Reviews of Breaking New Grounds (Coffee Shop)

J. Patrick O'Donnell

Locally owned, really good coffee and muffins a good place to sit and enjoy Durham.

Valerie Cournoyer

Great flavored coffee without the flavor shot. Terrific raspberry scone.

Andrea Tarbet

I'm so happy that the Breaking New Grounds location in Durham, NH is still open! I was so sad when the location in downtown Portsmouth, NH closed. BNG has the best coffee in NH. I tried the bunny hop latte which was a coconut and chocolate latte and it was delicious!

Jean Lee

Good place to study or hang out with people. The seating became a bit uncomfortable but nice atmosphere.

Mahdi Bagheri

Best place to curl up with your beverage of choice and people watch in Portsmouth.

Great local chain with great coffee roasted in house. Nice patio seating for summer and cozy indoor seating for winter. Also have nice selection of sweets.

Did not think you could mess up coffee this bad...no joke tasted so off I thought it may have expired? Never getting coffee here again.

Not as good as the original in Portsmouth, NH. It Still has good food and coffee.

Expensive drinks for average taste. Food is better than the drinks which stinks for being a coffee shop.

Erica Sellers

The coconut coffee here is amazing! I love the atmosphere, and the Cran Orange muffin is awesome! The gelato is perfect after a nice walk on a warm day

Glen Miller

A Durham and Portsmouth mainstay. Love them.

Becky Holt

BNG is always our favorite! Delicious drinks every time. We also used to get the coffee beans for birthdays or Christmas, but have gotten so spoiled by how good they are we won't even buy coffee anywhere else anymore!! ☕

Benjamin Lilyestrom

Great coffee, snacks and staff.

Elizabeth Sheckler

I gave bng a 4star review last year because despite loving the coffee, the place had a terrible broken couch and a gross bathroom. No longer! Bathroom was renovated and looks awesome. Coffee is still amazing. New couch makes me want to move in. Great local place; part of the UNH experience.

Yoland Bator

It was decent

Nicholas Arnold

Make more vegan cookies already..

Stephanie Trusty

Everyone loves BNG but it's always a hit or miss with the baristas. Sometimes the customer service is great, sometimes they'll burn your bagel to a lump of coal and look at you like "deal with it, loser".

Mitch Kiah

Friendly staff and great coffee. Also has some seriously comfy seating in the back

Rene Brenes

Very polite and friendly service. I ordered a medium latte and the taste was sooo good! Nothing like fresh coffee. There's parking right outside, it's free for 1 hr.

Roger Neumann

Great calm atmosphere to caffinate and recharge

Kaylan Clarke

Great coffee!! Have to put in the cream and sugar yourself though

Rachel Knapp

The barrista made a spectacular almond milk latte... florished with some latte art...which is definitely hard to do with almond milk. This place is not just another coffee shop... They're a cafe staffed with coffee professionals. Skip dunkins, go here if you can!

Loren Couse

Best cafe in Durham. So many good memories.

Meg M.

My favorite coffee shop in Durham -- I become an iced coffee addict in the summer, and Breaking New Grounds is a great place to get my coffee fix (don't worry -- they also have decaf iced coffee, so you can stay cool without bouncing off the walls). Locally owned, fair prices, great coffee, delicious bagels, vegan baked goods, friendly staff, name that involves a pun -- what more could you ask for? Be aware that you WILL run into someone you know there -- it's just that kind of place ❤️.

Christopher Dooley

Average coffee shop not bad but nothing to wright home about.

Micah Warnock

Excellent little coffee shop with roasted on site coffee beans. Excellent fresh made muffins that are still warm if you get there around 7am. Some students study here but it's not over run with the..

Sky Norman

College hangout with good coffee. Better wifi then the Portsmouth location ;)

Matt Pincince

Great place! Fantastic drinks and a nice quite atmosphere.

Mekayla Dale

Staff were lovely and the coffee was great. They also sell aluminium reusable straws which as an environmentally conscious customer I was pleased to see.
