Cafenation Cafe & Roastery

Nice cafe vibes. The sandwiches are delicious and fresh, staff is chill, and coffee is also tasty. Prices are reasonable and there's cozy couches and chairs in the back if that's your thing.

Employees are friendly and helpful, the food is TASTY (and well-priced), coffee is fresh and tastes great. Would recommend!!

Excellent local cafe. The coffee beverages are top notch. The food is delicious. The portions are generous. Something very small but hugely appreciated is that the pricing for adding protein to salad is extremely reasonable, which makes it a sensible, healthy, and tasty lunch option. Relaxed ambiance and vibes.

Literally my favorite coffee shop in the entire Boston area. Their sandwiches clear every other cafe in the region. Take it from me, I work at a different coffee shop, and these are still my favorite LOL. Great atmosphere in here and the baristas are always kind. My favorite drink is the iced mint chip latte :) Thanks Cafenation for always being there for me!!

Cafenation is seriously one of my favorite places in the area. Their lattes are so good—always made just right and super satisfying. The bagels are huge, super filling, and really affordable, which is hard to find these days. Everything I’ve tried has been amazing.

The vibe here is perfect whether you’re meeting a friend, reading, or getting some work done. There’s always good music playing, and the space just feels cozy and inviting. Plus, the staff are incredibly kind—they remember your name and make you feel like a regular even if you’re new.

I also love that they have a “pay it forward” board. It says a lot about the kind of place this is: thoughtful, community-focused, and full of good energy.

Overall cute cafe with great atmosphere. Food and coffee is absolutely terrible. Order a cappuccino and clearly the barista doesn’t know the difference between a late and a cappuccino. Food was an overall disappointment; flavorless and not worth the the attempt to eat it. Would not recommend; better off going down the road and getting some a cold sandwich from the hospital as that would probably taste better

No better coffee shop in the area!
Breakfast sandwiches & baked goods are amazing. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, taking the time to connect with you and show care for you as a person.

I stumbled into this cozy little café on a rainy day without checking Google reviews, which I usually do. I was pleasantly surprised by the warm atmosphere and the friendly owner. The menu offers a nice selection of sandwiches and bagels. I ordered my usual hot caramel latte with oat milk, and it was delicious—not too sweet or over powered by the caramel but just having the underlying notes of it which is exactly what I love.

My wife and I were visiting Boston and we stayed at an airbnb in the same neighborhood, god I must say this place has great coffee and BF sandos to kick start your morning. Service was quick and quality was excellent. More importantly they listen to their customers.

I loved the coffee! I am diabetic so they suggested me Sugar free vanilla latte. It’s been many days since I enjoyed my coffee. Super friendly people

Cute coffee shop in Brighton Center. Cappuccino is very good, sandwiches are pretty good too. my only issue was with an undercooked muffin.

Free wifi and power and couches makes it a good remote work location.

I was looking forward to the otom breakfast sandwich based on the reviews, however it was so soaked in aioli I found it hard to eat and thus didn't finish even half of it. I also didn't love the quality of their espresso. The people were nice!
