Time for an update! I recently came back to the OG Pavement, on a quiet summer morning after the semester wrapped up. The vibe is chill, still with the cool mix of furniture and tables for conversations or solo work. Since it's post school year, I'm missing the clog of students and instruments, but it's a nice place to stretch and think. I got an iced latte with almond milk. Their espresso is just suited for milk, and it hits the spot. Me plus coffee plus a book and the low grade chatter of music and friends in the background. Pavement's still got it.
Visiting Boston all the way from Hawaii! Stopped by get some schoolwork done while on vacation. Really nice spot at a really nice and pretty place. Its really quaint with good seats and tables to study while having a cup of coffee or tea. The breakfast bagels are absolutely delicious! Tried the Sunrise with smoked applewood bacon and a everything bagel. The staff behind the counter were respectful and nice! Would totally come again just for the vibes.
Great place to pop in and get coffee & a breakfast sandwich. This time around I picked up some fresh roasted coffee :) whole beans. Love the lively atmosphere. This is one of my go to spots when I make the drive up from CT to visit my grandma. Super reliable (even in the touristy area).
We were staying in Boston and had a couple of mornings we needed a place for breakfast. We found two establishments we chose mainly due to proximity. Of course, we go to Yelp for all of our out-of-town dining needs! This particular morning we chose Pavement coffeehouse. They are really straightforward in the ordering process. They take your name then your order. So we go back to a seat sort of in the back of the coffeehouse waiting for our name to be called. (Nothing else available by the ordering counter) There's music playing, maybe a little louder than normal. But EVERYONE had earbuds on because they are in their element of school, work or simply enjoying what they want to listen to. 15 minutes or more pass by and I've seen a half dozen or so grab their order, maybe hearing a name being called faintly during that time. I think it would be easy to hear the name "Jeff". Certainly my wife seated next to me would also be keen to hear my name being called. So I finally walk up and see my order setting on the front of the store counter like it is a pick up order for a delivery like Grubhub or Uber Eats. I asked if someone called my name. Of course they tell me yes. I'll tell you, if they did, we did not hear it. We picked it up and ate outside, because it was very cool in the coffeehouse. It was very pleasant with a nice breeze outdoors in their seating area. So with all this wait, we literally took a bite before I realized no pics. Sorry for those shots of food with 1 bite removed. Overall, it was ok. It fit the need for food fuel at the time. It was warm, but tolerable after setting for several minutes. The jalapeño bagel was a 0 on a scale of 0-10 in the category of spicy. So if you're expecting just a little kick, you're not going to get it. Both bagels have an egg, bacon Vermont cheddar cheese. I think it both bagels were $11 each. Also...Just calling it coffeehouse means you can charge what you want for coffee. Lg $5+ sm ~$4 My two cents worth!
I came with my friend who was going to a yoga class so we found this coffeehouse as I needed my coffee for the day while waiting for her. Cute place, it is comfortable and very cozy if you want to sit and relax or just read your favorite book. But it is very crowded as other people have the same idea. I was walking in the back and you find comfy big chairs, couches, tables with regular chairs. They do have outlets for your electronics. Lots of people and local college students come to hang out or study as it's right near the Berklee School of Music. You just have to wait to find a place to sit. They have iced, to hot coffee. Muffins, and other deserts on the menu. They do have lots of house-made bagels and cream cheese which looked yummy. I saw some lunch sandwiches as well. The lady behind counter was very friendly. I try to get skim milk with my coffee. She assured me they have low-fat milk. The coffee was to my liking. I find new coffee places, and the coffee is either too strong or just not tasty. But it's my favorite so far! It's clean, and they do have a restroom. I would recommend stopping by and trying it out it if you are in the area. I would come again if in the city
Cute coffee shop. Great location with plenty of shops around. My iced coffee was really good and I love the breakfast options!
This is a nice coffee chain where you can have a nice study session or sit and chat with friends. Because its location is situated in a busy area, the store does get a lot of traffic, so if you prefer a quieter study area, this might not be the place for you. The items are quite affordable - way better priced than other coffee chains. However, my friend who is a coffee connoisseur did not like their coffee that much. I did order the matcha latte which I thought tasted good. Their chocolate croissant was also good, but I thought it just had a lot of powdered sugar topping. The place is really clean with decent customer service. Nothing too spectacular can be said about this location, but if you need a quick coffee stop, this place can be your fix.
I visited this place 3 times! Always on Saturday morning, around 9-10am and always ran to a huge line! Which shows how great the place is(although the wait is annoying) I always make my own bagel. Rosemary salt bagel with chive or lemon dill cream cheese with avocado and sun dries pesto and egg patty It is very filling and very delicious They iced lattes are all good! Tried the iced lavender latte the last time and it was great One sad thing is we always go as two people and it is always minimum 40$
I was very pleasantly surprised about this Pavement Coffeehouse location, especially compared to some of their other locations around Boston. Immediately after stepping inside I realized just how big this place is - it has several tables and funky chairs for customers to sit in, as well as a designated area for to-go orders, which is something you don't see too often in this area. I was also very pleased with my lox sandwich on a sesame bagel, which tasted very fresh and left me full. I would definitely consider stopping back again for a quick bite to eat, and would probably take advantage of ordering in advance for even quicker service.
We were nearby waiting for a concert by berklee school of music and needed to grab a cup of coffee, and a cup of tea (earl grey). We saw in the pastry case, a chive scone (never had one before!) and so glad that we got it. It paired perfectly with my tea. This place is super cozy and you wouldn't think it from the looks outside the coffee shop. Definitely go in the door and you will see. read more
The cutest little spot! The seating and tables are limited, but truly make this cafe a wonderful spot to crab a coffee or lunch (which we were) with friends or a date! The staff were all super lovely and friendly. My only complaint is that the coffee wasn't great. I got a large iced coffee with cream and sugar, but it was too bitter for me. I normally like a darker roast and I love that they rotate their coffee beans for variety of flavors, but I didn't love this one. I then ordered the fresh mozz on a sesame bagel which was delicious! It was perfectly dressed and i'll definitely have to come back for this. Amazing item for breakfast and lunch. My friends also got the turkey blt on a bagel and loved that as well. read more

Lemonade was too watered down, and the Chai Latte had nearly zero sugar. So if ordering those two drinks make audible suggestions to the café. The bagels with cream cheese were outstanding bringing this from 3 to 4 stars! read more
I only ended up here because my friend wanted to get coffee on Marathon Monday and it was the closest spot. Cute inside, but unfortunately due to the marathon and a Red Sox game that was going on the spot was really low on supplies. The girl at the counter was super patient and friendly about the whole 'we're out of most things' situation which was less stressful (because I typically feel more rushed when I have to change my order in an instant). They were out of most of their dairies, most of their coffees, and bagels. I just wanted a sandwich and the one I got was pretty good actually. Unfortunately, they had no cinnamon raisin, which is the bagel I wanted, and they were even out of tomato's so I subbed it for cucumber, but again the sandwich itself was pretty good. read more

Cute establishment with lots of tea and coffee options. They had a good assortment of Bagel and breakfast options. Restaurant was cute. Not many tables or spacious but cute nonetheless. read more
Went to Pavement this morning for breakfast and ordered the Pesto Presto and a Death Cream coffee. They don't have indoor seating right now, which is understandable but difficult because it's so cold out and there was nowhere to sit. The bagel was one of the best bagels I've had in Boston, although they cut it very strangely (not down the middle). It was also pretty cold by the time I got to eat it (because of the lack of indoor seating). The coffee was incredible - I would recommend the Death Cream to anyone who likes sweet coffees! read more

Came here for brunch around 11 and ordered a large iced coffee and hummus bagel. While my coffee only took a minute or two to come out, my bagel took 30 minutes to be made. I understand that they are quite busy since the place was pretty crowded, but 30 minutes to assemble a bagel was a bit too long. My friend also ordered a multigrain bagel with cream cheese -- even simpler than my order and his took 30 minutes to come out too. While the baristas are really friendly and the ambiance of the place is nice, it lacks seats and the bagels take too long to come out. I will give this place another shot in the future since their bagels were very tasty, but be wary of ordering food here if you're in a pinch. read more

Ordered the tequila sunrise sandwich, pretty good if not a little pricey. Pretty much all the sandwiches and bagels are over 10 bucks, not ideal but tolerable. Good amount of vegan choices, and the matcha is pretty good. The servers were very nice and patient. Would recommend if you can spare a dollar or two. read more

Okay. So first off It's not bad. Matcha is unmatched and the bagels are aight but u need the Diablo cream cheese. HOWEVER, I do feel like I am getting robbed here. No matter what I automatically spend 10+ dollars for a a bagel and a bev. Also they are SO SMALL. I feel like they take advantage of students in Boston with the high pricing, small bagels and weak reward system. Pavement you have my heart but if if you were in NJ, or NYC you would not survive a week. The citizens and students of Boston are too kind. I even considered baking my own bagels and learning how to make matcha because pavement takes all my money. read more

Probably the worst breakfast takeout in back bay, in what world is this basic sandwich $12? The bagels are low quality, and anything extra like avocado or tomato will drive the price closer to $20 - JUST FOR A BREAKFAST SANDWICH. read more
