    Excellent cafe with good coffee, an expansive seating area, and a nice scenic balcony overlooking the Squamscott river. There's a good variety of baked goods and lunch items that I haven't tried yet, but want to. Staff is friendly and efficient. I used to see movies on a regular basis at the old Ioka Theater, so it's extra special that this place has opened in the same building.

    Outstanding coffee and beautiful establishment in the old Ioka location. IMO, this coffee and Blue Harbor are the best in the seacoast and I've had almost all of them. The cakes and cookies are delicious and fresh and made on the premises. The coffee is smooth, I didn't need to add sugar which is unusual for me. Service is warm and welcoming. The owners are a mother her son Gabe, great team. I am excited about the new deck on the Lamprey river. As soon as it's warm out, they'll set out the furniture. Make this your new coffee shop, you will love it. I am excited that I finally reviewed a new place in NH before Ian W!!

    Iced coffee on the deck has never been more enjoyable. Nice staff with a good selection of drinks and snacks

    We had the Porchetta and Cubano sandwiches, my son and I shared them and both were equally…read moredelicious for various reasons. The Porchetta heavily relied on the pork and the sear, seasoning and proper cooking of the meat. It pulled apart easily, had a nice thin crust on it and was plenty tender while also juicy. The arugula was a good balance and helped keep the cheese in place. The bread was perfectly toasted and crusty but absolutely fresh like a good hoagie should be. The Cubano had seasonings ON the panini pressed bread that were on point with the rest of the flavor profile of the sandwich. The balance between the mustard, pickles, and seasoned bread accentuated the meat instead of covering it up. Everything tasted and felt incredibly fresh and we look forward to our next stop here when we are in town.

    Ambiance is great. And only a few other tables were occupied so it was not loud. Unfortunately, we…read moremust have gone on an "off day" with lack of service-a lot of waiting once seated) Couldn't find waitress when we needed something and for paying the bill etc. The food was not its usual deliciousness. The tortilla chips stale (new ones cooked for us), Falafel wrap stale and falafel balls hard. Requested crispy fries, they were limp. Our bill for 3 meals, 1 app and 4 ice teas was $93. Before tipping. None of us realized or were reminded that french fries were additional 6.50 to our sandwiches. Many restaurants have sandwiches which come with fries so we unfortunately presumed this when asked what side we wanted. Ice teas were $4 each-no free refills which also seemed high. Overall not a great experience.

Our drink orders were taken right away but after the drink orders service was a little slow. The waitress explained they were short staffed. I take no stars off for this. Short staff is a common issue including my place of business. Our waitress was very friendly and really good with the children in our party. I really liked the variety on the menu. There were affordable options with some higher priced dinners. There was an option for everyone in our party. I had the stuffed haddock covered with a seafood stew. I'm a little bit of a snob when it comes to seafood stuffing so I was a little hesitant to try it but OH BOY am I glad I did. The stuffing and stew were amazing! No leftovers for me. The rest of our party had various options off the menu and all of us were please with our meals. I highly recommend The Old Salt. A nice ambience. Friendly service. Great food. We'll be back on our next Hampton Beach vacation.
