We'll definitely be back!

After dining in and nicely asking if I could please have a cup of ice, she rudely responded, "we don't have ice" -- as I was watching the sweet girl behind her scooping ice into cups, making iced coffee. Seriously!!! I was too taken aback to even respond. However, as a result, I would not go there again, nor would I recommend it based on someone like that working there. The rest of the staff is amazing, and the food is great!! But clearly, she needs to go before you lose any more customers! For the record, it takes a lot for me to ever give someone a negative review as I am in customer service myself. But this was warranted!!

It was smooth with just the right amount of foam at just the right temperature.

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. 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 breakfast sandwich was on the dry side and could have used a little more moisture. The dining room was also pretty noisy, our table was sticky when we sat down, and that took away from the experience. Good food in parts, but a few details kept it from being a great breakfast.

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!

I decided to get to go. It looked really busy on a Saturday. I ordered the curry fries, bibimbap,…read moreand Vietnamese chicken as a side. The person who helped take my order was nice. The other lady when I came back to ask if I could use the bathroom gave me an expression that I ruined her night. The rice for the bibimbap was pretty crunchy. The spinach felt overcooked.. Carrots were slightly cooked, felt a little too crunchy. The fried egg was perfect. Seasoning wasn't overpowering. I see the other reviews and saw that the bibimbap is amazing, and I felt like it was just ok. The curry fries were good, but $14 dollars for fries doesn't seem right.. However I LOVED the curry mayo that came with them. So good. The Vietnamese chicken was very good too, moist and flavorful. I'm not sure if I'd come back, but maybe I need to try the food in the restaurant. Good amount of parking outside.

The coffee is quite strong! No refills were offered. They have a couple pages of breakfast items, served all day, plus a couple more pages of lunch/dinner and a page of drinks. They have a full bar. We ordered a hot cornedbeef sandwich, a two egg breakfast and a side of cornedbeef hash. None of the dishes were noteworthy. The hash was 'crispy' black. We popped a mint to get the taste out of our mouth after we ate so, that was our experience with the food here. Our waitress kept a good eye on us and brought a second dish of hash when I mentioned it was over cooked. The second one had the crispy black bits scraped off, so that must be how they cook it. She tried and I appreciate that. Ask for jelly if you want that on your toast, that is not kept on the table. It's a very cute, touristy spot to visit. There is a credit card surcharge. Restrooms are older with upgrades and clean. Staff are very nice. Parking is shared with the hotel and may be difficult to find a spot.

Unfortunately there is no indoor or outdoor seating so this place is strictly takeout. The interior is nicely redesigned and kept quite clean.
