Wayfarer Coffee Roasters

Having coffee roasters is good for any local economy. Gone are the days of Folgers or Maxwell house. Starbucks is too mainstream. Support your local businesses and the smaller coffee roasters chains! Satisfaction is easy when you love what you drink and the employees know what coffee and taste is all about.

Nice place. Really nice place, considering it is smack in the middle of white trash capital of the universe downtown Laconia, so it is a refreshing dose of cultural coziness. WiFi is a little weak, and it’s a little expensive, they charge extra money if you wanna put non-dairy milk in your coffee, which makes no sense, since the almond milk they have is cheaper than cow’s milk at any store. So that makes no sense at all. But it’s a pretty nice coffee shop, pretty good coffee. Zero competition in the Lakes region, the only place I know of in the Lakes Region that is an actual coffee shop that doesn’t feel like a bus station, so they have zero competition. Highly recommended, but they could still be better with a tiny bit more effort to make sense with their prices and WiFi strength.

Their cold brew is high quality. Compares well to coffee you can get in bigger cities like Boston and NYC. The atmosphere and experience matches the quality of their drinks.

In the summer on a hot day, a refreshing Iced Strawberry Mint Tea is also unbeatable.

Slow service, expired, over-priced canned coffees, and they forgot half the ingredients in my sandwich. The canned oat milk mocha I purchased for $7.50 was full of chunks of this grainy bitter yellowish powder that wouldn’t dissolve. Assuming it’s some kind of residue from the milk but makes the coffee undrinkable.

The coffee is ok, the waffles are a bit too hard, and really overpriced. The ambience is ok- maybe they could drape some throws over those hard benches- it could make it a little cozier for a coffee shop. The staff is pretty friendly.

Love this place. I usually get my coffee to go. I order on the app and it is always ready with a smile.

Amazing coffee and tea shop! Try the Waffles, you won't be disappointed!

This place is pretty good. Definitely the only place that resembles a coffee shop around Lake Winnipesaukee. Nothing else comes close. This is the only actually coffee shop near Lake Winnipesaukee.
I only gave it a 3 because it pisses me off that they don’t use air conditioner. If it is 70 degrees outside, it is 90 degrees in there. When it is 85 degrees outside, it is like 100 degrees in this coffee shop. And this summer has been so hot that it’s been in the 90s like most days for the past month and a half, which makes this coffee shop impossible to visit.
Honest question, why don’t you get some AC? I can’t think of a reason why that makes sense, please enlighten me.

I know plenty of friends and family who avoid your coffee shop for this reason. Maybe you don’t want people spending too much time chilling on laptops and keep the traffic flowing?

I don’t know. This is a good spot but the no AC pisses me off. No complaints about this place on the winter though.

Latte was very good. Wayfarer needs a deep cleaning. We were disappointed with filthy floors and tables. Furniture very soiled and stuffing coming out.

These people really know what they're doing. The coffee is amazing, the people who work there are friendly, and it is such a great atmosphere. One thing that I really love is that they make their own caramel (and it is fantastic!).
