Love, love, love Bohemian! Came here a few times this past summer after wanting to for a while! The muffins are to die for. A couple of my favorites are blackberry peach and blueberry nectarine. I saw some different flavors each time I went. I love their bergamot iced tea and green iced tea. They have iced coffee which I would like to try next. Very small inside... no indoor seating and a couple tables outside. They are closed Monday and Tuesdays and open till 2 Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Open till 4 on Saturday and 12 Sunday. Can't wait to come back! read more

Quaint family friendly coffee shop! While tiny, this place has a nice menu with traditional and seasonal/unique beverages. All the pastries and baked goods seem freshly made and are displayed in a unique way in the shop. Everyone here was super friendly and clearly had great camaraderie which added to the feeling of being in a family run place. I found the coffee in general was made well and the craft lattes had a nice balance of flavor and sweetness. I also ordered a raspberry muffin which had actual fresh raspberries in it! Im excited to have found this place and can't wait to come back! read more

First visit since COVID to this charming but cramped and aging shop with over-the-counter service, about a dozen different muffins, and a single tiny table by the window. It's almost entirely takeout and on weekend mornings the line is as packed as a subway car during rush hour. The staff is efficient, courteous, and businesslike. I bought a box of muffins at opening and the whole box felt warm-- a great sign. -- Raspberry Chocolate Chip Muffin: I ate this in the shop shortly after opening, while it was still piping hot, with the raspberries nearly a liquid and the chips somewhat melty. Nice soft texture and good contrast of flavors. -- Blueberry Muffin: I broke off and sampled a piece a little later in the morning (okay, 15 minutes later). Still somewhat warm, with a sponginess leaning toward Play-Doh territory (not necessarily a bad thing), but overall good. Neither noticeably sugary nor noticeably buttery. Blueberries were closer to adequate than impressive. Good muffin but with no standout characteristic to hang your hat on. -- Cranberry Muffin: Probably the best of the bunch. The highest crown (though no overhang), with a crusty surface and a good amount of big cranberries on top. Decent understated flavor to the dough, almost biscuit-like. -- Chocolate Chip Muffin: Overloaded with chips on the top surface (I'd hesitate to call it a crown), with none below. Plain dough that's thankfully not overly sugared, but not particularly moist. These muffins aren't cheap. Once you factor in the tax and tip, it's close to $7 each, and we're not talking about particularly large muffins. If anything, they're small, with no overhang and no streusel. Nothing wrong with small (they're dense, so will still fill you up), but for the price it catches your attention, as does a "coffee house" with only one table. The muffins are a well-deserved 4 even without overhang and streusel, but the other aspects bring it to a 3. Best for local pick-up. read more

Listen. Do yourself a favor. Don't try the muffins here. After you've had these muffins, all others pale in comparison. You'll find yourself disappointed that muffins from other places seem dry and flavorless. And you might end up like me, with fingers stained by the fresh blackberries that were exploding out of my warm muffin this morning. Stay far away. read more

I've been to Bohemian Coffeehouse several times and it's one of my favorite coffee spots in the area! The seasonal lattes are always delicious so definitely recommend trying one of those. The real stars however are the baked goods. Their berry muffins have perfect crispy tops and are moist with a ton of fruit packed in them. It's a cozy and small space with only very limited seating so I recommend taking your order to go. Despite a small space, the staff is amazing and will definitely make you feel welcome so definitely check this spot out! read more

Bohemian Coffeehouse - Muffins - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Melrose, Massachusetts

Good fresh coffee meet the locals sit down and unwind. It's all good there. Nice selection of coffee hot or cold

fun and ever changing menu of drinks, the best muffins in the world, and the staff feels like family

This is a tiny coffee shop that happens to also specialize in muffins. It is standing room only and can hold maybe 5-6 customers inside comfortably, making this place kind of exclusive. There is limited street parking in front of the store. I had to circle around because I am lazy and did not want to park in the commuter rail lot across the street. Overall, the experience was fine. The employees took my order and served me quickly. The blueberry muffins are amazing and they seemed to have a good variety of other flavors. Bottom line: this place is pricey, so I really need to be in a fresh-baked muffin kind of mood to come here. I got 3 muffins, a ham and cheese croissant, and a medium iced coffee and it came to about $28 after taxes. Not sure what each individual item cost, but I guess is it cheaper and easier than buying ingredients and making my own muffins at home. read more

I adore this place. The muffins and pastries are incredible, the staff are so kind and friendly, and the energy is always warm and uplifting. Yes, the space is small, but it's so worth it for the delicious treats and great people! :) I love coming here on weekends. read more

The muffins are the best I've ever had, and the baristas are always friendly and nice. I was asking about their chai, and the barista helped guide me towards a drink that I'd love. A lot of chais are too sweet/syrupy, but Bohemian's is perfectly spicy! I currently live out of state and make sure to stop here whenever I'm back! read more

The BEST muffins. I love that they're always still warm by the time I get home. However, if you intend on enjoying it there, there is a small table that seats a few people. The vibe is very hipster-ish. Otherwise it's mostly take out. They also have a good selection of coffee. Staff is always super friendly. read more

Been here for a long time. The muffins are perfect, especially the wild berry and lemon coconut. And do try the cookies; warm and moist as you want them. Parking can be a challenge, just be patient. read more

Cute little coffee place near the commuter rail station. They make their baked good on the spot, they're always fresh out of the oven.

So cute and the muffins are delicious. Service is slow but friendly. Coffee was sub average and took forever. No space to sit down so plan to take your treats to go. read more

Bohemian Coffeehouse is not merely a café; it is a sanctuary where exceptional food and transcendent energy converge to inspire both palate and mind. Upon entering, you are greeted not only by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee but by the unmistakable hum of creative thought--a place where free thinkers and kindred spirits gather, whether they recognize it or not. The scones, delicate and flaky, dissolve like whispered secrets upon the tongue, each layer a testament to the divine art of baking. Their croissant ham and cheese sandwich? A masterpiece so sumptuous that one bite compels you to yearn for twenty more. The buttery layers embrace the savory filling with such perfection that it becomes clear: this is not ordinary food, but the work of celestial beings. Only hands touched by the stars could craft something this profound. And then, there's the coffee. This is not the hurried, forgettable brew that most cafés sling carelessly; no, Bohemian Coffeehouse reveres the bean, tending to it with precision and reverence. Their coffee pots are cleaned with fastidious care, ensuring no taint mars the sacred liquid within. They use only filtered water, and the temperature is calibrated to draw out the most exquisite notes from the beans--deep, rich flavors that dance on the edge of metaphysical. Each sip is a journey into the essence of what coffee is meant to be, a liquid revelation. Yet, paradoxically, many of the patrons seem oblivious to the transcendent quality of what they are experiencing. They sit, scrolling through their devices, unaware that the very energy of this place--the pulse that vibrates just beneath the surface--belongs to a higher realm. Perhaps only those attuned to the metaphysical can truly appreciate it, can feel the echoes of the celestial hands that crafted each pastry, brewed each cup. Bohemian Coffeehouse transcends the superficial, elevating even the act of sipping coffee into something sacred. It is a place where true connoisseurs of both food and thought can find solace, while others--unaware of the cosmic grace they've stumbled upon--simply sip and scroll. But make no mistake, this is a place of profound energy and artistry, where each bite, each sip, carries with it the weight of something beyond our mundane experience. read more

This is one of my favorite coffee shops. They have delicious specials that are always changing. I've never had a coffee I didnt LOVE. I don't know the baristas name but they are typically there, short brown hair and so kind! Despite the small standing area the shop is so cute and cozy. As a baker, the muffins are some of the best I've ever had. I love stopping by before work to grab a snack. The chocolate chip coffee cake and raspberry chocolate chip muffins are absolutely incredible. Couldn't recommend this place enough! read more

Bohemian Coffeehouse - Chocolate chip coffee cake muffin and a latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Melrose, Massachusetts

Excellent coffee and baked goods at this hole-in-the-wall cafe. Creative, seasonal lattes included The Raven, a maple/pistachio latte with the perfect flavor balance and foam. One of the best almond croissants in the region, a beautiful, dense, flavor-packed indulgence. Han and cheese croissant aand other savory offerings rounded out the selections. Street parking, and a single table in this teensy and mega-popular place. In decent weather, there are several tables across the street for you to enjoy your drink and nosh. There is hardly room inside for many people to order, so the queue may be outside quickly. Do not let this deter you. It is crowded for good reason. Could not even snap a picture because ten people packed the place and blocked the views. A real gem where they know how to properly craft a cappuccino and a latte. Delicious find. read more

Meh. Muffins were just okay and a bit overpriced. Can find better in the area. Wasn't impressed sadly. Also had a bit of an attitude from the person at counter so that rubbed me the wrong way also. read more

Staff was very delightful and welcoming to this very small and quaint coffee shop. I must say the muffins are hands down the best I have ever had. There is not even a close 2nd. read more

Quintessential little hidden gem coffee shop. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but when I do crave it I will only get it here. Iced almond milk latte with a shot of hazelnut--truly like drinking the nectar of the gods! Flavors are all perfectly balanced and the texture is velvety smooth. Staff is super friendly. They've been around for a while and they know what they're doing. Their muffins are also delicious and made fresh daily in-house; the same cannot be said for certain other "bakeries" in Melrose...As I mentioned before, it's a tiny place with one or two tables outside so most customers grab & go. Be patient if you visit during busy times (a surprisingly difficult concept for some to grasp) and pay close attention to their hours of business. read more

I have dreams about the wildberry muffin. I would never order that typically but one day it was all they had left and I tried it. I'm so happy I did. It was amazing. The folks who work here are super nice & friendly. The coffee is amazing as well. Cute shop you can't sit inside but it's perfect to go in and grab a coffee and a muffin or pastry. read more

They always say the little places are hidden jewels and this place has delicious blueberry muffins and banana chocolate chip muffins! And around the holidays we were able to grab a blueberry loaf that was amazing! read more

Is this a coffee shop that sells muffins or a muffin shop that sells coffee? Yes. Got the raspberry chocolate chip muffin and a maple spice latte. You can tell when you get a latte if they use good coffee because it just tastes different. A little more acidic than your usual syrupy lattes and just so good! The raspberry chocolate chip muffin was loaded with raspberries and chocolate chips. Loaded!!! You gotta love a loaded muffin. Covid: You order outside the storefront. Don't be deterred by the line, they are quite quick and it's worth it. read more

If you've ever hosted a house party for Cinco de Mayo and positioned the bowl of guac down a hallway just wide enough for half a Shakira, you'll understand the ordering anxiety around close time at Bohemian Coffeehouse. To call it small is an understatement. Not that one would fault a coffeehouse with freshly baked goods, a selection of smoothies and I guess that java-based drink that other people quaff on the onset of fall (or three times a day, everyday) for being jammed, but for pete's sake, there could be order to the madness. We asked for smoothies (hers: a straw-banana over orange juice, mine: a Red, which features raspberries, strawberries, cayenne pepper and other red things) and got them, one at a time. In the interim, we noticed the waning muffin supply and hoped there'd be a blueberry and a banana chocolate chip by the time our smoothirista finished the blend. He didn't. Another couple, two behind us in line, snagged the last blue. A nod to excellent staff empathy, a staffer refused to charge us for the second muffin because of the abnormal pastry-snaking. Much appreciated! The total still hit the $14 mark sans muffin number two. Mighty pricey. The smoothies drank more like frosty juices, and the muffins are stuffed with promised ingredients (more berries than anything else in her Wild Berry offering - dayum!). It should be mentioned these muffins are more like breads, with nary a crumble in sight. Not that it takes away from the overall flava, but muffin aficionados might appreciate the heads up. Five star service, three star atmosphere, two star smoothies, three star muffins and three star pricing yield a... CALCULATOR! 3.2 stars. But I'll definitely head back next journey to the Fells, so expect an update. read more

Good Coffee and Muffins! Place is very, very tiny. Also tried the Ham and Cheese Croissant which was excellent

Hands down the best muffins and breakfast sandwiches you'll ever have. I'm starting to think that Hillary is some kind of wizard. Plus she and her staff are just awesome. I'm not saying you should go there sometime. I'm saying you should go there night now. Stop reading this and go. read more

Strangely set up place. They keep a table across the front door, so no entering, shopping their goods. Nothing to view in the widows. You Line up on the sidewalk. Not my cup of tea. I didnt order anything and was on my way to find a normal shop. read more

This coffee shop just gets better and better. Excellent iced Americano and muffins that remain both delicious and addicting! I have forced myself to get only one a week and it is a struggle every time to deny myself one! As someone said, it is what all coffee shops should be! We are so lucky to have two great coffee shops nearby-Bohemian in Melrose and Bikeeny in Malden. Coffee roasted and made right. read more

Bohemian Coffeehouse - Blueberry muffin-warm from the oven - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Melrose, Massachusetts

Your average second-wave coffee shop that feels like it's straight out of the late 90s or early 2000s. Whole chalkboard dedicated to flavor shots, etc. I grabbed an iced tea here (they use MEM.) I picked Moroccan Mint. Once I left the cafe and sipped it, it was way too sickly sweet. It's weird that the iced tea is pre-sweetened. I could only take a few sips before the sweetness made me feel more nauseous and I ended up having to throw the whole thing out, which I was really bummed about. I used to brew this at a coffee shop I used to work at and it definitely does not need to be pre-sweetened. It completely covers up the mint. It's a shame that the delicious MEM tea leaves are covered up with sugar considering how high quality their selections are. They bake on-site, so it smelled great at least. I wouldn't come back. read more

This place is a gem! Freshly baked every single day! So many delicious treats! Plenty of Vegan options too. Such a variety of flavors! Some unique combinations as well. Everything is mouthwatering and must try! Highly recommend! read more

An absolutely delicious iced americano, iced tea and blueberry lemon muffin. Was so impressed by the service and menu!

First time here, just what I was looking for on a Sunday Morning. Winning combination: Cafe Au Lait with a Cinnamon Coffee Cake. read more

I came here when it wasn't busy, my mother had her first "London fog" latte and loved it. I thought it was good too, it wasn't extremely sweet which was good. The iced coffee is nice and very mild. We split a wild berry muffin which was delicious! It was overall reasonably priced too. I was surprised at how small the place was though. I would definitely come back to try the "violet" smoothie or a toffeenut flavor. I also LOVE the Ravens everywhere read more

Best muffins around and interesting coffee flavors. I always get friendly service and try to support local small businesses when I can.

Went in today for a coconut latte with almond milk. The service was great and fresh batches of muffins were being baked. The wildberry muffin was the best muffin I've ever had! The bottom was moist and the top was crusty. Definitely will be returning again. read more
