Misugaru Red Bean
Isabella C.

WOW! Just wow!! I tried the misugaru ice parfait, which had layers of shaved ice, red bean, misugaru (soy bean powder), vanilla ice cream, and mochi. This was HUGE and definitely worth it. It wasn't too sweet, the ice cream had a strong vanilla flavor that paired nicely with the red bean. I'm so happy to have found a spot for korean shaved ice! The workers are friendly and my order came out quick. This is a casual spot with a lot of seating too!

Spinach Grilled Cheese
Grace V.

A book club I am a part of met here tonight and it was my first time going to this cafe. The inside was vibrant and cute. Lots of cool architecture! The spinach grilled cheese I had was absolutely to die for. Pretty reasonably priced too. I would definitely come back!

peach green tea Homemade Hazelnut Latte earl grey macaroon
Melissa T.

Such a nice cafe! Staff was super friendly and it's a great place to get some work done/study. The jazz music makes it feel cozy inside. Wifi is available and lots of tables and outlets. They also have a printer that you can use! Bathroom code is on the receipt. Right now they have a back to school promo deal happening! If you are a student and spend $15, you can get a free mug or tote bag. Earl Grey macaroon (7/10) - The flavor is strong so if you like Early Grey you might enjoy it. It was just a bit too sweet for my liking. I also wasn't that big a fan of the dried tea leaves that came on top of it. Peach Green Tea (9/10) The peach green tea 50% sweet was refreshing! I would get this again. Hazlnut Latte (6/10) Comes with bits of nuts in the drink. Not too strong of a flavor. It was more milky.

Lavender Latte
Vivian Y.

I loved this cafe in Korea so I was really happy to see it in Boston. I loved their shaved ice (bingsu) and honey bread desserts in Korea but I came here after a very large and filling dinner so opted to just get a warm drink. 5/5 for their misugaru latte. If you haven't had misugaru, it's a Korean roasted multigrain powder drink that has a sweet, nutty, cereal like flavor and texture. This drink feels like a warm hug and it was so yummy here. My friend had a lavender latte and found that it had good coffee flavor but was too sweet. No stars deducted for this since I didn't try it. The interior of the cafe is spacious, clean, quiet, and very welcoming. I saw many students studying and drinking/eating here. I'd recommend for drinks, dessert, snack, and a good place to hang out or get alone time.

Pre-theater stop, but a more popular hang for students and their computers. Ordered a $12 turkey "panini" (see photo and menu) that was really awful deli meat on toast. Counter person openly admitted that sandwiches weren't really paninis and that if they did have a press, it probably didn't work. Look elsewhere.

Strawberry ice parfait
Brooke C.

I went here specifically for the Strawberry ice parfait, and it did not disappoint! First of all, it was beautiful. The ice cream on top was so rich and delicious. The dessert was light and refreshing as a whole. It was huge so I'd recommend splitting it between at least 3 people (I was only with 1 other person and we couldn't finish it). I didn't love the red beans in there so next time I'd probably order it without them.

Mango shaved ice cream
Emily Y.

Their mango shaved ice is huge. Easily shareable and perfect for the summer. Mango chunks were fresh and the ice was milky flavored

Mango Yogurt Ice Parfait
Michelle T.

Cute cafe for studying or a dessert date! My friend and I got the mango yogurt ice parfait (highly recommend this!) It was soo delicious, comparable to the ones I got in Korea. They are very generous with the fresh mango chunks. We couldn't finish this on our own, I reccomend bringing a couple friends to devour this with!

Mango Yogurt bingsu
Grace S.

So good. classic korean bingsu, affordable for the quantity you get, quality is great. love going and sharing a bingsu with my friends. love the vibe and interior, always see people studying or working.

Angelina Z.

Nice place to work with ample seating and outlets. Drinks are sweet and the sandwiches are okay.

Green Tea ice parfait
Kelly Z.

Yummy! The perfect combination of boba and sandwich! The teriyaki chicken is perfectly toasted , chicken is super juicy and super flavorful. I love the cheese that's melted and the combination is sooo good. The boba milk tea was OK. The boba was a little chewy. The milk tea was good. The ice parfait was my favorite part, it's literally a big snow cone. Not too sweet and the flavor was yum. I wish they had more toppings on this one because after the whipped cream was done it was so much ice.

Shaved ice was huge and is very shareable for 2-4 people! Misugaru shaved ice had plenty of misugaru powder, Mochi & red beans.$13.45
Mia K.

Caffébene started in 2008 in Korea and is now an international coffeehouse chain with 81 stores. They serve medium roast coffee, Bingsoo Shaved ice, Desserts, Hot & Cold Beverages & Breakfast sandwiches. Love the asian flavors offered like Green tea, Black sesame, sweet potatoes & Injeolmi (roasted soy bean). $13.45 Shaved ice was huge and is very shareable for 2-4 people! Got the Misugaru shaved ice, asked for extra misugaru powder and they gave noticeably more. Appreciate that. It had plenty of sweetened red beans and Mochi (which were not as soft as it should be though). Seating Getting a seat can be a challenge. Came for a late night quick snack. Most of the seating was still occupied (looked like students) just before closing but luckily there was one empty table for us. Located -on the south corner of Massachusetts Ave & St St Botolph St

Mango Yogurt

Today was my first time at caffebene! My friend and I found it and wanted to give it a try, and it did not disappoint! We both got grilled cheeses (me the spinach and her the ham) and they were so yummy! We loved how they were waffle pressed! My friend also had a honeydew milk tea with lychee jelly, which was so delicious, and they gave so much jelly in it! Finally, we got the Mango Bingsu (Mango Yogurt Parfait) and this was INCREDIBLE! So yummy and refreshing and perfect for sharing. The music was also great and such cute decor and so much seating. Amazing place to study, hang w friends, and eat amazing food and treats! We will definitely be returning!

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 do not go out for coffee much anymore due to the convenience and cost effectiveness of a Breville and am often frustrated paying over $5 for mediocre coffee, but flour cafe was not in this boat.

Even better was the fact that these drinks were served by someone with a warm spirit and smile.. hard to get great service these days. Also, I am not eating flour until March but my wife said the ham and cheese croissant was incredible: generous portion of ham and cheese, baked to perfection, and not too bread(y). This is a great place to stop (in a beautiful residential area too).

I went in around 1PM and the place was literally PACKED! Not sure what the 100+ people there were having - but they were camped out, laptops in hand, having extended social hours with cups in front of them. Maybe it's the ambiance, maybe the wifi is ridiculously fast, maybe the food is better....not sure - but there is absolutely no way these people were there for the coffee (or hot chocolate).

It is the cutest place ever, from their squirrel mascot, to the fireplace on each floor, to the windows on each end of the rooms that lit the rooms with sunlight, it truly had such a relaxing vibe. I loved the decor and how they converted the house into 4 stories of epic cuteness galore! Each floor had different genres of books, with the top floor (5th) housing the staff only area. The 4th floor has the children's/young adult books and I love how there are so many fun elements there, from the train that goes around the top by the ceiling, to the small red door that I think it just there for decoration? Unless it leads to some magical other part of the building... lol The ground level has a cafe and offers typical cafe food like sandwiches, soups and salads, but I think their specialty is breakfast/brunch items as well as afternoon tea.
