The Bittersweet Shoppe on Newbury

We stopped in for a late afternoon snack and got a pretzel, mini donuts, iced coffee, and a root beer float. Loved it all! I can’t wait to come back tomorrow for breakfast!

Delicious food. Got the raspberry chocolate specialty ice coffee and it was one of the best coffees I’ve had. Also got tomato basil balsamic grilled cheese with tomato soup and it was the best grilled cheese in my whole life and I am a grilled cheese GIRL. So definitely recommend. Not a lot of seating and can get busy. Other coffee in the photo was cold brew French vanilla and my friend said it was good. You cannot substitute the side of chips with the tomato soup (which is fine) so that’s a separate charge. Friend also got spinich and feta bites , mini donuts, caramel toffee coffee, egg frittata. Everything was good! Only thing was the caramel toffee was not as sweet as she expected. Wonderful!

Sizes are small, but the atmosphere is great and the drinks and food are good. Only complaint is that the only inside seating is more suitable for people taller than my extra short self, but that's mostly a me thing. The barista was very polite and efficient, service was fast even with a line of people and only her working the register, making drinks and bringing people coffee and food to the patio.

Always 5 stars for BSB!

Charming and delicious coffee shop. Not only great coffee but also delicious food. The egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant can't be beat!

great coffee, liked it 😊

Ordered a black tea here and was stunned to see it was $5. I should've walked out, but I didn't.

They didn't have wifi, which I understand to some degree, but to charge $5 for a tea and not even offer wifi was very irritating

What a cute little cafe!! I randomly walked into this cafe and so glad that I did. Didn't look at the menu or the reviews, just walked in. Service is really quick and the barista was really kind to all the customers.

I got the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Latte and Spinach and Feta Croissant. The croissant was warm, flaky and delicious. The latte was on the sweeter side but still delicious. From the looks of it, seems like all the syrups are house-made.

I would definitely come back and maybe try the strawberry shortcake flavored coffee.

Stopped in for a quick cappuccino and it was perfect. This is the coziest cafe with a patio and lovely baked goods.

Bittersweet Shoppe is definitely my favorite cafe in Back Bay! Staff is super nice and the atmosphere is cute, great outdoor space too right on Newbury St. Their breakfast sandwiches are delicious (I like to sub the croissant with an English muffin) and come with a side of fruit, perfect for a little breakfast picnic. Their grilled cheese sandwiches are perfectly cooked and taste amazing. Their banana cream pie and coconut cream pie overnight oats are both fantastic and I can’t wait to keep trying more from their menu. So happy to have found this local small business!!
