This was THE BEST banana bread I've ever had. I asked them to warm it up in the oven and it was moist and filled with chunky walnuts and banana goodness.

The barista was super helpful in helping us find a drink. They were out of cold brew so we got the salted maple cold brew on top of an iced coffee instead. We also ordered the Carmel coconut hot chocolate (10/10) which I thought was amazing but my mom found too sweet. The salted maple cold brew was just okay. We also ordered a BLT, extra toasted WHICH WAS AMAZING! and a shrimp ceasar salad, which only had 4 shrimps. The restaurant itself had 2 floors and many available tables.

Quick service (and friendly when we had questions). They have outdoor seating on a patio and a few tables inside. Outside is fun for people watching as this location is right on the main area into the park and many cute shops in Beacon Hill. It does get sunny though so on a hot day inside is a nice respite. Fresh and quality ingredients everywhere (and leading to their price point). I would definitely visit again for breakfast or lunch or any time in between. Just looking at their bakery case made my mouth water.

The vegetable frittata was delicious--fresh, satisfying, and a perfect light breakfast. We also shared a scone with fruit jam, which was very well made. Scones are highly subjective, but this one was exactly the style I enjoy: flavorful without being overly sweet. I didn't try the coffee myself, but my partner really enjoyed hers, which isn't surprising given Thinking Cup's reputation as one of Boston's standout coffee shops. Between the welcoming atmosphere, quality food, and excellent location on Newbury Street, I'd definitely return the next time I'm in Boston.

Not bad by any means, but nothing particularly special compared to what I was expecting. The French toast, however, was amazing! Definitely much more impressive than the pancakes and something I'd recommend ordering. We also tried the burrata caprese toast, which was actually suggested by our server, and it ended up being such a pleasant surprise! It was absolutely delicious and easily my favorite dish of the entire meal. I probably wouldn't have thought to order it myself, so I'm really glad our server recommended it! Overall, the food was good, with a few dishes that really stood out. While the pancakes didn't quite live up to the hype for me, the French toast and especially the burrata caprese toast more than made up for it. I'd definitely come back and explore more of their menu. If you're visiting, don't overlook the savory options!

So when my 3-day school holiday break came around, I made it a point for my daughter and me to finally check it out! Plus she's a bookworm. We got lucky right from the start! My kid managed to snag a parking spot right on Charles St, just a block away. Listen- this was a victory in itself because parking in Boston is a muvvafuckinng nightmare. Beacon H. is everything I thought a charming neighborhood bookstore would be. It's cozy, quaint and has so much pizzazz. The space is narrow, rooms are little and even the staircase is narrow. Doesn't matter- it just adds to its old-fashioned charm. They also have a café that I really wanted us to try, but there was a wait, so we decided to stick to books this time. Depending on the weeknd, you might have to stand in line outside- line moves quick. This is the kind of bookstore I'd love to stay in for hours especially on a rainy day because it has this warm, inviting feel. The book selection isn't huge, but what they do have is well-put together with a little bit of everything: fiction, nonfiction, cookbooks, etc. If you're looking for an entire collection by a particular author, you probably won't find it here. Like take John Grisham- one of my faves- you're going to find his latest but not his entire collection. I guess that's part of the charm. Lemme mention the service which was excellent and welcoming. Bookmark checked off my list!

There was one woman (VERY young) making drinks & she was fast. Right after other guy took my order, the "barista" left to back room. Gone for ten minutes. There were 4 of us waiting for drinks of all varieties. The guy taking orders moved over & started making a drink. Bottom line was he was trying to be funny... running around & flirting w coworker (still not making drinks). Get back to the orders!!! He was talking to himself, walking in circles. It was nuts.... It took 18 minutes for him to make a 4oz espresso martini. He went to put it in a tiny wine glass & asked for a martini glass. The kids looked at each other & started arguing w me over the type of glasses they were. (Yeah, I'm particular)... telling me the martini glass was a "cocktail" glass and this wine glass was for martinis . He listened & gave me the correct glass. At one point, the girl said to the guy 'Make her drink & get her outta my face' Can you imagine?? If I would not have been called racist, I woulda kicked her a$$! WTH? I have to say the crazy guy DID make a good martini!!! What a mess!! Room is nice, loud & crowded... like a coffee shop.... But service, HELL no!
