Persephone's Kitchen — Restaurant in New Shoreham

Definitely one of the top places on BI

FOOD - the food is great and especially good breakfast place. Well known for their very cool toast varieties. Ciabatta, sourdough are really good. Bakery items are excellent, everyday is different pastries muffins and things and they are really good.

MENU - this is an excellent menu that has a lot of variety for drinks and food. You can get smoothie or bowls, toast, coffee, sandwiches. Very good with Customizations. A lot of VEGAN / GLUTEN FREE options.

SERVICE - the service here is amazing. They do get busy but if you see a line don’t be worried because it moves fast. They are very friendly and helpful. They take great caution with allergies. Tomaso is absolutely great!!

ATMOSPHERE/LOCATION - definitely has that LOCAL VIBE but also are up to date on trends off the island. Outside seating very cool area and some lounge style seating as well. I will say it’s a little tight at times because they are busy. Parking...

Great recipe from Persephone's kitchen. Thank you...

Formerly the venerable Juice 'N' Java, this quirky low-key coffee house maintains the high quality and friendly service and really just updates the space a little bit, while keeping the reputation for the island's best coffee drinks. Can get very crowded, so don't be in a rush, but be sure and try their incredible smoothie bowls -- far less sweet than others you might have had, or the locally made yogurt which is drizzled with island honey. On a recent morning visit, our party of four agreed these were the best smoothies we've ever tasted. Huge selection of homemade pastries including many vegan and GF options, and a number of toasted...
