“ How about a rainy morning and a cup of delicious latte with cream danish. This place is by the hotel we stayed and we decided to have a morning stroll on the misty rainy day. The cafe got crowded very fast shortly after we ordered our drinks. Caffeine right on the point and espresso aroma just perfect. Highly recommend. ”
“ A great place to come for a coffee, tea, espresso martini, bakery treat, etc. They have a nice little seating section right outside that is awesome! *Also, they are open very late which is fantastic also!! ”

“ Are you looking for the most comfortable coffee shop and or bar in Portsmouth nh? Look no further. As a locally known poet, worker and queer woman of Portsmouth, I stumbled into Cup of Joe in January 2023 and never looked back. I have been to most local establishments in town as a patron. I had previously boasted about certain establishments that i called my “safe” places that i had taken many dates to. I lost that trust and safety in a lot of establishments for their prejudice I didn’t experience until many months later. Cup of Joe has never made me feel anything but seen and heard and appreciated. I have never been asked to be anyone but myself. My differences are not only accepted but celebrated. I have not met a staff member at cup of Joe who ever put my safety at risk. They always have made me feel so appreciated and respected. Not only is Cup of Joe a locally owned business. It is woman owned. It is one of the very few black owned businesses in town and it is owned by a queer person. Cup of Joe hosts many events with the local queer community. The entire staff will make sure you have the most enjoyable experience, just be patient as at night it can sometimes just be the bar manager and one bartender taking care of everyone! And please try all 6 of their Espresso Martinis you will NOT be disappointed! Tell Shake the Bar Manger Becca recommended having one of all the Espresso Martinis better yet tell Jaz and Sophie ”
“ Chill place, loved killin time here Staff are cool, the coffee has flavor, and the warm lighting/reading area will have you feeling right at home ”
