After 4 years of engaging with great staff and customers at the place, an unfamiliar female staff member, presumably management, approached me with the following abrupt, unprecedented demand: "You've been here three or four hours. Don't do that." I had arrived at 11 am, and it was just before 1 pm when she approached me during my Zoom call. Two hours. Quite the rude surprise. The rest of the staff have been so kind and, for four years, have never complained about my patronage, even when I stay for a couple of hours chatting with locals or working on my computer. Let me offer the following admonition: If you're going to play Christian music, act like a Christian. If you're going to run a business, exhibit a modicum of consumer relations acumen. Don't spring arbitrary time limits out of the blue. Post a notice if you'd like, but rudely approaching customers you've never spoken to previously with unprecedented demands is not the way to elevate your reputation But perhaps this is just one mendacious bad apple, oblivious to the importance of civil discourse. If so, it may be time for the place to make some staff changes. -- A little leaven...

Even its name has a connection to Egypt, referencing Elephantine Island and an ancient bakery discovered there. The café is tiny and popular, so expect a crowd and consider taking your order to go if you can't snag one of the few indoor or patio tables. I ordered the ham and cheese baguette, which was phenomenal, but they're especially known for their handcrafted pastries, breads and coffee.

I know they also make outstanding wedding cakes because I remember a few years ago, they replicated my in-laws' wedding cake for their 50th anniversary - everyone loved that cake, too.

Trust me, you don't want to miss them! The food is incredible (softest and most flavorful bagels in the area hands down), coffees are delicious and they have so many different flavors/ varieties... Baked goods are over the top yummy- and they offer lots of gluten free choices. They also have a salad bar, which I think is awesome! I've yet to try it but everything looks very fresh and they have a wide variety of ingredients available. The atmosphere inside the shop itself is so cute, and the dining room is clean and inviting. Staff has always been helpful and patient with my questions about their available options. And bonus, they have a drink punch card, so as a repeat customer you can earn free drinks, which is always nice! Check them out, you won't regret it.

Honestly, the lemon cake was delicious and I would 100% eat it again. And the Benson Boone cookie was actually really good. I was a little skeptical on the flavor, but the icing really tight it together for me. Kind of reminds me of sherbet and I like it. I wish there was one closer to my house where I actually know since I was just visiting this location. But it's yummy nonetheless! Be inside of the shop was clean and cute and I love the aesthetic! I also love how the employees show you the inside of the box before they seal it and hand it over. Very cutesy and professional.

The delightful scent of coffee was in the air and the staff were absolutely friendly as you approached the counter. Despite a buzz of patrons trickling in and ordering, the coffee was delivered to the table shortly after I sat. The staff obviously had a strong momentum going as I watched other tables being served just as quickly. Before I could even really start sipping on my piping hot Cafe Au Lait, I was served my salad and crepe. It was fun to watch how each person worked their station passionately. The lady preparing the crepes meticulously cleaned her station as she cooked. The staff on coffee were brewing away and sending cups out to diners. Other items were coming out from the back kitchen. They worked in unison like a well oiled machine. I definitely enjoyed my coffee. My salad was generous and hit the spot. The crepe was acceptable. Would I come back? Yeah, definitely my type of breakfast spot when visiting Portsmouth again. I definitely will try their croissants next time as well as check out their wine bar in the evenings!
