Don't let the 4.4 stars fool you – this is THE spot.
Almost didn't walk in. Average storefront, easy to miss, mediocre rating. But my boyfriend and I peeked through the window and we were hooked.
Holy shit, are we glad we trusted our gut.
Step inside and it's this perfectly-sized cozy space with eclectic, slightly rustic vibes, plants everywhere, Intelligentsia swag on the walls, zero pretension. The playlist alone is chefs kiss – Love's Train by Bruno Mars into Older by Sasha Sloan. Whoever's curating knows what's up.
Came for coffee only, stayed for the salmon croissant and bacon avo bagel that blew our minds. Full brunch menu, killer sandwiches, wraps (vegan options!), smoothies, you name it. We ended up hanging out for over an hour with our books, soaking in every second.
Here's what kills me though: we were basically the only ones there. Sat watching the door like we owned the place, silently willing people to discover this gem. Really hoping they're crushing it on Uber Eats because they deserve lines out the door.
If you're downtown, do yourself a favor. Grab and go or sit down. Either way, this place delivers the vibe!

Been coming here for 5+ years and get the BALT every time. The owners are wonderful and the food is delicious, not to mention vibes and location are a peaceful oasis in downtown. I will be a regular for as long as I'm in Boston!

Ordered on UberEATS. They adjusted the price AFTER accepting the order so I cancelled. Uber compensated them for the food, so I called to see if they could send it and they pretended to not understand and hung up. 0/5 customer service.

I Love This Cafe!!! If you want healthy fresh real fruit smoothies this is your spot! The other drinks are good as well. but the Biggest highlight of this coffee shop is the different personalities and service style of the 2 employees there that accommodates different customers types. Helping you to not leave with a bad experience of the cafe. Lastly, the food leaves much to desire like others have expressed not worth it.

Serves plant milks, but other than one clearly labelled smoothie no foods are obviously vegan by default. Several veggie options and made fresh, but do check before ordering due to eg mayo.

I love this place, salmon avocado toast was amazing! Smoothies are so good, especially Sunrise and Bee’s knees!

I ordered a smoothie and a sandwich and both were amazing! :)
Excellent coffee and presentation. The food left much to be desired, however. The prices were as high as fancier cafes, but the pancakes seemed to be just prepackaged and microwaved. The bacon was similarly dry, like cardboard. Would not recommend shelling out for the food here. But the coffee and atmosphere was nice!

This is a clean, bright counterserve Café, with an available restroom that offers aboutfour types of vegan sandwiches, coffee with plant milk, and a bunch of smoothies and bowls that are vegan. I had a tofu-avocado sandwich on whole-grain bread, it was quite nice.
This is less than a five minute walk from the bus station and train station. It is not open late; just mornings and early afternoon.

I ordered salty caramel late and avocado toast. Toast was great! But latte…I didn’t have that bad of the latte for a while. the taste was like coffee from cheap gas station , I couldn’t even finish it :((
