40 Best Cafes in Boston

“Great tapas / quite filling“

“I was in Boston for a business trip and one of my colleagues happened to stumble upon Tatte. He raved about the coffee and the pastries, so I had to try it. I ordered a coffee and the raspberry, pistachio tart.
It was amazing! The coffee was incredible. Rich, smooth, flavorful. Not too hot to drink. It’s everything you imagine a high end coffee should be.
The tart was delicious. Full of flavor, not overly flakey. Just perfect.
This will be my go to spot on my next trip to Boston.“

“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.“

“Delicious food!!
Variety of fresh Chinese sweets. I also got very delicious Portuguese cake. Very good location, clean and super organized, lovely prices. Personal portions and to share, you can even transport them. Ideal to take as souvenirs! They have delivery! Puff pastry almond cookies are my favorites! They have products with green tea.“

“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.“

“We got the muffuletta sandwich and it was SPECTACULAR! It was a new sandwich for us…the bread was perfectly paired to the style of sandwich and fresh. The meats and cheese were delicious and the olive garnish and herbs enhanced this unique taste experience. We took the sandwich to go but the restaurant was clean and relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and fast service.“

“Great food at great price!“

“My friend and put kids came here after the aquarium
The was one guy working behind the counter and boy did he kill it got busy suddenly and he was so kind and quick. The Food was awesome and there was a nice big table in the back we could all relax and hangout at? My husband has the best croissant he's ever tasted.“

“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!“

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

“Great location. Visited during Boston Pride. Service felt a bit sluggish at the time but I imagine that's mostly due to the crowds. Had always heard so much about the pastries and sweets and Tatte and was not let down. Tried a couple of them with a pistachio latte and now I'm hooked. Wish it was a bit more affordable but it is Boston after all, nothing about this city is cheap.“

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

“This spot has some solid, delicious, unique, and well-curated sandwiches. The taj mahal sandwich has some of the best egg salad fillings I've ever tasted and the turkey town pressed panini was perfectly toasted —yet soft, and very flavorful.

I'm not much of a coffee person but my partner is a coffee snob and thought that their brown sugar latte was delicious, which is not to be taken lightly from her. We'll definitely come back when we're in the area to try more slapping sandwiches (and coffee for her).“

“Nice cocktails and next to Mike’s Pastry“

“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.“

“Great Coffee and Amazing Pastries!

This café is one of my favorite places. The coffee is always really good, and the pastries are fresh and tasty.

I also order for my daughter’s birthday party, and everyone loved them! The best thing at birthday party is that everyone loves the food you put out and nothing left in the end!

Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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 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. ❤️“

“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 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.“

“TEBRİKLER... GÜZEL İNSANLAR“

“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!!!“

“Nice place to use free internet with yummy sweets and drinks.
Free cold water was available.

But Fresh juice was in bottle. Not freshly squeezed daily I think.

It was difficult to find tables.
Table was dirty with bread crumbs and I ask them to clean. No one cleaned. So I had to clean myself. Coffee was good cinnamon bread was yummy.“

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

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

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

“I passed this coffee spot everyday for a whole year. I’m very iffy on coffee in Boston. It’s a miss every time. But this place was actually good! Nutella coffee actually tasted like Nutella and it’s actually people who know how to make a PROPER cup of coffee“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“
