55 Water St Unit 101
Exeter, NH 03833

The Inkwell Coffee House in Exeter, NH, offers a unique blend of classic elegance and cozy charm. Nestled in the iconic IOKA Theater building on Water Street, the coffee house boasts a warm atmosphere with exposed brick interiors. Customers can enjoy the classic seating arrangement inside or opt for seasonal outdoor seating on the balcony deck overlooking the scenic Exeter River.

Patrons can indulge in a variety of signature drinks, including the popular Iced Mocha Latte made with Ghirardelli Chocolate milk and espresso, as well as the Nitro Cold Brew known for its smooth and creamy texture infused with nitrogen. The menu also features the "Inkshot," a frothy espresso drink with a hint of maple syrup, alongside a selection of frozen drinks, refreshers, and Red Bull Infusions.

Steeped in history, the Inkwell Coffee House pays homage to the rich heritage of the IOKA Theater building, a cherished Exeter landmark since 1915. Following its redevelopment in 2020, the building now houses a mix of retail spaces and residential condos, with the coffee house occupying unit 101 on the ground floor.
