50 Best Coffee Shops near Mattapan

“It was about to snow and I decided to warm myself up with a Chi latte tea. Unfortunately the person taking my order was no familiar with that, thank goodness there was a colleague in the back who was able to explain what I wanted. Then I had to explain, I get mine with 2 pumps not 4 which is the expected amount for a large. I had to ask the lady in the back could the lady upfront understand and make my order, she replied, yes. I must say that the lady up front who didn't understand my order the first time around made me an exceptional latte, just how I wanted it.“

“I’ve been here a few times now and have always had a great time. It’s clean, quiet and because it’s at the mall, parking is never an issue. The coffee is delicious and smooth and it’s the best cappuccino I’ve had in Boston. Desserts are great too. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Honestly, zero complaints. I like coming here.“

Chocolate eclair was ok. Chocolate caramel cake was good without blowing it out of the park.

Dietary restrictions: Some gf options such as basque cheese cake

“Got the classic Benedict with beef brisket plate. Solid all around with the highlight being the bread. Poached eggs mixed with the Brazilian bread was great.

Atmosphere is a standard cafe where you have to find your own seating after ordering. It gets quite filled on the weekends.“

“Their pho salad cured salmon (5/5) was one of my favorite foods from my Boston/Cambridge trip. It was a unique dish that I'd never seen at any Vietnamese restaurant before and it was so good! While toppings were cold and fresh, the noodle was warm and it was delicious. Strongly recommend it!

Turmeric golden latte was just okay (3/5).

Everything is self serve here - you get in line, pay for your food, find yourself a seat, and go grab your food/utensils/water when they call you.“

Mike is a sweetheart & creates the best environment! You will leave happier than you came! Highly recommend!“

“Hot, fresh and delicious! S’mores and make your own donut were so good!“

“Very cute and cozy little coffee shop full of plants. I love the Vietnamese coffee, ginger chai latte, and matcha rose latte, and the drip coffee quality is very good. The staff is really friendly.

Some days they have music blasting at a headache inducing volume so it’s not a reliably great place to work or meet friends.“

“This is a hidden gem. The service might be a little slower at times because it is such a small joint. But do not let that deter you from a phenomenal cup of coffee or treat. The cold brew is OUTSTANDING, it speaks for itself and I could drink it black it is so smooth.“

“Good banh mis, would highly recommend taking it to go for a picnic. The beef, pork, and tofu were all flavorful and the ratio of ingredients was right.

The jalapeños were for some reason super spicy. Nice staff and cool vibe inside“

“The Honey Hybrid coffee is DELICIOUS!!“

“Fantastic breakfast! Best in Boston hands down.“

“Cute French bakery in East Somerville serving some delicious pastries and bread. About as close to a French bakery as you’ll find in Boston.

Small bakery in East Somerville, not the easiest to get to, but at least that means there won’t be a big queue!

I tried their almond croissant and their baguette. The baguette was superb: crispy, the perfect amount of chewiness, honestly I was transported back to Paris. Extremely authentic.

The almond croissant was very good (and beautiful!) One small criticism which prevents this from reaching 5 stars: I felt like the almond paste could have been more flavourful, and the croissant itself could have been slightly crispier. But still overall solid.“

“Great close by coffee shop. Loved it.“

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

“Visiting from out of town & happened to walk by! Never had coffee with Nutella so we had to try.

The gentleman at the counter was really nice and got us our coffee as quickly as he could despite being super busy. & even followed up with us before we headed out.

Definitely will stop by again next time we are in town!“

“Went today with my girlfriend, we had the most amazing baklava and Turkish coffee/matcha latte. The owner is the friendliest man you can find in Boston. Delicious coffee and pastries aside, I would visit this place simply for the hospitality; it was an outstanding experience.“

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

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

“This is the best mediterrian middle east food I ever had in my life. Everything is so fresh and so delicious and full of flavor. The waitress Amina is so professional and friendly excellent customer service I will give a 20 of 10 recommended 💯 percent. Look some of my pictures food I ordered definitely como back for more. Zucchini pancakes, falafel bowl and hummus. Pistachio coffee all delicious“

“Relaxed and 😋“

“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.“

“We got the muffuletta sandwich and it was SPECTACULAR! It was a new sandwich for us…the bread was perfectly paired to the style of sandwich and fresh. The meats and cheese were delicious and the olive garnish and herbs enhanced this unique taste experience. We took the sandwich to go but the restaurant was clean and relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and fast service.“

“excellent teaching, worshipful music; sound doctrine“

“I started going here in 2020 and slowly became obsessed. Best bakery and cafe in Somerville. The vibes of the staff are phenomenal but additionally the food and tea are to die for. I always get the London fog with vanilla and the vegan egg cheddar sandwich. Don’t forget to try to banana tajin muffin!!“

“Staff are nice and have good service“

“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.“

“smooth latte, nice to have a decaffeinated lattee.“

“My love for friends truly made me love this place more. I got the banana bread chai latte and the chicken noodle soup and it was AMAZING. Not only was the food amazing but the workers were all so kind and even told me if I did not like the chai I could get something else. The cafe is gorgeous and just encompasses friends completely. I 1000% recommend for anyone going.“

“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.“

“Delicious food and great coffee drinks! Excellent service from everyone and a super cute space —- highly recommend!“

“Heidi’s House of Coffee is an Oasis in a Food Court full of Fast Food corporate types of restaurants. The coffee is great, pastries are great, and the service from Heidi is second to none. Everything is individualized to your liking. Start your day with a friendly hello, the best coffee, and a genuine smile. You won’t go wrong. Dave“

“Great food! Make sure to try the Pizza breakfast sandwich - open faced sourdough bread with pizza sauce, an egg, and pizza cheese. Delicious, and even heated up the yolk was still a little runny. Excellent coffee and english muffins as well.

My only criticism is that they need more help - there were 3 people in line and only one person serving customers. I could hear more people in back, but had to wait quite some time as the person in front of me had a large order.“

“My friend and put kids came here after the aquarium
The was one guy working behind the counter and boy did he kill it got busy suddenly and he was so kind and quick. The Food was awesome and there was a nice big table in the back we could all relax and hangout at? My husband has the best croissant he's ever tasted.“

“Great breakfast crepe and coffee“

“Wait time on a busy Sunday morning was estimated at 20 min but we only waited about 5 min. It was great to see the owner helping out with the work and present walking around saying good morning. The food was amazing! Great unique flavors and very healthy and fresh in quality. I loved that there were options for vegan, vegetarian and gluten free and found the menu to be varied-- from crepes to bfast sandwiches to omelets to eggs benedict to stuffed french toast. Highly recommend!“
