After a moment of staring I simply just ask if she's ready for an order to which she replies with "I'm standing here". I'm going through a family medical crisis and the last thing I or anyone visiting a hospital need is to be greeted with rudeness for no reason whatsoever. Happened at 1:00pm the day of this posting in case management is curious. I was so taken aback I just left without ordering anything because I just couldn't believe what was happening. You guys seriously need to teach your workers there are some sympathy because this is a hospital and should be aware that people are in crisis and don't deserve to be treated like that

Stopped here for ice cream the other day! I love the location of this JP licks, it's the perfect…read morespot to hit after an esplanade sunset. There was plenty of seating inside and we had no trouble finding an open spot to sit down and enjoy our ice cream. There also wasn't a line which was really nice! My boyfriend got the mint chip in a waffle cone, and I got the salted caramel cookies n creme in a cup with sprinkles on it. While I do usually prefer my ice cream order to my boyfriends....i do have to admit that I liked his more. Don't skip the waffle cone like I did. Definitely a great stop to add to your day in boston! The flavors are always great, and there's seasonal flavors which rotate that are always fun to try.

I went with two scoops, black raspberry and brownie chocolate, and the brownie was killer. Rich, chocolatey, and totally worth standing outside in 30 degree weather to eat it.

Therefore, there were groups clamoring for the few tables that were inside. However, service was very friendly and the food options were delicious. Pastries and breakfast sandwiches are standouts and I particularly liked the avocado toast - a large portion avocado on very good bread with a variety of accompaniments. Pricing was reasonable and it's helpful to be able to order at the kiosk but as first timers it made it slightly confusing. We sat upstairs and it helped make things more relaxing as it was less crowded and plenty of room. I think this location is serving the hospital so I suspect it's always very busy.

Quick service (and friendly when we had questions). They have outdoor seating on a patio and a few tables inside. Outside is fun for people watching as this location is right on the main area into the park and many cute shops in Beacon Hill. It does get sunny though so on a hot day inside is a nice respite. Fresh and quality ingredients everywhere (and leading to their price point). I would definitely visit again for breakfast or lunch or any time in between. Just looking at their bakery case made my mouth water.

The vegetable frittata was delicious--fresh, satisfying, and a perfect light breakfast. We also shared a scone with fruit jam, which was very well made. Scones are highly subjective, but this one was exactly the style I enjoy: flavorful without being overly sweet. I didn't try the coffee myself, but my partner really enjoyed hers, which isn't surprising given Thinking Cup's reputation as one of Boston's standout coffee shops. Between the welcoming atmosphere, quality food, and excellent location on Newbury Street, I'd definitely return the next time I'm in Boston.

Now, just a disclaimer: I'm not the biggest matcha connoisseur yet, so I'm not sure how this ranks among other places, but regardless, I was looking forward to seeing the hype. Entering, it was fairly busy but not too packed, with a good amount of space to enjoy the matcha! After inspecting the menu, I love a matcha yuzu and saw they had a watermelon yuzu lemonade, and I was a bit skeptical, as I was told it tasted like a watermelon Jolly Rancher, and both of those aren't my favorite lol. But I chose to try both of the watermelon yuzu drinks and hope for the best because yolo lol, and it was pretty good, even better than the description.

We came for dinner and I got the turkey and brie sandwich. The brie melted in your mouth and paired perfectly with the crunchy vegetables and turkey in the sandwich. There was also a layer of fruit jam which created a salty sweet combination that was delicious. I also shared a warm custard bread pudding for dessert with a friend (be aware that you have to order this 30 minutes ahead as they bake it fresh!) which was so yummy - it was quite sweet but gooey and a lovely mixture of caramel flavors that paired nicely with the vanilla gelato. Prices are on the higher side but align with the attention that is paid to each plate! They have a super cute bookstore next to the cafe which is fun to browse. The set-up is within three stories of a house and the decor/design inside is very cozy - definitely worth checking out. On the third floor children's section there is a toy train that periodically circles the top of the room which is a fun touch too!

The wonderful waitress, Sabrina, saved this from being a one star review. First the food. You pay $15 on the kids menu for literally a scrambled egg on an unbuttered piece of toast. Nothing else on the plate. The $24 breakfast is two scrambled eggs on white toast with a few cherry tomorrows on top and a side of small meatball-looking turkey sausages. I was shocked, but since I was with my child, I didn't want to say a thing. There is absolutely NOTHING on this menu worth the cost or experience. Also, they do not pour the tea and if you ask for milk (typically served with dark teas) the waiter gives you impatient side-eye. The cafe has everything, EVERYTHING which could really make it a spectacular experience, and I can say that I will never go again or recommend. Get a muffin and coffee/tea at Tatte or Flour Bakery and skip this cafe and go straight to the book store. The bookstore is a joy.
