Teatotaller - Somersworth

I was pleasantly surprised to find this little cafe/bakery in downtown Somersworth, NH. I ordered local sourdough English muffin topped with vegan cream cheese, avocado, and greens and it was SO good! I also ordered an energy ball (it was okay, a little oily), and a lager bar which was delicious. They also have vegan nice cream which I have yet to try!

The customer service at this restaurant is excellent and the atmosphere is fantastic. I loved the style of the place, it made me want to stay forever! They have a huge monstera plant that I absolutely love. My main reason for visiting was to make this my go-to spot for bubble tea. I tried a black milk bubble tea that was similar to a brown sugar milk bubble tea. Unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations as the tapioca was a bit hard and it tasted like watered down coffee. I would be willing to try one of their lemonades in the future. I also ordered the waffles, which were great with just the right amount of strawberries and whipped cream on top. Additionally, I ordered four macarons in mocha and birthday flavors, which were delicious. I would be happy to return to this restaurant and try more of their food and drinks. Overall, I would recommend it to family and friends.

However, there were a couple of things that could be improved. The berry lemonade I ordered tasted like something I could have purchased at Market Basket for a lower price. Additionally, I was disappointed by the wait time for my sandwich and its size. Despite the delicious taste, the portion was small for the price paid. Overall, I would give my first experience at this restaurant a 7 out of 10.

The brunch menu is excellent and reasonably priced. However, there is room for improvement in the quality of the tapioca. At times, it can be too soggy or too hard. Tapioca should be chewy and have a good balance. I suggest boiling the tapioca with brown sugar, then putting it into ice water before refrigerating it. Hopefully, this adjustment will improve the quality of the tapioca.

I tried boba for the first time and it was delicious! The menu had a variety of options for vegans, as well as gluten-free choices. The atmosphere was inviting and the service was excellent. I will definitely be coming back again.
