“Glazed Bytes Coffee is selling itself short by being tucked inside a tiny, painfully forgettable mall in Brookline. The coffee itself? Not forgettable at all.

We ordered two Cloud Foam Lattes (I think that was the name), and that foam was ridiculous in the best way possible. It sits somewhere between an absurdly fluffy marshmallow and canned whipped cream, except smoother, creamier, and somehow lighter at the same time. I genuinely have no idea how they made foam feel “luxurious”, but there we are.

The coffee underneath actually held its own too. Strong flavour, unique profile, not just another Instagram café trying to survive off aesthetics and oat milk. Properly good coffee.

Honestly, the mall needs them more than they need the mall. Places like this drive foot traffic way harder than another random clothing shop nobody remembers walking into. More food spots. More cafés. More reasons for people to actually stay there.

Really good spot. Hidden gem energy.“

“The type of breakfast sandwich that really gets me out of bed on a weekend. Would love for them to open a location in back bay (please) but I'm willing to traverse multiple blocks for this. It can get super busy but I ordered online ahead of time. No seating but could easily sit on a stoop or the curb or a bench nearby because it's in a cute neighborhood too. The Fancy sandwich is a top 2 contender for my favorite breakfast sandwiches in Boston“

“We ate at bom dough when we visited my grandson who lives on Cambridge Street . Food was delicious and unique. Would love to send him a gift card , and would also eat there again if we visit him.“

“super friendly!! helpful in selecting coffee and grinds!!“

“Fantastic breakfast! Best in Boston hands down.“

“The Honey Hybrid coffee is DELICIOUS!!“

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“

“Nice place to grabe something and go! They place itself is kind of small, so I wouldn't count on getting a seat. The staff is chill and friendly. We got the Feta and Cheese, Pepper Biscuit with sausage, and ice cortado with oat milk, and a mocha with maple brown sugar. The food was good, and the coffee was pretty soild. Kinda pricey though.“

“Stopped in Friday with my kids after school and everyone was beyond kind and the donuts were delicious!!!“

“Great sandwiches, coffee drinks and a welcoming environment.“

“We went here because is was apparently ranked one of the top 20 bakeries in the US. It is on par with other local bakeries and I'm not sure why this one ranked any higher since we got at least 5 pasties to sample plus the baguette and everything was fine but not out of this world. I actually prefer the pasties at Salt. It's also incredibly cramped inside so just be prepared to grab and go.“

“Been here a couple times now and it's a necessary stop on the way to the library (where they have an in-house cafe too!). Drinks are delightful and fun and not too sweet. There really isn't any seating so it's mostly a take-out spot but the library has outdoor seating :)“

“Phin has quickly become one of my favorite coffee places in Boston.“

“Truly such a hidden gem by Porter Square! We got three different crepes to try, the Second Breakfast, the House Special, and the Classic, and they were all truly delicious. We loved the homey, charming vibe inside and the staff was so friendly. Will definitely be back!“

“Great food and coffee and tea! Friendly staff! Beautiful atmosphere with lots of light and pleasing design.“

“Nice cocktails and next to Mike’s Pastry“

“Great New Years Eve dinner! Food was great. Staff was amazing. Will be back again!“

“My husband and I had the cornbread, raspberry currant muffin, cold brew flight, carnitas taco, elote taco, and avocado tostado. All of it was amazing and affordable!!“

“I had a wonderful time here. The atmosphere was calm and cozy, and it was nice and cool inside, making it the perfect place to relax. The staff members were also incredibly friendly. I was so touched that they served a piece of Turkish delight with my Turkish coffee—what a thoughtful touch! Thank you for such a great experience!“

“Stopped in on a whim and grabbed a coffee and spinach pastry. Both were great!

The best part of the experience was the staff. They were very busy but still friendly and smiling. The man who took my order was very, very kind and made my day.

Wonderful, local coffee shop!“

“I love this place so much. I live in PA, have a husband and children, and still contemplate leaving them for the day to drive to Bakey and pick up a boatload of baked good. It’s that good. Please please please consider coming to the Lehigh valley!!“

“I had a long layover, and they were kind enough to let me stay in their shop for a long chunk of it. The food/drinks were incredibly good, and the service was incredible. The owner specifically is a force of nature. Incredible business all around!“

“I love starting my day here - great food and a welcoming vibe every time.“

“Was here for the first time today and found this place to be the best of coffee shops in the area. I previously worked in a coffee shop which unfortunately closed during covid. It was known for its excellent coffee and pastries. Miss it and this is the only place I've visited that is just as good. I highly recommend people to check it out. Also, very friendly staff. I believe I was waited on by the owner.“

“Excellent customer service, food, and coffee flavors! I come here every week on lunch break, could not recommend more.“

“Im always in search of a good coffee place to go to before work, one of the best things for me is that they open at 05:30 am. Food and Pastries are also good, and the croissants highly compete with local French Morocan and Colombian Pastries in the area.“

“The donuts are amazing but this review is for Ruben, the manager at the Rt 1 location. I had to travel for business today and it happens to also be my son’s 15th birthday. Because my son has celiac disease, options for baked goods is limited, especially when your plane lands at 6:30pm on the big day and gluten free options aren’t known to last long once baked. Unfortunately, living in Southern New Hampshire, delivery via UberEats or GrubHub wasn’t an option But, being a father himself, Ruben kindly offered to deliver them personally after work. This man went above and beyond, first driving home to pick up his kids. You see, his wife needed to get to her job so he brought his kids along for the adventure. In addition, he refused all forms of tipping despite my repeated insistence. He explained that he hopes someone would do the same for his kids if he was in my position and, as the manager, he felt compelled to make it happen. Ruben, you’re an angel, one in a million, an amazing human! I hope you receive back the blessing you bestowed on me and my son 10-fold! Thank you isn’t enough. To those reading this, please leave an extra big tip for Ruben next time you stop in. I sure will be.“

“Honey cinnamon iced coffee + cherry-ginger scone is my favorite treat breakfast when i’m in the north end for doctors appointments!“

“This place is the absolute best. I come here weekly with friends and could talk about why I love it all day. Highly, highly recommend. Some highlights:
-incredibly friendly staff who make you feel comfortable and at home
-delicious food and beverages, with fun monthly/seasonal specials and excellent vegan friendly options
-impeccable cozy vibes. Just perfect for a relaxing morning
-often bring other friends and visitors here, who all love it too“

“Lovely spot, thoroughly enjoyed my fish & chips, the DJ was also great!“

“I went back — and although my first time around ordering an ube matcha was very mediocre, i loved ther banana saigonese latte, banana matcha, and bbq chicken banh mi.

the latte was decadent, creamy, and had the right amount of banana flavor. the banana matcha had that deep matcha taste while complementing well with the banana cream. the banh mi came in a large portion, and was flavorful with clean flavors.

i will say, two years ago i got the ube matcha latte, and although it looked pretty, it was relatively bland and I didn’t get much of a matcha or ube flavor. the drink then also wasn’t smooth, with lots of little chunky bits inside. perhaps they fired that barista, or got a better hold of quality control.

also a very cute study / work space with wifi and outlets!“

“Highly recommend stopping by Wicked Cafe in Somerville! Coffee ☕️, tea 🫖 , food 🍲 and hospitality are top notch! Mike was fantastic! 🤩👍🏽“

“I expected a bit more from Central Perk, but there really wasn’t anything special about it. The coffee was very basic, and the pastries were simple both in flavor and variety. It’s a nice spot for a photo, but not somewhere I’d keep coming back to.“

“Amazing coffee and food! Not super sweet like other shops and the coffee is flavorful! Great friendly service!“

“An awesome place. I went there for a movie night and tried their beer, their lager was really good. I stopped by again today just to pick up my credit card and was pleasantly surprised to see that in the morning they serve coffee and have breakfast options as well.“

“Amazing service!!! Great crepes!!! Tasty drinks :)“

“Kicco coffee was a little hard to find but extremely worth it. Ordered some fresh bombolino (italian donuts) you can pick how you want it filled and it’s made fresh to order. We got the coffee cream and salted caramel both topped with chocolate. Safe to say we inhaled both. The coffee cream was so smooth and tasty I should’ve got a cup of it too. We ordered specialty lattes. The vanilla chocolate cream puff with an actual chocolate covered cream puff inside & the cannoli latte. The cannoli latte was topped with chocolate chip cannoli cream and a piece of cannoli shell. Both lattes were incredibly good. The fun part about this place is you can choose your espresso as well! The kicco blend was great inside the cannoli latte tons of flavor yet strong and bold espresso. Staff was super friendly. Would recommend“

“I don’t say this lightly — but Koreamomma just ruined all desserts for me

I’ve had a lot of cheesecakes, but this? This is next level. The kind of dessert that surprises you the first time and still amazes you every single time after.“

“We had our wedding cake designed and baked at Luna's Bakery and we HIGHLY recommend. They executed our vision beautifully and were a pleasure to work with. The cake was delivered on time and without any issue, the team is quick to respond, and our guests could not stop talking about the brigadeiro flavor. We had a three tier cake with a vintage design. Stop by Luna's Bakery to try all their delicious flavors and get a coffee while you're there. We can't wait for our first anniversary to have our top tier!!“

“Toasted flats is excellent. I love their food, smoothies, and fresh pressed juices. If you’re looking healthy yet filling and delicious breakfast/brunch/lunch, do try toasted flats! All time favourite is the Bon dia flat and the berry smoothie.“

“Service is excellent and my salmon was perfect. Apps are good but smaller in size. Beer is cold. I would recommend you visit.“
