Breaking New Grounds

Breaking New Grounds is definitely my favorite coffeeshop in NH. The beans are roasted in the store, normally in early morning hours. See the video for the reference. If this place was in Boston or Cambridge one had to stay in line to get a table. This place offers the best coffee you can get in a coffeeshop. There is a wide variety of beans roasted and available to purchase. Everyday there is at least one single origin light roast drip coffee available, which does not leave a reason to want a pour over. The espresso also has an amazing quality.

Best coffee in unh campus :) I had Decaf Iced latte and it was so good. Especially recommend this cafe for reading books.

Stopped in to get an afternoon latte but was told they don’t have decaf espresso. Pretty bummed as I went out of my way to support a local shop.

the chai latte was terrible - dish water service was fine it was a little dirty - the rug, the floor had litter and the service station was not clean - and there was no excuse because no one else was there.

Worst coffee I’ve ever had. Wish Durham would put a legit coffee shop here instead 😭😭

I’m a regular at this cafe and I love most everything about it. The food is great, service is very fast, drinks are good, staff is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. I have few complaints, the bathroom is pretty bad, it’s old and often very dirty. Some do the couch chairs are completely past their prime and ripped up. And most of the power outlets do not work, which is a struggle as a college student studying. But my biggest issue is the treatment towards the staff, i’ve been in there a few times now where there has been lots of items out and angry customers taking it out on the staff. Which is should be the manager or owners responsibility to refill anything out. It seems to stress the staff out beyond words and I feel for them as someone in the food service.

Recently the quality of the coffee here has been rushed with little cared for except speed. Sure its fast and convenient for college goers. 4 years ago when I started going here I learned to expect quality in every cup. Now they are no better than Dunks. I would especially avoid their espresso drinks. I'm not sure why but every time it's over extracted and thin and wicked bitter. Ive also never seen them do a deep clean which is concerning.

Cute place with baked goods ,bagels, teas,and other treats. I had latte and my husband got a vanilla biscotti. This is located in a quaint college Town. Nice area to hang out.
