It's a comforting setting right in the middle of Fields Corner. The cookie I got was delicious. I got an iced mocha for myself and a vanilla maple latte for a loved one. I loved my latte but had to add more simple syrup to it as it's a dark chocolate syrup. Service was great even though it was quite busy. The only thing I wish was different was the prices. It was $7.25 for a large iced mocha which I think is too much and $7.75 for a large iced vanilla maple latte. I think getting lattes from here will be a special occasion thing due to the price, but again, it was delicious.

Food is always good, service is sometimes not great but usually staff is friendly. good place to study or just grab a
It's like the Cheers bar - but for coffee and salad/sandwiches - "where everybody knows your name". ?I'm a tea gal, and they're good for that as well. New England Fog is a hit!
I love love this coffee shop!!! The bakery is amazing! Very cute french country vibe. The coffee is splendid and the sandwiches are so on point with fresh ingredients! My go to place for catch up with friends or planning for my week. The events they have are also really cool.

A serene neighborhood cafe where you can relax. There are several delicious breakfast & lunch options and an impressive selection of coffees & other beverages. The staff is always friendly. This place is so cute- I love it.
This quaint bakery, located in Dorchester, is a quiet , relaxing space with excellent coffee and an assortment of on-site baked goods and sandwiches. I ordered a grilled cheese panini, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It has a calm vibe. Parking is on street only. Service was fast and friendly.

Love having this cafe in Fields Corner! Lots of cozy seating and a very chill and welcoming ambiance. I definitely recommend it if you need a study spot. The food is great and service is personable and timely. You order at the counter and they have a variety of sandwiches (which can also be served as salads) and a few baked goods behind the counter. My favorite sandwiches are the little chickpea (smashed chickpeas and avocado) abd the Brie happy (Brie and apple). I went with my friend most recently and she got the Malibu melt (tuna and cheddar) and loved it, although she didn't rave about the chai latte. We also shared a chocolate chip cookie for dessert which was nice and soft on the inside but still chewy around the edges. All in all very good! Also just a wonderful business in general that cares about the Fields Corner neighborhood and giving back. I highly recommend home.stead!

Cute bakery on the corner of Dorchester Ave. There is plenty of seating inside, including a long dining table in the center for you to chat with strangers if you want to.The person working at the front was very sweet and walked me through the different pastries. I went at opening, so everything was still available. I settled on the pecan cranberry scone. To be honest, I did not enjoy it that much because it was too dry, but the cranberry bits were nice, and it did taste a bit better once I heated it up. The portion size was also decent.I want to give this bakery another chance and try a different pastry.

Let me start by saying I don't leave negative reviews often. But a few things considered I have to mention it. The eggs on the breakfast sandwich are hard boiled, nothing on the menu Indicates that would be the case, I found that odd. Secondly the bagel the sandwich was on was simply a Costco or Thomas bagel, not made fresh as the website states. If you're charging $12+ for a breakfast sandwich, it better be good. The pastry and coffee I were good but this place is expensive for not quality food. $40 got me an iced coffee, two sandwiches, and a pastry. I won't be back as I wasn't impressed.

Close to Fields Corner T station. Fantastic Norwegian smoked salmon sandwich. There are sandwiches, hot teas, coffees, and baked goods. I always visit here if I am in the neighborhood here. I will return for the hot Norwegian smoked salmon.

Came out of my Yelp hiatus because of how charming this cafe is! Worked from here and the staff, atmosphere, and food are excellent. One of the best tuna sandwiches I've ever had and the mocha latte was one of the most beautiful & aesthetically pleasing coffees I've ever had. I think prices were very reasonable too considering the quality of the food. If I lived in this area I'd be here all the time!

The woman at the front desk had an awful attitude. She stared at me impatiently while I tried to order and there was no one in line. Her whole vibe was as if my presence was a burden to her. Then the drink I ordered tasted like trash.
