This was a great coffee spot, with incredible sandwiches, tasty coffee and fresh croissants! The staff was polite, patient and accommodating. Unfortunately, they have permanently closed. Please post this official notice at your door/website to let your loyal customers know what's happened.

Coffee's pretty good, and so is the matcha. Service is gentle and quick. It can get a bit noicy, however.5/5.

Bourbon is a great cafe for studying and working: it is spacious, has fairly good coffee, and nice decor / ambience. I have not visited this coffee shop since COVID started, but will be sure to return once things become safer.

Grilled cheese and smoothie were so good! Not pricey either!! Totally recommend!

Best coffee and cozy Cafe near Porter Square! Plenty of room to social distancing as well. Friendly staff and good food too.

The spice in the chai latte has an edge to it.

Free wifi, many outlets, and a really good Prince-inspired lemonade. They're not unusually good for a coffee shop, but they are right on my way to do laundry, so I occasionally stop for a drink (and cash) which makes that whole ordeal a little more fun. What I really enjoy is the space. When I have time (and no covid restrictions) I love to sit inside—they have great seating options and it's easy to focus on work or a book. Bourbon's been good to me!

The location is convenient and the service is great.
Great place to work or relax. Their coffees and teas are really nice as well as their pastries and smoothies.Make sure to check out Tokai, the Japanese Souvenir shop, while you're here.

Small cafe located in the Lesley student center, and right by the Porter T stop, Bourbon is a good place to grab coffee when you're waiting in line for one of the food places, want to do work in the area, or are waiting for the commuter rail that comes every hour because you just missed the previous one. It can get crowded and be difficult to find a seat on the weekends, though. My favorite to get there is their chai latte. It has a good combination of spices and is the right amount of sweetness. It errs a bit on the pricy side, but if you get a medium or a large then the deal is better. They're very efficient with churning out the drinks: last time I went, I got mine almost immediately after I ordered. Overall, does the job: decent chai latte, space to do work, and free wifi. Their wifi password is by the register, by the way. When I asked one of the baristas, he wouldn't give me the password directly, just told me to go read the sign. Which was an interaction that cost them a star.

Burnt wrap and terrible service attitude. Especially the lady with glasses. Shen mad the wrap and throw it in front of me. I also saw many review said the serevice attitude is really bad. The owner should do something about it.

I would have rated this place higher ... I do generally like it; however, this morning was the first time I've gone here and felt like my very existence was an imposition on the staff. I mean, I know I interrupted a staff conversation with my impertinent appearance at the cash register, but sheesh. Brisk and business-like is okay, but "thank you" goes a long way, and I didn't even get that.

This is open to the public almost all the time, but for graduation and the night/day following admission required a ticket or student id. Once again, there were people who didn't think the rules applied to them and then when they weren't allowed in, there was an unpleasant conversation.
