Cup of Joe Cafe & Bar
31 Market St, Portsmouth, NH
Crema's Take
“This cozy downtown Portsmouth spot has earned a devoted following for its creative espresso drinks and welcoming funky atmosphere that feels like a friend's living room rather than a chain café. Beyond solid traditional coffee, they're known for inventive creations like espresso martinis that draw people in off the street, paired with genuinely attentive staff who make you feel at home even during busy moments. It's the kind of place where you'll happily linger for hours with your laptop or settle in for a long conversation, soaking up the warm, lived-in charm that keeps locals coming back.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Open late. Wifi.
