What better way to celebrate the 250th birthday of our country than to try out the warmest table in…read morehospitality: an Italian one. In a place where la famiglia é tutto, they know how to greet you. We were invited in by the quintessential Italian signs as much as the complex aromas. The pastries were a delight, but it was me who was delighted by the Old World style adorning the newly renovated space. A mixture of textures, from wood to stone work to leather chairs helped create the ambiance, and the cathedral ceiling was highlighted by painted white rafters. Today I tried the spiral ham on brioche breakfast sandwich and a café Americano, and I got a pastry with cannoli filling to go. I'm not sure what I'll get next time, but I know this bakery is a recipe for something great about our country. I'm no Maine scholar, but I'm pretty sure the state motto: "Dirigo," translates to "The pastries are delizioso," (give or take.)

The donuts may have been the best I've had - the Boston cream was delightfully fluffy and bursting with custard that was not overpoweringly sweet. I also snacked on a plain croissant on the drive and was content with the crunchy top and honeycomb inside. I saw someone else enjoying a gelato - that will have to be the next on my list! There are two parking areas so if you can't find a spot, drive to the other side of the building!

I'd heard of them since I love their sister restaurant, Lil's, but didn't realize this is where they were located. I'm so glad I stopped in because I'd been craving a cruller lately. The wifi is fast, the frittata was delicious, the honey lavender matcha latte wasn't too sweet, and of course the crullers hit the spot. I got oat milk in my latte so there was an extra charge for that (just a heads up). Parking is free and plentiful, it's cute inside with great music, they have outside seating for nice days, and there's also an event room on the side (wish I knew this when planning my baby shower!)

One staff member even brought over a couple of toys for our little one to play with, which was such a thoughtful touch.

We'll definitely be back!

This is an incredibly popular spot in town for breakfast, so you definitely want to get on the virtual waitlist or make a resy ahead of time. We put our names and mobile number in for a party of two, and with an estimated 20-minute wait, we walked up the street to grab some popovers and a drink for the road later. We headed back within five minutes of receiving the "table ready" text, only to find our reservation had been removed from the system--likely a slight mobile network or system lag. Fortunately, the staff had us wait a few minutes and found us a table. Minor mix-up aside, the service was great, and our server was exceptionally attentive and on top of everything. The food and drinks were excellent, fresh, and well-seasoned. We ordered: - Lime and Cucumber Mocktail - Incredibly refreshing. - Avocado Toast - Flavorful and fresh. - Florentine Eggs Benedict - I customized it by adding savory chorizo, and it was spot on. The menu choices and options are excellent, but the unique ambiance might just be the best thing about the joint. It plays out like part 1950s diner and part 80s/90s nostalgia pop culture shuffle. The walls are fully collaged with vintage, nostalgic art, making it a highly unique and fun interior to look around while you dine. The vibe is exceptionally cool and the breakfast is delicious. I highly recommend checking it out when you're in Portsmouth!
