Smoked Maple Latte
Kana S.

I got the iced smoked maple latte which was so delicious. It has the perfect balance between sweetness and smokiness. The inside is cutely decorated, perfect for coffee+reading, and staff is kind. Quick service for how busy they were!! I'm just visiting Boston but I would come back the next I'm here.

Houjicha Tea Latte ($10)
Rachel S.

This place has been on my list for a while because I've heard many good things, so I was glad to have the opportunity to try one of their drinks. I got the Houjicha latte with oat milk, and although the smallest size was over $10, the flavors were impeccable, earthy and not too sweet at all which is exactly what I was looking for. If it weren't for the cost, I'd be a regular, but it's worth the occasional splurge.

Matcha Latte
Ilana S.

4.5/5 A really good matcha! Definitely on the pricier side coming in at more than $10 with tax and tip. Minus points because I didn't realize it was sweetened when I ordered and wasn't given a choice between sweetened or unsweetened.

I didn't love paying almost $10 for a hojicha latte, but I still have to give Ogawa credit where credit is due - that was one of the better hojicha lattes I've had! Nutty, rich, and just a little sweet, with a smooth taste from start to finish. Can't ask for much better. Like the menu, this location is quirky, with all sorts of seating arrangements, ranging from stadium seating benches to an elevated table near the front window. I opted for a regular stool at a regular table, and I was the odd cafe goer. But seriously, great drinks here, worth a splurge if you're looking for hojicha.

Matcha Latte

I got their hot matcha latte, and it was great! The matcha was nice and the drink was not too sweet! I ended up adding some extra sugar because it was a cold day and I needed a little extra sugar boost. The staff was very friendly! Very trendy and interesting interior, with the seating being like tall stair-like ledges you can sit at, in addition to traditional table/bar seating. Nice place to sit and chat and enjoy a drink!

Avocado toast with egg. So good!
Shemesh Y.

I do like this place. They make great hot drinks, and the food is always good too (pricy, but they are not cheap on the avocado, which is telling!). I went with a weird hojicama (or something like that) drink, and actually did not like it. But the avocado toast was lovely.

Espresso cream soda

Came here early in the morning for a nice cup of coffee. I am very impressed with their lattes! I got the seasonal speciality - peppermint mocha latte I believe it was called. It was super delicious and smooth. The latte art is so pretty. It was very calm and peaceful in the morning. Not crowded at all. Service was good.

Very cute coffee shop with very nice staff! Interior is very cozy and there is a good amount of space as well! The matcha is definitelyyyyy worth getting and I got the cheddar croissant randomly, but it was SO good (obviously get it warmed!). Also love how they only play jazz or classical music, so if you're a book reader like me, it's perfect ambience noise! Very cute place and will be coming again to try something else from here soon :)

We tried this unique coffee shop from Kyoto, Japan last year and couldn't wait to return! Return we did, making it to the spot 5 minutes before close on the last day of our visit! Last year, I could quickly double park right outside and run it but the logistics changed... This time I parked across the street in a tow away zone. All good! The staff were very gracious in making two lattes for my wonderful wife. I ordered one smoked maple like last year plus a new salted caramel pumpkin! She liked them both! Alicia helped secure the drinks to ensure I could carry them both across the store without spilling a drop! The latte art was exquisite so we got a nice picture before covering the drinks for the journey. Thank you Alicia for your kind, friendly and professional service! We look forward to returning next time we are within an hour or two of Boston! Life is good with excellent unique coffee!

Waited in line for about 15 minutes at Ogawa Coffee, and honestly it was completely worth it. This was the best coffee I've had in a while. I got an iced americano and a hojicha latte, and both were excellent. The americano was smooth, bold, and not bitter at all, but the real surprise was the hojicha latte! The hojicha flavor actually came through, which never happens at most coffee shops. It was toasty, earthy, and so comforting without being overly sweet. If you don't mind a short wait and want really high-quality drinks, this spot is absolutely worth a stop. It's worth the 5 stars.

Interior
Linda T.

This is strictly for their fresh orange juice and iced matcha latte. It's not too sweet or too bland, just right for my taste-bud. Menu is not complicated but the girl at the register seem rushed for me to order, even though I was not in line yet. I wish I have tried their Hojicha. My cousin got it for me from them to try at home but I have yet to master to make it at home. Next time when I'm in the area, I would give other drinks a try. Stadium benches on the side to wait for your drinks is a great use of the space while being able to sit many people. Bathroom was semi-clean but it's like the center of Boston. Cannot expect much. It's a solid matcha place; I just wouldn't go out of my way to come here unless I was craving coffee/matcha and happened to be in the area.

Caramel latte
Sara R.

I really like Ogawa, they stand true behind their mission of serving high quality Matcha - it's on the short list of best I've had. They also have a nice coffee/espresso menu and a wide range of food options (I haven't tried yet!). My main complaint is the pricing as everything is minimum $7 on drinks and upgrading beyond a basic 12oz plain bev gets closer to $8.50, before tax or tip. I understand the premium charge for matcha but the pricing across the board is a tough swallow. The ambiance is vibrant and cool with a unique stair-seating situation. Seating is tight and there's not much standing room so this isn't my choice for a sit-and-stay experience, but definitely on my list for a grab and go! Would recommend for matcha and just to check out the unique vibe!

Iced Houijicha Latte  Iced Smoked Maple Latte
Justin P.

Pros: Unique drinks and specialized coffee! Seasonal Drinks Nice Atmosphere Cons: Pricey Lacking in Flavor Better/ equal coffee/tea in other spots I got the Hojicha Iced Latte and the Seasonal Iced Maple Latte. Maple Latte: I liked the depth of the espresso shot and think overall it has a nice nutty, slightly chocolate, smooth feel. However I could taste no maple at all, but did get the thickness of the bacon and salt in there. I wish this was more Maple because I couldn't taste a hint in the drink. Overall the espresso came through very nice. Hojicha: Naturally sweet, nutty, nice roasted in depth matcha flavor. Good Hojicha! It was slightly chalky however. Poorly whisked. Just enough to be noticeable. This drink was pretty solid but again the prices are crazy. Overall: Decent drinks with not so decent prices. The prices are a bit wild, in both drinks the oat milk was an extra $1 I didn't get asked if I wanted it either or to sub it out, and with a cheap tip I left spending over $20 for both 16oz drinks. The atmosphere is a modern, cool, smooth vibe but there's quite a few people there and it's relatively busy.

Good prices as well, around $5-7 range which is common for a solid coffee shop. Flannel Latte ordered iced: Good quality espresso very smooth not over or under extracted, I enjoyed the cracked allspice and maple and found they paired very well with the drink, not too milky or overbearing espresso, just a well rounded cup. My mom ordered a wet cappuccino: classic latte art that was nice to look at, perfect foam, very light rounded espresso flavor throughout due to the extra foam my mom likes. I enjoyed this hot drink on a cold day like today. I do wish there were a bit more coffee bags and the tasting notes/info/source was a bit bigger more direct on the bag kind if how jejes bags are but this is just a very minor preference. I would love to come back and try more!

Gracenote is easily one of the best coffee shops in Boston when it comes to pure coffee quality…read more They have their own roastery! I had a cortado, and it was absolutely delicious -- balanced, smooth, and dialed in perfectly. If you care about flavor and craftsmanship in the cup, this place delivers every time. A quick note: the shop itself is small, with some standing room but no chairs or tables. It's not a spot to study or work from -- it's a grab-your-coffee-and-go kind of place. But for the coffee alone? Completely worth the five stars.

What an amazing hidden gem! Driving into the city from Newburyport, my family and I stopped here…read morecraving a quick afternoon pick-me-up and we were more than pleasantly surprised by the quality of taste and vibes this place serves up. We were welcomed in and helped super quickly despite being almost closing time, and still got to enjoy some fresh-made, delicious drinks. Their menu offers a variety of traditional options plus a couple fun, unique twists from their flavor syrups to their seasonal specials. (Even if the particular matcha i had wasn't super strong, the caramel banana syrup was INCREDIBLE and made the drink completely worthwhile, so I would highly recommend!) Needless to say, everything we tried was a big hit. Not only would I be more than happy to make the trip to enjoy another of their matcha combos, but I'd come back also for clean, spacious, and calm working atmosphere (luckily there's another location closer to me in Boston too)! I'm so glad I got to knock this cute and fun cafe off my list, and I'm even more excited to come back again!

Items ordered: Iced espresso with a splash of milk, bag of coffee…read more The review: I had seen the wonderful rhetoric about Little Wolf around the food and coffee world, so I had to try it for myself. This place is a whole vibe. Sleek and coastal and somehow also whimsical, Little Wolf is a great space to have your morning recharge. They make their own variety of flavored syrups, ranging from the standard vanilla to a botanical blend called Bouquet. Most importantly, their beans are incredible. The Finca that they served in my drink was a tasty lighter roast, which enticed me to buy a bag (similar roast, not the same). This price is not very clear but it is $28 (out of sight out of mind, I guess). Of course great coffee requires great baristas. Looking forward to coming back!

This review is specifically for their signature coffee. We've been getting Farmhouse Blend coffee…read moresince before this restaurant existed when they were selling out of their Peach Tree Ice Cream location and we absolutely love it. While I grew up in Salem, NH - I loved to Los Angeles almost 20 years ago and every year at Christmas time look forward to my parents sending us Farmhouse Roasters Coffee at Christmas time. I wouldn't say we're exactly coffee snobs, but let's just say we like what we like, and enjoy nice dark blends. My wife and I have made it a bit of tradition to buy each other different types of artisan coffee around the holidays from many local shops, brewers, etc... and honestly, I think Farmhouse Roasters Farmhouse Blend beats anything out there. I feel like we're kind of "chasing the high" as we search for different coffees to try, and always come back to Farmhouse Roasters which is super consistent every time. The restaurant is great too, but honestly, we haven't been since pre pandemic so I can't give a detailed review... but it's worth it to simply load up on coffee if you're local or buy online... which we need to do more often.

Walking in and you're greeted by walls of different roasts to buy and bring home ranging from the classic to more exotic (not a George Howell level of variety but not far off).

The lavender espresso soda was perfectly done with a great mix of the espresso with just a hint of lavender.

Also, if you're ordering online for takeout, it's best to tell the staff when you arrive.
