I ordered a cappuccino. The taste was okay, but I like my coffee stronger. What impressed me the most was the service, especially "Shay." He was smiling and very helpful.

Their leek quiche is very tasty! Lots of space to get work done with a snack!

August 26, 2024 Ordering a small cappuccino yielded an 8 ounce cappuccino with high dry foam, but the espresso was still a bit too hot to drink so I had to wait several minutes. Once I could drink it, it was great! They only offered to go cups, no ceramic coffee cups. They also have two flavors of polar seltzer, sparkling water, lime, and plain.

Very nice place, but terrible service from the manager and some employees. My children and I felt discriminated against and had to endure comments and unfriendly looks from one of the staff members. When we reported this to the manager, there was no empathy for our situation. It is very sad that this happens in a place located within a public library. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, regardless of their background. Thank you for watching the video.

Nice enough but overpriced. With 90% of the library users being students (or homeless), I don't understand why they went with this expensive bistro pricing. Then add the loud talk radio show that disrupts all those trying to study in the library. Curious.

It is regular and little pricy cafe shop.

I got a medium cappuccino and they served me a tinny cup that was only halve full & halve foam. A RIP OFF. I asked to make sure, they said “yeah that’s it” Can’t make this up. Two sips and it was gone.

Bitterest espresso I ever had, and I drink a lot of espresso. Would not order again, it seemed burned. The food looks good and the staff were fine, would come back for other items.
Wheelchair accessibility: Completely level, open, plenty of low tables.
The hot drinks are barely warm. The chai was $6.00! The employee was fed up with me for asking him to make it hotter - borderline rude. This is the 2nd time I ran into rude employees - no customer service. Otherwise, the place is nice.

Nice but they need to add more food to the menu.

A wonderful addition to our very popular and engaging Central library! Whether it's to sit by yourself and relax, watch the world around you, or be an audience to a WGBH program, this is a most welcoming and 'cozy' spot!

The BLT sandwich was okay, but a bit pricey. The truffle quiche was good. The coffee was bold. A distracting news-feed reader-board feature and mock TV set are what set this cafe apart. Nevertheless, it feels like a library.
