    Blueberry white chocolate scone
    Liv W.

    This spot is in the renovated IOKA and is absolutely adorable! I love how they have an outdoor seating area that overlooks the river. It's genuinely super cute. And they have free wifi which is great for working remotely. I also would love to say the service is fantastic. I don't know the name of the girl who served us but she was so friendly. And the drinks came out super fast! We got one of the energy drinks and a mocha. The energy drink was really good (very similar to a Rush at aroma joes!) and my dad enjoyed the mocha. But here is my only complaint.... The scones are not great. I think it is nice that they have a wide variety of pastries. But the scone (blueberry white chocolate) was both super dry and overly sweet. I couldn't even finish it. It was honestly reminiscent of crumbl cookies. So if you like sickeningly sweet scones (like the cookies at Crumbl!), then this would be great. I've had scones like this where it is balanced, but I fear this was too much and I probably won't get a scone here the next time I come. Otherwise, this spot is really cute and I highly recommend checking it out!

    Excellent cafe with good coffee, an expansive seating area, and a nice scenic balcony overlooking the Squamscott river. There's a good variety of baked goods and lunch items that I haven't tried yet, but want to. Staff is friendly and efficient. I used to see movies on a regular basis at the old Ioka Theater, so it's extra special that this place has opened in the same building.

    Outstanding coffee and beautiful establishment in the old Ioka location. IMO, this coffee and Blue Harbor are the best in the seacoast and I've had almost all of them. The cakes and cookies are delicious and fresh and made on the premises. The coffee is smooth, I didn't need to add sugar which is unusual for me. Service is warm and welcoming. The owners are a mother her son Gabe, great team. I am excited about the new deck on the Lamprey river. As soon as it's warm out, they'll set out the furniture. Make this your new coffee shop, you will love it. I am excited that I finally reviewed a new place in NH before Ian W!!

    The best part is that once you get your order, there's a deck!

    Was craving Lebanese food and found this place on Yelp. Let me tell you.... DID NOT DISAPPOINT…read more Best Lebanese food I've found in the states by far! George was so welcoming of us and told us about all of the specials. He explained that his recipes were handed down through his mother. Stopping here for dinner was the highlight of our day :) Thank you, George!

    I'm fairly new to the area and as a Lebanese man I always find it hard to get great Lebanese food…read more Until now. You wouldn't think it by the name, but Martha's is a Lebanese restaurant with a great menu that won't overwhelm you. The owner and his staff are extremely friendly and overall just wonderful people. I went crazy and ordered the Steak Shawerma, 3 piece Falafel, baba ghanouj and hummus. The steak shawerma came with rice pilaf and a garden salad and was so good that I'll be going back to try their chicken one. The falafel was perfect. It wasn't oily and had just the right amount of flavoring and crunch. The baba ghanouj and hummus were to die for. I seriously had to keep myself from eating the entirety of the containers. They are currently remodeling the dining area so I can't comment on the ambience, but for what it's worth I like the quaint look of the place from the outside and the ease of ordering from the window. I'm a stickler when it comes to Lebanese food, but I'm so happy to finally find a Lebanese restaurant so close to me that it has officially become my go-to place for Lebanese food from here on out! I highly recommend Martha's as your next place to eat!

My wife was looking for a vegetarian-friendly spot, and this place had great ratings, so we gave it a shot. I went with the Philly Cheesesteak, and I definitely enjoyed it. Was it the best I've ever had? Nah. But it was flavorful, well-cooked, and disappeared pretty quickly. I will say, a little more cheese would've taken it from a 7 to a 9 for me. The real star of the show though? The loaded fries. Crispy fries with a generous topping that made every bite hit. Easily my favorite part of the meal. Food-wise, no complaints. The reason I'm landing at 4 stars is the customer service. It wasn't bad by any means, but there's something about walking up to the counter, saying hello, and just getting a silent stare back that throws off the vibe a bit. Maybe I'm just morphing into an old man, but a quick greeting goes a long way. That said, it didn't ruin the experience. I've got another Boston trip coming up, and I'll probably swing back to try something else. Definitely worth checking out, whether you're vegetarian or just like good food.

    Amazing food and service. Philly cheesesteak was outstanding. The fries were perfectly seasoned and…read moreserved hot. The fried oyster mushrooms were probably the best fried item I've ordered anywhere in recent memory. Batter was flavorful crispy and not greasy. The spicy sauce was amazing as well. Something for everyone here. Can't wait to return in a few weeks.
