Caffe Kilim
163 Islington St, Portsmouth, NH
Crema's Take
“This Portsmouth gem combines serious espresso craft with the warmth of a neighborhood gathering spot, where baristas remember your name and the bohemian-styled space invites you to linger for hours. Beyond the carefully pulled shots and smooth cold brew, the attached market showcases local artisans and imported treasures like Turkish delights and baklava, turning your coffee run into a small adventure.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Opens early. Family friendly.

Got a Turkish coffee here and some baklava. It was a really cozy shop. The ambiance and decor is best described as bohemian. The Turkish coffee was full of grounds, a telling sign of poor quality. The baklava was delicious though!
