Wonderful environment, great service, and delicious beverages & food. Nice place and people to chill out with.

I keep trying, but the cappuccinos are still never hot! Why is that? This is the third straight time. The milk is steamed, correct? I end up having to drink it very fast! Just had a cappuccino at another cafe yesterday and it was quite hot. I guess I will order straight coffee here from now on. I do hope they fix this. read more

D Squared Java - Very pretty but not hot? - Specialty Food Near Me - Exeter, New Hampshire

I had a horrible barista today with a bad attitude, who was wearing a neon orange hat. I come from out of state and love to support local coffee shops especially considering I also work in the same industry. But this girl was giving me so much attitude and dirty looks. She made my mom so uncomfortable she had to walk out. To top it off after dealing with her attitude my latte has grinds at the bottom of it. I felt like I was getting a coffee at Dicks last resort. Absolutely horrible the worst service read more

Super cute cafe with delicious coffee! The barista really took care with our coffees and even gave us some sparkling water free of charge as a palate cleanser on the side. The space inside is very cozy, and in warm weather, they have seating outside. They also have a small selection of cookies and the like as a snack to go with your coffee. Nice place to pop in and relax and recharge! read more

Super cute place in great location. Unfortunately staff were super unfriendly. Three staff behind counter and no one waiting but none of the staff looked up or offered to take my order. When I asked to please order got pretty much eye roll. Prices very reasonable. Coffee and tea okay- good selection- although unable to get a steamed drink to order. read more

Delicious Cappuccino! Rich, smooth and flavorful coffee. Good service, helpful and kind staff.

Went to get coffee this morning went to shoppe when it was opening girl was extremely rude and basically told us to leave because she was still setting up after the time they were supposed to be open . I've had a bad experience here before with the staff, but enjoy their coffee and their sandwiches, but will not be back because of how rude their staff has been to me each time I have been in. read more

Allie behind the counter is great, super friendly and easy to talk to. The drinks here are amazing, had a Matcha Iced Tea, and an Americano last week and they were fabulous. The front area features tall stools and counter space for 4 by the window. The other side of the front door is a low chess tables where I've typically see kids playing or gathering. Seems popular with teenagers and younger, one group had a guitar out once and they sang a song, it was cute. I love that they serve old water in a glass dispenser, with small Mason jars. They also sell stainless steel straws at the counter for $1. Small dishes are also offered. I tried their 3 Poached eggs, tomatoes on English muffins, side of mixed berries for $9. A little heavy on the mayo but some people prefer that. Downtown Exeter always has tons of street parking, with such wonderful personality throughout. D Squared is definitely a more hip spot, the only full coffee shop in downtown besides getting a cup from a nearby eatery. read more

Looking for a really well made espresso drink made with freshly roasted coffee beans? This place will not disappoint. Pick up some beans to take home if you can! I would drive way out of my way for a latte or mocha from here! read more

Amazing coffee, food and friendly staff! This is the place I go when I want to treat myself to a great cup of coffee!!

This is a cute little coffee shop downtown Exeter. D Squared has a handful of tables and a small breakfast counter for guests. One wall is composed of exposed brick with local art hanging on it for sale. They offer espresso drinks and small plates at D Squared. I ordered a 12oz mocha to go, which came with a coffee art design on top in a compostable cup. The mocha was delicious and creamy. While I didn't eat anything here, I saw a Benedict type breakfast going out to a table and it looked amazing! They also had a few types of homemade pies in a display case that caught my eye as I was waiting for my coffee. It got a little busy while I was at D Squared so a few people had to wait for their coffee, but the employees were apologetic while working quickly with a smile. Either way- my coffee was wonderful and the staff was very kind. If you're downtown Exeter, I'd recommend stopping in for a coffee for sure! read more

I had trouble finding strong coffee around Hampton Beach, but it finally happened when I came across D Squared! I tried the iced oat milk latte and drip coffee, both of which were phenomenal. The staff is super friendly and helpful. It may take long to get your coffee, but it's because it's made fresh on the spot. Definitely the best coffee I had in the area, by a long margin! read more

When I first walked in the warm spices they use for the drinks filled the shop. Quite intoxicating. We ordered an Americano, a latte, and two small egg sandwiches from a very nice young man. The Americano was smooth and the boyfriend's latte is the best he's had, it even came with a Christmas tree foam! Egg sandwiches were simple but delicious. The eggs were fluffy and went well with the cheese. They even added tomato which was perfectly salted. It was fun admiring the artwork on the walls and seeing all the folks just hanging out, especially on the floor seating! Cozy, chill and quality cafe. read more

D Squared Java - Christmas tree foam latte! - Specialty Food Near Me - Exeter, New Hampshire

Certainly a cute little place with a great tea selection. I ordered a "London fog" and it was so sweet that I ended up throwing it out. My husband got a cookie which was "ok". While My husband was finishing his cookie, we were told to "mosey on along" because it was closing time. So many ways that could have been done politely. read more

Maybe it was an off day for this place or maybe the average clientele is oblivious to terrible service as they savor the free wifi but this was a really bad experience. There was no line when we stopped in to grab a couple lattes to go. The first thing I noticed were the nearly empty bakery racks; both full of crumbs and a piece or two of stale looking pastries. We ordered and walked to the end of the bar. After a couple of minutes of chatting with my friend I looked up and noticed that the young employees were standing around chatting and not making our drinks even though there was nobody in line and no other orders. Right around that same time, a woman we assumed to be the owner (or manager) rushed in and commented on the empty bakery racks, reminding the employees that there were plenty of muffins that could get put out to sell. The employees told her it had been a very busy day and they hadn't had time to put any out. She then asked them if they had any drink orders and they both suddenly remembered our lattes. She seemed satisfied with their mildly improved speed and left the shop. After she left, one employee told the other he didn't know what he was doing (referring to making the drinks) so employee #2 stayed nearby and complained about the owner/manager's passive aggressiveness. After several more minutes, we received our drinks... needless to say, the sort-of-a-barista didn't bother to actually carry them to the end of the bar. As we headed out, I noticed the overflowing trash can and dirty dish bin. Neither latte was any good - one of them, in fact, was dropped at the nearest trash bin on Water Street. The other, 20 minutes after purchase, has barely been sipped. My friend wants her $11 back ... I'd like that 1/2 hour back :( To the owner/manager that stopped in for 3 minutes: maybe you should have stuck around to see if your employees listened to anything you told them; or at least to see if they cared in the least about the state of the cafe. I'll give you a hint: they didn't. read more

Had the Costa Rican cold brew nitro on tap it was out of this world. Super innovative place and a nice relaxed vibe inside. Highly recommend if you are into coffee, tea, or just being alive. read more

Best. Cappuccino. Evar. D Squared is the perfect coffee shop for a coffee shop ambiance. This is no chain store where you walk in, speed order, and leave. This is where you order a beverage made just for you and you take a seat, slow down, and enjoy. That is, if you can bear to drink the beautiful cappuccino that is ALMOST too pretty to drink. read more

Recently moved back to the area after spending 8 years in Dallas where there is a thriving coffee culture. I was worried my days of really good coffee were over. Man was I wrong. This place is doing it right. They're not just serving coffee, they're doing art. Not only is the coffee incredible, but the shop is a great place to hang out and get some work done or visit with a friend. Good seating options. Good ambiance. I love the standing desk in the front window. What a joy to have a place like this here in Southern NH! read more

The coffee here has been good every time I've had it. The employees are always helpful and kind. I think they really care about ensuring your coffee is made well every time. You won't be disappointed with any of their espresso drinks or even just a pour over coffee. Their food isn't as amazing as the coffee, but it's good for a pick me up. I will say that their cinnamon chocolate chip cookies and friendship bread are definitely worth it. Yum! read more

Slow, inattentive staff spends more time chatting on the phone than attending to customers. This place is overdosing on cuteness at the expense of taking care of customers. It may be a good option for patrons whose coffee beverages take 20 words or more to communicate. Less needy typescan do better elsewhere. After waiting a Long time for my order to be taken, and then waiting another eternity for them to make my coffee it was barely proper serving temperature. When I mentioned it I was informed in a snooty matter that this is the way it should be done. read more

Sorry, but I am underwhelmed with my experiences at D Squared Java. I've been here twice and there won't be a third time. This little coffee shop on Water Street should be a dream come true. Instead, what I find is a pretentious cup of coffee, a cryptic menu to order from, very few baked goods, poor layout for getting served, and vacuous and inattentive kids crafting you an average cup of joe for an above average amount of money that takes an inordinately long time to get. Obviously, their business model was not designed with me in mind. read more

I've never had Pour over Coffee before visiting D Squared Java, but I'm a convert now for sure. Helpful staff, a nice assortment of baked goods and one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had (and I'm a former barista, so notoriously picky about my java). My sole complaint was the music was on the loud end and seemed to be a lot of jam band stuff. One or two songs would have been okay, but hitting shuffle and turning down the volume would have helped out immensely, especially since it makes holding a conversation difficult. Other than this, though, well worth the trip. read more

Just started to get into coffee, I am a tea conisseaur. They have the best selection of rich but palatable teas. Some blends even curated on site! Also the cold brew nitro here is amazing, it has helped me inch my way into the coffee world. read more

Definitely not somewhere to get in and out of quickly. Local art on the walls... nice. Converted old building.... nice Nowhere to stand to wait for your joe without being in somebody's way.... not so nice. Just a few bakery items.... downright sacrilegious. And I can do without the artistic approach to brewing. Once sugar and cream was added, it was aroma joes house blend at 3 times the price and 4 times the wait. Oh and the liberal, anti-corporate meeting of the narcissists in the corner, plotting to overthrow some developer in Newmarket for wanting to rehab an old mill building on the river (gasp!) ....... well you get the picture. read more

The coffee and cappucino and baked goods are so delicious here. I am happy to see how busy this place is getting.

D Squared Java - As delicious as it is a work of art! - Specialty Food Near Me - Exeter, New Hampshire

Cozy little spot with great coffee and a solid selection of gluten free baked goods (the banana chocolate chunk muffin, when available is a must-get!). Great place to sit and get some work done or catch up with friends. Ordering / waiting for drinks can get a little busy because of the shop's layout, but not a major concern. Warm and inviting! read more

So far this has been the best coffee I have had in NH. My friend had peppermint tea that was especially strong and fragrant and she also bought a gluten free dairy free granola bar that was quite delicious as well. The atmosphere was clean and cozy and the service was satisfactory. But the coffee. OMG the coffee. I've been raised on some of the best around and have sought long and hard to find a decent breve since leaving my home state and this place hit the mark. read more

I go to D Squared every once in a while to grab something, and have had a great experience every time. I usually get chai tea, and it is excellent. The ambiance is really great in the place. I have never stayed in there to chill (I always get my drink to go), but I think it would be a great environment to plug away at some work on the computer or read a book. The people that work there are always really relaxed and friendly, and make you feel right at home. The prices are a little higher than other places, but that is because the quality is better than other places. So if you want a dirt cheap coffee, go get your Dunkin Donuts and don't come here. But if you want a quality beverage, come to D Squared. It is definitely the best in town. read more

I got an excellent excellent cortado here. Also bought the Ethiopian coffee which was unusually good. (Actually has floral notes--a phrase I never understood or imagined myself saying.). Somebody called this the best espresso in NH and I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case. Try it. read more

Yesterday was my first time here - first time driving through Exeter for that matter. Charmed by the town, and very pleased with my coffee stop here. Friendly service. Ambience of a typical cozy little independent coffee shop. I tried the Mexican mocha. Not sure I would order it again, but only because it turns out chile in my coffee is not my thing. I could still appreciate it for what it was - a perfect blend of smooth espresso, milk, sweet chocolate and spicy chile. The spice doesn't hit your tongue at all. You don't notice it until you swallow and your throat starts a slow gentle burn. After my order, I spent more time checking out the menu. They have NH maple syrup you can add to your coffee. Can't tell you how happy this makes me as I do this at home and have NEVER seen it in a coffee shop. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that I they made an error with my order. Gave me the smaller 12 oz size when I paid for the 16 oz., but not to worry. I will be back!! read more
