This place is fantastic! It deserves way more stars than it's received. The veggie sandwich was top notch. The Americano was delicious. That, coupled with a great ambiance, easily earns it 5 stars. read more

I flew in to Boston and was determined to get a bagel from the east coast! We got the rental at the airport and came straight here. The inside was nice with gorgouse table art. The server took our order right away and was so patient with us trying to figure out what we wanted. We ordered the Nova Lux on a Rosemary Salt Bagel and the BLT on an Everything Bagel, as well as a Hot Chocolate and Mocha Late. The Nova Lux bagel had smoked salmon, cream cheese, tomato, onions and capers. The capers gave such a nice salty touch and balanced well with thr tomatoes. The Smoked Salmon was fresh and the cream cheese was delicious. The Salted Bagel was delicious as well. The BLT was also very good, lots of lettuce and the bacon was cooked perfectly. And the everything bagel was seasoned perfectly. The Hot Chocolate was pretty good and very fitting for the chilly morning. And the Mocha Coffee was very good too. Overall I'm happy I got to try a Pavement Coffeehouse location and would definitely come back! 10 but of 10!And the Moltent Lava cake was pretty good, perfectly gooey in the center and very enjoyable. read more

I stopped by Pavement one day for a sandwich after work and it was fine, good bagels. I opted for the Harper sandwich that was full of veggies and egg -- I added bacon for a protein boost and went a little lighter on the cream cheese. It was good but didn't quite knock it out of the park for me. Good price for the sandwich and I really appreciated that, the service was a little slow though and the bathroom could have been way cleaner. Also, the tables were consistently dirty and I struggled to find a little nook to quickly organize my stuff before leaving. I wouldn't rush back but would give it another chance! read more

Pavement Coffeehouse - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I was recommended pavement coffee and was excited to try it. I went with my boyfriend early in the morning on Mother's Day so it was slightly busy, but we found a place to sit. It was a little loud inside, but it calmed down after most of the crowd left. We decided to try the bee sting bagel sandwich and that was probably a 7/10. I wish it had more bacon and hot honey, but other than that I would get it again. I was disappointed in the coffee as both of our drinks tasted like cold milk. read more

My friend and I came here for coffee on a Friday afternoon. I had a hot matcha latte with almond milk. It was a little too sweet for my taste, but not bad. Everyone who works here is so friendly and there are plenty of tables and outlets. It's a great place to do work! read more

3.75* Vibes inside are very cute! Nice staff and baristas. Coffee is decent. I could see myself coming in to work or study. That said, I wasn't impressed by the food at all. My bagel (sunrise) was soooo so flavorless. It was salty but there was literally nothing to it, I had to add hot sauce for flavor. The bacon was all fat, no meat. I was also still hungry afterwards, which is unexpected as I'm usually full for the day after a bagel sandwich. I would return again to try their other sandwiches or offerings, but it's nothing special imo. read more

Large and spacious, Pavement's Fenway location is a good spot for studying, working, or catching up with a friend. It gets packed on weekends though. The drinks are always good. I alternate between their iced chai or matcha lattes. Their food isn't as consistent, but it tastes good regardless. Their prices have gone up within the past year, but I suppose that's the price you pay to support a local business. read more

Pavement Coffeehouse - a view of the kitchen and dining area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

We actually visited twice in the same day and had different experiences. The first time we ordered a chai latte with a shot, a matcha latte, a tequila sunrise bagel and a bagel with cream cheese to go. Everything was so amazing that we stopped back by after picking up my husband from the airport. We decided to stay this time with our family of 5. The staff was not very nice or helpful which had not been our previous experience. We were looking for help ordering (no description of specialty drinks on the menu) and none was given just a point towards a flavor list! We were able to fumble through and once we got the order I asked for additional vanilla in one of the drinks and the barista was very unhappy about that and provided a Boston side eye sneer combo! On the bright side the bagels especially the tequila sunrise was perfect and so were the drinks! read more

I've had the rosemary salt bagel which is sooo good! Even the cream cheese is tastier than other places I've tried. Everyone with me raves about the bagels they got. Can't wait to go back. read more

Pavement is a great place for all of your coffee shop needs. They have great coffee and food items. I personally love their lattes. One of my current favorites is the maple latte. It's subtly sweet and so cozy! I also am a big fan of their matcha lattes. They have nondairy milks including almond milk and oat milk, both of which make great substitutions. The bagel sandwiches are always so good! They have some vegan options with hummus and tofu spreads with plenty of ways to customize, so you can really make any bagel sandwich your heart desires. I find the service to be consistent and pretty efficient, even during the peak times. There is also a decent amount of indoor seating, which is great for a quick coffee break or catch up with friends. read more

Great coffee, great egg sandwich, pretty good scone. Very nice cashier. The tables were full of college students and working professionals which was nice to see, there was space to sit even with a good amount of people. read more

Drink was ok, there was some confusion over drink sizing and how I could only have certain drinks in a 16oz cup. The one that was allowed in a bigger cup was chai- which is sweetened tea. Claimed they tried to control portions, but wtf, isn't that my decision, but you are ok putting a sweetened tea in the largest cup?! Really makes no sense. read more

Been here a few times now for their breakfast bagels which are delicious. Service is great and location is nice and clean. It's a little pricey for what you receive but other than that I highly recommend them. I haven't tried their coffee yet as I'm extremely picky about my coffee but gonna give it a try next time I'm in. read more

Good Matcha in the area. It did not taste grassy or too sweet. I would definitely come back here to get a matcha latte. It is a little bit pricey if you add a different kind of milk, like almond milk, but I think it's worth it. The workers are very nice too which is always a plus! I like the atmosphere of this place! read more

Pavement Coffeehouse - iced matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Fig and cinnamon latte (oat milk) was the BEST latte I have had this far in Boston. Props for having gluten-free and vegan options. The bagel menu looked great, but we got one that is gluten free due to allergies and the bread was average at best. The combination of taste of the toppings of it were really, really good tho. The interior and the vibe was great. The chairs were comfortable, and the lighting was on point. A great spot to get some work done. read more

Call dad 2:45 PM on a Sunday and they were not able to take my take-out order, instructed me to go to the app. Went on to yelp, and made the order for a soy milk, cappuccino, and a coconut cookie, which came to exactly $10 with tip. Was or ready very quickly, perhaps five minutes. Picked it up, and the coffee was 3 inches tall, the cookie was bigger. $5.25 for what looks to be 7 ounces of coffee, what the fuck is that? That said, the cappuccino was good and the cookie was also good, the cookie was $2.75, that's a good value. read more

The service at the Fenway location is TERRIBLE. They need more staff ASAP. Today I had to wait 40 minutes for a bagel and cream cheese. Everyone who was there and ordered food was upset with the wait. This seems to be a reoccurring issue there. People love Pavement but it's not worth the wait and service. read more

small bagel sandwich for $11 is absurd. Took 25+ min after ordering there. Place is a ripoff with their prices. you can get better quality from tatte for the same price. read more

An independent, locally-owned coffee shop with several locations around Boston. I had been wanting to come out here to try it. The Death Cream peaked my interest, and the barista informed it that it was cold brew with cream and vanilla syrup (and a lot of it). The small was 16oz and the large was 24oz. I ordered the small, which totaled to about $5 with tax. The drink itself was good, but definitely for those who like sweeter drinks! Next time I order it, I'll ask for more cold brew than cream. There was a lot of available seating for a Saturday. Also worth noting that they ran out of food by 2pm on a Saturday. They played early 2000s music and Nickelodeon shows soundtracks, which I enjoyed even if it was a little loud. The baristas were having a great time with each other, so it seems like a good workplace environment for them, which I respect. read more

Could be worst experience I've had with with a coffee shop. Avoid at all costs. Preordered two bagels for pickup. We got there when they said it would be ready, waited almost an hour. Ended up having to cancel our order, and missed our train to NY costing us over $100 to change to a later one. Go to Tatte down the street, never an issue there read more

Annnnd we are back to 1 star (more like 0 stars)... Most recent visit was bad. Asked for a double toasted bagel / egg sandwich and the bagel came out burnt to a crisp. How they could serve that to someone is beyond me. I had them remake it and on the second round they barely toasted it at all. I guess toasting is hard for these guys. What a f'ing joke. And no apologies on their end that's for sure. read more

I got the death cream since it's one of their specialties. It's a pretty sweet drink so make sure you ask for less sweet. Great place to study, as it's usually on their quieter side and some outlets available. The baristas were all giggling with each other and being on their phones behind the counter, which got kinda of distracting. They were also singing from time to time to the music out loud, so in conclusion this place has good vibes but you just might get distracted by the employees instead of actual customers. read more

Pavement Coffeehouse - death cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I ordered through the website 20 minutes prior to my arrival and the worthless moron behind the counter forgot my order behind the counter and didn't realize it until I asked her about where my order was after 40 minutes. By the time I got my food it was cold and I couldn't even eat it because I'm a construction worker and I had to be back at work producing on my staging 5 minutes later. How would your employees like it if I fucked with them for their entire lunch break like that did to me read more

Stopped into Pavement this morning on our way out of Boston. Cool local chain with some speciality options. The place itself was cool and it was a bummer but obviously understood we couldn't sit inside. I got the a large Death cream (cold brew, half and half and homemade vanilla syrup) and thought it was delicious! Pretty pricey but good. My boyfriend got the Spanish latte, another of their speciality drinks, and also liked it. I also got a plain bagel toasted with plain cream cheese and wasn't crazy about it. I found the cream cheese chalky and way too much on the actual bagel. My boyfriend got a bacon egg and cheese and really enjoyed it. Overall, glad we stopped and would probably opt for a pastry next time! read more

Fell in love and hit the pavement... hah. In all seriousness, I used to think that Tatte would always be my favorite cafe in Boston, but I think Pavement is a worthy rival for my attention - unlike Tatte, the crowd is more predominantly college students looking for a decently quiet and chill place to study. I've never gone when the volume in Pavement has been overwhelming and there always seems to be a seat or two available to plop down and grind away on my laptop. The staff is friendly and helpful and the food is pretty good - everything tastes pretty fresh. My favorite order is an everything bagel with chive cream cheese and an iced matcha latte. They are very generous with their cream cheese, something I definitely do NOT mind, and their matcha lattes are the perfect amount of sweet and creamy. They also have outlets! And wifi that actually works! Honestly any coffee shop rife with outlets deserve an extra star. Definitely come here if you're looking for a good place to study, or a cafe where you can actually hear your friends over the bustle. read more

Super long line. I waited for 20 minutes and when I ordered they said their decaf machine was broken. I think they should have had a sign out saying that so I didn't waste time waiting in line. Because of the wait time I had no time to go elsewhere to get coffee. Completely destroyed my morning. read more

I thought this was going to be my daily morning spot but it's not. It's a decent cafe with a great space and quiet when you're here early. I'm typically on the go around these parts but they don't seem to be quite ready when they open the door at 7am. It's baffling when you see 3-4 people behind the counter and a few more out back and it's still not as efficient as you would expect it to be for a coffee shop. Sunrise on a Cinnamon Raisin Bagel- The bagel itself will not hold it's chewy texture well if you decide to take it to go. It hardens fast and I couldn't quite enjoy the sandwich. Chocolate Chip Cookie- Stale. Almond Croissant- Croissants are usually fluffy when they are fresh but the one I had was dry and cracking when I held it. Overall Service: I know warm and friendly but these guys, not so much. I would come back just for the London Fog but they forgot my order a couple times already. Plus, they take too long. I'm all set. read more

I seem to always end up here whenever the nearby Tatte gets too crowded. They have free WiFi and many small tables which is great for you to settle in and get work done. The decaf americano I tried was a bit too sour for my liking. Probably my fault for ordering a decaf. On another occasion I tried the cold brew. It was pretty strong, but again, had some sour notes. It's probably the type of beans they use. They pride themselves in their bagels, and there are a lot of bagel options in addition to spreads (and vegan spreads too). I visited on a late Friday afternoon expecting their bagels to be gone but they had all the flavors except one. I tried a toasted sesame bagel with veggie cream cheese. The bagel was nice and chewy and the sesame seeds got everywhere as expected. They were generous with the cream cheese! I'd come back for the bagels but I'll probably go for a different drink next time. read more

Bagels! Delicious. Lemon dill cream cheese, I recommend. Service - good. Places to sit and wait - good.

I walked I in and so not crowded at noon and I ordered a bacon eggg and chheese & coffee. I asked for I it to be toasted and it was not. It's such a bummer when that happens. The cofffee is ok I also ordered for here and instead I had to go pick it up and no napkin with it. I saw the sales person and she said " oh " and when I asked for a napkin they pointed to the napkin holder on the side and it was empty. I said but that is empty I tipped too and it bothers me becuz it was lousy service and an ok sandwich & coffee. I won't come back read more

Good coffee, but regardless of how busy the area is, I average 20-30 minutes waiting for my order every time.

Solid bagel sandwiches. Specifically the sauces they use really have great favor. Only issue is that the service was a bit slow...30 minutes for 2 bagel sandwiches and this location looked a bit run down. read more
