This place is great. Sit outside if weather is nice. Get the quiche for breakfast ! Coffee is good, but not spectacular. Yummy baked goods ! Usually very friendly service !

Anything with a Popover must be tried. Loved the popover fondu and lobster salad . Deserts also fantastic including the Creme brûlée and Indian Pudding .

Super salads . The cakes are to die for though. Go out of your way if necessary - fantastic.

Great place to go for a dessert later in the night. We go to dinner at a Portsmouth restaurant and then come here for dessert and coffee .

The food is good yet way too expensive . I loved the house coffee blend. The staff are the worst unfriendly people I saw in the town with the most irritating racist attitude.
