“Love this cafe! I’ve been to so many in the area and this one probably takes the #1 spot. Baristas are super friendly. I always get a soy latte, delicious. Music isn’t too loud, there’s fast wifi and enough outlets, and overall there’s a great vibe full of ppl on their laptops, reading books, studying, catching up over lunch. Pastries and sandwiches are delicious too!“
“They season this food crazy good. Got roasted duck, wonton soup, peking duck, sweet and sour chicken. I don’t even care for regular chinese take out, and dislike how oily and salty it can be sometimes— But they do it right. I have had some tragic vegetarian chinese dining experiences in Chinatown that take advantage of the prime location. Overpriced and flavorless. This is exactly the opposite. I have had meat eater friends enjoy the dishes just fine. Kudos to CoCo Lin.“
“They prioritize health over flavor so don't go here expecting super flavorful food. I had the Bison burger and sweet potato fries. It was quite good although I didn't taste any salt, I don't think they add salt or very little. You have to ask for it. The buns were yummy and toasted and kinda sweet. The burger was good and tasted fresh although not a lot of flavor. Overall it's a good spot if you looking for a healthier option, and if you're a gym guy. The people are also very friendly and talk with a nice tone.“
“Nice Mexican food, I've come here about three times n ordered the porgie n rice dish, really good. It's a short walk from Freshpond M station with decent seating n good service. It's a simple but nice setting n prices are plenty reasonable.“
“My favorite takeout Indian in the area! I usually go Chicken 65 for an appetizer which has (in my opinion) the perfect spicy level between flavor and spicy. For meals, you can’t go wrong with the Chicken Tikka Masala (or Vindaloo) + Garlic “
“I visited Hibiscus Cafe less than an hour before closing on a Sunday evening. The café was really busy, and everyone (including myself) was ordering complicated drinks. A few folks ordered things that required ingredients that were out, and something like that could throw anyone off their game at the end of their shift. However, the woman working was handling everything so smoothly and efficiently, and she was just plain awesome. My matcha latte was also delicious! I can’t wait to go back!“
“Amazing Fresh Onigari (rice balls) & delicious teas! (Cold, Hot, Bubble, No-Bubble) Support a local Mom & Pop shop & get fresh tasty food & drinks — win win win!!! (The line outside moves, one customer/group inside at a time due to COVID, & everything is made fresh to order — your patience will be rewarded!)“
“I met a friend at Tartinery Wednesday afternoon, so it was not crowded. I ordered a cup of latte and warm apple tart. The tart was indeed warm and a scoop of vanilla ice cream complimented it. We stayed there for more than an hour, enjoying our conversation. The workers were present when we needed something, and it gave relaxed atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised that they gave some discount as my friend is a nearby university student. I would return to Tartinery to try breakfast or lunch next time.“
“Honestly the food is AMAZING! AMAZING !!!!! BUT ...... The environment is not the best. It's tight, too serious, the food isn't the fastest and it is pricey. but I will say the food is worth it. I would just love the ambiance to change. Then it would be perfect. Absolutely perfect!“
