elephantine in portsmouth is my number one - i adore the owners and the pastries are killer. rise + grind in durham has the best bagel sandwiches imo. someone already said it, but colby’s in portsmouth is always a winner. la mulita in rye has great coffee and they serve bagels from rose foods in portland, which are some of the best in northern new england. roots in dover has very good vegan breakfast on the weekends. 7north in exeter makes great muffins.
