“Previously known as Rite Tea & Espresso. They have amazing specialty drinks. I'm swooning over the smoked maple latte and black sesame latte. Cute small place (they expanded a bit compared to before) and the people there are super friendly. It's also inside the Charles River Speedway, which is a nice fun open area in the summer“

“This place has all the advantages of the Caffe Nero that it used to be without any of the disadvantages. In other word's it's spacious, has a variety of furniture and seating options (equally good spot for solo laptop work, relaxed book time, group meeting), lots of outlets, nice big windows, a great menu with reasonable price point. Compared to before the business turned over the coffee is better (IMO) and cheaper and the place no longer feels depressing in that way that carbon copy coffee franchises do. The people who work here are so nice and there is always a place to sit! In fact it's too easy to find a spot—please visit Cafe Lava and Bento and support this business so that we can keep them around.“

“Best coffe joint in allston-brighton area. Great staff, recently renovated with spacious seating featuring hand-painted tables by famous local artist, Jordan Piantedosi. Excellent pastries, bagels, fresh food, cold brew, seasonal beverages. Restrooms and ample parking. Gets pretty busy weekend mornings. Good brunch spot or for work/meetings. Never too loud. Enjoy!“

“Best butterbeer latte in the world!“

“This is a good Starbucks. Nice staff here. It would be good if there was more sitting space in the upholstered chairs as there are in the corner. But they only have so much space.“

“I ordered a large latte but only about like more than half of the cup was filled. It was kind of a bummer but the coffee was still nice and for a coffee place inside a grocery store it was good. I would still walk a little further to a real coffee shop next time but since it was snowing this did the trick.“

“Fenway location , fresh and the best customer service !“

“Feels weird to give a Dunkin location a google review 😆 But, this one deserves it. They are open at 5am every day and are one of the ONLY DD locations ever that never messes up orders. It’s also surprisingly nice inside! I can personally say of hundreds of Dunkies this is the best location I’ve ever been to, and I’m grateful to have it close to home.“

“The food is super fresh! I had the “The dirty monkey” smoothie…..the same! Fresh and delicious. Definitely a must try!“
