    Iced seasonal latte
    Henry V L.

    George Howell Coffee Was a surprise for me I got the iced seasonal latte with oat milk It was gingerbread flavored as I can reveal A sweet, smooth blend and almost taste like a cookie I must be a coffee connoisseur if you ask me The service was not as great as nobody was at the counter at the time when I ordered I even got a second order If it weren't for convenience I'd prob choose elsewhere The price was 8$ for a coffee and the service was not there

    I went here for the free matcha sample and had a great experience! These pop ups are advertised on eventbrite but it turns out you don't actually need a ticket, so just show up! It was sparkling pineapple matcha the day I went and it was delicious. The barista was very friendly and kind too.

    The coffee here was delicious! I had an iced vanilla and caramel latte with oat milk. This place is located inside the Boston Market Place. The service was excellent and they were very efficient. The Boston market is busy but it's a very chill vibe.

    Iced Matcha Latte

    This is my favorite matcha in Boston! If you love matcha, do yourself a favor and grab a cup while you're here. First off, I love this location! It's at the center of downtown Boston nestled in the cost Boston Public Market surrounded by other great food and product vendors. The service is typically quick and accommodating, plus they have a cute seating area in the corner for those who like to sit and sip when it's not too busy. As for the matcha itself, oh my god! It's smooth, it's creamy, it has a vibrant green color, a perfect milk to matcha ratio, and a powerful ceremonial grade matcha flavor. It is definitely on the more earthy side (which is exactly why I love it so much), but if you prefer it sweeter you can always make customizations. All in all, I've yet to find a more perfectly balanced and flavorful matcha latte in Boston so I definitely recommend stopping by one of their locations to try it!

    This will be a staple for me when visiting Boston. I got the iced latte with maple syrup. The portion between the whole milk, coffee, and syrup was blended perfectly. The service is fast and quick. There isn't a selection of food, but the coffee makes up for it. After getting your coffee you can walk around the public market.

    Not sure how to feel about this place. I got a small dirty iced chai with one shot of espresso and oat milk. It was $9. Pretty pricey for one small drink and it was on the sweeter side. I will say that their reward system makes up for the price because you earn one point per dollar spent which is helpful if you go there a lot. I don't think I'll be going back unless I really need to. Overall it was okay

    This is the best coffee I have had in a while! The staff was so lovely. Very speedy service. Delicious espresso. I will be back!!

    Latte and a pour-over
    Mito I.

    Brief Summary: - Coffee could be sour, depends on how it was made - Pour-over is sour on the first sip, and the rest it mellows out - Buy-and-go style - There are seats in the public market On our first visit, we visited Boston's Public Market on the hour before closing, so many of the food restaurants were closed, including this one. Second round, we arrived when stores were opening up, and we went to get our first coffee of the day. I ordered two drinks: the pour-over and the latte. The staff informed us that the pour-over will take longer, and we acknowledged that. Compared to a latte, it did take longer. However, since there were more customers ordering lattes and espressos, the wait felt around the same. The latte wasn't sour but according to my relative, the first sip had a sour note, and then it cleared away.

    Friendly staff, quick service, and one of the best latte's of my life! Absolutely amazing coffee! That said, walking out over $8 lighter for a rather small coffee felt painful, which is why this was a 4 star and not a 5 star experience. J.Ja

    Iced Vanilla Coffee
    Kristen S.

    Service quick and pleasant. Iced coffee was a little bitter but did mellow out as the ice melted. Bagel Guild recommended them seeing they don't serve coffee-not sure if there are any other places in the market that serve coffee but if there is I would try somewhere different next time.

    Making matcha
    Alexis L.

    The employees are nice and the matcha lattes I ordered were decent. My only gripe is that the employee who assembles the drinks does it kind of messy (my drink would have milk spilled on the cup and it wasn't closed correctly and when I tried to close it, some splashes of milk dropped from milk being stuck on the lid). And also she does not wear gloves when assembling the drinks but touches the inside of the cups with her bare fingers to grab them. It would be better if she didn't touch the inside of the plastic cups with her bare fingers and instead grabbed the outside of the cups only if she wasn't wearing gloves. Didn't get a pic of her doing that because it was fast but had a pic after to imagine what I'm talking about.

    Came when they opened. Coffee is already burnt. The latte was average. Try other options if you can.

    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.

    I'm a Tatte fan and I've slowly been going to different locations every time I visit a different…read morepart of Boston. 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!

It had a tiny piece of Halloumi, no sauce or seasoning, and basically just two slices of gluten-free bread with a small egg in between. I don't know if they forgot to add seasoning or it generally comes so dry - I also wouldn't advertise this as a Halloumi sandwich when you put one square inch of halloumi cheese in it. This simple order took more than 30min to bring out. I do appreciate that the team checked in with us about 20min in and asked whether we had received our order (clearly we hadn't) but I'm highly disappointed and unlikely to return to any location of Tatte now for food. I would've prepared this simple breakfast much better at home and I'm not even skilled in the kitchen.

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.

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.
