Breaking New Grounds

The vibes of this cafe are immaculate. With a large selection of beans to purchase, a myriad of fun and delicious flavors, and homemade baked goods that change daily, you truly cannot go wrong. Breaking New Grounds is easily my favorite coffee shop in the Seacoast area & it’s my go-to recommendation when out-of-towners come to visit.

Stopped in to get an afternoon latte but was told they don’t have decaf espresso. Pretty bummed as I went out of my way to support a local shop.

I’m a regular at this cafe and I love most everything about it. The food is great, service is very fast, drinks are good, staff is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. I have few complaints, the bathroom is pretty bad, it’s old and often very dirty. Some do the couch chairs are completely past their prime and ripped up. And most of the power outlets do not work, which is a struggle as a college student studying. But my biggest issue is the treatment towards the staff, i’ve been in there a few times now where there has been lots of items out and angry customers taking it out on the staff. Which is should be the manager or owners responsibility to refill anything out. It seems to stress the staff out beyond words and I feel for them as someone in the food service.

Breaking New Grounds is definitely my favorite coffeeshop in NH. The beans are roasted in the store, normally in early morning hours. See the video for the reference. If this place was in Boston or Cambridge one had to stay in line to get a table. This place offers the best coffee you can get in a coffeeshop. There is a wide variety of beans roasted and available to purchase. Everyday there is at least one single origin light roast drip coffee available, which does not leave a reason to want a pour over. The espresso also has an amazing quality.

Best coffee in unh campus :) I had Decaf Iced latte and it was so good. Especially recommend this cafe for reading books.
