39 Best Cafes in Boston

“Great tapas / quite filling“

“If you’re looking for a place that’s clean, safe, and FUN to go highly recommend. Awesome food and drinks ($5 sandwiches during happy hour!), lovely outdoor patio dining, and there are still games available to play sanitized between people! So happy to come back here again and get the same great service.“

“Corner Cafe & Bakery is an Asian bakery located in the heart of Chinatown.

The staff are friendly, though there is little interaction with them as it is a pick your own, as most Asian bakeries are. there is a $10 minimum to use a credit card, but getting a decent amount of pastries will hit this easily.

The pastries are pretty average to other Asian bakeries in the area. The Pineapple bun is good, and they offer multiple options like roll cakes, hot dog bao, and more.“

“Cosmopolitan setting, designed to be in and out fairly quickly w limited seating. Busy, high energy. Very well trained staff.

Amazing food. So fresh and prepared in interesting ways. Lamb hash was a real treat and the oats w berries was the freshest we've ever had.

If we lived locally, this would be a regular stop.“

“Four Piece Suit is what makes it worth visiting! We have been following them since the 90s, when they were playing music in Tam O’Shanter pub in Brookline, MA. They gathered a huge crowd the day we saw them for the first time. We were fortunate to get in the pub because they were so famous.“

“smooth latte, nice to have a decaffeinated lattee.“

“I was running around I got in and they do have water for everybody !! I tried the Coffee cake and I took the brownies to go, really nice. Friendly staff and nice people to interact with, I’ll come back during my morning runs. Thanks, guys!“

“Great food at great price!“

“Nice cocktails and next to Mike’s Pastry“

“Had a wonderful time, especially thanks to the tour guide(s) at 4 pm. The main leader, “Sarah,” definitely made the experience worthwhile. There was a giant group of young kids that weren’t paying much attention (as young kids do-not a complaint) yet we were able to learn and enjoy the amazing museum and experiences nonetheless. They were very accommodating, humorous, and well equipped to handle large groups of people while keeping their attention. We liked the experience and would go back.“

“Amazing coffee and food! Not super sweet like other shops and the coffee is flavorful! Great friendly service!“

“Visited this awesome cafe during my stay in Dorchester. The cozy atmosphere and the delicious selection of pastries and sandwiches made it one of the highlights of my trip! I loved the mexican chocolate spice cake, fruit bread pudding, and the strawberry almond bar.“

“We bought GH coffee in Boston a couple years ago. Best coffee ever!“

“The food is delicious and made with such care — every dish tastes fresh and flavorful. The pastries are outstanding — flaky, fresh, and just the right amount of sweetness. The café has a warm, inviting atmosphere and the staff are always friendly and helpful. A perfect spot for brunch, coffee, or a sweet treat. Highly recommend!“

“Great place! Hugely important to support places like this during the pandemic and even though it is a little pricey to buy some items they are great quality and available! Support our local businesses.“

“The cappuccino and croissants are amazing. Very friendly staff who seem to always aim to please. Very quick and efficient service with a smile. Nice local cafe with a few bar stools to relax with your morning cuppa.“

“Beautiful place with a cozy atmosphere! Their pour-over coffee is excellent and really stands out. The sandwiches are fresh and delicious, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend for both coffee lovers and anyone looking for a nice spot to relax“

“Coffee, Baklava, and most importantly the unique experience of being able to peer into arguably Boston’s coolest full-service motorcycle shop. If you’re there you might even get a sneak peek at some of the Madhouse teams latest projects!!!“

“amazing pastries!! nice people and very good coffee. I will be back!“

“loved the chick pea fries❣“

“Cafe 180 Serves coffee and fresh pastries with a smile. Excellent place to meet a colleague or friend. Highly Recommend!“

“This is Tatte #4 for me on my quest to visit them all and try a kuign Amann at each. Parking was a little rough and this one doesn’t have the abundance of floor to ceiling windows that some of the others do but I loved the industrial vibe and all of the windows into the giant kitchen where you could see all of the pastry being made. A nice display, though not as good as the one at assembly Square, but lots of space and different kinds of seating.“

“The Tatte in Fenway has a cute, warm interior and a convenient location. It gets very busy, so be prepared to wait for a table, but it's worth it. I loved the lentil soup and the apple crumble cake. It's a great spot for a quick bite or for getting some work or studying done.“

“TEBRİKLER... GÜZEL İNSANLAR“

“So excited I got to enjoy the Roasted Turkey Sandwich today! Love the T.V. show & cookbooks so this visit was a bucket list item.“

“I have been to Caffe Nero multiple times and am never disappointed! My favorite is the vegetarian ciabatta! ☕️“

“great food, friendly service, dog friendly patio.“

“Best bubble tea ☕️ cheese tea“

“God bless this place. I'm a Puerto Rican that longed for Spanish breakfast in Boston, with as close to the taste of the island food as possible. Their $9/$10 Versailles sandwich taste like what I grew up eating (I would remove the Dijon mustard next time but it did enhance the flavor) and their $5
coffee is soft not dangerously strong and it's so affordable !! I will be coming here more often!! The ambience is peaceful too“

“I was back in Adams Village today (my old neighborhood) and as I crossed Gallivan Blvd, my 4 year old said “mummy!!!!!!! look at the smiley faced balloons!!!” I pulled over and asked the woman at the register if she would be willing to sell me one of the balloons with my coffee order. She immediately cut one off and gave it to my little boy. It made his day, and the wonderful banana hazelnut coffee made mine. ❤️“

“I had the pleasure of visiting Mudhouse recently and was delighted by the exceptional service provided by Lily. From the moment I walked in, her warm and welcoming demeanor made me feel right at home. Lily's attentiveness and genuine interest in ensuring my experience was enjoyable did not go unnoticed. She skillfully recommended the perfect coffee blend (the peanut butter one) and offered insightful suggestions that truly enhanced my visit. Her professionalism and friendly attitude are a credit to Mudhouse. I look forward to returning and experiencing more of her outstanding service. Thank you, Lily!“

“Very good, kind and patient service. The atmosphere is good as well. I did not like the coffee with milk I ordered. I like much more the Puerto Rican coffee I am drinking now at my home. They should include perhaps this Caribbean coffee option. I always find the coffee with milk from Cuba, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico much better than the one from the US.“

“Boston News Cafe is in 28 State Street. The owners are nice and very customer focused, and service is generally good. The breakfast and lunch choices are varied, quite good and modestly priced. There is a seating area, although most customers pick up their meals. One tip: The soups are very good.“

“love the combination and concept of sweet tea, now it's my favorite one“

“Really great espresso at this location and paninis, desserts, breakfast croissants, you name it. They also allow you to order via mobile, so a quick pickup for anyone coming through on the T. Something unique- if you order by Tuesdays,they import their Buffalo mozzerella from Italy!“

“Best sandwiches and great service! The chicken in their greek salad was so good.“

“Relaxed and 😋“
