinks were great - highly recommend the Bubbles Up drinks because they spray a bubble machine when you order!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]They have done a wonderful job with this place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great assortment of baked goods, sandwiches and the like.

Was not a good experience on July 3rd. My friend and I ordered around noon. Took the beeper and waited outside at table. Friend came back with her meal and my drink - not sandwich. She said there was no sandwich. I went to counter. They were just cooking it kind of saying I did not order it. I did NOT pay $9.27 for a small ice tea. Anyhow the grill cheese was not hot and very flat. I did not eat it. Friend did not like her roast beef sandwich and did not eat it all. And just the day before another friend had breakfast and was not impressed with her Chia Tea and breakfast sandwich. Wish I had listened to her. read more

Stopped in here twice in two days. First time was when on a bicycle ride. They were very accommodating and helpful. Second time was the next day as we were leaving RI and grabbed a quick breakfast. Food was absolutely delicious and affordable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the beach theme decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would love to come back in the summer read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Friendly staff, clean inside, and beautiful outside patio area![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had a good breakfast and coffee drink here, but wouldn't recommend the lobster roll. It was odd and on a black bun with avocado? 3 stars just because of the weird lobster roll, otherwise 5. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Besides that I would recommend for breakfast with views![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Sunset Cove is a little gem of gold! I've been a few times for outdoor concerts - the staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly! They make sure everyone has a great time, without being pushy. . I highly recommend Sunset Cove. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This has got to be one of the cutest coffee shops I've been to and I've been to quite a bit![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I absolutely love the positive vibes from all the employees and even hearing their interactions with some of their regulars told me all I needed to know about this lovely little spot. I didn't catch his name but the gentlemen at the front counter was great! He was quick and efficient and even running orders out to people in between taking customers orders. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tons of indoor seating available but my favorite part is the expansive outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The view is wonderful![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was just the perfect way to start my day. The cranberry/orange muffin was delicious! Not too dry, yet not too moist - just perfect. I also had a hot vanilla latte which hit the spot. If I lived nearby, I'd make it a weekly habit to jump start my weekend at this wonderful establishment! read more

Came in not sure what to expect and was blown away! The gal at the counter was super sweet and helpful. Recently hooked on non dairy options, found out that they have a variety of creamers, syrups and even offer decaf espresso! There were a few bakery options and a made to order menu. With a variety of seating from in doors to outside, all with a gorgeous view overlooking the water, there is a spot for everyone! read more

We've now been a few times. In the evening and for breakfast. The dinner menu is sandwiches so it's limited but they are really good. The breakfast sandwiches are the best around. Real eggs, fried perfectly with a generous portion of ham or bacon. We had one on a bagel and another on an English muffin. Both were great. There's plenty of room inside and outside on the water. It's worth the drive to find it! read more

Super friendly, excellent breakfast and salads, [[HIGHLIGHT]]beautiful lawn and seating out back with water views, and very good live music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a nice place to catch a bite and chill on a sunny day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our coffees were so tasty.

$15 dollars for a drink in a plastic cup. Incommunicado, liquor to juice mix totally off. If I'm a twenty something and I want the alcohol, than ok. If you want a nicely prepared cocktail this isn't for you or us. Not a 4.5 star recommendation. My opinion, 2.5 stars. read more

It's a cute spot and convenient when I'm in town at client's but two small so-so margs for $28 is insanity to me. Never again. The second time I went was for breakfast. The pistachio muffin was satisfactory but could have used more pistachios and pistachio flavor. I'd certainly come back for the specialty coffee called Coyote Coffee, as it was a tasty sweet treat with a caffeine kick but that's probably it... Much better local options near by that the quality reflects the prices IMO. read more

This place is great. The service is fun and efficient. I've not tried the food trucks, but they seem to do the job. The ice cream and baked goods are the bees knees. The live music has been as awesome as the view. So you say, why 4 stars not 5? Simple..... the drinks are very expensive. $28 for a canned beer and a pina colada, is a bit steep. read more

We greatly enjoyed this venue. It was lovely . We d I d not eat here because we had eaten at a restaurant a few blocks away.

Lovely place. Great muffins and coffee. Sit outside in the back of cafe and enjoy the serene water view.

The food is great, the place is fabulous, clean and welcoming. The staff are always willing to go the extra mile - especially making coffee. read more

We stopped by this afternoon for a light cup of coffee and some baked goods. It's a beautiful interior, Lively and bright, and we could see the setup outside for afternoon cocktails. All we had was the coffee, and it was terrific. Lovely place. read more

This place is all about the view. It's a great place to sit and relax. It's clean and the food is ok. Their drinks though are priced higher than anywhere else I've been. Almost $30 for a can of beer and a mixed drink is crazy! If they came down on those a bit I might go there more often. read more
