Cute coffee shop in the Everett neighborhood. Barista was helpful. Ample parking right out front. I ordered a large dirty hot chai for $8 and I'm happy with my purchase. I didn't get to try any food but my friend said it can be hit or miss. Give it a shot if you're in the area. My hot chai was good. read more

I also ordered a breakfast burrito that was poorly wrapped that it was already ripped before I could take it out of the box, walked out and then had to walk back in for a cheese danish that they forgot to give me.

The following review is based on experiences before the COVID-19 pandemic: I had the pleasure of eating here on my last trip to Boston and this was my final meal in the area. I'm glad that I was able to stop by this small restaurant, despite the somewhat uncomfortable seating, simple decor, and somewhat limited parking. The friendly employees were knowledgeable about the food and provided some nice suggestions for a good meal. The coffee is fairly strong and smooth, not really bitter. The everything omelette and western omelettes were both cooked well with fresh veggies. The grilled chicken panini was prepared nicely with a good crisp on the bread, and a good amount of cheese to tie the fresh tomato and flavorful chicken together. The coconut muffin is quite thick and firm almost like a macaron but not too sweet. Simple items such as scrambled eggs, sausage, and roasted potatoes were also prepared well with the expected flavors and textures. Overall, the food presentation is nice, prices very good, and portions large. I'd eat here again on my next trip out to Boston. read more

Okay. The food here is good! Don't get me wrong, they make everything very tasty and SEASONED. Which I appreciate. But I think with time and as they've expanded they've lost the quality control. I used to get these HUGE cheesy breakfast sandwiches here and now at times I feel like they forget the cheese. Aside from the price increase (damn you inflation/pandemic!) I've requested avocado on my sandwiches like 3 separate occasions and since I order online, I have to pay for the extra avocado and they NEVER have avocado. I literally spend $10 for a breakfast sandwich for it to be not as cheesy and no avocado. They keep saying they're not ripe, the avocados. So take it off the menu???? Stop charging me for it and not adding it??? I've gone three different times, weeks apart & still. No change. Also, wish the online ordering would allow more toppings on regular bagels that are not breakfast sandwiches. I may be the only weirdo that likes this, but I can't even add bacon to my cream cheese bagel. If I'm willing to pay for it, can't y'all do it? You guys only let me pay for imaginary avocado, but forbid I add bacon to a cream cheese bagel? Nutso. read more

Needed a break from the free continental hotel breakfast and found this place nearby. I was pleasantly surprised at how yummy the everything omelet was. It was a very generous portion that filled 1/2 the plate and it came with a side of potatoes. I appreciated that they served it piping hot. I could only finish 1/2 the omelet and had the rest for lunch. Also enjoyed the iced latte. It wasn't busy on a Saturday morning and found parking easily in the front. read more

It is a quick stop for breakfast place. I ordered latte and it was not very milky. It was more of a coffee with milk. The chocolate croissant was a bit too sweet. The avocado toast was okay but nothing fancy, just two toast and avocado. The place seems pretty popular. The parking was right outside the building.

I was in the area and was looking for a quick break, so I decided to stop here. I was pleasantly surprised by my time here! I got a ham, egg, and cheese on sourdough and a large specialty hot coffee for less than $9. The coffee was bold and the sandwich was great! They have another location 2 minutes away, so I will definitely need to check out that location next. There was seating outside and inside. The person at the counter was super nice and friendly. The atmosphere here was relaxing; it was connected directly to the Pioneer apartments building, so it did feel a bit like a hotel breakfast lounge. I do wish that the bread was a little fresher - it seemed like they use store bought breads - but that was the only thing I wish was different. read more

Italian Sub: $20 for a foot long, the meat was so plentiful it's almost overflowing, enough for two meals. The prisciutto was tender and juicy; the salami was firm and savory with a strong smokiness. Both are thinly sliced, so despite the thick stack, it was relatively easy for a bite. The provolone cheese was also generously portioned, with a robust yet not spicy flavor and a subtle nutty aroma, perfectly complementing the two meats. The olive oil and balsamic vinegar were particularly outstanding: mellow, tangy, and with a fruity aroma of grapes, key to the complex flavor profile. The lettuce, tomatoes, and onions were all fresh, especially the onions were refreshing and a little zingy, perfect for removing the greasiness. Unfortunately, I was worried about not being able to roll it back up properly and making it inconvenient to carry (which it actually happened), so I took it away and ate it at the office.

I've also gotten the eggplant parm before, and the fettuccini Alfredo. Both were also delicious.

Everything is incredibly reasonably priced, especially for the quality. I ordered the Italiano, and it was only $11 and packed with fresh ingredients and full of flavor. I was surprised there wasn't a line when we stopped by around 3:30 p.m. on a Saturday, which made it even better. If you're in the area and craving a great Italian sandwich, this spot is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back!

With the Santana's Breakfast, I was served two large pancakes! One would have been more than enough! Besides the American toast offerings, there are many Brazilian breads and pastries to accompany whatever you're having. Other than breakfast, I have enjoyed the pão de queijo, the sandwiches, a burger and most often, the coconut breads! It's hard to leave Santana's without a treat of some kind to have later....The bakery products are gorgeous! Also, the staff are very sweet, attentive, patient and hard-working. There are long lines sometimes and as another reviewer suggested, they should have a pick-up line for people who have ordered ahead. That said, the women really move fast and the lines do, too!

Richie's Retail Slush & Food

The word "Slush" on Richie's store sign in Everett, MA- less than 20 mins from Boston, was enough…read moreto make my husband do a double-take while running errands with our daughter. This turned out to be just what he needed. The turquoise outside with pink pops, down to their patio that looks almost like cotton candy, caught my eye too. On a brutal hot day, everyone was on the same grind- cool down or tap out. Kids, grown folks, anybody and everybody wanted a piece of Richie's Ice cream, thick shakes, slushies, Icees- whatever hit cold and fast. Hubs is a straight-up lemon Icee fan so no question there. Me? I had my sights locked on a chocolate Icee. Hubs' so-called 'small' lemon icee was massive. No complaints from him because he was in his happy place. Meanwhile, I'm over here realizing chocolate's not even made here. I guess I've been spoiled by NYC joints like Mike's Italian Ice or the Lemon Ice King, where chocolate's a given. Plan B had to come through. But hey, hubs was living his best lemon life and that's a win right there.

Parking is tough if it's busy, but otherwise you literally just pull over in front of the area and it works. They have a cute seating area next to the ordering stand and it feels very retro - neonish decor and turf. The menu is huge - tons of slushes, ice cream options, and even hot foods. We shared a mangonada (two of us) and it was huge - the price I felt was pretty fair for what we got and the taste was great. An awesome mix of flavors and the cup itself came out super fast - good service! Overall, I will definitely be coming by again sometime when I'm in the area again - while I am an ice cream fan mostly, I think their slush was great and I can't wait to try other flavors.

This place. Great place? Or the greatest place? Definitely the latter. Fortunately, a fellow coffee snob pointed me to this place and I got to enjoy the friendly service and a delicious chai. The prices are unbeatable as is the selection. Perhaps the best thing about this place aside from the coffee is the freshness of the food. Everything here is prepared to order. If you manage to see the back of the house, you'll see exactly what I mean. What other coffee shop prepares food on stove top and has its own deli slicer for sandwiches? Perhaps the only downside (that doesn't deserve a knock of a star) is its hard to notice. I frequent the parkway and didn't even notice this place until a friend mentioned it. Also worth keeping in mind the place is very cozy and small, so I wouldn't bring 10+ people with me intending to sit inside. Good to see fellow yelpers feel the same way! I hope they do well and expand, because this type of quality service, product, and prices are impossible to come by. read more

I really need to make a habit of coming here more if it wasn't such a rough commute for me. I love this place. I love the options, the foods, the gorgeous brazilian goddess and coffee master behind the counter. Everything. The vanilla chai? TO DIE FOR. Don't waste your time at the dunks down the street. Stop here, get a drink, grab a bite, take a load off, flirt with the barista, daydream, and go home. The prices are very reasonable. I hope they open up a shop closer to me though :( I'd live there if I could. read more

I completely understand adjusted holiday hours, but the interaction from the moment I walked in was incredibly uncomfortable. All three employees immediately exchanged looks when I entered, and before I could even properly order, one employee abruptly told me, "We only have iced coffee." Trying to remain pleasant, I asked which iced coffee they recommended and was told the s'mores coffee, so I ordered that. I had originally wanted a breakfast sandwich as well, but because of the atmosphere and the clear feeling that my presence was unwelcome, I decided not to order anything that required preparation. Instead, I asked which baked item they recommended since those were already pre-made, and they suggested the banana bread. Unfortunately, both items were disappointing. The coffee was honestly one of the worst I've had -- extremely watered down with virtually no chocolate or s'mores flavor whatsoever. The banana bread may appeal to some people, but it contained walnuts, which I personally dislike. Normally I would have chosen something else, but I felt somewhat pressured to order quickly and leave. What bothered me most, however, was not the food or drink quality but the service. I worked as both a barista and server throughout high school and college, so I fully understand the frustration of customers arriving shortly before closing. Still, there is a professional way to handle that situation, and this experience felt openly hostile and dismissive. I never leave negative reviews, but this interaction genuinely stayed with me for weeks afterward. It's unfortunate because there are limited breakfast options in the area, and I had initially hoped this would become a place I'd return to. Instead, the experience made me feel unwelcome from start to finish.
