    Chocolate dipped rolled croissant, strawberry refresher, and coconut banana iced matcha
    Adebola A.

    I was flying in from Boston for the first time from the Bay Area so I really wanted to check out BON! I was interested in trying their matcha flavors and they had SO many different flavors that all sounded so yummy. I ended up ordering an iced coconut banana matcha and the pairing worked so well! Easily one of the best flavored matcha I've been able to try. Their chocolate dipped rolled croissant was also so adorable and paired so well with my drink!

    Pretty small coffee shop this is. There is room in the back area to sit and enjoy your coffee but not many options. I went on a holiday Monday and it was pretty busy. I am sure it's like worse on weekends so I highly recommend going early, as I am sure the line will be long. I got a honey cinnamon iced latte. I do like their cups it comes in. They had ran out of straws when I was there at 11:30am. So it was a bit hard to drink my coffee as I kept on taking on and off the little part on the lid that has the drink part. Service was a bit slow as well. Coffee was good.

    Stuffed pistachio croissant
    Apex S.

    WOW. Their latte was simply phenomenal. So well made. Beautiful ratio of espresso to milk and the "icing" on top being the salted maple cream. This was hands down the best latte I've had to date and I've had a "few". It was so good that I went to compliment the staff that made it haha. We also ordered a stuffed pistachio croissant which was also delicious. Crunchy on the outside, with sweet pistachio cream on the inside. It's a small cafe with very limited seating. But we had no difficulty in finding a table and enjoying the pretty decorations they put up for the season.

    Iced matcha

    The area is a little tight, so don't expect there to be space when it's busy....There is pop music playing at a good volume, so if you want to focus/study without headphones...might want to reconsider and go someplace else. That being said, the staff is nice, the matcha is yum (a bit pricey but I mean it's Bon), and there is also just the aesthetics of the place too (plus the "fancy" cups). The vanilla matcha latte was definitely sweeter than the iced matcha latte, so if you want something sweet maybe consider getting something else.

    The price of drinks these days are quite pricey but the drink itself was pretty tasty! Since there's not too many good matcha places in Boston, I'd spend my money here. The interior is kind of small but there's some seating. I like how the shop was decorated and the workers were nice.

    Banana matcha
    Hayley A.

    I have to say that this might be the best matcha. The service was amazing and friendly, and you can see them hand mix the matcha. For a small shop there is a good amount of seating (with charging outlets). The bathroom was clean. If I were to be back in Boston i would stop by here again for more matcha.

    We'd seen tons of people walking around with their red-lid cups, mostly near the Boston Public Garden, but I never stopped to ask where they got them, until I actually wanted one. Of course, no one was around with a cup at that moment. After some quick Instagram searching, I finally found it... and had a total facepalm moment because we had walked right past it the day before on a walking tour and even stopped in front of it! The shop is small but clean. I really wanted to try their viral banana matcha, but they were all out of banana, so disappointing because it looked amazing on Instagram. I went with the Iced Cardamom Rose Latte instead. At first, I thought it had espresso, but it didn't. When I asked, the staff were so friendly and offered to add a shot of espresso, which they did, super kind and appreciated! I also loved that they have an ADA-friendly elevator, since there are a few steps to get into the business. Small shop, friendly staff, and great drinks, definitely worth a visit.

    Iced Honey cinnamon latte
    Jaquelin F.

    Honestly this is the best iced coffee I've had SO FAR in Boston. It is a little pricy but I personally don't mind for a good quality product. This was perfectly sweet and bitter-- I have absolutely no complaints. Customer service was great, they didn't mind me staying and doing school work for a few hours. Service was quick as well. Interior is small and cute... pretty chilly but no big deal. Overall, definitely recommended this place!!! Their menu is limited yet versatile

    Interior

    Finally tried this popular new spot, and I can't say I was overly impressed. The inside feels extremely cramped with little seating and very loud music, but to be fair the service was pretty friendly and quick, even with hand-whisking the matcha. Also, their menu is one of the most impressively extensive ones I've seen for matcha in the city, offering a wide variety of flavors. However, I felt that even with a decent strawberry flavor, the matcha taste itself was lacking and even had a strange almost chemical taste accompanying it. Besides this, the portion size is good, the cup is a nice aesthetic, and the matcha has a smooth and creamy texture. For the high price, though, I can't say this stop is entirely worth it. I'd be interested to try other flavors, but generally probably wouldn't recommend it unless you happen to be nearby and get a strong craving.

    Hot latte and tiramisu latte
    Sasha M.

    I personally think this place is worth the hype! I've only been here for their drinks so I can't speak on their food. I've been twice and I absolutely loved the tiramisu latte. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. I also was walking all day and asked if I could get tap water and one of the staff members gave it to me in a huge cup with ice in it which was so sweet. The space is cute inside but not that much seating so if you can find one great but if not definitely good for grab and go drinks. The only thing is I couldn't find the trash can easily and I don't know if I missed it or what! Overall, it's a super fun place to get your drink and walk around the common after since it's right next to there!

    Really great cold brew from here and not overpriced too which was great! The pastries looked amazing so I'll have to come back to try them!

    Iced coconut matcha latte
    Alyanna T.

    I got the iced coconut matcha latte (w oat milk) - TASTE: 4/5 - loved the strong coconut undertone to the matcha, tasty! PRICE: 4/5 - tis $8.50 for all of the iced matcha drinks SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - the 16oz size satisfied my sweet craving SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 2:45pm on a Sunday and waited 5min in line. Drink was ready 5min after ordering ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - tight, in this former Dunkin space, w fun touches of art. Appreciate the Egyptian teas offered on the menu PARKING: 4/5 - got lucky w a street spot around the corner on Park St

    The matcha was great especially for it being in Boston. It was an easy walk over from the commons and the service was fairly quick as we went later in the day. Overall a very fun hip place indoors and casual. I thought the matcha was great just super overpriced in my opinion. It was close to $10 do the matcha alone.

    While visiting Boston, we went on a late night hunt for dessert and ended up at JP Licks purely…read morebecause the name made us laugh. Turns out, it absolutely lived up to the hype. 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.

    Just had a really odd experience at this location…read more I ordered a small cup of a special flavor (sticky toffee pudding). The server asked if I wanted any toppings. I said, "Yes please, I'd like M&Ms." The server, and another person working behind the counter, both told me that they just ran out of M&Ms. They didn't have any more. This was weird to me. As I was walking to the the shop, I passed a person who had a small cup of ice cream with both m&m's and oreo topping. Okay, I thought. That's weird but so be it. Then, I scootch over to look at the rest of the toppings and what do I see? M&Ms. I point out the M&M's to the employee and ask, "hey, aren't those M&M's?" They mumbled something back that I didn't exactly catch. They either said "those are closed" or "those are skittles" or "it's not those". "those are closed" makes no sense because they asked if I wanted toppings and it was 2 and a half hours before they closed. "those are skittles" makes no sense because they don't carry skittles as a topping... The whole experience was perplexing to me. Anyways, JP Licks is pretty overrated and too expensive. $6.5+ for the smallest size is not worth it. They have some decent flavors (cookies n' cake batter) though and the ice cream is usually pretty well executed and not icy. still, not really a place i'd recommend and won't be going back for a while after this freak incident. Attached photos are the proof that they had M&Ms. Note the "M" on the candy and the blue colored candies (they don't make blue skittles)

    Beacon Hill Books and Cafe is a three story independent bookstore set inside a townhouse on Beacon…read moreHill, and the physical space does as much work as the inventory in making it worth a visit. We walked into a building with the kind of architectural character that chain bookstores cannot manufacture, with small rooms opening into each other across multiple floors, wallpapered walls, and reading nooks distributed throughout that invite you to slow down rather than move through quickly. The book selection is well curated with staff recommendation cards on the shelves that actually reflect genuine enthusiasm rather than perfunctory notes. We saw limited edition hardcovers and local and regional titles appearing alongside the broader fiction and nonfiction selection. Browsing felt productive rather than overwhelming because the curation kept things focused. The kids section upstairs is one of the more delightful in Boston, with a train running along a track near the ceiling that tends to make a strong impression on younger visitors. There is also an art print vending machine on the second floor that draws its own audience of visitors looking for something small and specific to take home. The cafe occupies the lower level and operates as a separate experience from the bookshop above. We ordered the oat milk cappuccino with Vermont maple syrup, which was worth it. The morning glory scone and the popovers are two other items to consider. The cafe is tiny, around eight tables inside with a small patio, and reservations are recommended for breakfast and afternoon tea service. Pricing at the cafe is on the higher end, and certain fixed price service formats on specific dates push it considerably further, so checking current pricing before booking is worth doing. For a bookshop that doubles as a destination in its own right, Beacon Hill Books and Cafe delivers a cozy, curated experience that rewards lingering. It is the kind of place we would return to just to sit and read with a good coffee.
