My wife and I saw their current monthly flight offering and knew we needed to try the flavors. Was the perfect time of the year to visit this location. Not too cold but before the busy tourist beach season started. Just like their other location great vibes overall with friendly staff who greet you and wishing you a good day when leaving as well. Some great window seats or outdoor seating to do some people watching. Lots of flamingo decor and just an overall welcoming space. Also if you are a fan of flavored coffees they absolutely nail the flavors so well! Their current flight included Strawberry Cheesecake, Butterfly Chai (lavender & honey), key lime pie, and raspberry lemon tart! My wife loved their chai the most while I enjoyed the raspberry lemon tart most. After the flight my wife got a larger sized chai and I got a s'mores latte! The s'mores flavor was phenomenal, best s'mores flavored coffee I have ever had! No food this visit but they do have a good variety to pair with your drinks. If you are looking for great vibes at a coffee shop for your Hampton Beach visit check them out! Flights are the perfect way to sample a variety of flavors.

And they have free wifi which is great for working remotely. I also would love to say the service is fantastic. I don't know the name of the girl who served us but she was so friendly. And the drinks came out super fast! We got one of the energy drinks and a mocha. The energy drink was really good (very similar to a Rush at aroma joes!) and my dad enjoyed the mocha. But here is my only complaint.... The scones are not great. I think it is nice that they have a wide variety of pastries. But the scone (blueberry white chocolate) was both super dry and overly sweet. I couldn't even finish it. It was honestly reminiscent of crumbl cookies. So if you like sickeningly sweet scones (like the cookies at Crumbl!), then this would be great. I've had scones like this where it is balanced, but I fear this was too much and I probably won't get a scone here the next time I come. Otherwise, this spot is really cute and I highly recommend checking it out!

I said "may I take the muffin now, didn't know it would be queued up behind five other breakfast orders, to warm-up a muffin." Writing this not to slam but because it is such a lack of obvious, common sense practice for a kitchen that the owners should know and train staff. I see no reason not to go back if I was in the area.

The line was a total of 1 hour 20 mins including being in the line inside. They'll tell you the second line inside is about 30 mins. With that being said, I think it's worth it. I know many people outside asked where I got my cauldron cup and said they don't see how people wait in line for coffee. It's the experience! To the coffee and service: I got a caramel apple brew coffee with ONE shot of espresso. I hate coffee and espresso so the one shot was pretty good. It comes with 2 shots. It was of the best coffees I've had. I also got the sea witch lotus drink. That is a plant based energy drink that I drink all the time bc I hate coffee. The sea witch was so good. I don't remember the flavors but definitely worth the try. We also got the pumpkin mug and the witches cauldron. I didn't get a picture of the pumpkin mug bc as soon as we got the rest of our order we left immediately so others can experience it. I took these photos while waiting for the sea witch drink. Please don't spend 5 mins (after you got all of your drinks) and take pictures and videos and do a "taste test" video. Take the photos quick and move. You have hundreds waiting and 40 behind you inside. Only 8 people can actually be in the cafe. There is a line outside the door frame where you can see in the cafe so others will see you. Again not saying don't take pictures, do take them just don't spend a long time doing so, which I was told happens. The service was amazing. All the staff works really hard and are so busy! They are constantly moving so give them grace. The DECOR was my favorite!!! Loved everything about it. All witchy!!! Definitely will come back during their off season.

You can definitely tell they're exhausted from the crowds and constant rush, so there were a couple of moments where some of the staff came across a little snappy. But given how busy it was, we completely understood and just made the best of it. Overall, we really loved our experience and would definitely come back. The unique shopping, good coffee, and atmosphere make this place worth checking out!

I would describe this place as the anti-New York bagel shop. I asked if they served whitefish salad and all 5 of the women behind the counter, including Ani, looked at me like I was nuts. They never heard of whitefish, hmm? So I tried their overpriced Lox on a bagel. For $13.99 + tax + $3.00 suggested tip. Nope! The bagel is tasteless, the lox was a bit fishy, I couldn't taste the minuscule amount of onion or capers, and it was soaked in cucumber juice. If you want a legitimate New York bagel, go to Brooklyn bagel in Newington. They have whitefish and herring too.
