    Outstanding baked goods including biscuits and scones! Basic counter service. Few seats and tiny tables. Very popular spot. Drip coffee was decent. Lots of smart people LOL....

    Build Your Own Egg Sandwich, Iced Mocha, Mocha, Ginger Turmeric Latte
    Salma S.

    I loved my brunch at Solid Ground Cafe. I built my own egg sandwich, and it was amazing. I loved how there were so many options to choose from - it makes it customizable and each person can enjoy their own experience. The portion was generous, and it was very well priced. I also ordered the turmeric ginger latte, and I was blown away - it was so unique and delicious. The place is very small, but has a cute and cozy vibe. The service is incredible - the servers were all so friendly and sweet, and they really added to the positive experience. I really enjoyed my brunch here - I'd recommend for a quick, casual, well priced and yummy breakfast!

    A very cute local coffee shop in Brigham circle! I got a hot vanilla latte to go and was very satisfied with it. Seating indoors is pretty limited so most people took their food/drinks to go. Their breakfast sandwiches and bagels looked very tasty so I'll definitely be back to try those.

    " Solid Ground Cafe is so welcoming, delicious, fresh coffee and pastries ". This place is a whole vibe . Think peace love and earthy . The vibe is the best. I really feel so welcomed and appreciated here . The coffee is good and pastries as well . If you can get here early it's better , it's so good they run out fast . It's a small little cafe with lots of love . Nice plants and big windows that offer lots of natural light. Parking is difficult but manageable.

    Items ordered: Cortado and Bibingka pastry Value: Prices are reasonable! Coffee was $4 and the pastry was $3. The Review: A self-proclaimed coffee shop frequenter, I have never seen a place like Solid Ground. They have a unique set of food offerings in addition to standard espresso drinks. It is a down-to-Earth local joint and also a hip spot to get locally roasted brews. The pastry was gluten-free and wrapped in a banana leaf, which was pretty special. The staff are very kind, and they have a "pay it forward" program--customers pay for food and drinks ahead of time, and the local community in need can stop by for a free coffee or a sandwich. Great vibes at Solid Ground, 5/5.

    Build your own egg sandwich on sourdough with impossible sausage and tomato jam.

    Was in the area for work and wanted a quick breakfast. Everyone is so nice here. Got an egg sandwich on sourdough with impossible sausage and tomato jam - delicious! Iced latte was also great. There are just a few tables so plan accordingly if wanting to dine in! They also have a cool pay it forward program.

    Solid Ground Cafe, located in a unassuming location on the main street flanked by multiple other restaurants, has a small entryway that was easy to miss my team went here for breakfast. Inside the café, they serve a variety of breakfast sandwiches and other sandwiches, as well as delicious seasonal lattes and the most incredible pastries. Their ginger molasses cookie keeps bringing me back more- it has a chewy consistency and a large size that keeps me nibbling at it throughout the day at a fair price of $2.50. The rock solid was so good it brought me back another day. I keep wanting to try their other cookie flavors including chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin, but their ginger molasses is that good. They have a solid matcha latte as well, but their turmeric ginger is pretty subtle. I got it with whole milk so your mileage may vary if you get it undiluted. They have a cute pay it forward system, where you can buy drinks and sandwiches for other folks. The only downside I can see is that they never notified me when my online order was ready to pick up, which resulted in my food sitting out on the counter for over an hour and possibly cause of my stomach ache after eating my build my own cream cheese and ham bagel sandwich. They have a very cozy location with maybe three tables max so don't plan to work here for long at busier hours. The window is filled with cute succulents and other coffee themed decor, completing the hipster coffee look of the entire place. Service here is friendly and quick unless they're all busy making orders, in which case plan to wait a few minutes.

    I recently stopped by this Mission Hill neighborhood coffee shop after a doctor's visit nearby. It was super delicious. I had an iced raspberry white mocha with oat milk and a Lucia special sandwhich. The sandwich was made with spicy tomato jam and cheddar cheese on pressed sourdough bread. Prices were very reasonable and the staff was very friendly.

    This coffee shop is for people who like dunkin and Starbucks. It's cute inside, looks like every other local coffee shop, but the drinks and food are not artisanal, small batch, or unique. The sandwich was like a bland Starbucks sandwich with added mayonnaise. I ordered a chai latte and it was very sweet and tastes mostly like cinnamon. If you're a coffee/tea snob like me I'd try somewhere else. If you want a simple cup of coffee with sugar this is the place for you.

    Build your own bagel sandwich

    Great place for a quick bagel sandwich and a matcha latte. Service was nice and fast and the food was solid for the price. The inside of the cafe is very cute and is a nice place for a quick meal or a chat with friends. Looking forward to returning soon!

    Cute plants in the window

    I finally made it to Solid Ground and tried a couple of treats. I enjoyed the London Fog scone (Huge & I didn't think it was too sweet even with the frosting), and I really loved the mini coconut bibingka. This gluten free, dairy free muffin had a dense texture and was barely sweet. It's a very small space, so seating can be hard. I also got the jasmine Mem tea & my husband had a small americano (2 shots of Speedwell) . You can build your own egg sandwiched, but note to vegetarians that the bacon and eggs are on a shared space with a shared spatula. I love the pay it forward option too.

    Stopped by here for breakfast. Husband and I got build your own egg sandwiches. While the option to customize your breakfast was good, the avocado spread didn't taste so fresh and the bread the sandwich was on seemed just like sliced bread out of a plastic bag. I also had wish the menu had explicitly stated eggs would be poached. Coffee was smooth, and decaf lattes were possible thankfully. Ambiance was fun; I enjoyed seeing the local artists' work while I waited. I also appreciated the energizing music. Would not be opposed to coming back, but would not order the same thing again.

    Iced chai latte, dirty chai

    If you're in the area and need a quick bite for breakfast, this is your place! Solid Ground is a sweet coffee shop that features local artists on its walls and little plants on the windows. This place is rather small so I usually take my food and drinks to go, but I do think it makes the place feel cozy. The service is usually pretty fast. I'm not much of a coffee person, but their broad range of drinks keeps me coming back. I love their breakfast bagels as well, they are customizable to your liking. Today I had an iced chai, which had the perfect amount of spice and was a great coffee alternative for me. Ive had a few iced chais around boston and this was probably the best one thus far. The breakfast bagel was filling and just what I needed to get my day started. I will say they could have added a little more bacon and I did find a random piece of jalapeño pepper (?!) when I was finishing up my sandwich, so they could be a bit more careful with the ingredients. Overall, this place is great and I recommend it for anyone looking for some food and to support a local business here in mission hill.

    Chocolate trained artisan Larry Burdick brings true authentic flavors of chocolate to you!…read more Are you looking for something authentic and special from your chocolate? Then let me introduce a chocolate brand that you can love . These little shops are an amazing authentic chocolate bar and store, no alcohol; just chocolate and a cafe. They serve a French style cuisine of fancy breakfast ! Wow! The food is amazing. They make coffee the way it should be done. It's a little glimmer of caffeine done way above your standards. The cappuccino was just a way that "was the way!" It replaces life back into you! Now let's explore the process of chocolate. They mass produce their chocolate but use a hand piping technique. They make the chocolates in cute little characters. The mice are the most interesting and yes you can play with it and then eat it. The hot chocolate is the best in the world. They have a few locals to try here . The Boston one stole my heart. We will return to this local again .

    When I visited my kid in Cambridge during my spring break, the conversation somehow turned to LA…read moreBurdick. And since I've never visited one before, I was all in. Coming here ended up being exactly what we needed: a warm, cozy spot and a really solid cup of hot chocolate. L.A. has a comfortable setup with a small dine-in area- and, it wasn't even busy when we came here which made it even nicer. There's a whole section for chocolate truffles filled with interesting sounding flavors- I'll come back to this in a second. There's an island in the middle stocked with gift items and other treats and the ordering counter has pastries and sweets. Out croissant was perfect for sharing and filled nicely with Nutella. While everything looked great, the chocolate truffles didn't quite hit the mark for me. I know the gourmet truffles I'm used and these aren't it for me..... that's just me. These didn't feel as rich or substantial in flavor as I was expecting. But listen....I'll come back with my kid ASAP for a hot chocolate!

    What a great bakery to stop by in Coolidge Corner. There was constantly people popping in and out…read moreso you can tell it's a crowd favorite. I came here with 2 friends to work from home and we had a great time! I can attest it's a solid spot to WFH. They have one large (more communal) table which is where we sat, as well as a handful for 2 seaters for folks to either sit alone or across from a friend. Clearly a lot of people come here to WFH, but you can't blame them. The WiFi is free and we didn't experience any disruptions, there's great lighting in addition to the natural light from their floor to ceiling glass walls, and the music is so good here. They were playing all 2010s indie, pop, and alternative hits. We all loved it. I ordered a decaf iced latte with Carmel and it was delicious! A bit on the pricey side, but it is what it is. :) My friends got a sandwich and also tried their coffee and really liked it too. We will be back!

    Bakey is a great place to go in the Coolidge Corner area of Brookline! They have so many delicious…read morebakery items and coffee/tea beverages. They have standard coffee and tea, beverages, but also some fun seasonal drinks and they have non-dairy milk alternatives! All of the bakery items are gorgeous and I don't think you could go wrong with whatever you choose to try. I appreciate that for the bakery items. They also display the allergens on the little cards, which is super convenient for anyone with allergies or restrictions. The service is friendly and there is a surprising amount of seating inside, which is great to take advantage of the natural light from the big windows. There's also some seating outside when the weather is nice.
