Nice coffee shop and roaster. Willing to talk coffee!
Poor service. Was not greeted or responded to among entry. They double-cupped my latte and there were spills going down both cups. I wanted to order food but felt too uncomfortable. None of the employees seemed happy to be there. I have been here previously and received better service.
I pulled over on my way from Boston to Maine because I was getting sleepy. This place was just what I needed! Not too far from the highway. Friendly staff and customers. Great matcha.
Their coffee is AH-maz-ing!! So happy I stumbled upon Derek while out at dinner one night and was introduced to his fantastic coffee. So excited to offer it in my coffee shop hopefully someday soon.
So many different types of coffee to choose from! And they have breakfast sandwiches and the like, if you're hungry. 👍
LOVE their coffee beans and my sons love their breakfast sandwiches. I started grinding my own beans when their Christmas Special (buy 2lbs, get one free) ran in Decemebr and now and totally hooked on Crow's Nest, Breakfast Blend, Mocha Java, Shipwreck, and Rainforest Crunch. If you are not sure which coffee to buy, ask to look at their book which provides countries of origin and accurate descriptions of each coffe. Some of the staff also serve as knowledgable rexcources. Offering bagels, LoveBird Donuts, and other goodies, many folks grab their breakfast or brunch here too. Hazelnut Iced coffee remains a favorite for many--a local secret, stop in and check it out, but don't tell anyone!
The staffers are friendly. The coffee is good but it's become expensive. Medium cappuccino with extra expresso was $7.60 on recent visit, while other cafes charge less. Like the place and the coffee but it's more of a treat now. The weekend hours are shorter.
I have heard a lot of good things about this local coffee shop. And it did not disappoint!!! Staff is extremely helpful & kind. Coffee is amazing, you can taste every note and care put into the brew. Bagels are yummy as well!! This is will be a regular spot for me
I've been searching for local roasted coffee with a nice aroma and full flavor and now I found it! They also have a bunch of bakery, treats and breakfast but I haven't try it yet, I looking forward to try some during my next visit.
Loved it. Great coffee and the ladies were very helpful.
Fantastic coffee!
Bought a 1lb bag of beans. I was skeptical about open trays of beans in a case, I should have known better. Stale!
We are always looking for places that have brewed coffee flavors and not flavor shots. Port City won’t let you down! My go to is their rain forest crunch iced coffee but keep a look out for their special flavors like chocolate raspberry! So yummy!
Great coffee! Pro tip, they sometimes have local eggs in the fridge for a good price! I was lucky enough to snag a dozen to being back home. Will stop by again!
Always stop here for their coffee beans. Best coffee beans I've ever had. Wish I lived closer (from NJ).
Excellent coffee choices and the staff is very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend
Delicious and friendly, what more do you want?
Excellent bagels and coffee!
I’m a cappuccino lover and have been experimenting with local roasters. In my opinion, the Capone from Port City is the best around.
THE BEST coffee in Portsmouth, and there are a lot of coffee shops in Portsmouth! Been coming here for years now and never had any coffee or experience that was less than stellar. One of very few places around that actually roast their own beans too. Oh and they have an awesome selection of nondairy milk options – including macadamia nut milk (my favorite!) I was in earlier today getting some Capone beans (highly recommend and I believe it is also their best seller) and asked if they had any lemonade. And they did not, but they immediately volunteered to make me one from scratch and proceeded to make me one of the best fresh squeezed lemonade’s I’ve ever had! This is such a representative experience too- I’ve always had a phenomenal service and the staff is regularly willing to go above and beyond. Seriously, it really is the best coffee shop in a town FULL of really good coffee shops. I cannot sing their praise loudly enough!
