It was smooth with just the right amount of foam at just the right temperature. We also tried several dishes, and the star of the show was the granola and yogurt dish (I know, not something people usually go out for). Ambiance was charming and cozy. Service was exceptional. Would definitely return!!

They roast their coffee in house I believe which is a dime a dozen these days. Overall, the pastry was OK. It was also a rather small piece and I think it was $6? A little expensive for what you get considering it's an awfully simple dessert. It would be a great place to go with a friend to spend some time, perhaps I'll give the coffee a shot next time.

They were out of the eggnog latte so I got a chai latte. The cinnamon was perfect and it wasn't too sweet. The decor is thought-provoking and adds to the charm. The service was friendly - not overly so - but not rude. I'll be returning when I have time to relax and enjoy the ambience

There's also a couch/lounge area in the back that you can enjoy when it's not too packed. On the flip side, the beverages and food felt pretty average to me. I've had their mocha and hot chocolate, neither of which hit the spot and I couldn't quite finish. The cookies are also mediocre and don't get warmed up before serving. I am glad that the total typically comes out to under $5 though! Overall, I'd treat this as a third space and not a culinary destination.

The kind where you can actually taste the care, the balance, and the craft instead of just "strong bean water." Every cup here feels intentional--from the roast to the pour to the presentation. You can tell this isn't just caffeine delivery; it's people who genuinely love coffee dialing in the details. Smooth, complex, clean finish, no burnt bitterness hiding behind sugar and syrup. Dangerous place, honestly. Once you start drinking coffee like this, the average cup starts tasting like hot regret.

Dwntwn Grocer & Cafe is a cute little coffee and food shop located next to the Hampton Inn on…read morePortwalk Place. They offer fresh brewed coffee (Blue Harbor Coffee Co), coffee/espresso drinks, chai/tea drinks, baked goods, and made to order breakfast sandwiches. They also stock small grocery items, frozen items, snacks, candy, cold drinks, beer, wine, tobacco items, and essentials. The place is order at the counter or online and there is seating in the front area and along the windows. I stopped by here recently late afternoon. I already had coffee, so all I needed was a breakfast sandwich, which is offered all day. I got a BYO Egg Breakfast Sandwich ($8.75 plus tax) on an Everything Bagel with goat cheese, pickled onions ($), pork sausage patty ($), round egg patty, tomato, & romaine lettuce ($ subbed for spinach), which was prepared to order and ready to go in 6 minutes. I headed back to my vehicle outside and enjoyed this tasty thick bagel egg sandwich with my black coffee, which was my quick dinner before heading over to a gathering. I would definitely return to Dwntwn for another breakfast sandwich and muffin next time.
