Surprisingly mediocre.No skim milk at a coffee shop, really? No bathroom, really? I got a single napkin when I asked for napkins and an eye roll when I asked for another. Don’t bother.

Disorganized. Took my money and didn't even put my order in. I waited over ten mins for a cappuccino with no line

What a cozy place!
Great location we were trekking the Freedom Trail and it is right in front of the Old North Church!

The staff it makes a beautiful experience, Omar and Heidi were very nice!

They have nice pastries and good coffee! I really want to go back!

Quick stop for sustenance while trekking the Freedom Trail. Wife and I shared a Tuna Panini which was really good. Cozy place but a nice stop.

Popped in here after leaving the old north church. Location is great! No outside seating and limited seating indoor. We opted to sit upstairs which was an immediate regret because there was NO air circulation. It was SO HOT!! Should have got my drink to go or just skipped it altogether…the drink was not all that.

I used to be a regular. Not anymore. Breakfast sandwiches are ok, but the menu prices are not completely accurate. If an iced latte is a different price than hot, you need to list it on the menu inside ($5 after tax for a small for anyone curious, which is expensive for the area). I also did not ask you to pump vanilla into my latte or there is something very wrong with your milk.
Coffee and espresso is acceptable most of the time, if you want the closest option possible, but you’ll find better at most other places in the north end for the same price or slightly cheaper and they will have better service, won’t mess up the order, and a nicer atmosphere. Service can also be slow most of the time, unless you go early.
Overall, unless you only want a breakfast sandwich, aren’t worried about time, and price is of no concern to you, there are better options in the North End if you have a couple of extra minutes available to walk to them.
