Food, restaurant manager and staff are great! The coffee is excellent too. Breakfast sandwich is excellent too. Restaurant is super clean. The locals love this place and frequent it regularly. Also, State House leaders and employees frequent this restaurant too. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

We walked to this coffee house every morning for breakfast and it didn't get old. Great food and a great value! Friendly staff made everything fresh and hot. I highly recommend them if you're staying close by! read more

I sit here early one morning and I must say a few things: 1. I can be grumpy and a snob sometimes... and the character of this place got me in the heart. I arrived around 6:00 am on a Monday and as somebody who worked in food service, I always noticed the way employees clean and how careful and diligent they are with food prep. This place would put any place I managed to shame!! My visit began when I ordered a coffee and a tea and the owner seemed a bit perplexed, but he brought them over promptly. I sit here at the bar on my laptop and I am the only patron here and I have developed a fondness of how careful and diligent the gentlemen who run this establishment are! There is not a chair, hair, or slice of bread out of place. The bucket that they clean the tables and sinks with is steaming as I watch, everything is prepared in sight! (Sometimes when a place is not so clean, I do not wish to see how things are prepared but for this place, the customer can feel confident in the food safety and the owner's diligence and attention to detail!). This place isn't fancy in the way that Starbucks or even maybe Dunkin is... They have their fancy cups and stoppers in the drinks... and you won't get that here but you also won't get corner cutting! You WILL get character, warmth, and friendliness in the service, high-quality food prepared FRESH! Thank you! I wish there was a bonus star that I could assign ... but alas, I do not have one. I would note but the breakfast sandwich was hot and yummy!! read more

Capitol Coffee House - two menus on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Completely disappointing. went to this coffee house for breakfast with my girlfriend, and I wasn't expecting to get poor service, especially with this location being near the state house. once I enter the establishment, the person at the front desk did greet us, which was somewhat welcoming, but they were very hesitant because me and my girlfriend are people of color. I ordered the capital breakfast meal and my girlfriend ordered a croissant toasted with cheddar cheese and bacon as she is allergic to eggs. We then proceeded to sit down at the counter to wait for our food because we are dining in . We sat down for about three minutes and was told we have to pay for our food first before we get it. Which I thought was odd. Meanwhile, there are two other customers in the establishment. One customer was almost finished with his meal. My girlfriend and I noticed when he was done and got up, then he went to go pay for his food..!!! so how is it that he got his food first without paying for it but we have to pay for our food before we get ours!!!!... here's the kicker we were served on paper plates...eating utensils were plastic...!!! this place is prejudice and racist!!! the food was horrible!!! I will not recommend going to this establishment..!!! my rating : five thumbs down!!!! read more

Hubs said my hot chocolate was a Swiss Miss packet. It was fine cuz it was undrinksbly hot which was good once it cooled down, Glad they were here cuz we needed a place to sit and get something to drink after walking upwards to find Beacon Hill. Pretty much a solid, stoic coffee shop. I witnessed you probably need to be a regular saying ciao to get a smile out of the gentleman behind the counter, It served its purpose for us then we were on our way to discover Acorn Street. read more

Food is good - it's a classic greasy spoon place. Unfortunately, the staff is unnecessarily rude. This one of those places where they act like you're out of line for having the audacity to enter their restaurant and pay them money!! Consequently, i only eat here when i have no other options. read more

Capitol Coffee House is a little corner spot directly across the street from the side of the State House. It has a great view of the street and the Capitol. We came there for a reasonably priced breakfast, and we were not disappointed! I had the Italian Omelette which came with homestyle potatoes and toast. It was one of the better breakfasts I had in Boston! It seems like there are a lot of regulars who stop in and chat, which was a great aspect in my opinion. Anyplace that has repeat customers is a good choice! I recommend the window seats as they have the best view of what's happening on Beacon Hill. read more

This was a great spot to grab breakfast after dropping off my luggage. I got their turkey egg sandwich with pepperjack cheese and a hot chocolate. They use paper plates and the place exudes efficiency and reliability as well as kindness. I sat at the counter facing the windows outside and enjoyed my sandwich and drink, it was just what I needed that morning. read more

During my quick visit to Boston I stumbled across this coffee house. While I appreciate how quick the food came out and how cleanly they are, I felt as if they were short and a bit rude to everyone who came in besides the regulars. They barely said anything or even acknowledged my presence when I would have appreciated even a slight hello or something. Maybe it's because I work with a lot of customers but it's just the lack of friendliness that is offsetting. read more

Rented a room at The Parker House for a 3 day buzz of downtown Boston. Needed a place for a simple breakfast before heading to the airport. It is a locals joint. Everyone on a first name basis with the staff. But the counter man was polite and enthusiastic. Kelley had a breakfast scramble with pancakes which she pronounced as "the fluffiest and best I have ever eaten".fresh blueberries too. I had an excellent omelette. Good strong coffee to keep us awake on the way to Logan. Recommended. read more

Less "coffee house" and more short order. Located right across from the Ashburton entrance to the Capitol, this place is a little bit less "coffee house" and tilts a little bit more towards "diner." It's far from fancy. This is the spot to grab a quick bite and stick to the simple stuff. I got a coffee (Do they have latte here? Maybe, but probably not and definitely not your mocchachino.) with a breakfast bagel sandwich. Efficient, quick and not special. But good. No complaints here. Capitol Coffee House gets it done. read more

Don't go to Dunkin' around the corner. Go to Capitol Coffee House instead. (Trust me, you'll thank me.) CCH's coffee is stronger, cheaper, and yummier. Their food is diner/deli style; don't expect anything healthy here, but it's real food, cooked real fast, right in front of you. Love the vibe of locals. An authentic (and delicious) gem in Boston! read more

Great little place right near Suffolk University! We will be back for sure when visiting our daughter at school. I had pancakes and bacon and my wife had a couple fried eggs with sausage. Prices were very reasonable and food was ready very quickly. Overall a solid breakfast place! read more

This place was on the corner by my friend's place so we swung by without a second thought. It turned out to be surprisingly good. I got a croissant breakfast sandwich and to be honest, it was so good that I could have had 2. If you're hungry and wandering around Beacon Hill, this place is as good as the other higher rated ones in the area. read more

Very disappointing way to start a day. My iced caramel latte was literally ice, syrup, sugar, creamer, and a dash of coffee. It was so nasty and sweet that I couldn't finish it and had a sugar crash. Their food items are very mediocre, but if that's what gets you through the day until you have an actual decent meal, go for it, I guess? Hard pass, for me. read more

Fine for what it is...a basic diner. Sit at the counter and watch. Watch the family interact. Listen for some Italian. Enjoy watching a short-order cook work his magic. What they lack in culinary genius, they compensate for in social study (something I enjoy and find value in.) Not the most amazing coffee/breakfast spot, but better than ordering a donut, egg and sausage breakfast sandwich at Dunkin' Donuts around the corner. 3.49 stars Buon appetito...fuggetaboutit! read more

Ok last day in Boston area. Needed a good inexpensive place to get my morning going. Found CCH! This place reminds me of many low key dinners that serve great food. The only thing is it's not all shiny or has a menu that reads like war & peace. What it has is a very good menu selection of breakfast faves and options for all day dining. This place deserves to be on DD&D, it's right up there with many of the places they go to. Don't expect china plates or coffee mugs. Don't expect a Beacon Hill experience. It's way better without all the over pretentious hype and cost. But you will get paper plates and paper cups. You will also get a solid breakfast made quickly and with care. Get an omelet or breakfast sandwich or better yet get the eggs, with choice of meat & pancakes. It's simple food made right. The staff is great offering friendly service right from the start. You will enjoy this meal and bookmark CCH as must stop for your next trip to Boston. read more

Great, quick place. Lots on the menu and they'll make your morning coffee exactly how you ask. Nice guys working behind the counter always remember friendly faces! I appreciate this place being around and think it's great stop to make. read more

Disappointed that I've been working in the area and few months ago discovered this place. Really good breakfast!

Fast service, well seasoned Italian omelet, crispy home fries, and sweet/blonde coffee made to order. Had trouble finding a small business open near my hotel but I took a walk up the Hill and was happy to find this place. Great views of the Capitol out their picture windows. Tip: ask for less butter on the toast:) read more

We needed a quick bite for breakfast before our adventure in Boston. When you walk in you will notice a visible diner looking counter and about 8 guys hanging out behind it. Help yourself to a seat, look over the short menu and order something. Most of the guys behind the counter are Italian. Chatting away about soccer and at the time we were there, the WC. We kept it basic. Coffee, ham/cheese grilled sandwich, a couple of eggs, home fries and toast. You cannot beat their cheap prices. The food was actually decent. Made quickly and with a little love. Their coffee was average. Don't expect a lot from this place and you will leave happy. It's not meant to be a ritzy breakfast place. Worth a quick stop in for a bite prior to heading out to see beautiful Boston. read more

No vegan options--the wait staff was a little rude and didn't know what that meant either, so it'll be risky to go there with the expectation that you can substitute things. Best to avoid if taking someone out for lunch if you don't know their dietary preferences. read more

I go to this place around once or twice a week. Amazing spot for a BEC or egg and cheese. The prices are unbeatable and it has such an authentic feel. The people working here seem so kind, like they would invite me over to their house for dinner if I didn't have enough to eat. This place better stay in business for decades. read more

Didn't want to eat at the hotel, so I searched for a neighborhood coffee shop. This place is definitely family owned and there is no frills here. They use disposable plates and utensils and not much in wait service. However, the food is hot and fast. Ordered the pancakes, eggs, sausage links and potatoes. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the potatoes, which I felt were a little undercooked. Would have preferred a little more browning, but that's a personal taste. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g60745-d322164-r349971337-Capitol_Coffee_House-Boston_Massachusetts.html# read more

Capitol Coffee House - breakfast platter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The one server was nice and very friendly. The food was okay- very simple and plain, I suppose it's worth the value you are paying. I am giving it 2 stars because of the amount of disposable (one time use) plastic and STYROFOAM they use as cups, plates, and utensils. What a disgrace at this day and age to use products that increase the amount of landfill we have instead of trying to make an effort to decrease it. Very disappointing. read more

Came looking for pancakes and was not disappointed, 3 huge chocolate chip pancakes for a really good price and good coffee too

Best croissant breakfast sandwich I've ever had, and it's my go to anywhere. Croissant, bacon, white American cheese all perfect. Sugar free vanilla latte also perfect. The staff was nice to me but a few of them were rude to one of their own staff members and that wasn't right in my eyes. Especially when the environment is open to customers. read more
