50 Best Coffee Shops in Boston

“Nice pastry’s and good location“

“Ask for the Tofu Bahn Mi to be made vegan (no aioli), may be other options if you ask. The tofu is fried and super flavorful! I got a black Vietnamese coffee as well that was delicious and bold, they have oat milk for lattes and are open to customization. Small inside but nice table and bar seating, cozy atmosphere. Solid option in the area around Boston’s best art museums!“

“Fantastic breakfast! Best in Boston hands down.“

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

“The food on offer looked very tasty. I had the egg sandwich with salmon and their tatte house latte. The sandwich was very tasty but a little messy to eat. The latte was honey, halva and cardamom flavoured which was very pleasant and different. Overall I enjoyed my time there except when I was approached by a person asking for money and had to pack up and leave to avoid confrontation :(“

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

“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“

“great coffee!!! great vibes“

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

“I passed this coffee spot everyday for a whole year. I’m very iffy on coffee in Boston. It’s a miss every time. But this place was actually good! Nutella coffee actually tasted like Nutella and it’s actually people who know how to make a PROPER cup of coffee“

“Relaxed and 😋“

“Went today with my girlfriend, we had the most amazing baklava and Turkish coffee/matcha latte. The owner is the friendliest man you can find in Boston. Delicious coffee and pastries aside, I would visit this place simply for the hospitality; it was an outstanding experience.“

“We got the muffuletta sandwich and it was SPECTACULAR! It was a new sandwich for us…the bread was perfectly paired to the style of sandwich and fresh. The meats and cheese were delicious and the olive garnish and herbs enhanced this unique taste experience. We took the sandwich to go but the restaurant was clean and relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and fast service.“

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

“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.“

“I came to the square root to hear jazz. The place holds jazz evenings once every two weeks on Sundays. The place is cozy, well ventilated, good acoustics and most fun, it serves good food! We ate great pizza with ham and bacon and a cinnamon roll with excellent coffee. Highly recommended.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Why so much plastic?
Even if you stay at "Sorelle" to eat and drink: plastic rulez!
I don't think that's "sustainable".

There ARE porcelain mugs...but you have to SPECIFICALLY request them.

The coffee itself? Fab!
The toasts and the sandwishes: too!!“

“Expensive doughnuts that are good, but I dont think are worth the hype. I definitely think its worth going in to try and donut or two. For donuts theres a few directions you can go - you can be simple, you can be tasty, you can be creative, or you can be all three. Blackbird donuts are creative, But they sacrifice taste.“

“Omg that was amazing taste on everything.. Highly recommended to try the chives scone 👌👌“

“I stopped by Tate twice during my 4 day visit. They have a huge selection of pastries, cakes and baked goods. Their menu is extensive. I enjoyed my savory French toast. If I had a bigger stomach, I would love to try their sweet French toast because it looked amazing on someone’s table!!! I loved the new drink “Ginger date latte with oat milk”. It had such good flavor. I only wish the milk was thoroughly steamed, but it was only lukewarm. But, overall, I like Tatte a lot and would definitely return when I visit Boston next time.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a lift inside their restaurant.“

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

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

“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) 🎃“

“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“

“Please do not EVER remove the meatball parm sandwich from your menu. it would also be nice to have a better variety of music.“

“Best coffee in town. Very smooth!“

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

“Nice cocktails and next to Mike’s Pastry“

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

“First, this is not a fancy restaurant. It's very low key, cozy. More like a small neighborhood bar restaurant. I counted about 60 seats in a small space. Alot of take out. The food was excellent. We started with the grilled veggie antipastoGood portion, perfectly toasted bread. Then a house salad that was shareable for two. We had chicken pesto, caramelized pizza and it was delicious either of us are huge pizza eaters so this was a treat. The caramelized onions were perfect..It was absolutely a great thin crust pizza. Our server was friendly and made sure the chef took care with my food allergy. The entire meal was delicious.. We wanted something low key but really good food.. Ducali's did not disappoint. Oh, and the prices are very reasonable .wonderful find on our weekend in Boston.“

“Stopped in and glad I did. Great breakfast choices and amazing coffee. I’ll definitely be back!“

“This spot has some solid, delicious, unique, and well-curated sandwiches. The taj mahal sandwich has some of the best egg salad fillings I've ever tasted and the turkey town pressed panini was perfectly toasted —yet soft, and very flavorful.

I'm not much of a coffee person but my partner is a coffee snob and thought that their brown sugar latte was delicious, which is not to be taken lightly from her. We'll definitely come back when we're in the area to try more slapping sandwiches (and coffee for her).“

“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.“

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

“The Greek food was delicious.“

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

“The location I choose to come to meet friends or to work. A great team and management, good banter and great environment - they know and value me, I value them and pay my way, like the music to work to and they know my preferences well. Best cafe/coffee shop in the area. One request. A non-meat protein salad and some healthy crackers for those who do not like bread/sandwiches. Do like the soups and Coppa frittata and appreciate the hard boiled eggs when I need a different protein boost. You guys rock.“

“Just like a regular ice cream shop, but happens to be vegan! The ice cream is just as sweet as Van Leeuwen, I’d say (so pretty sweet). I saw a review saying it tasted like there were bits of ice chips in the ice cream, but I didn’t get that at all… you can sample as many flavors as you like, too! They also sell vegan toppings to-go like hot fudge which was really cool! And they have a vegan ice cream cookbook for sale, and sell ice cream makers so, if you’re traveling to Boston like me, you still have potential to enjoy it at home too (with a bit more effort and commitment lol, and their cookbook is available on Amazon so if I ever get an ice cream maker, I’ll look into the cookbook haha).“

“Wonderful carrot cake and midnight chocolate cake purchased by our daughter for our birthday celebration.“

“I came here a week ago and am still thinking about how good the iced latte was. A small space, but very modern and welcoming. It was my first time having their coffee, and my iced mocha latte was amazing. I immediately regretted not getting a larger size. They have some beans & instant coffee & other items for sale, too.“

“loved the chick pea fries❣“

“We stopped in for coffee and cinnamon rolls, but Janelle, super friendly, advised us to walk on the a full-service Cafe Nero, because they would have the rolls.So sweet of her and caring to want our experience to be great instead of settling for the few bakery choices in this smaller place.“

“The cappuccino and croissants are amazing. Very friendly staff who seem to always aim to please. Very quick and efficient service with a smile. Nice local cafe with a few bar stools to relax with your morning cuppa.“
