“Boyfriend and I, who are from out of town stumbled across this place today because their flag blew off in the wind as we were walking by so we brought it inside and were unexpectedly thanked with a treat from the super friendly staff. It was so tasty we had to come back to get more, and will definitely keep this place in mind whenever we’re back in Portsmouth.“
“We made it a summer adventure to try most of the ice cream shops in our area and Red Rover was next on the list. They had a short list of housemade flavors. Mint oreo was swell, and POG or passion fruit orange guava was quirky. A fun stop on our walk to the jazz band at Prescott Park.“
“We love BJs produce in particular but my most enthusiastic rave goes to the free online ordering/pick up service. Having someone else shop for my groceries saves me SO much time. I just add to my online BJs shopping cart all week, and then submit the order a day when I know I'm going to Portsmouth. They're quick to fill the order and very flexible on pickup. While there is a two-hour window assigned for pickup, it's often ready earlier and they are fine with customers picking up anytime later that day. And they don't charge a penny for this terrific service. Thank you, BJs!“
“Update - 8:00PM March 8, gave the location another try and had a much better experience. The woman working was friendly and, though there was still a couple minute wait at the window (she looked to be in the middle of something), my coffee and sandwich came out right away. I drove away with a smile.Old - 8:00PM March 7, two brightly lit neon signs that say “Open,” the radio playing music inside, but here I am sitting at the drive through window for over 5 minutes and didn’t even see movement inside. No other customers as far as I could tell. Left without ordering.“
“My fiance and I visited the other day and just loved everything. First, they were great with accommodating my dairy allergy (french food uses a lot of dairy). I ate the Cassoulet. My fiance got the Coq au Vin and loved it. The meat fell off the bones and everything paired nicely with the bottle of wine we had.Our favorite thing was the cappuccino and chai lattes after dinner, though. They were amazing and we will be back!“
“I purchased cookies & cream cupcakes for a friend’s birthday. They were boxed up beautifully and traveled well. The cupcakes tasted like high-end non-vegan desserts and thankfully weren’t overly sweet. They were a hit! Thank you!Dietary restrictions: Vegan“
“The cutest little coffee shop with the sweetest employees. I always have questions when I order coffee, and the gal working was so patient with me. My iced coffee was DELICIOUS. We tried the pistachio bread and the lemon poppyseed muffin, both were delectable. The shop is so cute and inviting I just wanted to sit and relax and avoid real life LOL. It’s a little out of my way, but well worth the visit.“
“I stopped in here on a whim today looking for something sweet. The shop is beautiful and clean and the owner was so nice and kind. All of the items in the shop were reasonably priced, and there was quite a large selection. In addition to having standard cupcakes and Pastries, she had quite a selection Of both gluten-free and vegan options. I got four cupcakes and a muffin for $23 which I thought was very reasonable. The owner also gave me the wrong cupcake in my box, and instead of just swapping it out, she gave me an additional free cupcake, which was very kind of her. I ordered a salted caramel, smores, cookies and cream (v), and strawberry cupcake (v). The extra one she gave me was double chocolate. All of the cupcakes were great, the flavors were all well balanced without being too sweet. If you hadn't told me that two of the cupcakes were vegan I never would have known. The real star of the show was the banana streusel muffin I got. That might just have been the best muffin I've ever had in my entire life. It was almost like a banana monkey bread style muffin with a cinnamon roll glaze on top and I'm not kidding you I would drive 45 minutes back just to get another one of those muffins. I hope those are a permanent staple on her menu and if they aren't they should become one. The next time I'm in Dover I'll be stopping back in!Dietary restrictions: Plenty of gf and vegan options!!“
“From NC and ordered 4 loaves of bread, which are difficult fo find traditional quality breads here. These arrived quickly and were of the best quality I've had in years! Though packaged in plastic bags, the breads retained their crusty texture and the flavor was outstanding. If you are used to high quality breads with flavor, you'll love this shop.“
“I cannot say enough about how happy I was that Popovers was closed on Tuesday. My wife and I were originally intending on going there, and needed to find an alternative. We stumbled upon Elephantine. Wow! We walked into this charming little cafe and were transported to Paris. The products looked delicious, and we soon found out that they didn’t only look delicious. The young lady, who was serving us, was exceptionally friendly and added to our pleasure. We ordered a yogurt, with, as I can recall, a pistachio, brittle granola, sliced fruit, honey and so on. We also wanted to just try some of their bread in toast form so I asked if we could order something that wasn’t on the menu. We just ordered some sourdough bread and wanted to have it with butter and jelly. The server promptly made it happen. The food was delivered and all of it was prepared at a very high level. Everything was not only prepared well in terms of ingredients and quality of the food, but it was also cooked/displayed nicely. The medley of food, atmosphere, and music made for the nicest breakfast I have had in a long time. We would recommend this shining star to anyone! The Elephantine is top notch!“
