I went here with a friend and the experience was pretty good! We were originally trying to find a café to eat at, but most of the spots were full with lines outside! So, we ended up here. It is a very narrow café with some small tables to the left and stools with long table thing on the right. The atmosphere was very cozy, though I wished there was jazz music playing in the background.We ordered the BALT and roasted chicken sandwich (the grilled one). My friend said their sandwich was good! Mines was also good, BUT a bit difficult to eat. It was kind of a monster of a sandwich to finish, though delicious. The sandwich was a bit more charred than my liking, but the charr adds flavor…I think… It was pretty cool to see the sandwiches served in baskets! I haven’t seen anything like it!For dessert my friend got the eclair and I got the apple caramel bread pudding. My friend said the eclair was good, but wished it was less firm/hard. The bread pudding was pretty good! It’s not too sweet (which I like). But, it didn’t pair too well with my chicken sandwich. This is a personal thing, but I loved that the eclair had a long plate that went along with it! The bread pudding came on a regular wide plate, nice plate!Overall, a pretty good café! A lot of people were there doing work or studying, so it’s a good calm place if you want to get some work done here.

I had a breakfast here: reasonable price, good choice of pastry, freshed brewed coffee, cozy ambience: a perfect mix for energizing your day.

Delicious craft lattes. Espresso is strong and flavorful. Staff isn’t exceptionally welcoming, but it is usually busy, so I understand the rush.Beverages are always a 10/10, but I don’t recommend the SEG breakfast sandwich. The egg to cheese and sausage ratio was way off, and it was a little soggy.

I have been going to this thinking cup for a while, the coffee and service are always great. I order a cold brew with no ice. Today when I ordered my usual large cold brew, they proceeded to tell me that because I don’t take ice in my drink, they are now downsizing the cup. So I’m paying for a large and getting a medium coffee. We are already paying an insane amount for coffee these days and because you have to put an additional ounce in the cup due to no ice, you’re now going to downsize my drink. Holy moly, can you get any cheaper? There are a million local coffee places in Boston, I can go elsewhere where other spots don’t do that.

Definitely don’t suggest staying her long. My coffee and bagel was pretty good and well priced but my goodness was this place unsettling. This was my second visit. There was some type of generator that was just loud as heck. Towards the end of my stay, they started to play music which added even more to the noise.I came here wanting to study/work but there’s no wifi nor outlets (I forgot to consult Google Maps and assumed a cafe would have wifi and outlets).Nothing food wise really stands out. It’s okay if you just want something basic.

A great little coffee spot in Boston! The honey vanilla cinnamon latte was so good and the bacon quiche was delicious!

Solid local coffee shop with intimate interior, great pastry and sweets selection. Good vibe.

Very nice and quiet place to work and have a coffee break. Pastries are delicious. Bery tasty banana bread. No wifi unfortunately. You can hijack other wifis from the tables in the very front right at the street though. Still recommended ?

Really homey place with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. Their coffee and grilled cheeses are excellent, but their pastries are not as good as the neighboring bakeries.

I'm pretty sure this was THE most exceptional cup of coffee I've ever had. It was an ice latte with extra foam I believe with almond milk. They had dark chocolate cocoa that I spilled on top...it was incredible!!!
