“Fig is the best! Their takeout window basically got me through the pandemic, and I feel very lucky that this is my local. As a certified scone-hater, their blueberry scone is the best I've ever had. I recommend their lattes, smoothies, breakfast sandwiches (the cheddar cheese is SHARP), and chia pudding. Their lunch sandwiches are also great. 10/10 for staff, vibes, food, and coffee.“

“Fantastic breakfast! Best in Boston hands down.“

“Such a cute spot in the cutest neighborhood! I just moved to Bay Village and have been dying to try this place. It was very packed on a beautiful Sunday morning, so my boyfriend and I decided to place an online order and walk around until it was ready. It took about 30 mins in total. We got the breakfast burrito with chorizo and the Baller breakfast sandwich and split. Both were delicious! The tortilla was awesome as was the homemade English muffin. You can really tell everything was made with high quality ingredients and love. I will absolutely be back to try more of their offerings!“

“Got recommended a flat white after drinking cappuccinos for the last 5 years, and haven’t gone back - thank you, knowledgeable baristas :) Best local coffee shop there is.“

“Thank you for GREAT customer service and making me feel welcome. The cafe is immaculate and the food and drink was delicious! My first Iced Matcha!!! Well worth the visit from SW France 🇺🇸🇫🇷 Great merchandise and appreciated the WiFi....Á bientôt!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Solid ground cafe has one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. My son has frequent inpatient stays at Childrens. This is the perfect quick walk to get a great breakfast and coffee.“

“AMAZING FOOD!! REALLY AMAZING!! A must visit if you're in Boston. Great vibe..just a fantastic all round wee place! Visiting from Scotland :-D“

“My first time here, and the first thing I noticed was how cute and inviting the space is! The food and drinks were sooo delicious. 😋 I had the Bom Dia breakfast sandwich, while my friend ordered the Greek breakfast sandwich. We also tried a couple of iced coffees and the gut-healing juice, everything was amazing! The staff were also very friendly. I’ll be back!“

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

“My favorite part of Cicada is how it suddenly feels you are so far away from Cambridge. The combination of being so kindly met by the staff and to have food that is so exquisitely executed creates a joyful atmosphere where our group of 3 had an incredible experience. Will always come back!“

“Staff are nice and have good service“

“we were visiting Boston for a few days and were staying close to Michette. We would go there every morning for breakfast and it was such a beautiful discovery. The vegan guava roll and focaccia… so so delicious! The vegan pastries made by Michette were the best ones I had so far. Thank you to the friendly and welcoming staff!“

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

“Nice cocktails and next to Mike’s Pastry“

“I absolutely LOVE this place. We have so many brunch options in the area, but THIS is the right choice remember I said it. The mini donuts are a dream. I literally dreamt about them 🤣 Brussel sprouts are mouth watering & the apple cinnamon pancakes are out of this world! The breakfast sandwich is on a cheddar biscuit… nuff said! The service was so outstanding I didn’t have to ask for anything! They made me feel like I was family 💜 I will be back for dinner, which is just as great as brunch but for brunch look no further! The decor is something special as well. I posted a few pics but please go check it out for yourself. You won’t regret it! PS they love my dog. Spoiled her the entire time! lol 💜“

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

“I visited this shop for the first time today, and the atmosphere was both cozy and tidy! The staff were incredibly friendly. The owner, in particular, was exceptionally helpful—he gave me all the pens in the shop for free, helping me solve a major work problem! He said he didn't need any thanks from me! I was truly deeply moved.“

“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!“

“Great coffee, and their seasonal drinks are always creative and delicious. I've been going here for years, it's one of the best around.

This location was excellent under its 2023 era management. Service has slipped since then, with less care from the baristas taking orders and making drinks, but it's still a great cafe overall.

Bonus points: No upcharge for non-dairy milk.
No penalty for being lactose intolerant or plant-based, which is how it should be everywhere.“

“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!!“

“There is a reason there is a line at this place. Their lattes / matcha are wonderful. Strawberry Matcha with real strawberries. Quality ingredients, made to perfect proportions for a great beverages. Will update when I try their baked goods.“

“Cake order review only: easy to inquire about a cake online. Easy payment once we discussed the vision of the cake. And easy pickup. BEAUTIFUL CAKE. The cake was $90 for a heart shaped 2 layer cake with vintage piping, vegan vanilla with vegan vanilla buttercream and strawberry jam filling. I didn’t get the filling but was refunded immediately and the person handling the situation was so nice. I had asked why the darker icing tasted to chemically and they informed that the more they use the dye the more it tastes like it. So I would just skip that completely. Get the lighter frostings. Because like I said these are beautiful cakes and the cake itself is a good texture and flavor as a vegan cake.“

“Amazing Staff, amazing food !!! If You’re in Harvard Sq. don’t miss out!“

“We ordered a vegan half sheet almond cake from Luna’s—it was TERRIFIC. It joined several other cakes at a family gathering, and everyone loved it.

I found it easy to communicate with the bakery manager, and that she had some terrific ideas for flavors. I would absolutely order from them again. Pickup was super easy, too!“

“Casual cafe that sells high quality french/ Mediterranean inspired pastries and entrees. Love the shakshuka, its a must have!!! Brownies and pistachio tart was yummy. There's so many of them in Boston, you can pretty much find it no matter where u are.“

“Just had a great experience at the check out counter with a man that was 100% about customer service. I could just tell he was totally invested in his job and when they didn’t have the variation of coffee I wanted, I still wanted to give the man a tip, but he surprised me further by covering my drink for free because they couldn’t quite make what I wanted. Incredible, we need more people like this guy and the team at Central Perk.“
