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

“Cute place and yummy baked goods as well as sandwiches and salads for lunch!“

“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.“

“This was our third time here, and each time is even better than the last. I love pour overs and love that they have so many options and consistently do it well. My favorite coffee shop in MA. I didn’t think to take a photo until the end, but we had two pour overs, two of the milk breads and an iced latte to go. All perfect!“

“Had such a lovely time at Cafe Matchai with my friends! The strawberry matcha was absolutely delicious creamy, refreshing The cozy ambience made it even better, and it was the perfect place to relax and spend quality time together. Definitely coming back! 🍓“

“Affordable lunch options. Coffee has been hit or miss for me—they could probably do with some more espresso machine training with newer staff members and/or dialing in. My last two lattes have been great, though! I’m hoping that’s a sign of more consistently good espresso to come :)“

“Great brunch and coffee spot with lrge open space and great coffee shop vibe. The scrambled eggs and shakshuka were excellent. The prices are not low but the quality is high. Not necessarily a daily pastry and coffee place but definitely an occasional indulgence. There seemed to be a lot of “squatters” enjoying the vibe while tapping away on their laptops though they didnt appear to be the best customers. Pastries were great.“

“Really loved this little spot! The drink was really good, and the onigiri was fresh and delicious. The staff were also so nice, friendly, and helpful, which made the experience even better. 🥹🍙

I really loved the cozy, homey Japanese vibe—it almost felt like I was in Japan! 🇯🇵 I’d definitely come back again to try their Japanese pork katsu curry. Can’t wait! 😋“

“Ham and cheese croissants Raspberry pastries Nice, friendly ambience for a coffee Family owned business“

“Awesome place for a mocha latte and breakfast burrito.“

“Honestly I love Fixe. Yes there is a chance that the owner will go on a tirade at you for asking a basic question. As someone who loves drama, I hope to witness one of these encounters every time I visit and am often rewarded. In all seriousness, the coffee and espresso are very good though“
