50 Best Cafes in Boston

“Great tapas / quite filling“

“Nice pastry’s and good location“

“Incredibly busy for breakfast. It was hard to find a seat. Pastries were really good. I had a breakfast croissant and it was good, but ordered the egg over easy and it wasn't runny, and the croissant was over toasted for me on the ends.“

“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.“

“I came to the square root to hear jazz. The place holds jazz evenings once every two weeks on Sundays. The place is cozy, well ventilated, good acoustics and most fun, it serves good food! We ate great pizza with ham and bacon and a cinnamon roll with excellent coffee. Highly recommended.“

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

“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.“

“Why so much plastic?
Even if you stay at "Sorelle" to eat and drink: plastic rulez!
I don't think that's "sustainable".

There ARE porcelain mugs...but you have to SPECIFICALLY request them.

The coffee itself? Fab!
The toasts and the sandwishes: too!!“

“🥲I really loved it here. If you come here you will be really inspired. So I highly recommend you to come and visit.“

“I went to this cafe while visiting my sister on several trips because the coffee is so good and reasonably priced. My latest visit to Boston I went again to this cafe and was blessed to be given the most beautiful latte! It made my day! I felt so honored to have such a lovely latte. The barista’s at George Howell are trained well but this Barista who made my latte is the best I have seen.“

“I stopped by Tate twice during my 4 day visit. They have a huge selection of pastries, cakes and baked goods. Their menu is extensive. I enjoyed my savory French toast. If I had a bigger stomach, I would love to try their sweet French toast because it looked amazing on someone’s table!!! I loved the new drink “Ginger date latte with oat milk”. It had such good flavor. I only wish the milk was thoroughly steamed, but it was only lukewarm. But, overall, I like Tatte a lot and would definitely return when I visit Boston next time.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a lift inside their restaurant.“

“Nice cocktails and next to Mike’s Pastry“

“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).“

“What a wonderful place. 🇦🇺🦘“

“TEBRİKLER... GÜZEL İNSANLAR“

“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.“

“loved the chick pea fries❣“

“Very cute neighborhood coffee shop with good baked product. Egg sandwich was sloppy due to excessive butter on the toast.

Parking: Street parking only. Difficult.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible. Step up to enter.“

“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.“

“A favorite coffee shop, my favorite in Seaport, the Draft Latte is unparalleled and silky.I came here specially to try the spring strawberry limited edition?, but it was too late so I ordered a cup?Strawberry Matcha, which is made from Whole Milk and is unexpectedly smooth! Not sweet, with a hint of strawberry and matcha flavor. I don’t know how it gets so silky smooth!I will recommend this cafe to my friends^^“

“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.“

“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.“

“Stopped by here for breakfast with my toddler. High chairs are available upon request. The breakfast plate I ordered for myself was good. They would not sell a la carte sides. The drip coffee was great. Tried the tumeric latte - good taste, but the whole thing was foam so I ended up only having a few sips. Nice ambiance. Good for a quick bite.“

“LOVE it. Best coffees in town and the girls are wicked nice! ☕️☕️☕️“

“Great food at great price!“

“Tatte quickly becoming my favorite cafe, with their quality coffee & pastry, plus the excellent hospitality!!

My go-to is always the black sesame latte opts for oat milk!! It is so creamy with a lil crunchy black sesame seed in the latte, such a wonderful combination. I requested extra hot and less sweet for my latte, which makes it even better!

The service is just top-notch!! The crew are so nice and knowledgeable with recommendations. Will definitely stop by again soon! Highly recommended!???“

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

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

“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.“

“It's hard to find a good European coffee place, especially here in Boston. So many of those "authentic" cafes in North End suck, having the overly roasted burnt taste in their espressos. At Kicco, you will find the moka pot like smoothness in the taste. As a coffee enthusiast, I highly recommend their coffee. Best European coffee in Boston, no doubt!“

“The best coffee ever! Delicious sandwiches and the best pastries 😋“

“Solid ground cafe has one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. My son has frequent inpatient stays at Childrens. This is the perfect quick walk to get a great breakfast and coffee.“

“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 bubble tea ☕️ cheese tea“

“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. ❤️“

“Relaxed and 😋“

“Delicious flavors, excellent service, cool environment. We had the Burrata, the Polpetta, and the Pollo Pesto with a Caprese salad and 3 cold and tasty beers. All 3 pies were flavorful and the crust on each was perfectly prepared! So, so good! Loved the salad as well. We'll be back and I highly recommend the place.“

“Best croissants! Fairly regular customer and have catered a few times. Always a hit.“

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

“The best egg waffles (sometimes called egg puffs) in Boston! Large size, housed in an adorable egg carton, with multiple flavors (I like the chocolate best, but they also have taro and regular), and have an excellent texture. Bubble tea is also good!“

“Still as good as ever. Stopped by after a show in Boston and they had loads of delicious buns to pick from at amazing prices. After a decade and a half, they're still my favorite place in Chinatown to go.“

“Love this place!! .always get great service with a smile i love their vegan breakfast roll n cafe au lait super yum.today i was running late for an appt just grabbed a danish n chocolate crossaint for a friend ...so tempting to get one for myself .“

“First, this is not a fancy restaurant. It's very low key, cozy. More like a small neighborhood bar restaurant. I counted about 60 seats in a small space. Alot of take out. The food was excellent. We started with the grilled veggie antipastoGood portion, perfectly toasted bread. Then a house salad that was shareable for two. We had chicken pesto, caramelized pizza and it was delicious either of us are huge pizza eaters so this was a treat. The caramelized onions were perfect..It was absolutely a great thin crust pizza. Our server was friendly and made sure the chef took care with my food allergy. The entire meal was delicious.. We wanted something low key but really good food.. Ducali's did not disappoint. Oh, and the prices are very reasonable .wonderful find on our weekend in Boston.“

“I absolutely loved my experience here. my wife and I went this past weekend for the first time for our anniversary and we left having a new favorite place in Boston. The menu is completely vegan and absolutely delicious. We ordered the Chunk steak, the short ribs, the maple boneless wings, a martini and a mocha latte. everything was so good and their house made vegan ranch is the best vegan ranch I've had to date. All of the staff was incredibly warm, welcoming and attentive. The restaurant itself is small but comfortable and enjoyable. Don't let this place pass you by, it's incredible“
