    Croque Monsieur
    Muriel D.

    Dishes were phenomenal as always. The service was so nice (we has to swap our order and they were so understanding and nice about it). Went in around 10:30am on a Saturday, not tooo busy but got a bit more busy by 11am. Beautiful interior.

    This place screams elegance loudly. The staff is very friendly, the food is delicious and the ambiance for a cafe is impeccable. Have been here twice now and everything I've tried is tasty. Will definitely be a returning customer time and time again.

    Beautiful cafe with European vibes. I visited this cafe for lunch and by 1pm the pastries were mostly sold out. Luckily the cardamom bun was still available. I enjoyed the soft delicately flavored bread along with the delicious kale salad. That kale salad was filled with a variety of textures and flavors and topped with different spreads. So good that I would come back just for that salad and to try different pastries!

    Elephantine Egg Sandwich, Cardamom Latte

    This was my second time trying Elephantine, and this time I'd give it a 5 instead of a 4! Last time I went it was amazing, but this time I enjoyed it so much more. Maybe it is because the place has been open for a longer time now - the first time I went, it was still relatively new. My dad and I ordered the Turkish Poached Eggs and the Egg Sandwich and split them, and both were so delicious and bursting with flavor. I also drank the cardamom honey latte, which was so yummy - definitely better than the last time I went. The ambience is gorgeous and very comfortable - we stayed for a few hours since it's such a nice vibe. It feels chic, sophisticated, and aesthetic without feeling stuffy. The service was great - the servers were so friendly and our orders came out quick. I really loved Elephantine and will definitely return again!

    This is such a cute little bakery. The chocolate almond croissant and cinnamon roll were tasty. It was enough to share between two people. I enjoyed their cardamon honey latte. It gets very busy here, so finding a table for more than two might be difficult.

    Came here on a Sunday morning to try their scone! Got a seat right before it got very busy and there was no space left Lived the scone, cherry inside and drizzled with dark chocolate. Crispy but soft in the centre. Cortado was great too! I'd say it's a nice place to work on a weekday when it isn't as busy and you don't feel under pressure to free up your seat. Will be back to try the cardamom bun and pistachio croissant!

    Pistacchio croissant and Cappuccino
    Ludovica F.

    Delicious pastries and well crafted cappuccinos! The one downside to this otherwise incredible bakery is the lack of available seating: my friend and I had to fight the other patrons like sharks to find a spot at 11:00 AM on a Sunday! Perhaps they should add more tables, at least on the weekend!

    Turkish Poached Eggs
    Angelina R.

    Elephantine is a remarkable bakery/cafe! There's absolutely nothing like it anywhere else in Boston, and its spot just along water adds to its chic, calming, and charming atmosphere. The interior has a wide variety of seating and is very spacious even during peak ours. The staff is friendly, fast serving, and professional making the experience feel almost like a restaurant or just a very nice cafe you'd find straight out of Paris! And the pastries of food transport you to Europe just as easily- their dessert case up front is filled with masterfully crafted, delicate pastries with beautiful sounding flavors. And their breakfast lunch menu is stacked! They offer such unique dishes, like their turkish poached eggs which are unmatched in flavor and freshness. While this spot is a little pricey, the food delivers on quality, taste, presentation, portion size, and really everything. I WILL be back to try the rest of their menu. This spot is excellent for going solo to get work done or sitting down with friends and family for a nice bite to eat. I highly recommend, you can't miss it!

    Went for the Apertivo, I've been to the cafe as well but feel like everyone at this point knows how successful they are as a cafe. The menu is small and we had 6 dishes total including a dessert. Vibes were A+ beginning to end with flowers at each table. Definitely an Italian slant on the menu but the standout was the prosciutto and chips. One of those things that seems like a super easy dish but is a perfect combo of flavors and was pulled off excellently. Had a few of the wines as well and appreciate that they were a little unique compared to the typical cab sav/sauv blanc house wines. Was there in the winter will have to check it out with warmer weather for sure.

    Chocolate pistachio croissant (so good!)
    Vidhika B.

    Gosh this is easily one of my new favorite spots. The color scheme, the friendly staff, the yummy food, the good lattes, the excellent pastries, the location -- what's not to love?! I tried the cilbir for breakfast and really enjoyed it (the green herb topping was especially flavorful). The chocolate pistachio croissant is at risk of becoming something I crave on the regular. And my mocha was on point too. Have already raved about it to a few people and I absolutely plan to be back.

    First meal in Boston of this trip. We were intrigued by the pictures and reviews in Yelp. So our party of three walked 20 minutes from our hotel to there for lunch. The interior was spacious and decorated European style, including the bathrooms. We ordered 3 sandwiches and 3 baked to share. Everything were absolutely delicious. We were really impressed with the bread and fresh proteins. We tried the toffee cookie for our desert and we were blown away. Possibly the best tasting cookie ever. When I returned to the counter to buy a half dozen, all gone already . Also everything came on nice looking plates. Counter service was very friendly and efficient. All the ladies were constantly smiling. Price were exceptionally fair for such high quality foods. We will attempt a return before we fly out.

    As soon as you walk into the cafe, you feel like you've been transported out of Fort Point! The decor is stunning, and I loved the fresh floral arrangements. Service was fast and friendly. The menu was kind of hard to read due to the cursive font that is used. From an accessibility standpoint, they should consider using a more simple font like the one that states what pastries they have. They have a large assortment of sweet treats and pastries. It's really hard to choose just one. I chose the lemon ricotta danish. For lunch, I ordered the eggplant sandwich. The flavors were bold and unique. It was a little bit hard to eat cause the eggplant was falling out but nonetheless very tasty. I wish it had come with a side salad or a side of homemade chips. My friend had the croque madame and it looked good. For drinks I enjoyed a hibiscus iced tea and my friend had a London fog. Both were yummy. Also, I'm hoping they'll have a special pastry at some point - like cherry, guava, or mango!!!! I'll def be back! Next time you're in Fort Point/Seaport, stop by!

    My partner and I would make trips out to NH for Elephantine. We were so excited for it to open in Seaport. First off, the service was impeccable. The Maître d' that greeted us, sweet Egyptian man whose name escapes me, made the entire experience memorable and welcoming. Appertivo was so beautifully plated and the hot cup of chocolate was exactly how I remembered it. The food - olive oil was delicious. Ambiance was beautiful and plating was gorgeous. Highly recommend! I'll be back.

    When I'm on travel I love finding places with real, whole foods that don't make me feel like crap…read more I ordered from here every day. The prices are amazing for what you get :D The menu here is HUGE and has tons of options for customization. There are wraps, salads, smoothies, sandwiches, bowls, drinks - so many items to choose from! This place is located in the lobby of the Amazon Seaport Office. I got a Spicy Greek Breakfast Wrap ($13, +$1.50 for egg white sub) and a Santorini Sunrise Yogurt Bowl ($12). The portions are gigantic and the food is fresh. The Platters, both the breakfast and mezze are gorgeous. Pictures attached. The interior has ample seating and is bright and beautiful. They also prep your food impressively quickly given how many orders they seem to get! They get BUSY but I get why - the food is so good.

Ingredients are super fresh and tasty. I LOVE the pressed juices, they are a bit up there in price but the bottles are reusuables and a good size. You can also have juices pressed to order which come out tasting so so good. The menu is expanssivee. So far, I am a huge fan of the pita, hummus, labneh, anything with meat (smash burgers and brisket breakfast sando), and they have pretty decent mac. I'm excited to continue eating my way through their options. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. The restaurant is bright and bubbling. The servers are very kind and always helpful with menu questions. It can get quite busy but service moves quick. I have ordered ahead and ordered in person and never had an issue. If you are in a rush around lunch definitely do yourself a favor and order ahead. If you have time, the wait is never usually more than 10-15 mins and goes by quick. Also sign up for seaport insider to rack up some points ;)

First time in the Seaport area and treated myself to my go-to smoked salmon sandwich at Tatte. I enjoyed the combo of the umami salmon, capers, and creamy sauce with their fluffy eggs, avocado, and crunchy microgreens. For seasonal items, the summer corn bisque was creamy with just the right amount of seasoning and dill. The corn has a crunch and sometimes more of a chewiness with the intact skin (which I can see how some people may not be a fan of but I liked the textural contrast.) I also got their rose cold foam with the pistachio latte. The cold foam actually featured a nice floral, rosy flavor that complemented the pistachio nuttiness. The house tatte latte is another reliable go-to favorite of mine! As usual staff were nice and friendly. Food came out at a reasonable time given how busy it was. Again I love how consistent Tatte has been able to offer their yummy drinks and food across different locations in different cities throughout the years!

Partner ordered the Cheese Boureka "it was amazing, I loved the touch of sesame seed." I got the Pistachio latte, which was delicious. There were bits of Pistachio in it which was unique, and it was sweet but not too sweet, just perfect. The boureka was already sitting in the glass cases so that came right away, and my latte only took a minute or two.

I had one of their seasonal lattes and an empanada. While the empanada had great flavor, it was very soggy and not a traditional empanada texture. The latte was okay, but it mostly tasted of oat milk. The bold espresso flavor did not really come through. I would visit again to try something else but off first impressions it wasn't my favorite.

We ordered two iced lattes both with oat milk but the staff didn't take names or any way to identify when your drink was ready. When they called out a drink that matched one of the ones we ordered, we grabbed it and took a sip but new it wasn't oat milk and the barista confirmed that was whole milk and might have been someone else's order even after handing the drink to us. Once we solved that hiccup, the iced lattes were nothing memorable and the espresso used paled in terms of flavor. I really wanted to like this spot especially given it is tucked into a local bookshop right in the Seaport but this visit was just okay.
