“Squash soup, with a sandwich my favorite lunch, even dinner! Tastes so delicious, clean flavors!! Can’t go wrong for take out to stay with healthy eating. Salads fabulous also.“

“I NEVER write reviews but Sasha at Portland Pottery warrants one. She is super knowledgable and helpful in problem solving kiln issues. She saved my sanity and 200 pieces of student work, phew! I hope the owners of this company know how incredible she is, thank you, thank you Sasha :)“

“I’m a huge bubble tea drinker and I love to try all different kinds of places. Let me tell you, Sweet Sip did not disappoint. While there I tried three drinks: the Assam black tea with honey boba, the rose milk tea (no topping), and the Vietnamese iced coffee. All three were delicious. The Assam was a great milk tea for anyone who likes it simple and nostalgic. Nice and sweet, but not too sweet. The rose milk tea was fragrant and delicious as well. In terms of the boba, they use honey boba, which is a nice choice; this gives them a good taste, which adds nicely to the teas. The Vietnamese iced coffee was also a nice surprise. If you’ve ever had the real deal form a Vietnamese restaurant, then you would know that the coffee flavor can be strong and extra bitter. For someone who loves coffee, but is a wimp with the bitterness, this iced coffee was just the right balance. It gets even better as your ice melts. Lastly. I tried some of their Hong Kong cakes, specifically the pandan flavored cake, and the mochi filling. It was heavenly… Crisp, sweet, and flavorful. I look forward to trying the other flavors. I don’t go to Boston too often, but I would definitely come back to try more drinks at Sweet Sip the next time I’m visiting.“

“Excellent food and very proffesional service. The best Catering company around.“

“I was back in Adams Village today (my old neighborhood) and as I crossed Gallivan Blvd, my 4 year old said “mummy!!!!!!! look at the smiley faced balloons!!!” I pulled over and asked the woman at the register if she would be willing to sell me one of the balloons with my coffee order. She immediately cut one off and gave it to my little boy. It made his day, and the wonderful banana hazelnut coffee made mine. ❤️“

“Great tapas / quite filling“

“Went there for a corporate holiday gathering. The staff were terrific and it was such a fun, interesting chance to learn, laugh and connect with colleagues. Staff are so attentive, kind and patient. A wonderful place!“

“I had the Hot honey glazed chicken sandwich. It was the best vegan sandwich I’ve ever eaten and I’ve had a lot of vegan sandwiches.“

“Unique, delicious pastry. Best croissants and sourdough bread. Nice people. Can sit inside or outside.“

“If you’re looking for a place that’s clean, safe, and FUN to go highly recommend. Awesome food and drinks ($5 sandwiches during happy hour!), lovely outdoor patio dining, and there are still games available to play sanitized between people! So happy to come back here again and get the same great service.“

“10/10 HIGHLY Recommend Great Place!“

“We’ve visited several Tatte locations over the years and this one was just as enjoyable. The food is fresh and flavorful, with a menu that feels surprisingly Mediterranean-inspired for the U.S.

A great spot for breakfast or brunch, offering plenty of tasty options in a pleasant atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Back Bay. ☕🥐🍳“

“Amazing as always!! Staff and service wonderful.“

“I really enjoyed my sandwich as you can see, they did not have ketchup but the kind woman offered me salsa and surprisingly it went really well together! I highly recommend for a little gathering for friends, the music they played matched the aesthetic of the place. 1000/10“

“Guys your staff is so nice and kind.
All of the Latin staff is super friendly and they make the place feel very warm and collective.
Tulan makes the best matcha EVER. She puts a lot of effort in the process 🧘 and is the best front desk :)“

“Great people Great food thank you“

“Finally, got to try This place. They had soft Opening which was not to best. The ordering process was pretty smooth . The wait was not to long. We got the infamous Sho-Gun Matcha/Vanilla Soft Serve Mix With Edible 24K gold , Maiko Special (Parfait) Hojicha/Strawberry Mix Soft Serve and Matcha Latte Float. Everything was so rich in favor. The matcha favor is probably the best that I had so far. You can taste the quality of the soft serve. It's a bit pricy but worth every penny. Definitely, need to try them out“

“Coleen will immediately make you feel part of her community. We popped in for brunch on a recommendation and we're so happy we did. Small town community feel in the heart of Brookline. Excellent food, fair pricing, owner operated; and you can see she's well loved in the community. I will always come back here if I'm in the area looking for a bite to eat and a break.“

“Tried several Tatte and this one is special. Food is always perfect and if ever someone has taken my online order, the managers always assist and get is asap. Store is super clean and service is always special. I do like the small talk. Mary, Francesca Gm, Roselyn, Hector always know my order and drinks. Totally worth the daily trip.“

“It was amazing! So many games to choose from and the food is fantastic! The atmosphere is wonderful as well😊“

“The cappuccino and croissants are amazing. Very friendly staff who seem to always aim to please. Very quick and efficient service with a smile. Nice local cafe with a few bar stools to relax with your morning cuppa.“

“Great variety in fantastic tasting bubble teas and mochinuts!“

“Great foods! And nice have play keno“

“I frequent Cannonball Cafe for coffee and to switch up my WFH atmosphere. The pastries, lattes, iced coffees, and toasts that I have tried have all been delicious, and I always look forward to getting to spend the day at Cannonball when I choose to work from there. I love how the team at Cannonball is always thinking of new and fresh ideas when it comes to drinks and events, from unique lattes to farmers markets on Sundays and a beautiful new patio, they have been a great addition to the neighborhood and it's fun and exciting to watch them grow and develop. Where Cannonball really shined recently is when I called to place a large cookie order for our wedding welcome party. Rachel was happy to take on the order on short notice, and made some of THE MOST delicious cookies I have ever had (chocolate chip with sea salt, snickerdoodle, and sugar cookies with sprinkles.) Our guests loved them, and the 50 cookies that we ordered were gone by the end of the night (and we only had 35 guests!) I would highly recommend Cannonball for a quick coffee, a nice work day vibe, or to bring desserts to for your next party or event!“

“Whoever bakes their scones has a gift!“

“TEBRİKLER... GÜZEL İNSANLAR“

“Stopped by for coffee & sandwiches two weeks ago. Coffee was yummy & the sandwiches were fresh & delicious!!“

“Found the Seaport Cafe a short walk from the conference center. They are allergy friendly, the menu is clearly marked. Coffee is hot and left right at your table. The food was amazing! I had the 3 egg omelette and loved it. What a nice experience and so nice to get away from the crowds at the conference hotel!“

“Cafe 180 Serves coffee and fresh pastries with a smile. Excellent place to meet a colleague or friend. Highly Recommend!“

“The almond croissant is one of the best I’ve had, and the cheddar bomb is an elite breakfast sandwich. It was a little spicy, very cheesy and delicious.

I’d recommend ordering ahead as there will be a line and a wait, but it’s totally worth it!“

“Four Piece Suit is what makes it worth visiting! We have been following them since the 90s, when they were playing music in Tam O’Shanter pub in Brookline, MA. They gathered a huge crowd the day we saw them for the first time. We were fortunate to get in the pub because they were so famous.“

“Nice place best staff. Great place to handle your banking biz and sit and have a good cup of joe !!!!“

“Thank you for GREAT customer service and making me feel welcome. The cafe is immaculate and the food and drink was delicious! My first Iced Matcha!!! Well worth the visit from SW France 🇺🇸🇫🇷 Great merchandise and appreciated the WiFi....Á bientôt!“

“Best pour over coffee in Boston. Pack and his baristas deliver a great experience, top-notch service. You can tell there is a lot of love for what he does. This is a great place for conversation and meeting new people. Skip the laptop and treat yourself!“

“loved the chick pea fries❣“

“I was back in Adams Village today (my old neighborhood) and as I crossed Gallivan Blvd, my 4 year old said “mummy!!!!!!! look at the smiley faced balloons!!!” I pulled over and asked the woman at the register if she would be willing to sell me one of the balloons with my coffee order.

“Best bubble tea ☕️ cheese tea“

“Excellent local breakfast joint with solid coffee and prices that can't be beat. A great location for breakfast, brunch, a good omlette or breakfast sandwich for under $4. Great neighborhood staple. Very handi-avcessible, and nice owners.“

“I recently discovered Brewed Awakenings, and I am hooked! I visited the Cranston location. The staff was so friendly. The cafe was spotless, and Paul, the manager, is so warm, welcoming, has a stellar personality, and completely makes my morning. It's been tricky trying to find a solid cup of iced coffee that has all of the bells and whistles. I shared with Paul my favorite flavors, and he immediately whipped up the perfect cold concoction. It was my first time trying coldfoam! It is by far the best iced coffee I have ever had. Pictured is brewed Smores iced coffee with Oreo cold foam, crushed oreo cookies, and a smidgen of chocolate syrup. 10/10 recommend. I'm already looking forward to my morning cup.“

“Great place for breakfast! Kim is our favorite waitress there!! We absolutely love the breakfast food, and beverage menu…..Mimosas wink wink 😉 It’s our go to place for breakfast! Breakfast served with a smile, best way to start a day!“

“We love Sidewalk! The service is always awesome, the ladies treat us so well and make us feel at home everytime we come in. Would recommend any of the coffees with mocha in them (we get Salted Caramel and Milky way), breakfast sandwiches are solid and the pizza slices are so good.“

“amazing pastries!! nice people and very good coffee. I will be back!“

“Lucy and Jane Matcha is a pop-up with a storefront in the Seaport area, right outside of Snowport. They have 2 main types of matcha variety available as well as hojicha, and their menu lists what they recommend for their pairings.

The service was quick, the store is quite small so not many people can be in there at once, but the drinks came out fast.

We got the cloud matcha with the jane matcha powder. It was a little on the sweeter side, but we still enjoyed it. The matcha had a good ratio and good color, and overall was a good matcha.“

“This Tatte location has genuinely become one of my favorite spots in Boston, and I want to take a moment to share why.

First of all, the space itself is wonderful. Unlike some of the smaller, more cramped Tatte branches, this one is generously spread out — there's room to breathe, and finding a table is almost never a struggle. The interior ambiance is beautiful: I especially love the floor tiles, the natural light, and how warm the whole place feels. Around sunset, the light hits this place in the most gorgeous way — it almost feels cinematic. Highly recommend coming by in the late afternoon if you can.

But what really sets this branch apart is the staff. The people working here are genuinely warm, welcoming, and kind. They don't just take your order — they ask how your day is going, they smile, they engage. It's the kind of small human interaction that's becoming rare these days, and it honestly makes me feel good every time I walk in. I leave in a better mood than I arrived, and that says a lot.

The branch is also impeccably clean, and the attention to detail is obvious. Whether it's the management or the team culture here, something is being done right.

I usually go for a coffee and an almond croissant — which I absolutely adore. Maybe it's a placebo effect, but the pastries here genuinely taste fresher and better to me than at other locations. The products are probably the same chain-wide, but there's something about this branch that elevates the whole experience.

It's a little bit of a walk from my place, but I happily make the trip every time because it's worth it.

A huge thank you to all the staff and management here — you're doing something special. 5 stars without hesitation. See you again soon!“
