Great little coffee shop that we found while doing a North End Food Tour with Bobby! We loved the authenticity of this shop and all of the teas and coffees!

So helpful! Picked a bold Italian roast coffee for me to use in my new espresso stovetop maker - PERFECTION!

I came here due to the Politically Incorrect North End Food Tour. Their lemon slush IS TO DIE FOR! I still dream of it!

Not the kind of shop I was looking for when I went to find a coffee, but I’m glad for it. While the coffee isn’t my preference, I appreciate the authentic feel — as well as the lemon slush cups!

Polcari’s has an old world vibe that is very rare in this day and age and Its one of my favorite shops in all of Boston for that reason and for the quality of the goods there. The coffee is excellent and in the summer the Italian lemon slush is incredible.

Perfect old school coffee shop to try different kinds of coffee beans.
They have a lot of variety from flavors like butterscotch to beans like peaberry.
They are knowledgeable about their beans so they can talk to you about flavors and brews.
You can buy 1/4 lb to try out a type.
The prices are posted on the jars, probably about $16 per pound on average.

They take credit but I'd recommend cash if you can because it's just easier.

If you want hot coffee they can give you a cup of their house blend which is a mix of medium and dark roast for about $3.

They also sell a lot of snacks, drinkware, magnets and other random things.

No dining in but you can walk around and look at stuff while drinking.

Very clean and well preserved piece of old Little Italy. They have a great assortment of loose leaf teas and different coffee beans for purchase along with spices and other imported food items. The owner is very nice and friendly.
