Great music, amazing vibe! The Matcha was good but slightly on the bitter side. The service was good and pretty fast for a busy Sunday afternoon. A bit pricey (extra matcha is + $2) which seems a bit excessive to me.
This place was on my list of coffee shops to try while in Boston. Inside is quite small so I can see this place getting crowded. There were only a couple tables and barstools to sit. I ordered the Spanish latte and I enjoyed it. It wasn't too sweet and I could still take the espresso. I tried a sip of my friend's matcha latte and it was good too. The drinks did not disappoint.
Pretty humid and ofc, a cold matcha is a must! I bump this place while walking around. Came inside and was greeted happily. The place is small but had few tables and chairs where you can dine & enjoy your order. I got Salted Honey Cloud Matcha and t'was pretty good. I should've told her though to make it 50% sweet coz it was way too sweet for my taste. Overall t'was okay. I enjoyed it. My order came in immediately so my thirst got its remedy. Anyhow, Mahalo for reading and happy juandering fellow Yeeps!
I tried a few coffee shops while visiting the city and this was my last stop on my trip before heading home. It did not disappoint! I felt like the coffee had the strong flavor that I liked without being overpowered by milk. Inside is pretty small but they did have seating there to sit and enjoy! It was raining that day so it was nice to sit and enjoy while the rain was subsiding.
The most overhyped coffee in boston.... BUTTT rightfully so! Omg in 1 week I visited 4x times, and i'm 30 minutes away. My favorite is their special salted cloud iced latte. It was perfect! They are very efficient, and the shop is very vibey and cool. It's a must visit!!
Went here yesterday and I'm glad I did! We grabbed lattes and walked around the Boston Commons with them. Great location. Staff were friendly and efficient, and the lattes were sweet and offered unique flavors like salted honey and brown butter. They have a smaller space with unique decor, and the cups are solid and reusable which I really liked! Good option if you're in the area and like a latte that doubles as a sweet treat.
I ordered one of their current summer specials - the Salted Cloud Iced Latte. I thought it was fantastic! On the sweeter side, but a great flavor profile overall, plus it was a quick experience from ordering to receiving my drink! I will say - I did not plan to stay inside, but there is not much seating so this is a stop & go type of place!
I ordered the seasonal brown butter oat latte and this is one of the best iced lattes I've ever had! It was just a little salty and a little sweet, a perfect blend. The line can get kind of long and there's limited seating inside so it's probably best to order your drink to go.
This place has been on a list for a while now. I was in the area and decided to get a morning pick me up. I ordered a coconut matcha and an almond croissant. The total came down to $16 and some change. For two basic items this seems very expensive. The matcha was whisked to order however, the taste was very sweet and artificial. The croissant was also not flaky, it was soft and squishy. The almond paste inside was very sweet and tasted artificial. They have some seats with outlets inside if you want to sit. Overall for the price tag I would go elsewhere. Wasn't worth it.
Absolutely loved the drinks we chose - Golden fig iced latte, hot americano and raspberry iced matcha were all 10/10 no notes! The banana muffin was also delicious - the streusel on top was the best part. I was not a fan of the pistachio croissant. It was overly sweet and the croissant portion was dry and hard. I would not recommend the croissants but the rest of the food and drinks were great. The venue is small so I definitely recommend getting items to go as there isn't a lot of more to sit or stand and enjoy your food and drinks. The service was fast and easy, but the staff was definitely more interested in chatting with each other than they were creating a welcoming environment. The drinks were definitely worth it to visit again, but I'd just get drinks only to go on my next visit.
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.
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.
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.
So happy I got to come here! The inside is very cool with a good amount of seating despite the small space! Service was great and quick! Everyone was so helpful and kind Drinks were great! Very sweet. I like sweet though! I hope that I can come back one day. read more

The matcha was amazing! They used rocky's matcha and we had one of their specials. The inside is a bit small and we were kind of cramped waiting for drinks, but it was definitely worth it. Would definitely come back again! read more

I feel like the coffee here is so good that there's always a little bit of a wait. For good reason, it is delicious and it comes in these adorable keepsake coffee cups. It's really in The Best location right in the thick of everything. It's a tiny little coffee café, but it packs a big punch. One of the best coffee sips I think I've ever had. Everyone was so sweet and the design was really cool, so modern. Just a stones throw away from the beautiful garden park. read more

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. read more

Amazing quality matcha! Loved the flavor options as well. Not too sweet and the blueberry complemented the matcha perfectly. Their fall menu looked delish we just didn't have time to try it. Definitely better than some of the other coffee shops in Boston. read more

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! read more
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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

A fun spot for specialty lattes! Lowkey reuse the cup for coffee at home everything is super nice inside as well! A fun spot to hang out for coffee with friends read more
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. read more

The sugar free vanilla latte was so yummy. My husbands cinnamon honey latte was good but not hot enough for him so they were nice enough to make him another one. Extra hot! read more
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! read more

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. read more

This cafe had the most disappointing croissants I've had in all of Boston. I got a plain croissant and a pistachio wheel croissant and both of them were incredibly stale. I even went right at 7 when they opened for fresh pastries but was met with rock hard croissants. To make it worse, the plain croissant was so clearly just a Costco croissant. Don't get me wrong, Costco croissants aren't bad, but they definitely aren't worth almost $5 and they aren't good when they've been sitting out for days. The only redeeming quality was the pistachio wheel, but only because the filling made the inside semi moist. The outer edge was so hard I could probably use it to knock someone out. Heed the reviews of others and do not spend your money here! read more
I was in the area so I decided to check this place out for their matcha! The cafe is pretty small and cozy inside with cute holiday decorations and some seating. I ordered a croissant and the banana matcha and was pleasantly surprised by the taste of the matcha and the subtle sweetness of the drink. They also heated up the croissant for me which was delicious. The workers were all very friendly and the service was swift. read more

The place itself is cute and clean, and service was very quick with a super friendly cashier, which I appreciated. Parking, however, was a bit of a challenge. I tried the strawberry matcha latte, which came in an adorable cup--but unfortunately, the drink didn't live up to its looks. There was barely any matcha flavor, and the freeze-dried strawberries left an odd aftertaste. It mostly tasted like oat milk with a touch of fruit, but almost no matcha. For a drink that cost over $10 with tax, I was hoping for more in terms of flavor. It's a nice spot for aesthetics and service, but I probably wouldn't order this drink again. read more
I'm always looking for a new cafe to try, but as we all know, trendy spots can be hit or miss. I've been seeing BON! pop up on my feed A LOT & everything looked too good, to not try. So, they're located right by the State House & their prices are definitely on the higher side, but to be honest, very similar to Starbucks' prices, ~$6-7 for 16oz iced drink/12oz hot & ~$7-9 16oz iced/12 oz hot, & these prices don't reflect add ons + milk alternatives. I wished they had a better case for the baked goods + pastries, I feel like they could've displayed them a little better. Anywho, I ended up getting a large iced honey cinnamon latte $8.00 & a sweet cheese croissant $5.50 to try. The coffee was yummy, not too sweet, so it was right up my alley! The cheese croissant was pretty good, so I'd say I am pretty satisfied & pleased w/ my experience at Bon! Would come back again but probably not often since this area is super congested usually & parking can be tricky. read more
