Ambiance is a 5, with covered outside patio accessible via flight of steps, very inviting. Inside you will find variety of menu items from baked treats to signature beverages (not just coffee!). Self serve cold tap water. Service and staff friendliness is a 5, with them showing me what goes into their mint cucumber drink. I ended up ordering iced chai latte. My daughter ordered their strawberry lemonade. Both were a 3. Their baked pastries and cakes looked good, we will definitely go back to try.
Had just arrived in Boston and found this gem. It was very quiet, being that it was already about 4pm. Ordered from the kiosk which was smooth and easy. Was craving an iced matcha latte and tried their honey comb matcha which was great and also ordered a simple Caesar salad.
Came here while on vacay in Boston. Ordered the French toast with bacon, and the entire meal was truly fantastic. Reasonably priced too. The worker who brought my food out definitely was not friendly. But whatever. The food made up for any customer service flaws. I’d eat there again.
Coincidentally and fortunately visited. Banana Bread: I was actually not a big fan of banana, but decided to follow the waitress's recommendation and give it a try. And it not only satisfied, but even surprised me. The banana's sweetness was natural and fresh, and the bread's texture was as soft, smooth, fluffy and moist as a muffin or cupcake. At a freezing and windy winter night, what could be more comforting than holding and tearing into a piece of banana bread like this?
Stopped in on my way out of the city and their sticky bun alone was worth the trip. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and great food.
First time here and we went for lunch after a visit to the Children’s museum. Very smooth ordering process with kiosks or with servers. Ordered the roast beef sandwich and soup of the day. Also ordered a grilled cheese and turkey bacon sandwich for the family. Sandwich and soup were some of the best I’ve ever had. Cafe was busy with steady flow of customers. Great pace and service despite being so busy. Definitely will be back!
Friendly folks at this bakery, which offered a lot of nice looking treats, none of which my waistline could afford to try. Kiosk by the front let's you order upon arrival but I just went up to the counter. Got an Americano - all the espresso based drinks come from a touchscreen machine if you're opposed to that sort of thing, but mine came out great.
