    a view of a coffee shop
    Deborah C.

    Really disappointed in the quality of service lately. This Pavement location has been my go-to for the past year or so after moving neighborhoods and I've never had an issue. They messed up my last two mobile orders within the past two weeks. Both times I asked for No Cheese for my bagel sandwich but they included anyways. Not a big deal the first time and they remade it right away, but the most recent time I asked for them to remake it, there was some sort of miscommunication. I waited about five minutes while watching the workers in the back through the window chatting it up and laughing. I checked in with the employee at the counter again and they were able to produce the sandwich a minute later while the chatter magically stopped.

    Nice and cozy place, stopped by to grab breakfast for the first time. They have a great cold brew and cashier was nice enough to check if i could order the Jackson Creek sandwich, since online said they were out of stock. If I'm ever in the area again I'd love to try their other sandwiches :)

    Toasted sesame bagel with garlic cream cheese and a coffee my way. Delicious Friday treat

    Another good coffee and a sweet-thang with friends in the afternoon. Selection of bake goods was great this visit; when we come late they are down to just cookies later in the day. Delicious cooks mind you! They are always accommodating as staff; friendly, inquisitive, and adjusting to the customers speed. Coffee is always good and they will do their best to make it your way. Ambiance, hahahahah. A university urban coffee shop willed with nice patronage and some interesting characters. All wanderers aren't lost folks.

    Bacon breakfast sando
    Steve G.

    Daughter is a fan of their mocha coffee something because it's smoother than others. We stopped in for breakfast so I had a bacon breakfast bagel, daughter a scone. Breakfast bagel was great. The bacon was tick and tasty, the egg big. I hate it when others give you a tiny piece of egg in a big bagel. Not much seating, only 3 stools, probably 'cause social distancing, and a window seat, so more of. A great 'n go then hangout. Definitely too small of WFCS (Work From Coffee Shop). Nice worker peeps. Prices a little on the high side. Still, I'd come back.

    Now, that's just nasty.

    Overpriced. Often wrong. But still better than Starbucks. This is the best coffee spot in the area. Quirky. Tasty. Usually playing cool music. It's less fancy than Tatte. Much hipper than Starbucks. But it's just not worth the price. Prices have gone up AGAIN. $1.50 for slice of cheese? $2.00 for an egg? $1.95 for an espresso shot? (A shot of expresso actually costs about 20 cents) Because they are the best in my neighborhood, I keep going back. But they get my order wrong almost half the time. Egg when I didn't ask for it. A missing baked good. Sometimes a pound of bacon, sometimes a tiny bit. It's Breakfast roulette. I would like to make this place a part of my daily routine, but I don't have the money or the patience. I like a hipstery spot as much as the next person, but come on. (See photo)

    Classic Lox Bagel

    Super cute place! I like he vibe. The people were really friendly, and the food (lox bagel) was delicious. Good spot for working also.

    Awakening with avocado instead of tomato
    Christiane M.

    such a cute place! definitely expensive if you get coffee, bagel, and leave a tip but the awakening bagel was delish and their house drip coffee was great. cute place for a chill morning

    a coffee shop with a long counter

    Best coffee shop in Allston hands down. The staff is SO nice / pleasant. They play good music. The coffee is perfect. Has lots of vegan options (vegan tofu spreads, bagels, tofu, seitan, etc). There is always parking right out front if you need to drive. Only down-side is it's quite small inside so not a good spot to sit / chill -- but there are other Pavements with seating if you are looking for that (Brighton, Symphony).

We headed towards Solid Ground and ventured inward. The staff were welcoming and brought our drinks to our table. It seemed like the place to be as others came in a steady stream. It's small in regards to seating but we managed to get a spot with a good view of the street perfect for people watching. The coffee was tasty and gave us the extra fuel we needed to keep exploring the town. Definitely stop in if you're in the area!

    A great little cafe experience! This spot is bright and welcoming thanks to its quaint yet lively…read moreatmosphere and exceptionally friendly staff. This is such a fun warming place to be all around. Though there's not a ton of seating, I was lucky enough to find a table even on the weekend given that this spot is also great for grab and go. But if you get a chance to sit, it's a lovely place to have a chat with a friend or get some work done. The menu has a wide variety of drinks with some fun rotating flavors, and I'm dying to come back and try their sandwiches (they look and smell divine)! As for their matcha and pastries, I can report that they're not the most impressive I've seen anywhere, but they're certainly high quality and crave-worthy. This in addition to some great prices definitely makes a stop here worth it!!
