    We came here for brunch one morning while in town. It was a cute and quiet little café that's kind of tucked away. The place had a very homey and quaint feel to it. Food was fairly decent. I got the chicken burrito panini, which was fairly good. Service was pretty quick and friendly. I would say the vibe and atmosphere is what makes this place. It has a small town diner vibe in a city if that makes sense.

    Came here twice during my stay in Boston, MA! I enjoyed a cappuccino with a chocolate chip cookie on day one and on our second visit I enjoyed a drip coffee , a sausage breakfast sandwich and another delicious chocolate chip cookie. This small business feels like home, employees are kind ans attentive. Overall the space is nice and cozy to sit in while enjoying the busy streets of Boston in the morning:)

    Savory Bowl ($8.95: Two eggs scrambled, bacon (skip the bacon), tomatoes, fresh avocado, baby spinach, chives and pepper-jack cheese)

    Fantastic food and vibe. Have worked in area for 4 years, went here for the first time yesterday, got an ice coffee. Went back today and had the Savory Bowl, it is fantastic. The staff is very welcoming, the space is super comfortable, all low key but clean and fun. Will definitely be back!

    So good

    Shallot mayo. Need I say more? Cozy, frugal, simple, memorable, customizable. It's easier to order in person but online has good selection as well. The service is friendly and fast.

    Juan's Spicy Salmon Sandwich, and Matt's Bagel Sandwich.

    Amazing food!. Was staying at the hotel next door, decided to try before my flight. Ordered the salmon on plain bagel and bacon, egg and cheese on sesame. I was thoroughly impressed. If im ever in the area, this will be my stop! Workers actually care about your satisfaction. Very friendly staff and great environment to catch a bite.

    Smoked Salmon Sandwich and Sugar Free Hazelnut Latte.  YUMMO!

There was plenty of seating inside and we had no trouble finding an open spot to sit down and enjoy our ice cream. There also wasn't a line which was really nice! My boyfriend got the mint chip in a waffle cone, and I got the salted caramel cookies n creme in a cup with sprinkles on it. While I do usually prefer my ice cream order to my boyfriends....i do have to admit that I liked his more. Don't skip the waffle cone like I did. Definitely a great stop to add to your day in boston! The flavors are always great, and there's seasonal flavors which rotate that are always fun to try.

I went with two scoops, black raspberry and brownie chocolate, and the brownie was killer. Rich, chocolatey, and totally worth standing outside in 30 degree weather to eat it. I devoured it without hesitation. There were so many great flavor options, and my friends all found something they loved too. It felt like one of those classic, must-stop dessert spots. Cold, delicious, and just the right amount of chaotic fun... it was wicked good.

We came for dinner and I got the turkey and brie sandwich. The brie melted in your mouth and paired perfectly with the crunchy vegetables and turkey in the sandwich. There was also a layer of fruit jam which created a salty sweet combination that was delicious. I also shared a warm custard bread pudding for dessert with a friend (be aware that you have to order this 30 minutes ahead as they bake it fresh!) which was so yummy - it was quite sweet but gooey and a lovely mixture of caramel flavors that paired nicely with the vanilla gelato. Prices are on the higher side but align with the attention that is paid to each plate! They have a super cute bookstore next to the cafe which is fun to browse. The set-up is within three stories of a house and the decor/design inside is very cozy - definitely worth checking out. On the third floor children's section there is a toy train that periodically circles the top of the room which is a fun touch too!

    Heartbreaking. The bookstore is exceptional. But the cafe is absurdly expensive and the male waiter…read morewalks the fine line on rude. The wonderful waitress, Sabrina, saved this from being a one star review. First the food. You pay $15 on the kids menu for literally a scrambled egg on an unbuttered piece of toast. Nothing else on the plate. The $24 breakfast is two scrambled eggs on white toast with a few cherry tomorrows on top and a side of small meatball-looking turkey sausages. I was shocked, but since I was with my child, I didn't want to say a thing. There is absolutely NOTHING on this menu worth the cost or experience. Also, they do not pour the tea and if you ask for milk (typically served with dark teas) the waiter gives you impatient side-eye. The cafe has everything, EVERYTHING which could really make it a spectacular experience, and I can say that I will never go again or recommend. Get a muffin and coffee/tea at Tatte or Flour Bakery and skip this cafe and go straight to the book store. The bookstore is a joy.
