We grabbed our drinks and sat in the sunroom and somehow stayed for what felt like hours because the space is so cozy and welcoming. The sunroom has tons of seating and floor-to-ceiling windows with big sliding glass doors, so it's incredibly bright. I can already tell it'll be amazing in the spring and summer when the doors are open and the breeze comes through. The staff were fantastic. The guy working was really friendly and conversational, and we chatted with him while ordering which made the whole experience feel really personable. I got a hot caramel latte and my friend got a hot matcha latte and both were really good. We saw a lot of people ordering food and everything looked amazing, so I definitely want to come back and try breakfast. Overall it feels like a little gem in East Boston and I'll definitely be back.

The plantains inside with the plantain chips on the side is perfect for summer. Their latte is tasty and I recently had one of the gourmet lattes. They offer it in both iced and hot. While it is tasty and unique I think getting it in iced version is not worth it but totally worth getting the hot version. The latte itself isn't overly sweet which is nice. Really nice atmosphere in both seating areas. Only con is the outdoor patio is enclosed with no AC so it gets way too hot in there. The indoor seating is smaller but temperature controlled. The staff is very friendly.

Highly recommend checking it out if you want some good food.

TLDR: I only came to try the maple cruller, and BOY did it…read moredeliver. I'm no cruller expert, but I think folks might be right when they all say this is the best one in the game. Would come back just for this cruller, and am willing to try their other items now that I know what they're capable of. ------ FOOD: 1. [MUST TRY] MAPLE CRULLER (5/5) As good as everyone says it is. The exterior is so satisfyingly crispy, but the interior has the exact right soft, eggy consistency that defines the cruller. The maple glaze is definitely very sweet, but somehow it actually works well with the fried dough such that it's not overpowering. Maple is their most popular flavor, but they also have other flavors and monthly specials to try. 2. DRIP COFFEE Perfectly fine drip coffee. The mugs they give you are smaller than their to-go cups, so probably opt for your coffee to-go, especially if you plan to go on a little stroll after accidentally eating 6 crullers for breakfast... ------ ENVIRONMENT / AMBIANCE: * A large, spacious cafe that had a NY, tiled environment mixed with a more laidback Tatte vibe * More seating inside than I thought there would be (though a mix of individual tables, a communal high top, counter seats by the window, and tables outside) * One design issue though is that the ordering counter is right at the front door, meaning there's actually very little space for the line and so on bad weather days, you might be caught waiting outdoors under the elements vs. indoors. I'm sure there are some days where the line naturally forms inside, but the way the space is designed does not make that easy

My friend got the breakfast burrito and said it was very good as well. Its counter service and the line was not that bad when we showed up, so service was pretty quick. There were lots of available seating options and I really enjoyed the vibe. It was definitely a little pricey, but I would much rather prefer to come somewhere local like this than other chain breakfast/sandwich places. I would love to come back and try the dinner and get some drinks! Seems like it would be a fun place to go in the evening as well.

The place inside is cute. They only serve food at certain hours. Prices are expensive. $13 for a waffle. It was overdone. Flavor was good though. I spent $2 on 4 blueberries and a raspberry and blackberry- that was a rip off.

Since I was in Boston, I definitely needed a slice of Boston creme pie. It was delicious! I would love to try their coffees and other pastries next time I come by :) Lines get long for lunch and things do sell out quickly so plan on either waiting or coming a bit earlier. There is seating upstairs and downstairs but it does get filled pretty quickly.

Therefore, there were groups clamoring for the few tables that were inside. However, service was very friendly and the food options were delicious. Pastries and breakfast sandwiches are standouts and I particularly liked the avocado toast - a large portion avocado on very good bread with a variety of accompaniments. Pricing was reasonable and it's helpful to be able to order at the kiosk but as first timers it made it slightly confusing. We sat upstairs and it helped make things more relaxing as it was less crowded and plenty of room. I think this location is serving the hospital so I suspect it's always very busy.
