50 Best Coffee Shops in Boston

“great coffee!!! great vibes“

“Stopped by Phinista and got a Cà Phê Trứng with extra foam on top and they added it for free which I really appreciated. The coffee was rich and creamy, just like how it should be. I also got an Iced Saigonese Coffee and it was super smooth and flavorful. I love the vibe there. Will def come back whenever I’m back in Boston.“

“Fantastic breakfast! Best in Boston hands down.“

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

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“

“So happy to stumble upon this place, the name drew me in, the bright airy space with the welcoming staff made me want to stay. Excellence at every level and some of the most delicious and visually pleasing homemade baked goods around. Total nachat-fest for me. Happy to give them my shekels! Next time I’m going to try the food. Hazak u Baruj! Love at first bite 😉“

“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!!!“

“Really good breakfast sandwich and great vibes.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon to get some work done. The whole area feels like a mini Seaport, but with way fewer crowds. There’s a small lawn out front, plenty of outdoor seating, and an easygoing, relaxed vibe. Pretty much everything you’d want from a neighborhood café.

I tried two of their fall specials: blackberry vanilla matcha and the apple cider + espresso. Both were fine, but the coffee and the breakfast sandwich were great. The sandwich came with a thick, jiggly egg soufflé patty that made it surprisingly satisfying even without any meat or extra toppings. Definitely one of the better breakfast sandwiches I’ve had from a coffee shop.

Would come back for more sandwiches and coffee once the weather warms up again.“

“super friendly!! helpful in selecting coffee and grinds!!“

“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.“

“AMAZING FOOD!! REALLY AMAZING!! A must visit if you're in Boston. Great vibe..just a fantastic all round wee place! Visiting from Scotland :-D“

“Honey cinnamon iced coffee + cherry-ginger scone is my favorite treat breakfast when i’m in the north end for doctors appointments!“

“Really great espresso at this location and paninis, desserts, breakfast croissants, you name it. They also allow you to order via mobile, so a quick pickup for anyone coming through on the T. Something unique- if you order by Tuesdays,they import their Buffalo mozzerella from Italy!“

“Relaxed and 😋“

“I love this place so much. I live in PA, have a husband and children, and still contemplate leaving them for the day to drive to Bakey and pick up a boatload of baked good. It’s that good. Please please please consider coming to the Lehigh valley!!“

“When we come to Boston, it’s a must to make it to the South End Buttery . We’ve been visiting the Buttery for about 10 years . The Easter Brunch was amazing (2021) 🎃“

“It's 28 September 2025 at 0830. The place was super clean, comfortable, and we were treated by an amazing staff. This woman crushed it. I have not been this impressed by service in a long time. I would recommend this shop to anyone simply based off the quality of service provided by the employee.by the way the food and drinks were excellent“

“Lovely spot, thoroughly enjoyed my fish & chips, the DJ was also great!“

“Please, please, PLEASE make the blueberry filled doughnuts a regular flavor. They are the best doughnuts in the world (those and lemon) I'm so sad you switched them out already, as I was hoping to get them again. You absolutely HAVE to bring them back!!“

“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! ☕️“

“The food is delicious and made with such care — every dish tastes fresh and flavorful. The pastries are outstanding — flaky, fresh, and just the right amount of sweetness. The café has a warm, inviting atmosphere and the staff are always friendly and helpful. A perfect spot for brunch, coffee, or a sweet treat. Highly recommend!“

“I didn’t even like donuts until I tried the Boston cream donut from Blackbird. Now I randomly crave donuts at 8 pm when they’ve already closed and I have to (impatiently) wait until the next morning. Anyway - these are the best, softest donuts I’ve ever had and you have to try them too. Plus the staff is super friendly and the coffee is great!“

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

“Amazing coffee and food! Not super sweet like other shops and the coffee is flavorful! Great friendly service!“

“I was running around I got in and they do have water for everybody !! I tried the Coffee cake and I took the brownies to go, really nice. Friendly staff and nice people to interact with, I’ll come back during my morning runs. Thanks, guys!“

“Best coffee in town. Very smooth!“

“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.“

“I had the hot egg, ham and cheese with spinach. It was very good. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted. So, there are a few more things on the menu to bring me back. Staff was nice, the place was clean with free Wi-Fi. Definitely recommend“

“Service is excellent and my salmon was perfect. Apps are good but smaller in size. Beer is cold. I would recommend you visit.“

“Nice cocktails and next to Mike’s Pastry“

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

“All round great hangout! Highly recommended 🌻❤️☀️❤️🌻“

“Visited this awesome cafe during my stay in Dorchester. The cozy atmosphere and the delicious selection of pastries and sandwiches made it one of the highlights of my trip! I loved the mexican chocolate spice cake, fruit bread pudding, and the strawberry almond bar.“

“Wanted something not fried and carb loaded. Found this gem. Got the avocado toast with eggs over easy, crisp bacon, home fries and asked him to throw spinach on top to be healthy. Absolutely love! The owner is so nice and served it up fast with a smile. Will definitely come back.

This is a must visit if you want great food at a great cost.“

“There was a sign outside for a lavender macadamia matcha latte, so we went inside on a whim. We got the iced lavender macadamia matcha latte and the iced honey oatmilk latte. Both were excellent. The matcha was whisked in front of us with the proper bowl and whisk, and it wasn't bitter at all. The oatmilk latte was super creamy, and the espresso also wasn't bitter or overly strong. I was pleasantly surprised by this little place and would definitely go back again. Very friendly barista, and the drinks were made very fast.“

“We stopped in for a quick breakfast and coffee, and it was a great little find. The place has a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere with clean, bright surroundings and decent seating. The wood floors give it a warm, welcoming touch. It’s the kind of spot that feels perfect for grabbing a light bite, catching up on some work, or just hanging out for a bit. Solid coffee, calm vibe, and a pleasant space overall — definitely worth visiting again.“

“The Greek food was delicious.“

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

“Food was great, server was good, p price reasonable. The only they had overhead fans running and it was cold inside the restaurant. However all of the service and staff were wearing short sleeves. So it must have been hot near the kitchen. I would definitely go back.“

“walk-up windows my favorite. 😍 🥒🥓🥯☀️“

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“
