One of the best coffee shops in the greater Boston area. Nice espresso, tasty food. It's also cool to have a morning coffee at a bar counter!

Cafe in the AM and brewery in the PM. During the day, the back taproom is a quiet working/studying space, which is amazing. Lots of seats to spread out and many people were working on laptops when we were there, but also many people having conversations. It wasn't too loud. We got breakfast burritos, flavorful drip coffee, and a delicious almond milk latte. Didn't get to try the cookies but they looked amazing. The food was superb and the staff are awesome! Easy spot to bike to.

First discovered Pepita during their Lofi Saturdays - super chill environment with great drinks, fantastic food, and super friendly service. Strong wifi if you plan to do work here, and they have stacks of boardgames if you plan not to work lol. Highly recommend!

This place has some of the best coffee in the area. I love their cappuccino and their double chocolate mocha pictured. The staff are friendly. There are a lot of students who bring laptops and study there.

A bustling local café by day and an energetic brewery by night, Pepita Coffee offers a great array of drinks and light eats.During the past few weeks, Pepita Coffee has been one of my go-to spots for coffee and sandwiches. At first glance, the place looks like a secret local gem, but despite its ample seating, encompassing bar stools and comfortable couches, snagging a spot can be a challenge.From their drinks, I really enjoyed their lattes. Both the Earl Grey Latte and the Matcha Latte were smooth, with their bitterness toned down without being overly sweet.Where Pepita really excels is in food. All the sandwiches I tried were spot on with flavors. On the avocado toast, they used large flakes of salt and a pinch of chili powder to enhance the umami of the avocado, and pickled onions and a splash of lime juice to give an extra tang. Served chill, the roasted portobello & caramelized onion sandwich had a satisfying sweetness and smokiness combo that was further enhanced with their special sauce. The breakfast croissant sandwich, complete with a spicy kick from banana peppers, was another great treat.If you’re looking for flavorful light meals and good drinks in a lively atmosphere, I highly recommend checking them out.

definitely a cool spot and the staff is kind! I often feel like like the shots are under extracted and lean bitter. milk temp and texture could be a bit more precise as well. coffee wasn’t called out and we didn’t have our name taken with the order so it was unclear when they were done. I understand beer is mostly their thing though. totally better than any chain coffee but not third wave coffee quality by any means. overall love local and rather support pepita over any other coffee spot in the central area.

PRO TIP: Get there early for a seat of your choice.Overall, solid spot. Don't be nervous if you see a lot of brewing equipment. You're in the right place! Cafe in the morn and pub when the sun goes down.First off - polite staff and solid drinks. I really enjoyed their seasonal options and would recommend it others that a tinge of creative drinks.Ambiance is great. Good vibes. You can definitely tell it's bar at night which gives you room to enjoy some personal space. There are also some communal spaces. If you are planning to stay there for a while with an electronic that needs to be charged, you'll more likely to find an electrical outlet away from the high-stool areas. They tend to be around the wooden tables or the separated room with unique furniture.Bathroom is also available down a little alley past the ordering area. Have fun!

A combo between a cafe and a bar, it is a great space to take friends or do some work solo. Variety of high top seating, table seating, benches, and standing room.They have some seasonal drinks in addition to their regular menu. Expect it to be crowded when you go and prepare to stand around for a little before you snatch a seat for yourself.

Very nice ambiance. They have a diversity of drinks, pastries, and hot breakfast items. It is a little pricy but items like the banana bread and the passion fruit dessert were very good. The staff were welcoming and quick. Would come again.
