I got the chicken taragon sandwich, and it was absolutely fantastic!! Definitely get it toasted because that delicious crunch of the bread with the perfectly balanced chicken and cranberries, it is soooo good!

Very disappointing. Ordered 2 drinks and will not be back for them:…read more 1. golden steamer (Baudelaire milk, turmeric, and cinnamon), which was very bland and flavorless. 2. hot chocolate - said they made it with while milk, but it tasted like 90%water and 10% milk. Yikes. When ordering the hot chocolate, I basically asked them to use their chocolate- hazelnut syrup (they serve it with coffee, cake nocciobello). The person that took my order said that she'd "try to ask, but can't promise". I'm not sure I underage the great complexity... Lastly, I HATE it that they don't have real mugs (only available if you order small size). Not sure why we need to drink from plastic - very not sustainable and unhealthy too.

What a delight. This coffee place was a few blocks from our Airbnb and was a logical stop to…read morecaffeinate on our final Boston morning this past Monday, which was rainy and not the best. My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I stopped by around 10am, and the place was jumping. The vibe in here (an important feature of a coffeehouse) is just truly excellent. It reminded me of an English cottage, though maybe at least that was partially due to the weather. It's very cozy with a lot of ye olde wood vibes, and quite a few horse homages throughout. This is pretty close to a few colleges so it's unsurprising that the vast majority of other patrons were clearly revving up before class or writing a paper or something. The one arguable knock to the interior is that the seating is pretty limited. We had to wait for our items, which ended up giving us time to wait for space to open up near the counter. There's also an outdoor area that had a lot of seating availability and could have been used in a pinch, but it never came to that. Honestly? Wouldn't change a thing. We got a few treats to ingest here. I was hankering for some carbs and went for bacon egg and cheese on a toasted everything bagel, which might be my naughty breakfast go-to going forward. It was delicious and really hit the spot. Just perfectly done. I also grabbed a lemon iced scone, which unfortunately I didn't have much of an appetite for after my bagel sandwich carnage, so I had to settle for nipping at it on our afternoon drive home. Was still excellent - love a good iced or sugar-encrusted scone, and this met the occasion. Moist and not too crumbly. To whet (and wet) the palate, I also got a strawberry latte, which was decent. I really respected the service here. The women behind the counter were pretty slammed throughout our visit, and I thought my chum was a LITTLE high maintenance during the ordering process, but they handled her with aplomb and didn't bat an eye when she belatedly created a second order after prematurely ending the first. They had a lot to do back there and nothing suffered as a result - clearly well managed and streamlined operation here. We also really liked the quotes on the walls. I don't know if all of the wall space was dedicated to it, but it was very prevalent in our area by the door/counter. Nice mixture of inspirational shizzle with some naughty Instagram handles. Really cool, special place.

I absolutely love this spot! It's one of the most unique and neighborly cafes in all of Boston! The…read morestaff is kind, the people are joyous, the atmosphere is calming, and truly everything about it just takes you out of the hustle and bustle of the city and into a quaint countryside-esque world full of comfort and warmth. Aside from the excellent environment, Farmer's Horse also has some excellent food and drinks that feel both homey and satisfying but also elevated and satisfying! For Boston, the prices are quite low as well, and you definitely get what you pay for. They have an assortment of tasty pastries as well as an impressively extensive menu considering the small space. As a california native, I was very impressed with their breakfast burrito and highly recommend it! It's not quite like how california does it, but it's pretty darn good in its own right. I love the simple yet fresh flavors, and it kept me full all day long for only $9 (w/ modifications)! This spot is a MUST try if you're looking for some calming and refreshing vibes or somewhere nice and relaxing to work!

A true homage to the hit TV show friends, you'll walk in and feel like you already know your way around. And you'll even find Central Perk sweaters for sale and a wide television behind playing episodes of Friends! There are seating options both outside and inside, but I didn't have trouble finding a place to sit & camp for about half an hour. Service was chill. You can tell they're used to customers being in awe of the aesthetic. I'm sure they're all used to being busy. One thing I appreciated is that no matter how busy the counter was, there was always someone around cleaning tables expeditiously for new visitors. I ordered their seasonal red sangria, but they have plenty of other options [(red/white) sangria, food, beer, and of course coffee].

Grabbed coffee from here recently! It isn't like a traditional coffee shop- they have 3 options…read more Iced coffee, hot coffee, or espresso. Which honestly, I liked not having 100 options to pick from. For context, I like dessert coffee. Basically coffee that doesn't taste like coffee. That being said, there were no dessert coffee choices, so I got the hot coffee with a little bit of sugar. It was amazing. I LOVED it. That's the coffee that makes me want to get into coffee and try other amazing ones. The service was pretty quick too- we got a hot coffee and an iced one. Which another thing- only ~$6 for 2 cups of coffee?! Don't see that too often in boston anymore.. This is more of a spice shop and they have a massive selection of spices and coffee beans. I will definitely be back for more coffee, and for some spice shopping! Overall I highly recommend, it's a nice store and their coffee beats out Dunkin by a mile!

Great for catching up with friends, working (free Wi-Fi), or just grabbing a drink/baked goods to go. We came in late morning on a weekend, and all the savory bakery items were sold out, but the apple bear claw looked so good that we would have gotten it anyway. It was flaky, sweet, and topped with powdered sugar. We also tried their matcha latte and regular latte, both iced with oat milk. The matcha was such a deep green color--so vibrant. I had it sweetened with agave, and it was really nice. The coffee latte was easily the best I've had in the Eagle Hill/Maverick area of Eastie. The staff was very enthusiastic and happy to help with any questions. Pricing for two lattes and a bakery item came to about $20. There's street parking available. The decor is really cute, with coffee bean art/details and sketches on the walls of cats making coffee. Really excited that this place opened up!

The coffee is easily some of the best I've had in a long time, and the service was genuinely exceptional.

It's rare to find a place that gets both the food and hospitality right, but Phin Coffee House does. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Cambridge. 10/10.
