    I still haven't tried the food here but I've had their lattes a couple of times and have enjoyed them. The syrup flavor comes through without making the coffee overly sweet, and the espresso is strong! The place gets pretty packed during the weekends and the line to the baristas can take a while. I stopped by on a Saturday morning and it took me about 30 minutes total to wait in line, order, then get my coffee to go. Like others have mentioned, there is plenty of seating including a quiet area in their back room.

    Great spot to get some work done or just hang out with a book! We came earlier on a Tuesday morning and were easily able to grab a spot. It got way busier around 9-9:30am so I'd recommend coming early, especially if you're with other people. There are outlets spread out around, although some areas I couldn't see one nearby, like the seats by the window right next to the door. There are also gender neutral restrooms down the hall by the counter. I got an iced matcha latte and a pastry, both of which I enjoyed. The prices aren't too bad either. I'd definitely come back in the future!

    A cafe by day and a brewery by night! They have a lot of spread out seating and charging ports (which I appreciate) and you can see this is a go-to spot for people working on their laptops during the day. I spent a couple hours there working on my laptop - and it wasn't too loud with the great background music and good lighting. I ordered the classic vanilla latte and it was SO GOOD. It might be one of the best lattes I've tried in Mass. They have a large array of food items too and they all looked and smelled so good. I will definitely try their food next time and might also come by for Lamplighter beer. -9/10

    4.5/5 Always end my Boston trip with a visit to Pepita for their egg, bacon, and cheese breakfast sandwich. Spacious with spots to sit and play board games or do some studying. There's a quieter space in the back for a more focused environment. Just a note, there are 2 bathrooms with multiple stalls and both are gender neutral. So don't be surprised when you go in and see someone that doesn't identify like you (like the person who got shy when they saw me exiting and decided not to go anymore... hey it's okay, we all need to go)

    A combo between a cafe and a bar, it is a great space to take friends or do some work solo. Variety of high top seating, table seating, benches, and standing room. They have some seasonal drinks in addition to their regular menu. Expect it to be crowded when you go and prepare to stand around for a little before you snatch a seat for yourself.

    PRO TIP: Get there early for a seat of your choice. Overall, solid spot. Don't be nervous if you see a lot of brewing equipment. You're in the right place! Cafe in the morn and pub when the sun goes down. First off - polite staff and solid drinks. I really enjoyed their seasonal options and would recommend it others that a tinge of creative drinks. Ambiance is great. Good vibes. You can definitely tell it's bar at night which gives you room to enjoy some personal space. There are also some communal spaces. If you are planning to stay there for a while with an electronic that needs to be charged, you'll more likely to find an electrical outlet away from the high-stool areas. They tend to be around the wooden tables or the separated room with unique furniture. Bathroom is also available down a little alley past the ordering area. Have fun!

    I love Pepitas coffee. The fact that it's a coffee shop in the morning and a brewery in the evening is such a cool vibe. It's the perfect place to come in the morning to grab some breakfast and chill with friends or even read a book or catch up on some errands. I love sitting by the window and people watching while enjoying my coffee flights. I got the matcha latte with oat milk. It's much better than most lattes I've gotten but I wish it was a tiny bit sweeter. The matcha flavor definitely came thru though making it the perfect rainy day drink

    5 stars for ambience, 2.5 stars for food. This is the perfect place to come and work on a weekday - it's quiet, airy, spacious, and clean! The space is beautiful and the service is great too. Unfortunately, the food / drinks are not great. Perhaps it's because the menu is so extensive and the space does so much in a given day since it doubles as a brewery at night. I tried the iced cappuccino, avocado toast, and croissant sandwich, and the quality really doesn't compare to what you'd get at a Tatte or a Blue Bottle. That said, I'd definitely return to grab a tea and spend an afternoon working or catch up with a friend.

    I loved Longfellows, the previous coffee shop in this space shared with Lamplighter Brewery, and am still a fan of Pepita, the brewery's own venture into coffee and food. Much of the staff is the same, with the main change being a real food program in the form of breakfast tacos. The drinks remain on point, and I still quite enjoy the matcha and chai lattes (by Mem Tea) and espresso drinks (by Barrington and other local craft roasters). They no longer carry almond milk, which is a bit sad to me, but oat and soy milks are still good vegan options. The tacos satisfy and are decently priced for a non-SoCal place. You can request corn tortillas to make them gluten free, and they are also easy to make dairy-free as well without cheese and crema. Although my tacos tend to look sparser than my friends' since they're stripped of most of their toppings (see the photos), I still find them tasty. The avocado tostada remains my favorite, with a thick slather of spiced mashed avocado accompanied by the crunch of pepitas and tartness from pickled onions (which I usually don't like, but I like them here). I've seen some gluten and dairy free My friends have also really enjoyed the carnitas and egg taco on flour tortillas. The Tall Man often gets the cold brew flight, which you can order at the bar. The place has kept its fun atmosphere, with lots of types of seating and board games to play. It still gets pretty crowded, especially on weekends and once Lamplighter starts serving beer (around 3pm on weekdays), so it's not the best place for groups, unless you really time it right. Getting there early with just a couple people seems to work well, though.

    Very nice ambiance. They have a diversity of drinks, pastries, and hot breakfast items. It is a little pricy but items like the banana bread and the passion fruit dessert were very good. The staff were welcoming and quick. Would come again.

    This coffee place is inside Lamplighter Brewery, perfect for a morning coffee and snack. I picked up a coffee in the morning, it was pretty easy to order and they accept Apple Pay. The best part is that the menu is simple and short, which I absolutely appreciate because you don't get confused on what to get. It is also a reasonable price.

    The barista was really nice and their breakfast sandwich was very delicious. There is also plenty of space inside for people to study/work.

    Open window seating near the entrance.
    Samantha C.

    Super cute! Would definitely come back for co-working in the future. The music is the loudest thing there, with everyone quietly sipping on coffee or sucked into laptop work. This space doubles as a bar in the evenings and I could see how it would be great for both aspects. Very clever use, making it available for a range of full-day options. Some options for different food sensitivities, but none of them heavy on the protein front. I would recommend more for the sit, sip, and snack person rather than those looking for lunch on the run or a meal to keep you full. The grilled cheese was almost overwhelming in the amount of cheese provided, and the chai was overly spiced. Still would be a good place to sit a while, though be cognizant of fairly limited seating options.

My personal test is simple: if a cafe's black coffee is good, then everything else usually is too--and Cafe Beatrice passed the test. Once you move into their lattes, you're in for a treat. The last one I had was a matcha brewed with apple cider and sweetened with a chai syrup. It was a soft, fall-time win. If you're here, I'd say go all out and order one of their specialty lattes. The baked goods are generally puff pastry or croissant-based, either filled or topped with fruit, jam, or sweetened cheese. My favorite was probably a raspberry pastry (though the photo I posted was on Yelp over a year ago, my first visit here). I haven't tried their food yet, but from what I've seen, it looks good. For some reason, this place also seems to bring in a lot of bicyclists. There's street parking available, and it's right by the Lechmere station.

Roasted Tomato Brioche: The cheesy flavors of the cheese were more pronounced than the tomato, and as shown in the picture, it had a slightly runny center. The chili flakes were minimal. Fruit Brioche: The fruit changes seasonally; I had blood orange. The sauce gushed out as soon as you cut into it, primarily showcasing the orange's aroma and sweetness. It wasn't sour, but also not too sweet, pairing perfectly with the brioche. Many breads are only available on weekends, so it's advisable to inquire in advance to avoid disappointment.

The restaurant had a really great ambiance, and I enjoyed being able to watch the chefs prepare the food. We ordered the ginger cabbage salad, the coconut eggplant, and the duck noodles. I would have loved to have tried their sushi grade salmon, but they were unfortunately sold out for the night. So I would recommend arriving earlier if you would like to try it. My favorite dish was the duck noodles. I liked the freshness of the basil in the pesto, and the tenderness and juiciness of the duck. The coconut eggplant was a close second favorite. The coconut flavor was delicious, and I liked the nuts on top for crunch. I also found the ginger cabbage salad to be yummy, but not as much as a standout as the other two dishes. Overall, I really enjoyed this spot for dinner. I liked how fresh everything was, and how the dishes felt very light and healthy. It's definitely a bit on the pricier side, but I found it to be very worth it. I definitely come back and try their lattes and other dishes.
