I just held a surprise birthday party here and I cant say enough about how wonderful the staff, food, drinks and ambience was. They made everything so easy! Highly recommend hosting an event here! read more

Excellent!! They have custom sandwiches... mine was turkey croissant and DELICIOUS! Caesar was awesome and made me an incredible iced maple latte. We needed a quick place to stop on our way from New Hampshire to Boston. Stroll was perfect! read more

With Stroll being so conveniently located across from my chiropractor, it's so nice and easy to stop in to get some work done and for a quick bite. This time, I got the grilled cheese. The bread was nicely toasted and crispy, and the cheese was melty on the edges. I just wish it was equally melty on the inside. read more

While exploring the downtown, we wanted to grab a quick beverage to warm us up on the crisp fall day. We popped in and were pleasantly surprised at their selection of beverages. While we did not need caffeine so late in the day, I went with their hot chocolate and my husband went with a tea. I will say this is one of the best hot chocolates I've ever had. Staff were incredibly friendly and there was a variety of seating inside as well. It also looks like a place where it is easy to work on your laptop and get some work done or have a casual meet up with friends or for a date. read more

Happy to find a coffee shop in town that was actually open before 8am. The staff was super friendly, accommodating, and quick. My iced vanilla latte was delicious and the croissant was soft and buttery. I can definitely see myself sitting down and enjoying the ambiance next time I'm in town and have the time. read more

Out of the way, was hard to find actually but was worth the search! Freshly made sandwiches and seating available. A definite plus for those folks working in that building and an out-of-the-way luncheon spot for others. read more

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. read more

Quick friendly staff and good food. Service was fast. Also have grab and go options and baked goods.

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. read more

Very good place. Good place to eat at. The Coffees here are good, have not tried any food here. But it's pretty close to work. So if I have some time I like to get Coffee here. Very clean and neat here. Very friendly and helpful staff here. Come here on Sunday and it was great. Very cool inside. Lots of good drinks when you come in, they have good selection of seltzer water too. I was really happy with the Drinks available here read more

Plusses: nice space; friendly, attentive staff, good drip coffee, reasonable prices. Minus: turkey reuben only so-so: thin bread, meh turkey, food service sauerkraut, and bottled 1000 island. Also, no free refill for "for here" coffee (not sure if that's true for others these days, but it used to be true everywhere..and think second cup was reduced price... ) Will def go back for coffee, but will have to up their sandwich game before this local returns for lunch. read more

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! read more

I work nearby and enjoy the ability to stroll over for a chai latte. I highly recommend their baked goods, especially their red velvet cookie. I wouldn't recommend their chickpea vegan sandwich, but everything else has been delightful. Service has been great and their rewards program is a nice plus. read more

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! read more

I was walking around downtown Portsmouth and came across this random coffee shop to sit down and study. Upon entering, I was shocked at how clean and open the space was. The design is nice and there is proper lighting everywhere. It thankfully wasn't super crowded and there was enough seating and outlets for a large crowd. Staff was all very friendly and recommended a drink to me. I got the stroll maple latte which is their signature drink. It was good and not overly sweet thankfully. The top was whipped cream with what I believe is hard maple candy. For $4.50 I received a drink worth the cost. They have a lot of other snacks and drinks available for purchase. The overall aesthetic was nice and there were cushioned benches to sit on. The only thing about this place is that there is no free parking so you need to park on the street or a nearby paid parking lot to come. If this place had a parking lot, I would come so often. Nevertheless, I will come again to study or just try another drink! read more

Stopped in for breakfast this morning to avoid the typical Hotel breakfast. I had spicy cheddar and jalapeños bagel with egg ham and cheese. Just the right amount of heat. Good fruit cup as well! read more

Kathryn is a true leader who motivates the team to serve the customer not only the best products, but with care and sincere attention to detail. We return to Stroll with pleasure and feel at home! read more

Get the drinks. Skip the food. Lattes were good. Breakfast sandwich & empanadas not so much...

Best croissant sandwich I've ever had!! So fresh and tasty. Had the lemon donut as well. 10/10!

Perfect spot for studying or computer work. They have tons of power outlets too. Great coffee, good vibe, and friendly service. Portsmouth needed a place like this! read more

Cute place and nice atmosphere. Came on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. Great maple latte.

Stroll is a small cafe in the heart of the Portwalk neighborhood, Portsmouth's most urban area. Entering the space one is greeted with a case of take-out foods and beverages that are eye-catching and as good as they look. Moving further into the space you will notice that there is a rich use of wood and light to create the space. At the counter there is food perfect for all times of the day. The baked goods are to die for, this in a town that takes pride in its' bakeries. There is food for breakfast, lunch and light, early dinner. The selection of wines is very well done as are the cheeses. If you are fortunate to meet a young man by the name of Jacob, you will discover both a gracious host and a person very knowledgeable in wine, cheese, and how they go together. If it is not clear at this point, I will say simply that Stroll is one of my favorite places in Portsmouth. Feel free to go by yourself, with a friend or 5 during the 12 hours they are open. read more

While I was initially excited that there were some gluten free options (packaged snacks) and gluten free donuts, the donuts are from Donut Love and are fried in a shared fryer (as stated on their website). Glad I asked how/where they are made but they shouldn't advertise as gluten free. Not safe for celiacs. read more

Stroll has the friendliest service, the people are seriously so welcoming and nice. It is noticably different. Great coffee and food. Do yourself a favor and walk on by some of the ridiculous lines at other places during the coffee rush and get to stroll. read more
