Great cafe, very chill atmosphere. the sounds of soft contemporary jazz and the smell of espresso, make for a relaxing winter morning. this particular cafe is also directly next to the Porter. Square train stop. So it is very accessible, given your morning commute.

Basic coffee shop with standard fare. I was not busy and I walked up to the cashier to ask a quick question and she snapped at me that I need to get in line to order. I ordered a breakfast roll and the top of the bun was so hard I did not eat it. The rest of it was tasty. There is only street parking.

This might be the most disappointing Nero I’ve visited. My first experience was at the Copley location, which left a great impression—especially with the freshness and quality of their food. Unfortunately, this branch falls short.
There was a male staff seemed indifferent and unwelcoming, and the BLT sandwich I ordered felt hastily thrown together. The lettuce was wilted and not fresh, which was quite disappointing. Additionally, they appeared to lack patience...
