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.

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.

My favorite spot on campus at UNH to get a coffee! The red bull infusions are also so good!

Breaking New Grounds has never disappointed me on my many coffee runs throughout my time at UNH. The environment is so friendly, the shop is always clean, and the coffee is incredible. Whenever I’m stressed out, a BNG run is always the answer. Amazing business.

BNG is a staple of Durhan’s downtown. It’s the quintessential college town coffee shop. Super cozy to spend hours working, chatting or reading. As an alumni on the seacoast we make the trip out here at least once a month for beans to take home and a drink to walk around campus and enjoy the day. We love BNG!

The best coffee on the Seacoast of NH! Excellent options for flavored coffee (brewed-in, not the syrup). Would recommend to any coffee lover!

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 ❤.

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..

Wow! Great customer service & friendly staff - shoutout to Meg & Madison that make my coffee every morning & are so sweet. I’m not a morning person but these girls are energized & personable! I walk out every morning with my coffee in hand & a big smile!

Definitely a Durham staple. I love going here. The blended coffees are my favorite, and they make great pastries/cookies. Plus they roast their own coffee so my family always gets our coffee beans from here.

Wonderful place to get a great cup of coffee while you study or socialize. The lattes are excellent. Plus, the big windows in the front provide a nice vantage point to people watch.

They roast their own beans and actually do it well. Their espresso roast is the rare one that isn't burnt. The employees actually make a good cappuccino. This place is what most small coffee shops want to be.

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.

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

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!

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!! ☕

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!

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
