Quaint little coffee shop right across the street from The Old North Church. The Cafe served wonderful pastries and coffee.

The lady behind the counter was so nice and the food was amazing! My prosciutto panini was great and that was the best cannoli I've ever had. Quick service and a lovely place to sit and warm up.

The iced latte wasn't anything to rave about, and the bacon egg and cheese croissant was good for a snack size but overall abit pricey for what you get. The staff and service was super friendly, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return here

Good spot for a morning coffee and pastry. The espresso was very good and the latte that the wife had was good. Wait staff was decent and barristas seemed to know their business.
Dark decor with an old world feel to it making a neat place to go, especially if you are new to the area.

Second coffee of the day as we continued to walk around the North End this morning. Caffe Lil Italy was on the way down the hill from the Copps Hill Burying Ground so this was a great opportunity to rest feet before continuing on.
It's a small spot with a variety of espresso-based coffees, breakfast sandwiches and baked goods. Mrs. K. and I split a great latte that was delicious and refreshing and invigorating. Just what we needed.
The canoli brought tears to my eyes it was so perfect. Loved the coffee as well.

The iced latte and iced mocha were both AMAZING! This is by far probably the best coffee I have had in a long time! This is a must!

Very affordable breakfast and they accept credit cards. Many businesses are cash only in the North End (rumored to be so it’s easier to pay the protection fees asked for by the mob). The cafe is centrally located in the NE area.
I had the large house coffee and an everything bagel breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg, and cheese.
When you first walk in, it looks pretty small but there is a second room up a couple of steps.

Smelled strongly of old frying oil. Maybe I came at the wrong time, it was staffed by two Latinos - lady who spoke almost no English and surly young man just did not speak at all in any language. Asked for cappuccino in real cup (twice and reconfirmed) - got paper cup. They were just going to pour it out of the paper cup into the porcelain cup (the whole point if proper cappuccino is the foam), so I declined and just kept the disposable cup. Didn’t taste great and had grounds floating in the milk. So definitely not worth the nasty old fried oil permeating my hair for the rest of the day :(
It’s too bad, the little shop itself is cute and quaint and looks legit Italian (the espresso machine is manual, not push button) so I had high hopes.
