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

“Fantastic breakfast! Best in Boston hands down.“

“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!“

“I absolutely LOVE this place. We have so many brunch options in the area, but THIS is the right choice remember I said it. The mini donuts are a dream. I literally dreamt about them 🤣 Brussel sprouts are mouth watering & the apple cinnamon pancakes are out of this world! The breakfast sandwich is on a cheddar biscuit… nuff said! The service was so outstanding I didn’t have to ask for anything! They made me feel like I was family 💜 I will be back for dinner, which is just as great as brunch but for brunch look no further! The decor is something special as well. I posted a few pics but please go check it out for yourself. You won’t regret it! PS they love my dog. Spoiled her the entire time! lol 💜“

“The drink was not outstanding. A lot of people were sitting inside working on their laptops, so there wasn't seating. The cafe would benefit from being cleaned. The garbage was too full. I think the bar needs to be raised if the stars/reviews are so high.“

“Relaxed and 😋“

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

“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!!“

“The drinks were delicious and everyone I interacted with was so nice! I really love coffee drinks and both my mocha and espresso martini were really tasty. They accidentally forgot to make my mocha but, as soon as I went to check on it and they realized what happened, they were incredibly apologetic and went out of their way to make it up. I'm not from here but if I find myself in Boston again, I will 100% be coming back!“

“The BBQ pork bahn mi was terrific, good crunch on the bread, nice acid from the pickled veggies, the pork had great seasoning and little bits of char. The shrimp spring rolls had a great texture and the veggies were nice and fresh. The peanut sauce with the spring rolls had a very nice roasty, slightly sweet flavor“

“If I lived in Boston..I would go bankrupt buying and eating all of the delicious pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Cold brew was also delicious. The workers(owners??) were super sweet and patient! I love seeing high quality passion, this place is easily 10/10.“

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

“wonderful experience cute cafe nice waitress“

“Superb coffee, outstanding atmosphere and staff, highly recommend. Will definitely be getting coffee again on my next visit to Boston.“

“I love starting my day here - great food and a welcoming vibe every time.“

“We were looking for a new place to try croissants and coffees. We found this by their good images and except the coffee the pastry wasn’t as good as we expected. However we found the drink good and enjoyed it. Their standing kiosk is not same as the items that they really have so keep in mind to check the glass display counter.“

“Great New Years Eve dinner! Food was great. Staff was amazing. Will be back again!“

“enjoyed a nice cappuccino“

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

“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 lovely folks who work here and nice space, but if you’re a coffee snob who came for the high ratings just be a bit careful what you order.

The flat white here is a latte and the beans are not good. I think this is somewhere to go more for Turkish coffee or American-style syruped coffee. And (probably) good pastries!“

“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) 🎃“

“Nice cocktails and next to Mike’s Pastry“

“Nice place best staff. Great place to handle your banking biz and sit and have a good cup of joe !!!!“

“Very nice location, we had an excellent iced oat latte and iced almond matcha latte. Sam at the location was very nice, helpful, and welcoming to us and our kitties in our stroller. Our cats are now on their pet board for all to see and like I said the drinks were great.“

“Heidi’s House of Coffee is an Oasis in a Food Court full of Fast Food corporate types of restaurants. The coffee is great, pastries are great, and the service from Heidi is second to none. Everything is individualized to your liking. Start your day with a friendly hello, the best coffee, and a genuine smile. You won’t go wrong. Dave“

“Had my 1st time order of their Hawaiian Grilled Cheese; YUMS! I was taken back from their use of BBQ sauce, makes the sandwich super sweet, but honestly, I'd order it again!“

“Great coffee & some of the best breakfast sandwiches in all of Boston“

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

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

“I stopped by Sorelle Bakery & Cafe near Boston’s Financial District, and it felt like a perfect little spot for a quick breakfast or coffee break. The café has a relaxed neighborhood vibe, with people grabbing coffee on their way to work or sitting down for a casual lunch.

I ordered a coffee and a breakfast sandwich, and both were fresh and satisfying. The bakery also has a good selection of pastries, muffins, scones, soups, salads, and sandwiches, making it a convenient place for either breakfast or a light lunch.

The service was quick and friendly, which makes sense since many customers are office workers from nearby buildings. The atmosphere is simple and comfortable—nothing fancy, but a nice place to relax for a few minutes in the middle of a busy downtown area.

Overall, Sorelle Bakery & Cafe is a solid choice if you want good coffee, fresh pastries, and a quick, casual meal while exploring or working in downtown Boston“

“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!“

“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!“

“Best coffee in town. Very smooth!“

“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!!“

“We got to our hotel (Marriot Copley) around 10:30am. Jaho was right next door. So we thought “why not”. So glad we did. Thankful we did!!!! I had the salmon bagel (lox). Never, have I ever had a bagel that good. It was so amazing. My husband had a turkey sandwich. Which, we LOVED. We are going back before we leave Boston! This place is a Gem!!!“

“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.“

“Amazing coffee, go here every other day. Close to my workplace and by far one of the best coffee spots👌 I usually only get drip coffee black but I have tried their cubano which is a latte, it was really good for those that want something that tastes bold and sweet. Their drip is really good both the dark roast and light which I get interchangeably. Really nice service and quick too. As for food I only had their smoked salmon sandwich, 8/10. Would get again.“

“amazing pastries!! nice people and very good coffee. I will be back!“

“great coffee!!! great vibes“

“Lots of tables for studying, fewer outlets, but plenty of comfy seating. They had a fun variety of drinks. I didn't get any food, but my friends sandwich smelled really good. I got an ube matcha latte because it looked really pretty and there's free wifi even on the weekends.“

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

“It’s the best place for after the gym“
