No frills, low key coffee spot where locals come for their caffeine fix. Mud House features an expansive list of flavored coffee options similar to what you can find at places like Coffee Break. The iced coffee is decent. You'll get more flavoring than any bitterness from the coffee. The large size is huge. No espresso drinks though. Food offerings are pretty standard. Several varieties of bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and a handful of pastry options. Wouldn't get the bagel plain - not much taste and texture without it being toasted and spread added. I did like the soft Portuguese roll with the egg and cheese. Seating is a bit tight with only a few tables and counter spots. It has a laid back vibe and you can tell it's where locals like to hang out. $15 for a large coffee, muffin, and two breakfast sandwiches. Pretty good deal. Cash only but they have an ATM on site. If you want an affordable breakfast stop that's a step up from Dunks, Mud House is a decent option. read more

I really wanted to try this spot while I was out of town on vacation. Looks really good. They are cash only. Literally walked straight out to the door after hearing that and seeing the atm. Literally lost $15 of sales by just me and my two friends. Massive L read more

Fast service. Hot coffee and cutest cow on top! Croissants were flakey and tasty. CASH only one might need to note. read more

Mud House - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dorchester, Massachusetts

May forever go to coffee spot, & I can't sag enough great things about the BEC on a crossaint. YUM.

Impossible to get a bad cup of coffee at this place! It's standard procedure to ask if the color is okay and they will fix it if not. The girls are an absolute delight, so sweet and engaging! This has become my regular coffee spot and the girls' energy (+ the delicious coffee) give me life after working my overnight shifts. The owner is wonderful as well. Try the toffee caramel iced coffee - you won't be disappointed! read more

Read this as a 3.5 review. I only come here for coffee before heading over to work nearby so I can't comment on the breakfast items. The coffee isn't going to blow your mind and is just slightly better than Dunks but a medium here will only set you back about ~$2. They do have a litany of flavors to try (Irish Creme was discontinued recently apparently) so that is definitely a plus. This place does get pretty packed here on Sunday - just an fyi if you are doing a coffee run before work. IG: Mood4foodeatery read more

BEST little coffee shop with countless options and flavors to custom make your drink. First morning , I had a blueberry bagel and a vanilla hazelnut hot coffee with cream. The beans are flavored so I didn't need flavored creamer or sugar! They definitely do not skimp you on cream cheese, which is my usual complaint with bagel shops. The coffee was so fresh, we went back the next two morning of vacation. The second morning, I got a sausage egg and cheese bagel sandwich with a watermelon lemonade. Everything was so fresh and delicious. I wish I had one of these where I lived. Support small businesses, not Starbucks! read more

I come here for lunch several times a month. Today I got 3 turkey clubs. They are always on point and delicious. Today I was appalled. You would think If you spend $30 on sandwiches they would at least have the ingredients it says they have. Guess not, won't be back. Just paid $30 for what could have been mistaken for poorly prepared hospital food read more

Love the Mudhouse!! It's such a cozy Dorchester spot with the best sandwiches!! Tuna Sandwich is out of this world and of course you can't go wrong with a bacon egg and cheese on Portuguese muffin or croissant!! My go to drink is either peppermint patty or Raspberry Lime rickey. The staff is always so nice and knows my order as soon as I walk in. Love this place!! read more

Small little coffee shop with a wide selection of flavored coffees. Definitely a smoother milder blend that fits their name mud house:)

I adore this coffee shop! In addition to the great food and drinks, everyone is always so friendly and SO efficient. I've been able to swing through omw to work and get a coffee in MINUTES. Truly sets my tone for the day. read more

Cute little coffee shop. I walked in early in the morning, bleary from a 4:30 AM wake-up and airport run (the things we do for our significant other!). Despite the fact that it was 6AM, the staff were bright-eyed and cheery. Some chatted up a local who sat at the tiny counter with a mug of coffee. The others tended to those stopping in on the way to work. The coffee was fine. It's not remarkable, but it serves its purpose and is served with a smile. Not sure if the baked goods are made on site, but they are definitely delivered fresh. My scone was good. Looks like they are really trying to establish a friendly, quality coffee shop. They pay attention to little things, like giving you a red-lip-shaped sticker over the hole in your lid when you order a coffee to go. It's a fun little thing that shows they care. read more

I visited the Mud House on a Saturday afternoon. The young lady who took my order was a little rude - she didn't smile and seemed annoyed to be taking orders. Most of the other girls working seemed equally annoyed about it. Also, the place is cash only which is mildly inconvenient. This is where the 2 stars come off. On the positive side, the young man working the counter was polite and friendly, and made small talk with customers who were sitting at the counter. The prices are more than fair - some items they charge about 4.50 for would cost 9.00 in other coffee shops. The garlic bagel I got was amazing, the coffee was decent, and my husband's breakfast sandwich was delicious. I got a nutella and berries sandwich to try as well that i'm sure will be great. If the customer service was consistent throughout the staff, this place would earn 5 stars. read more

I love the Mud House. You can tell that the employees really care about service because they're very attentive and really talk up their food. I ordered a small coffee and an English muffin with ham, egg, and cheese, and it was delicious, with the cheddar melting off the bread and the egg just right. It all came to just over $5. The interior is really cute and bright, with a lollipop tree in the corner for kids and a booth by the front window so you can people-watch. I'm so glad I found out about this place, and I'll be back as much as possible. read more

Great place. The sandwiches are perfectly constructed with care. Prices are reasonable and the staff is excellent.

Great breakfast and lunch at a reasonable price which is rare in Boston. Great place to stop while working since they are usually quick with orders. Small section to sit down and eat but mostly a takeout place read more

Honestly, any time I go here the food and coffee isn't that great. Very overrated. The last time I was here, I ordered one thing, and the girl who got it for me was trying to find a pen for me to sign the receipt. She finally said "The pen? I don't know," and continued with another customer's order. So I had to grab a highlighter from their cup and sign it. That was very unprofessional, in my opinion. read more

I'm staying in Boston for the weekend and my favorite places to explore are the small hole in the wall restaurants. This is the best one yet! I am a breakfast food and bagel fanatic and they have the best bagels I've ever had! The iced coffee is amazing too and their prices are even better! I'm so glad I stopped in this morning, will definitely be going back! read more

another really good local coffee spot with a really nice atmosphere. the proprietors are really friendly and pleasant. this is an old-fashioned storefront with lots of glass and a great original antique tin ceiling. the location is near the Neponset Circle and access to the park and greenway along the Neponset River. yummy delicious muffins and good strong coffee. read more

Mud House - minot mud house - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dorchester, Massachusetts

The cashier is extremely rude and short. She never gets the order correct even after repeating myself then she gives attitude when she's is wrong. read more

I really want to like this place. Their coffee is always too watered down, and I just can't get behind a business where all of the workers have their masks pulled down around their chins. I also watched as she made my sandwich and she wiped her nose then continued to make my sandwich without washing her hands or putting on gloves. Needless to say, there are other small businesses in the area doing better right now to keep everybody safe. Wearing your masks properly and washing your hands before handling food is the least that can be done during these hard times! read more

Mud House is an awesome spot for a quick bit to eat. The Portuguese rolls are always fresh and delicious. Really great selection of coffee and bagels. The place is clean and their lunch options have expanded. read more

Mudhouse is lovely. Breakfast sandwich is always amazing. Eggs are cooked to order. Veggie cream cheese is so delicious! Toasted almond ice coffee is my favorite. Ladies are so friendly and always welcome you w a warm smile. Lines can get long, especially on Saturdays. Only negative is they close too early (2pm) and are closed on Sundays. Come on!! We need good coffee on Sundays too!! read more

I'm a longtime customer, and no longer will be. Boston has had an indoor mask mandate since the end of August. I've gone in a few times with missed mask use. And attributed it to people forgetting and getting back into following the law. Past 3 weeks I've gone and can see that nobody is masked and it's crowded inside. Not worth the risk. I don't think it's too much to ask. read more

Nice little place. Simple with a ton of coffee selections available. Respectable breakfast and lunch offerings. Limited table space, bug fun to people watch if you get a spot by the window. Cash Only. read more

I LOVE this place! The coffee is awesome, i'm a fan of the toffee caramel. They have great breakfast sandwiches and their bagels are on point! small place so i usually take it to go. Would never go to dunkin donuts if i'm anywhere near the mud house! read more

I want to love this place so I keep going back to give it another chance. The coffee is good and that I can't complain about. However, when it comes to my food it's almost never right- cheese when I say no cheese, no avocado when I ask for avocado. When it is made correctly it is just ok. 3 stars because the girls working are always very friendly and the coffee is good. read more

The Mud House is super small (only 6 tables) and the line was out the door when we walked up but it went by really quickly and the service was wonderful. In fact, I think the woman that helped Josh and I was the owner and she was great - she helped us choose which coffee we'd like (there was more than a dozen to choose from - and they weren't syrups!) and she even chatted with us briefly. I noticed a lot of regulars as the Batista's used their names and knew their orders before they got up to the counter to pay. Best part? The breakfast sandwiches we got were delicious and the coffee was possibly the best I have had in a longggg time. I got an Iced Butternut Caramel coffee with Soy and 2 sugars and it was literally perfect. I guarantee if you go here you will definitely go back and quickly because the coffee is so good (and the service rocks too). www.creativesoulinmotion.com read more

So good. Breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and coffee is always delicious i usually get the bacon egg and cheese on a bagel with chipotle mayo and it never disappoints. Service is quick and friendly and atmosphere is cute but it's a small space. Only thing I haven't enjoyed are the muffins- too salty for my taste. read more

Great service great variety of ice coffee first time there definitely going back I would recommend Mud house! Unique coffee very cozy relaxing atmosphere read more

Congrats to the Mud House for being #1 on Boston's A List for Best Coffee Shop! Friendly staff, welcoming decor, and delicious coffee makes this spot better than best! Keep up the great work! read more

Their coffee is amazing! The sandwiches weren't too great (had a toothpaste taste towards the end of it). Service wasn't too bad, the girls were nice and quick enough. Definitely will come back for the coffee though! read more

I live close by so I go to the mud house almost every day before work, and I love the girls working there. It's such a nice, homey places for locals. Perfect before work because it's super quick, in and out in just a few minutes. Can get a bit of a line on the weekends. read more

Love the Mud House ! Coffee is always fresh and made correctly and everyone is so pleasant !

I come here on weekends to get coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Great little local place, good coffee and good food. Can be a bit slow, as others have said, but I don't mind waiting because everything's made when you order it (i.e. the eggs don't sit in a warming tray). Definitely a great place to check out if you want something with a small business feel. Always a bunch of locals and young families in there. A real neighborhood spot. read more

Best Coffee in Dorchester. Breakfast and Lunch Sandwiches are as close to homemade as you can get.

Haaaaaaaate this place !! So unorganized.... the little girls they have working in there need serious customer service training .... never smiling .... never welcoming... they literally will just leave the phone off the hook.... they will say it was "busy" I purposely called on day and stayed on hold for like 30 mins walked in with my phone still on hold and one person was in line.... I was furious ... spoke to the manager ... she said a few I'm sorrys but her demeanor said she couldn't give af!... tried again the next day same thing... haven't been back since ! Stay away from this place If you don't want your morning ruined read more

Nice assortment of coffees and bagels. Staff is friendly and the cafe is cute and cosy.

Ive given this place MANY chances as its the only place in the area for coffee really besides Dunkies. The service is HORRIBLE! Everytime I go there my order is wrong and its simply just a coffee with 1 cream and 1 sugar. When i get it, it looks like a cup of milk. The staff are rude and give dirty looks. Ive worked in a coffee shop before and I might suggest training your staff to make the appropriate drinks. If not, provide a station for the customer to make their own coffee if your staff cant make it right. read more

I went to the mud house this morning around 6:20am because I had a craving for a grilled cheese with bacon. So I called around 6:05 to put in my order and it was ready when I got there. I have had a grilled cheese with bacon from there on about 3 other occasions and it was really good. I get to work open up my meal and there is NO bacon! I called the Mud House to let them know they messed up my order and they were not sympathetic AT ALL! I mean they could have at least apologized for messing up my order, I was not seeking a free meal or anything out of it, a simple apology would have done. Here is how the conversation went Me: Hi I just picked up an order for a grilled cheese with bacon from there and there was no bacon on it, I was just wondering if you all charge the same price for a grilled cheese and a grilled cheese with bacon... girl that answered the phone: No. it's 50 cents cheaper (longggg awkward pause)....me: umm...ok! Needless to say I feel that the young girls working there that have very poor customer service skills. For $5.35 for a grilled cheese with bacon I would hope that they could get my meal right considering its VERY simple to make. Food-5 stars Service- 1/4 a star read more
