    Iced Boston Cream Latte
    Kevin B.

    Great coffee shop right as you are entering the Financial District of Boston. The team is friendly and attentive and the coffee is quite good. I've had both a regular cup of hot coffee here and recently went for an iced Boston Cream latte with oat milk which was a very nice treat! Phin's has some counter seats and a few tables and chairs available and is a bright and comfortable coffee shop. Certainly worth checking out!

    If you're not getting the bbq pork banh mi from here, YOU ARE MISSING OUT!!! They have one of the best banh mi's in Boston--NO CAP!!! It's so good, that I literally had to have it twice in a week!!!! From the super crispy bread, to the perfectly pickled veggies, and the delicious meat, this banh mi comes with it ALL!! Now of course this means that their drinks are as good! Their UBE espresso latte is super delicious, especially if you love UBE!! And duh, can't go wrong with their matcha!!

    Tofu Banh Mi

    I came to Phin Coffee House to work before some meetings while I was in Boston. It's a pretty popular coffee shop in downtown Boston. There was barely a seating open while I was there because it was so busy! That said, it wasn't too loud. I ordered a Tofu Banh Mi and a Mango smoothie. The Banh Mi was good, but I think the flavors were a bit inconsistent between bites. The mango smoothie was great and I could tell they used real mango for it! I'd recommend it -- next time, I'll try some of the coffee drinks; they seemed very popular!

    Such a cute Vietnamese coffee cafe! The decor is open and calming, and the staff are so friendly. They gave great recommendations! We ordered the shredded beef baos and wished it came with more of the aioli. The drinks were refreshing and the Vietnamese coffee was our favorite. It was strong and had great flavor.

    Pork cold cut banh mi

    Pork Cold Cut Banh Mi (7/10): Pretty solid banh mi. Not the best I've ever had, but you can't go wrong with ordering it. Phorrito (8/10): This is actually a genius idea. It definitely tastes like pho, but is also its own unique creation. Executed perfectly! Ube Matcha Latte (7.5/10): Very good latte, and it was filled to the brim. Very strong matcha flavor. I wish there was a bit more ube inside, though. Hojicha Latte (8/10): Same as above, pretty much. Nice decor. Cozy place to study or meet up.

    Always come here for a cortado but today I brought my workmates and tried some muffins too. The coffee is always great! It's one of the more expensive places to get coffee in Boston but it's always guaranteed to be well made. The workers are soooo friendly and always go out of their way to make you feel welcome! The muffins were nice but I wouldn't running back to get them again. The bran raisin was very nice! Loved the raisins but was a little dry! The pistachio had no pistachio flavour at all so that was disappointing. The banana nut was the best for flavour and not as dry as the others! Will be coming back for coffee as always but will skip the muffins!

    ICED UBE LATTE
    Erin O.

    Be prepared to wait in a line if you visit here on the weekend.. the secret is out!!! Phin Coffee House has some really great drinks (their food menu also looked very good to me) and this location is just right around the corner from South Station and Downtown Crossing which makes it super convenient to pop into. I ordered the iced ube latte (with espresso) which was delicious and had the perfect amount of sweetness. It was pretty difficult finding a table to sit at, but after waiting for our drinks to come out I was able to snag one. My only complaints are with the overall cleanliness of the cafe. The bathroom when we visited was pretty dirty and the container of free water had a gnat floating on the top, which was a bit gross. I also do wish there were more pastries served at this coffee shop.. I looked around at the display case they had and nothing really interested me. I feel like some Vietnamese sweet treats would go a long way here!

    BOSTON CREAM LATTE
    Gina S.

    Visiting Boston for the first time and this shop was recommended. It was cold and rainy when I arrived so the place was busy. I ordered a Boston Cream Latte, it was made quickly. The latte was good, not overly sweet but it was full of foam "cream" and ice. I only had what felt like a few sips. The cup was still more than half full of cream and ice but nothing to drink through the straw. There seemed to be several regulars hanging out working and having conversations. Nice music playing in the background.

    Popped into this coffee shop downtown when visiting Boston and enjoyed it. No line and the coffee came out quick They had a large food menu as well as lots of yummy looking pastries and other food/drink options like energy drinks and Chobani yogurt. Peaceful vibes, great for a coffee date or remote working. Something for everyone here.

    Some people go on vacation for the food, but we are in it for the coffee. We took a ferry and a 15 minute walk to get here...and we were NOT disappointed. My daughter had the Boston Cream Latte and I ordered Ca Phe Phin. I can't say which one was better because they were not amazing. I'm not using exaggerative adjectives. We ranked it as our favorite coffee experience over 5 days we road tripped through the upper east coast! The roast is smooth with zero notes of bitterness. The Boston Cream reminded us of a creamy cup of chocolate milk. The coffee notes did not significantly stand out, so if that's important to you, maybe try a different option. The Ca Phe Phin is I'm more traditional Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk. I was fearful that it would be overly sweet so I ordered it half sweet and it was perfect. It's hard to describe other than "delicious." my only complaint is that it went too quickly because I've room up previous coffee space. I should've ordered the large. The next time we are in Boston, you'll find us here!

    I loved their iced latte. The espresso was strong and the drink was viscous. The vibes were cute and it was clean. The staff was also kind. I'd definitely go back!

    This review is purely for the food. The Pho Burrito was an interesting concept that didn't amaze upon execution unfortunately--it was just ok. The pho broth they gave on the side was a great afternoon refresher though! The Cold-Cut Pork Banh Mi also had all the proper components, but didn't stand out in any way. Strangely, the bread seemed to be pressed thin which made chewing it more difficult. People were definitely coming more for the drinks though, to which they have an extensive selection. Easily worth trying one of them next time!

    Phin Coffee House is a modern matcha house also serving a few select pastries and Vietnamese bites. It's a casual spot with a small selection of seating and counter ordering. I had the matcha latte, there was a good strong matcha flavor and still was a bit creamy. I also tried some of the matcha spritz which I found deliciously refreshing and more of a standout drink

The prices are amazing for what you get :D The menu here is HUGE and has tons of options for customization. There are wraps, salads, smoothies, sandwiches, bowls, drinks - so many items to choose from! This place is located in the lobby of the Amazon Seaport Office. I got a Spicy Greek Breakfast Wrap ($13, +$1.50 for egg white sub) and a Santorini Sunrise Yogurt Bowl ($12). The portions are gigantic and the food is fresh. The Platters, both the breakfast and mezze are gorgeous. Pictures attached. The interior has ample seating and is bright and beautiful.

Ingredients are super fresh and tasty. I LOVE the pressed juices, they are a bit up there in price but the bottles are reusuables and a good size. You can also have juices pressed to order which come out tasting so so good. The menu is expanssivee. So far, I am a huge fan of the pita, hummus, labneh, anything with meat (smash burgers and brisket breakfast sando), and they have pretty decent mac. I'm excited to continue eating my way through their options. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. The restaurant is bright and bubbling. The servers are very kind and always helpful with menu questions. It can get quite busy but service moves quick. I have ordered ahead and ordered in person and never had an issue. If you are in a rush around lunch definitely do yourself a favor and order ahead. If you have time, the wait is never usually more than 10-15 mins and goes by quick.

First time in the Seaport area and treated myself to my go-to smoked salmon sandwich at Tatte. I enjoyed the combo of the umami salmon, capers, and creamy sauce with their fluffy eggs, avocado, and crunchy microgreens. For seasonal items, the summer corn bisque was creamy with just the right amount of seasoning and dill. The corn has a crunch and sometimes more of a chewiness with the intact skin (which I can see how some people may not be a fan of but I liked the textural contrast.) I also got their rose cold foam with the pistachio latte. The cold foam actually featured a nice floral, rosy flavor that complemented the pistachio nuttiness. The house tatte latte is another reliable go-to favorite of mine! As usual staff were nice and friendly. Food came out at a reasonable time given how busy it was. Again I love how consistent Tatte has been able to offer their yummy drinks and food across different locations in different cities throughout the years!

It had a tiny piece of Halloumi, no sauce or seasoning, and basically just two slices of gluten-free bread with a small egg in between. I don't know if they forgot to add seasoning or it generally comes so dry - I also wouldn't advertise this as a Halloumi sandwich when you put one square inch of halloumi cheese in it. This simple order took more than 30min to bring out. I do appreciate that the team checked in with us about 20min in and asked whether we had received our order (clearly we hadn't) but I'm highly disappointed and unlikely to return to any location of Tatte now for food. I would've prepared this simple breakfast much better at home and I'm not even skilled in the kitchen.

We walked into a space that stood out immediately with its design, mixing warm lighting, vintage-inspired décor, and a layout that felt equally suited for a quick coffee or a slower sit-down morning. The room had a relaxed but stylish energy, with enough seating variety to accommodate both quick stops and longer stays, and the overall atmosphere made it easy to settle in for a bit. The menu leans heavily into pastries and breakfast items, with croissants and baked goods being one of the biggest draws. We ordered a few things and found items like breakfast sandwiches, avocado toast, and seasonal croissants forming the core of the experience. The croissants in particular stood out for their variety and creativity, and the coffee drinks were solid and paired well with the food rather than trying to be overly complex. The pastries felt fresh and well made, and the balance of sweet and savory options gave us room to mix and match depending on our mood. The atmosphere is one of its strongest points. It can get busy during peak hours, especially in the morning, which sometimes leads to longer lines and a faster-paced service flow. When it is running smoothly, the experience feels very polished and efficient, but crowding can affect pacing. Service tended to be friendly and professional, though the volume of customers could occasionally make the experience feel a bit rushed during peak times. It is more of a high-traffic café than a quiet hidden spot, so timing your visit makes a noticeable difference in how relaxed it feels. Overall, Tradesman Coffee Shop and Lounge is a strong downtown café option if you are looking for well-made pastries, reliable coffee, and a visually appealing space. It works best as a morning stop or casual meeting spot, especially if you are already in the area and want something more elevated than a standard chain café.
