Lovely cafe with really good coffee. The vegan spinach fatayer was excellent. I would recommend against getting the za’atar bread though - it was really expensive for not very much food and comes with yogurt.

Wonderful to support a queer owned restaurant with fantastic vegan options. Ordered the vegan spinach triangle pies and a sweet tahini latte with almond milk - was told it wasn't super sweet so was glad to order pistachio syrup in it. Prices of the vegan pies and za'taar bread was much higher than expected, but happy to support such a fantastic place

I'm in the minority here where I had a bad experience. Let's start with the good. We came in here and the café looked awesome... you can get coffee AND watch people fix cool bikes and cars.

The earl grey latte caught my eye so that's what I ordered, large, I didn't say iced because I wanted hot to go along with the almond croissant. 10 minutes go by and still nothing. My wife with our baby grew impatient and asked, they said it'll come right up. Another few minutes, I finally see them start making my order. Umm, an update would have been appreciated and it wasn't like they were super busy! Maybe their machine was broken? At this point, they gave me the :, not warm (they might not have the equipment to toast/ heat it up?).

Finally after 20 minutes, no exaggeration, my earl grey latte was ready. It was iced though. Fine, I don't have the time to wait 20 minutes for another one. Got in the car and took a sip... it was the most watered down latte of any kind I had. Again, if it didn't take so long where we are now running behind schedule, I would have gone in to complain because I could have steeped my own bag of tea and add milk and ice to it in a minute with how diluted this tasted. Honestly if this how it should taste, then please take it off the menu.

In the end, I waited 20 minutes for a watered down iced tea (which should have been hot) to go along with an average almond croissant. Maybe they had a bad day but it's enough to deter me from returning. I would have given this place 1.5 stars if possible.

First stop on my 6 hour layover in Boston. Absolutely worth it. Food, service, and atmosphere are wonderful. The cat is also a 10/10 on the cuteness scale.

Great code with a strong body, well balanced. In one week I went like 5 times and brought my friends to get a taste of local coffee shop. Barista was patience and customer friendly.

I came all the way from Tampa to get a look at the Motorcycle shop. Before that, I enjoyed a delicious cup of coffee with banana bread. High quality, recipes and coffee beans . Restaurant was clean, tremendous atmosphere with legendary customer service.

I drive 25 min here a few times a week despite being surrounded by coffee shops much closer. They have the best coffee and food around, with a great vegan option, and the vibes are incredible. Cannot recommend enough 🍉

Totally blown away by the quality of their products. If you’re debating, just get in the car and go there, you will find the best hot chocolate and peaceful atmosphere to grace the Boston cafe scene in years. David, the barrister is an angel and master steamer.
