The Boy & The Bear offers a unique coffee experience with a minimalist, industrial aesthetic that some find reminiscent of a 70s/80s hospital. The cafe is very clean, featuring sky blue tile walls and tiled bench seating. The matcha latte receives positive remarks for being whisked by hand, while the cold brew options evoke mixed feelings, with some finding the Nordic Light Cold Brew too acidic. The pastries, including the Pesto Tomato Pastry, are noted for their savory flavor, although the overall pastry selection is considered average.
Prices can be on the higher side, with a simple order adding up to over $32 for just a few items. The absence of price tags on pastries may lead to assumptions of higher costs. Service is described as okay, with only one person at the register, which can create a rush during busy times. The seating, while stylish, is not very comfortable, possibly to encourage quick turnover. Overall, The Boy & The Bear is best suited for coffee enthusiasts willing to spend a bit more for a unique experience. Street parking is advised for visitors.
