    Great coffee! Pastries are OK. The seating area is nice but not as cozy as the former coffee shop (profile). They have very few offerings, none of which are special or memorable. If I wanted a coffee and I was walking by, I'd go again, otherwise, naaah.

    Cute little cafe with many options for breakfast, drinks, coffee, and lunch. The breakfast sandwiches were delicious as were the pastry items. We enjoyed some wine and drinks in the evening before our dinner reservations and the selection of wines were impressive for a small cafe. The customer service was top notch and the restaurant was clean, warm, and inviting. We will definitely be back when back in town.

    Such a great place!! Very friendly staff and amazing food!! And wine!! Best cake donuts too. Don't pass this place by- it's awesome.

    Cafés have a way of making you feel at home. Grab a bite to eat, sip on some roasted coffee, and set up to do some work or just meet up with some friends. More recently, cafés have been showing their versatility by becoming hot spots for evening cocktails, live music, and light bites. Stroll is approaching this new wave of cafés. Newly nestled in downtown Portsmouth, Stroll has a lot going for itself. I will start with the positives. (+)The inside of the venue is modern with an abundance of seating, given the smaller setting. They have done a great job setting up the space to fit the most people comfortably. It also helps that they are right next to a few hotels, which will give them plenty of service from incoming and outgoing visitors. (+)They serve La Mulita coffee, which is a local coffee roaster serving quality coffee beans. I highly suggest checking them out or grabbing a cup at Stroll! (+)They provide a great deal of pastries and breakfast options, and they even have prepackaged goods to grab and go if need be. (+/-)Stroll transitions to a wine / spritzer bar and light bites establishment from 4-7. More on why I give this a mixed review later on. Now with the negatives, and I am going to preface this by stating that Stroll is very new and has some areas for growth. If they can fix some of these things, then they are well on their way to becoming something really unique and cool in the Portsmouth café scene. (-)I have now been to Stroll a few times and the service is really lacking. As previously stated, cafés should give you that home-y relaxing feel that makes you want to come back for more. Unfortunately, the service has yet to do that. On my first visit, my partner and I were not even greeted and when we approached the cashier to order, we were the first to say hello...with a very lackluster response. As my partner and I sat to drink our coffee, the whole time we listened to two workers complaining about their shift and discussing how to make certain drinks and getting frustrated. This is a direct conversation that happened, "How many pumps of chocolate do you put in this size? Uh...I put two. "Ugh, I put three. Whatever..." Not the best conversation for patrons to hear. On our second visit, there was no one in the café except for the two workers working behind the bar (two different ones from the previous experience). My partner and I were excited to try the wine and grab a few empanadas to start the night. We were greeted, but again, it felt like we were interrupting the two workers' conversation as they quickly got back to what they were previously talking about. As my partner and I were looking to see what wine bottles they had, my partner finally asked "do you have a wine list or anything?" The workers finally said "oh yeah, right here!", gave us their wine menu, and continued their conversation. Again, I get it, you talk with coworkers, but it really was off-putting for a second time. (-)At night, the have a variety of empanada options. My partner and I ordered two, the chipotle chicken and the mushroom and spinach. They looked homemade, which was great, however, they were still cold in the middle. Overall, as perviously stated, I do believe Stroll has a lot going for itself. It's new, hip, and can be a place that provides music, art, and great wines and bites. As of now, the servicing was just really off-putting and the execution of the bites could be better, as far as the empanadas. I have high hopes!

    Whoever made this cookie here on June 7th, 2023 needs a pay raise. Hands down the best cookie I've ever had. Haven't stopped thinking about it since, it was that good!

    It's a brand new cafe with spacious sitting area. It's nicely decorated and they have plenty of tables. Everyone was very nice. I ordered a latte. It came in a nice white mug. It was delicious and had nice foam.

    Roaming the streets of Portsmouth without a care in the world while enjoying the lights and sounds…read moreon a cold winter's eve, the thought of carbs laden with luscious melted cheese beckoned me like a siren's song. First stop, busy. Second stop, twas still busy. Third stop, the word Napoletana caught my attention. One of my favorite styles of pizza, I didn't even think twice to verify the legitimacy of their offerings and walked right through the door and sat by the bar (skipping the long wait for a table). Two bartenders, night and day in their demeanor. One was rather calm and quiet BUT very polite and efficient. The other, rude and inattentive. I'm glad (and thankful) that the former of the two waited on my side of the bar. It was very busy and the atmosphere was filled with celebratory cheer. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. Food came at a reasonable time based on how busy things were. Bartender 1 checked in often to make sure everything was good. Thank you again. Mussels fra diavolo was cooked well and to the right texture. Sauce very buttery, salted well and with just a little heat (not spicy at all like the name implies). Toast was a little too toasted, lol. However, when the pizza arrived, is when I realized that names are just names. This is not Napoletana pizza. While the ingredients were an amazing combination on their Fichi pizza, the soggy center was an absolute letdown. Mushy dough is a tad much to accept. And now enters bartender 2 at the end of my meal after awesome bartender 1 had waited on our side this whole time. From a foot away while talking to another patron at the bar, he literally tossed the guest check presenter toward me without making any effort to actually place it down professionally. I've not had any interaction with him to warrant this behavior and would have rather ended this evening thanking bartender 1 for his kind service. That said, I left wondering WTF I just walked into based on a name that didn't live up to its name at all. Such a shame. Beautiful place, great concept and menu, poor execution overall.

My wife and I have close to or more than 1000 dining experiences in our time together. If Cava wasn't the best overall, it was an extremely close second. Our server Dan was awesome from start to finish. On point, Attentive, professional, and exceeded expectations on every level. Cava is a very intimate dining experience with a warm comfortable indoor and outdoor seating option. It is also very practical as a stop before going to the Music Hall, an important date or like us an anniversary. Cava is unlike many of the places we have visited over the years in the food category. Every course was exceptionally prepared, thoroughly thought out and professionally executed with excellent plating. I won't go into detail on every dish but suffice it to say there was enjoyment with every mouthful of every course.

    Eh, could've been better!…read more My previous review of this restaurant was so much better than this one. We stopped in at Toscana while visiting Portsmouth for the day. I know our last experience was great so I was expecting the same. To our suprise it was not. First it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon so we sat on their patio to just have a drink and a snack. Our server Delia came over to see what we wanted to order. We both started off with a water and I had their Paloma and my husband had a beer. It seemed like it was forever for our drinks to arrive. When she finally brought them over, she said the bartender had to go downstairs and get something so that was the reason for our wait. It would've been nice for her to let us know this. We also ordered their Mozzarella app which was fried and came with a pesto sauce. It was good but wish it had a bit more sauce on it or even a side of marinara. She also brought the check when we weren't even finished or asked for it, which was a bit disappointing since we probably would've ordered another drink, but to us that was a sign of "let's go." I don't know what has changed with this place because it used to be better. It also wasn't crowded so I expected the service to be much better than what it was. Maybe next time, Toscana!

    Our server, Eddie, was amazing...and the food was delicious!…read more There were seven of us for dinner and everyone loved their food...mozzarella en carozza, a meatball and burrata were excellent apps, plus the bread was perfect. For our meals the choices were ribeye steaks, short ribs and lobster ravioli, with a side of mashed potatoes - again, all the food was fantastic. For dessert we shared fruit tarts and the doughnuts - and polished them all off! We all highly recommend this restaurant from start to finish!
