FIRSY MEAL IN MAINEEE…read more honestly pretty fire, flavor combo was superb and the pesto was divine. The baguette was a big hard but other than that super yummy.

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.

A firm roll that would cut with minimal effort with a knfie. The icing was a little tart for my preference. Croissant was flakey but lacked butter. Madelline was soft and spongey, as expected.

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!

I happened to be talking to my Mom before heading into town about this place & had wondered if it was still in business, she told me it was. Yippie! She also asked me to get her a popover. My friend's & I stopped in here so I could grab my Mom a popover. Since it was MSD it was busy & there was a small line but it moved quickly. I ordered a plan Popover for my Mom that came with a maple butter that Sand (took my order @ the register) told me that it was really good. My Mom enjoyed it. It was a good size & looked yummy! I also picked up a sugar cookie for myself that I carried around all day & due to the heat the frosting melted and my cookie got smushed but it was still pretty tasty. It was sweet but not too sweet. I'd love to go back for another one & eat it before I ruin it! LOL I also got a funfeti cupcake & found it to be very small & kinda dry. The frosting wasn't very sweet. I wouldn't get another cupcake as it's not worth the price ($3.46) or the taste. I used one of the unisex bathroom's while I was here which wasn't too bad for a busy MSD, but they had signs on the door that "bathrooms are for customers only" but I doubt they had any way to control the bathroom traffic. I still have $$$ left on my GC & will definitely be back to try something else & maybe even a popover! :-)

We are on our yearly trip to Maine, and we stopped to get pasta to take a break from all the amazing lobster we were eating. We got a bag of lobster ravioli and wild mushroom ravioli. First of all, both of these flavors were out of this world. We ate both with oil and maldon flakes and no sauce. The lobster ravioli were stuffed full of delicious filling with actual lobster meat. The wild mushroom was super herby and earthy mushroom flavors. The pasta... is perfect. The filling is perfect. Its the absolutely perfect ratio of filling and pasta thickness. none of them broke. They were the ultimate homemade pasta. If you're in Maine, and you need a break from nonstop lobster.... (Except stuffed lobster ravioli) , I cannot recommend this place enough.
