Cup of Joe Cafe & Bar

Great staff and amazing espresso! Everyone was very friendly and more than happy to be there. I asked for an espresso drink that wasn't quite on the menu a(20 shots and a splash of milk) and they were more than happy to deliver on what ended up being possibly the best espresso beverage I have had the pleasure of enjoying. I'd give 6 stars if I could. Will definitely be back.

Love love love.
Met with friends & I never want to leave.
I got a honey, lavender latte & it was pure perfection.

Also really love that there is coffee options while getting drinks with friends as someone who doesn’t drink alcohol.

Great location on main street. Ambience super elegant and cozy. Waitstaff friendly and seating inside and out. Filtered coffee options were medium and dark, and the dark was robust!

Love the atmosphere. Coffee is excellent. Food is delicious. Would highly recommend.

The getaway car is delicious. Fun after dinner spot with live music.

Great location. Friendly staff. Hot chocolate with maple syrup was AMAZING! Nice they have coffee drinks and also transitions to a bar in the afternoon/evening. Nice to sit in the window and chat with a friend/people watch.

Best coffee & vibes in Portsmouth by far, great quiet spot to work for a bit during the day too! Bonus they support local artists and help make our community a safe place for everyone with the causes they support!

Wonderful restaurant in Portsmouth. Fun and funky vibe. Cool staff. Loved my sandwich and snack. Stopped by later in the day just to grab a drink. Black-owned and worth a visit, for sure.

Cute decor. Convenient location in the middle of town. However, it’s more of a bar than coffee shop. Don’t expect expertly prepared coffee drinks. My latte was below average. My husband got iced latte and he wasn’t happy. They have a bathroom and lots of tables.

I have come here twice - and had the same terrible experience. Ordered just a simple drip and it was cold. The first visit they heated the drip up with the steam wand as if that was a common issue (Very unsanitary and still stale). Swore it off for two years, came back to give it another chance: Cold drip again. They offered to heat it up with the steam wand or wait for a new batch to brew. I asked for an americano instead and it sounded reluctant. Just disappointed in the level of detail. Definitely would never recommend to anyone.
