Stopped by this sleek, minimalist looking bakery/coffee shop and decided to stop by. I tried a Turkey Bacon Cheddar Pannini on one of the staffs reccomendation. It was decent but nothing special for the price. The pastries looked really similar to items I've seen at Finale but I did not try them. read more

Sorelle - Cafes Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Coffee is ok. Staff is very nice. But every time I order a bagel, it comes with the tiniest amount of cream cheese and they never cut it in two. Small complaints, but it's just annoying. I am almost always disappointed in the baked items... but I keep coming back for some reason? Must be the convenience as it is right near work. read more

The service here is pretty much standard service I have encountered throughout Boston. Slightly friendly with a perpetual look of annoyance. I have been to numerous coffee shops around town, and I think this place takes the cake for the least friendly staff. Having moved here from California where you are constantly greeted with a smile, the baristas here just seem to be in a constant state of misery. That said, my iced latte was terrible. The syrup was sitting at the bottom as soon as I picked it up from the counter. If I wanted to pay 5 bucks for an amateur latte I could've done it myself. Only good thing about this place is the community table where you can he work done. read more

I go every other week that I'm in Boston during their lunch hour (yes, it is insane busy BUT I do get my Southwest Chicken Sandwich within barely 6 minutes): Cons * Hot chocolate is a pass * Menu list needs to be updated -- no homemade ice cream sandwich or soft serve yogurt??? * their staff seems overworked, probably hence why they seem rude. Since I've been going there for lunch it's clear to me that there's a reason why --- management or...? I'm an HR manager in NYC. Pros * Delicious sandwiches made less than 10 minutes (that's pretty good compared to other cafes in Boston) * Drool-worthy yogurt parfait and salads (big portions) * Good coffee, lattes, and cappuccino * Friendly staff once you get to know them and are nice to them (go back to point #3 in "Cons"). They pretty much mirror back whatever attitude you give them. That can be good and bad * Clean environment with good music My favorite sandwiches: Southwest Chicken Sandwich Prosciutto, Fig, and Goat Cheese Sandwich Sorelle Club Caprese 4 stars because I know the staff works very hard, especially during the insane lunch hour rush. Plus the food is delicious. UPDATE: I'm cutting off two stars from before, updating it to two stars. The disrespect that I've seen from the service side is appalling. Came in last week during lunch and had a change of heart on how I feel about this place. DON'T GO HERE. I can go to hundreds of other coffee shops that don't treat their customers and other coworkers like crap. read more

Desserts, desserts, desserts. You must go there for that. Thick and creamy creations along with cinnamon buns are must have for everyone. The ginger cookies are delicious and have a lovely aftertaste. read more

I absolutely love Sorelle! I work in the Seaport, and it's my go-to lunch spot. I have eaten the smoked gouda, craisins and spiced pecans over arugula salad several times a week for the past couple months - it is so good and $6.25 (a bargain in this area!). It's already pre-made, so I grab and go. The staff is always very friendly, too. Great work! read more

I was walking by today on my way to children's museum. I doubled back because I liked what I saw as I passed by the storefront. As I entered there were 3 people behind the counter and about 6 people sitting at the tables. I entered at around 3:15, and there were stands full of baked goods, and as I looked at the board to decide what I wanted to drink all these baked goods were being wrapped and pulled aside. I asked about the teas available, was handed a list and ordered, but even though I could have ordered something to go with my tea. Since it was all being put away and none of the workers seemed to care that I was there or that anyone else may be walking in the door, I wasn't going to spend any more of my money. The iced tea I ordered was o.k. -- they have MEM tea, it was a crimson berry and was fine. I would stop again, but earlier in the day to make sure the baked goods were still going to be around to be purchased. read more

Get your Sh*t together people. I come here twice per week and this is my last. Always rushing giving people attitude and annoyance looks. What is with that? This is a coffee place, people come to get their coffee and breakfast first thing and do not need your attitude. Also, if you clean the shelves make sure the dirt and crumbs don't go into the food, that's gross. read more

Ordered a frozen caramel latte. Was good; no complaints. The establishment is clean and modern looking---trendy, with a variety of coffee drinks and baked goods and sandwich selections. The staff---my server at least---was very friendly and kind. A nice little place to pop into while in the financial district/waterfront area. read more

Sorelle - Frozen Caramel Latte. - Cafes Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The service here is great! I ordered a bagel, egg, cheddar, and sausage sandwich on a plain bagel and it was delicious. The bagel was fresh and the egg and sausage were both warm and tasty. The one small problem I had was that the iced chai late I got had more ice than late which deluged the late after it say for a while. Over all it was a great Bostonian experience!! read more

Absolutely vile and disgusting. Should've listened to the other reviews. I was walking my dog and Tatte had a longer line, but parents wanted something quick. I ordered a tomato, avocado egg and cheese on a bagel. They had nothing but wheat bagels that got spread on with fake avocado , tiny piece of cheese that was burnt on(they also microwaved the bagel which made it rubber) and a fake square egg that was beyond inedible, resembled a toy that would be in a kids play kitchen. I wish I had a picture of this monstrosity but I had to throw it out. I'm sure the gas station serves better options. Save your appetite and money for tatte, or literally anywhere else. read more

I only went here twice while working in Boston. I stopped by to pick up a quick bite because it was next to my hotel. The service was satisfactory and the staff was marginally friendly. Nothing special on that front. I ordered a banana and nutella panini which was pretty good but not spectacular. The salad was a "pick up and go", and so it wasn't wonderful either. However, they both satisfied my hunger. If I'm near this cafe, I wouldn't hesitate to stop by but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. read more

I'm such a fan of this place as its right in my companies Boston office building. Great lattes(they have almond milk!!!), delicious quiches and grab and go salads. There's a few tables so if you need to meet someone or want to work there, it would suffice. Can't go wrong with this place. read more

I come here for a grab n go breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays around 8AM when nothing else in the Fort Point area is open. I'm glad I found this spot because they have a nice assortment of made to order breakfast sandwiches. My go-to is the potato frittata wrap. It's a nice alternative to the standard sandwich. The frittata itself is moist and flavorful. The only downside is that I wish they pressed the tortilla. I also got an iced coffee which i thought was fine. It's nothing like the nice cold brews you can kind at artisan coffee shops in Somerville, Cambridge, and sometimes Boston, but for the price point I was happy with it. I'd also like to give props to the woman who works there early weekend mornings. She's usually the only one there and is busting her butt off to make the customers happy. Should be 3.5 stars but rounding up to 4 because of the good vibes. read more

Really mediocre food. I had the prosciutto panini and the quality of the meat was not good. The fruit on my fruit tart were also a sugary mess and tasted mildly of detergent. The only plus side is that they are open if you are looking for a late lunch. Would not recommend. read more

I popped into Sorelle for what I was hoping to be a delicious to go breakfast, but I was sadly disappointed. My cinnamon danish was excessively salty - not very sweet at all! - and my whole milk chai has the consistency and flavor of spicy water. All the baked goods were large and lovely, but now I have no desire to try anything else. The staff, despite other reviews here, was very pleasant! read more

I came in for a quick cappuccino one weekday afternoon, and I agree with the other reviewers with the staff being a bit confused and inexperienced. Fair enough, it just opened. The cappuccino was bitter though and the food on display looked terrible! Nothing is "house made" and the pastries and bagels looked rock hard. The prices seemed high for what you get. There was a pizza on display that just looked so generic and bland. But I can't judge because I didn't try it. I do think the interior design is very urban chic and wish the food/coffee was just, well... good. read more

Stopped by on my way to the Burner Bazaar today to grab lunch, and it was quite good. Despite having huge plate glass windows and a very open floor plan, the space was still adequately intimate and warm. I really enjoyed the overall aesthetic, though it may admittedly not be for everyone. I got the caprese pressed sandwich, which was perfectly toasted and had just enough cheese and tomato to hit the spot. It was a little on the sweeter side, which I found strange, but still enjoyable. The peppermint latte was also very tasty, though it tasted more like milk after the halfway mark. My boyfriend got the bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel, which looked very good as well. I didn't get to snag a bite because he inhaled it pretty quickly. :P The staff was very friendly, but this is a counter joint, not a full-service restaurant. You have to pay attention because they just set your stuff on the counter when it's done. I'm sure that makes for confusion during the week, but as it was 1130 on a Saturday, the place was basically empty. read more

I was on a trip to Boston and needed an easy lunch. I had a ham, cheddar, and avocado sandwich. It was very good and reasonably priced. They had a lot of other sandwiches on the menu that looked appealing and not quite your usual sandwich-shop offering. It's pretty small so it might be better to get your meal to-go. We got a table but they filled up quickly. read more

Looked for a cafe on a Sunday afternoon which was probably fruitless, but we were able to find this place. The inside is minimalist decoration, excellent in my opinion. The one bathroom was sufficient and clean. Two staff were out in the front. My wife is from WA and for her to be able to find a place on the East Coast that makes coffee the right way is next to impossible.. but Sorelle did it. For that, 3 stars. The losing points of this place were that it seems they do not know how to bake certain things. The croissant was huge, and that portion size was nice, however it was rather more like a loaf of bread than the flaky croissant texture we expected. Free wi-fi is free. read more

I discovered Sorelle by walking by and seeing the huge menu on the wall. It's downtown location has only been open for a few weeks. I can honestly say that there is nothing else like it downtown. The sandwiches and salads are creative and healthy. The bake goods make me beg for a cookie. The one draw back is that it's a bit on the pricey side for what it is. They are also open on weekends! read more

The worst place, first what we ordered we never ever got. Then the grilled sandwiches we ordered were cold and if that is not enough. There was a BUG!!!!!!! A BUGGGG!!!!! It was disgusting and I came across as I was eating the food! They refunded for only one sandwich and thats it! This place is horrendous!!!!! I would never suggest anyone come here! read more

I have had their bagel sandwiches, breakfast burritos, all kinda meh. Though their scones are ridonk!!!! I've had blueberry, tri-berry, blackberry pear, always awesome. Go there and have a scone... Service is fast and moderately friendly, they just seem a little impatient. read more

Sorelle is a gem of a sandwich/cafe in seaport. The coffee is average but the sandwich and food there is very good. I ordered the southwestern chicken sandwich and make sure you ask for it to get grilled! It definitely will not disappoint you. It's a lot of food for a very decent price. I come here quite often for work and it's a very good spot to grab a lunch. It's also quite empty during lunchtime when everywhere else in seaport is super busy. read more

I just had a soup, sandwich, iced tea, and "Congo bar" for $12.94 I've never been more satisfied with a meal. Everything was delicious, I knew what I was eating, and it was very affordable. Definitely try the roasted vegetable panini, it's got a generous portion of goat cheese, and it's wonderful. Not to mention that Congo bar could easily feed two normal sized adults or one me. read more

Two visits to Sorelle, two completely different experiences. The first time I came to Sorelle, I was amazed at the adorable little cafe next to the water. The prices were very reasonable and the employees were friendly. There was an abundance of baked goods and other breakfast items available. I ordered a bagel sandwich and a blueberry scone for my kids. Both of the items I ordered were delicious and fresh, and my normally picky kids ate without any complaints. I was very impressed. The second time around, we made the twenty minute drive into Boston just for Sorelle, expecting the same experience we had before. The customer service and prices were still the same, but that's when the similarities ended. I ordered two bagel sandwiches and two scones, but Sorelle was only able to sell us one sandwich and one scone. Their overall supply of food was minimal to none, at ten o'clock in the morning on a Sunday. When we received our food, the bagel was stale and the scone tasted like it had been left out for days. My eleven year old said it was the equivalent of cardboard. I was very unimpressed, but most of all I was shocked. My whole family was expecting a nice brunch by the water, but we did not get a satisfactory meal whatsoever. I am close to positive that I will not return to Sorelle any time in the near future. read more

Food: good. Food prep guys: great. Service behind the register and barista: rude. read more

Great place to grab a sandwich or pastry. Also love that they have a Happy Hour for Coffee and Tea. People who work there are awesome. Sadly they discontinue Lemon Squares which were amazing. Hope they bring them back. read more

Yelp saves me, once again, from an overpriced Starbucks experience! I got off the Silver Line bus from the airport hungry for breakfast and exploring. A leisurely stop at Sorelle was just what I needed. The interior is pleasantly modern, with cool concrete / steel finishes, but the staff are Boston-friendly (say what you will; I've always found natives of this city to be very welcoming.) The cashier wanted to chat about the Carrie Underwood concert, while the guy who made my bagel commented on the book I was reading; we talked for several minutes about the impossibility of fitting fantasy fiction into a busy life with children. They weren't smothering, just friendly. For me, that's one of the best things about neighborhood coffee shops. I ordered an almond-flavored latte, which was sweetened just a little less than I like it. However, they keep sugar syrup at the counter so that was easy to adjust, and I'd always rather add more sugar than drink something too sweet! I also enjoyed a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese, lettuce, tomato and smoked salmon. It was nicely put together, so I could eat it sandwich-style with very little mess, and the ingredients were fresh, a nice combination of warm (bagel) and cool (toppings.) I read, ate, and enjoyed my breakfast to the tastefully-muted strains of an emo-soulful pop singer. Too soon, I was out the door and onto my next adventure, but I'll be back if I'm in the area! The brownies called my name continuously throughout my stay, but I successfully avoided them. This time. read more

Average corporate coffee shop/sandwich joint with quick fast, simple food at high prices. It filled a void with vegan options.

Can't believe today was the first time I have ever been to this place. I've always thought when I walked by from a far that is was a cool European furniture place but I was wrong!!!! I was planning on going to Bolocco next door and decided to stop by. I fell in love with the simple yet elegant decor and the openness. I was having a hard time deciding what I wanted to try and decided to go with grilled eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, arugula, basil and goat cheese on a baguette that was pressed. AMAZINGGGG....it was sooo yummy! I can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu. If you are looking for tasty artisan sandwiches that aren't too expensive, check this place out!!! read more

Cute place, and potential for a nice place to set up shop, though I did not get a chance to do so (I did not know the WiFi password). That being said, the iced coffee is, um, interesting (and by interesting in this instance I mean it tasted like the coffee had been burnt or something). I took a few sips and threw it out, because it was not drinkable. So I can see why people might like it, but I'm not a fan. read more

Not sure why everyone is hating on this place but I cam in for an iced coffee today and the staff were friendly, efficient, and nice! My only recommendation is: their almond milk is not the good barista kind; it collects @ the bottom of the cup so they should get a better brand. Also: there is no "extra coffee" bowl when you are putting milk in your coffee therefore you are stuck trying to shove it in the garbage can that has a little swinging door. Otherwise I am a fan and will be back! Just come before the rush at 7am and you are golden! read more

We grabbed 2 sandwiches and a brownie right before boarding a bus back to NYC. About 2 hours into the trip, we were both thrilled to have such scrumptious victuals to tide us over. I had the portobello mushroom sandwich, which is a wonderful vegetarian option. Boyfriend had a bacon egg and cheese sammie with crispy bread (he said it was great). The portobello was meaty and well seasoned and the aioli gave a nice creaminess to the whole affair. Next time we are in Boston, we'd go back. read more

Cheap and cozy place really closed to the waterfront. Healthy food, design space and a lot of hot sandwich choice. And so good ;) read more

I have been in Sorelle many times and have yet to have anything but extremely positive experiences and some of the best lattes I have ever tasted! I can't speak to the experiences others have had that they found unsatisfactory, but I have found the staff to be friendly and fun, fast and talented (like I said, the lattes are awesome), and the atmosphere open, light and relaxing. The baked goods are so terrific it's hard to choose which one to have. So, I give Sorelle five stars based on my four or five visits. All super. John read more

Got the iced chai and it was just a boxed Costco pack with milk poured over top of a glass that is 95% large ice cubes. It tastes like almost nothing and it was incredibly disappointing. They seem to make no effort and still get business of all the people around downtown. The only nice thing here is the decor which is nice & minimalist. read more

I didn't know this cafe until I visited the BSA Space next to it another day. I passed by this modern, white, clean looking cafe and really wanted to give it a try. My visited Sorelle the first time in an afternoon, and was in a mood of having some snack before dinner. So i went into Sorelle and saw lots of pastry in front of me. Im such a fan of scone, but i didn't end up getting one because i saw something even more attractive, the flourless chocolate cake. I have to say it was very good! I have a pretty sweet tooth but I don't like when desserts are too sweet. Their flourless chocolate cake was not too sweet and not too bitter; however, it could be a bit heavy and overwhelmed after having half of it. I stopped after eating half of it cuz its a bit too rich for me, and saved the rest for the next day. But overall its a very good dessert and i enjoyed it a lot. Another day i visited Sorelle again and my friends and I planned to have lunch there after the good first time impression. I had a turkey cranberry sandwich on wheat toasts, and shared a lemon bar with my friends. The sandwich is good; there was a think layer of turkey and the cranberry sauce makes the sandwich very light but flavorful. One only down side about the cranberry sauce is that it made the toast a bit soggy, which wasn't that clean to eat. But I felt quite satisfied after eating half of the sandwich due to the amount of turkey they put in it. The lemon bar is good too! Like the flourless chocolate cake, it wasn't too sweet. The sourness from the lemon was a very good ending flavor to our meal. In general, it is a cafe i would revisit again. The staffs are friendly and the dining environment is very comfortable and relaxing, they also have moderate amount of sandwich and beverage choices. In my next visit, I think i will try their scone and see if i like it or not. read more

I could forgive the deeply mediocre tomato on my sandwich, since Sorelle is a bakery first, and not a sandwich shop. But when the bread itself is the worst part, there's no going back. Too sweet, not fresh. Will not return for sandwiches/bread, might try a treat in the future. read more

I really like it here in general. They have great coffee and lots of food options, and no one seems to mind if you sit and work for a long time. I wish they were open later though, and sometimes it could be just a little bit cleaner. Overall though, it's one of my favorite places to hang out in Charlestown. read more
