Rolling in along the moan strat of Portsmouthâs South End, the ride is gentle, avoiding the bustle of Market Square. Wild Valentine appears as a bloom itself. A few umbrellaâd tables out front invite a pause, though the name gives no hint of what lies within.
Alas, no true welcome for the vĂ©lo. One must lean a quality machine against the side wall, hidden from view â a compromise unworthy of a riderâs trust. Bathrooms, however, are spacious and clean, and service is swift enough. No apparent self-service water, one must ask.
Inside: bright, Scandinavian restraint, perfumed with flowers. Minimalist, curious, undeniably pretty. Morning calm hums gently, but no other cyclists linger â they pass by, leaving the space to locals and flower-buyers.
Here lies the cafĂ©âs strength: La Mulita roasts from nearby Rye, poured with respect. CafĂ© served in a ceramic, not paper. Iced coffee with coffee ice cubes â a thoughtful panache that reveals a true devotion to flavour. Among the best in the area.
Sparse carb offerings. Two pastries on the day, neither tempting for the miles ahead. This is no pĂątisserie of destiny, but a side note, almost ornamental.
Wild Valentine is a jewel of the neighborhood, a place to stroll and sip, to admire fleurs with oneâs lover. For the cyclist, however, it is more detour than destination. A cafĂ© of elegance, yes, but not of the road.

   Read moreTo hang out in the neighborhood with coffee â, toast memories while relaxing in the old fish đ shoppe, then sandwich/ merchandise store was a slice đ° of heaven! I got to share my memories with the staff and I think đ€ they appreciated it. They were very friendly! Awesome window view!! Okay đ, now the food and coffee â! Both were good! I had the Toast + Jam 3, honey đŻ wheat đŸ toast with blueberry lavender chai jam butter đ§. What a mouthful to write âïž! I saw housewarming gifts đ and a colorful selection of flowers đž. I overheard they are locally grown. Gift cards available. Seasonal outdoor seating and dog đ drinking đ° dish as well.. Only issue that prevents five â s, the front door!! It slams shut! I get migraines and I have sound sensitivity, so I had a little misery. But I love the window view! Arrgh! I recommend a visit!
