Absolutely love this place! I work in the area, and visit at least weekly, usually more. Small seating area, but welcoming and cozy. It is also attached to the bookstore with more seats throughout. It’s the perfect place to grab some great coffee and treats and walk around the harbor or browse some books. Staff are always friendly with great recommendations.

The name of this cafe is not reflected on the board outside, so it’s difficult to find. Rest care is beautiful

Travelmug combines coffee and creativity in a really unique way, and is a place I've loved for years! From the carts they'd bike around the neighborhood to this beautiful brick & mortar location, they have absolutely amazing coffee! Grab a book next door at Porter Square Books and settle in for a coffee (or a flight) (or a BUCKET). Love!

Place was very cute, service was nice, coffee was trash. Went for the viral coffee bucket and they sold out! But happy I couldn't get it because I threw out the watery coffee anyways

Didn't appreciate having to make a reservation just to be told tables are first come first serve. So you have to spend $25 on a flight of coffee and then stand to hold it. The flight is also already pre determined for you, you dont get to choose. Better off saving the money and going somewhere you feel comfortable. Place is crammed. Only like 6 tables. Very small and just a Cafe inside a bookstore. Definitely not worth it. Won't be returning. Photos included.

Thai tea latte didn’t have much flavor :(

I went for the $25 seasonal coffee flight. Three of the flight beverages were all cream, except for the one that was cider. The first three were unflavored cream and no espresso flavor. Would not return. The flight was also difficult to carry. They were also having the HVAC stuff going on so it was awkward to wait inside but that’s not their fault. I did not finish any of the drinks and didn’t bother to mention it. Fortunately there’s a lot of other great coffee places to go.

Came in on a Tuesday before noon and was pleased to find this sunny little spot inside the bookstore. There were a few people sitting around but otherwise there was no line. My sister and I ordered an iced chai latte and an iced blood orange hibiscus tea.
We found a seat by the corner and waited for our drinks. It was a little hard to hear over the music and the other patrons talking so after about five minutes I went back to the counter to check on our drinks just in case we missed them calling out our order. Neither of our drinks were ready at that point so I waited a few more minutes for them to make the chai. When it was finally done they asked if I had gotten the iced tea yet, which I obviously hadn't, so they quickly got it ready for me.
I was confused by the delay, since it took almost ten minutes to prepare a single chai latte. Definitely a cute spot if you want a treat after book shopping, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
I moved out of Boston a few years ago and used to stop at Travelmug when they were just a coffee cart in Eastie. Upon a recent visit back to Boston, I noticed they now have a full cafe in a bookstore. It’s such a big, bright, and creative space. The matcha with brown sugar cold foam was delicious and sticker on the cup so cute!

Terrible customer service and unclear advertisement.
My friends and I trudged through the rain to sample their penny board flight we had seen on social media. When we went up to order it, the person behind the counter rudely let us know that we needed advanced reservations to order the flight. When my friend asked “and how advanced do we need to book it… do you have any reservations left today?” The lady gave us the dirtiest look, rolled her eyes and said it would take something like 20+ hours of advanced notice.
This was not advertised in their store or on their social media page. When we visited their Instagram, there was a booking page, but again it wasn’t marketed that way in the video. Just wanted to give everyone else a heads up to make advanced arrangements.
Would not return!

Charming café connected to a bookstore, an ideal spot for working or studying. They offer a small selection of pastries and bagels, along with a wide variety of teas and coffees. One standout feature is their monthly coffee flights, which highlight new and unique flavors. You can also order individual flavors, which is a nice flexible option.
I tried the pandan coconut latte, and my friend had the cinnamon latte. She also ordered a bagel—while it wasn’t her favorite and she found the cream cheese portion a bit modest, the overall coffee experience definitely felt worth the visit. When dining in, drinks are served in actual glassware, which adds a charming and elevated touch.
Overall, a warm and inviting spot nestled within the Seaport.

I drove over 45 minutes to come to get one of their specialty coffees I have been super excited to try. I arrived 30 minutes before closing and the refused to make anything that wasn’t iced coffee or tea that was already made. Horrible customer service to close your machines 30 minutes before closing. I used to be such a fan of them in eastie but clearly since moving to the seaport the nuce small business is no longer.

Great spot for this local gem. We miss the cart in Eastie but it's fun to hop on the boat and visit the seaport. Extra points that it's hosted in a book store!
