This scrumptious dish is not only quick and easy but can be prepped the night before—perfect for a stress-free holiday brunch! Here’s how to make it:

1️⃣ Break up one loaf of buttery croissant bread into a baking pan.
2️⃣ In a bowl, whisk together 6 eggs, 2 1/2 cups of half and half, 1 tablespoon of vanilla and 1 teaspoon of salt. Pour this creamy goodness over the bread, ensuring every piece soaks up that delicious mixture!
3️⃣ Top it off with generous dollops of blueberry jam and a handful of fresh blueberries for an extra burst of flavor.
4️⃣ Cover tightly and let it chill overnight in the fridge. 💤

The next morning, pop it in the oven at 350°F for 45 minutes—then uncover and bake for another 10 to get that golden top. 🤤✨

🎶✨ The Jacob Tolliver Christmas Concert, hosted by Main Street Portsmouth In Bloom yesterday evening in memory of Paul and Kevin Johnson, was a resounding success! As we prepare for retirement, we’re grateful for the opportunity to donate our services to such a meaningful cause.

A huge thank you to Vicky Hatcher, Sue Burke, Emily Uldrich, and the entire Main Street team for giving us the chance to cater this wonderful event. We had a blast working with you! And an extra shoutout to Mary Arnzen and the amazing team of Main Street volunteers who helped set up the food with such grace.

We are incredibly proud of our community and the amazing people who make events like this possible. It truly takes a village! ❤️

Love where you live! 🏡🌟

Twenty years ago, we set out to build urban development in Portsmouth, and over eleven years ago, we expanded it with specialty coffee. In the spirit of asking what’s next…

After 11 wonderful years, we have decided to retire Lofts Coffee Company. It has been our greatest pleasure to serve you, and we are truly humbled by the support of the community we built around specialty coffee, great food, and urban living in Portsmouth.

This decision was made with the desire to spend more time with our family and friends, to engage more in serving our community, and to continue contributing to economic development in our beloved city. Urban living, cafés, specialty coffee, and the arts have taken root in Portsmouth; we want to transition into “what’s next”. Over the next couple of weeks, you will see us making changes to the business as we prepare for this transition.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Your support has meant more to us than words can express. Because of you, our success has surpassed all expectations and stands as a testament to what partnerships, community support, hard work, and commitment can do for a small business.

We have experienced consistent growth, a direct result of the recent downtown development in Portsmouth. We all rise with the success of our community. We hope our journey inspires the next generation of entrepreneurs in Portsmouth. If you have a vision, take that first step—you won’t regret it.

As you’ve likely seen, our part of the neighborhood has undergone some changes this summer. This is the latest stage in our plan, and we are excited to continue this work as we build toward the next chapter!

Build where you live.
