    Honey Ham and Swiss Panini
    Bailey B.

    I had the smoked honey ham and Swiss panini. It was a bit expensive for a sandwich but I really enjoyed how crisp the bread was after they pressed it. The sandwich itself was delicious, but onions and tomato's and some kind of secret sauce I think? Even though it was early for dinner on a Sunday the place was pretty crowded, so I might recommend taking it to go.

    We visited Temptations seeing that this is a local Brookline breakfast spot. The sandwich I ordered was pretty average -- nothing to write home about. While it's not particularly notable, it's definitely a solid spot for a casual bite. One of the best parts of our visit was the convenience for getting work done. They have charging outlets under the seats and free Wi-Fi, which made it super easy to stay productive. We weren't the only ones who thought so; there were a few other folks working there as well. Overall, Temptations Cafe is a cool place to get some work done while grabbing a casual bite. Not the most remarkable food, but the atmosphere and amenities make it worth a visit.

    Chicken Florentine Panini

    The café is a cute and cozy little spot tucked into Brookline, with free wifi and various seating (booths, tables, and bars), though the place quickly gets packed on weekends. The staff were quick despite the influx of customers, and I really enjoyed the chicken florentine panini. I also ordered a hot coffee, but it tasted fairly burnt, and my friend similarly did not like her mocha. They have a large tea selection though, so perhaps one of those may have been the better choice.

    The Breakfast Sandwich

    Had the Breakfast Sandwich on a bagel with bacon. Very solid, would get again if in the mood for breakfast. Will be back to try other stuff in future if ever in the area.

    Don't get ham and Swiss panini unless you love mayo. Uneatable with the amount of salty mayo. Makes me wanna puke. Coffee was good tho.

    Iced espresso with almond milk
    Aya R.

    Dining method: Ordered at counter, to-go Item(s) ordered: Iced espresso with almond milk Speed: Waited for about 5 minutes Ambiance: Just a basic café. A little outdated (very 2010s wood) but nice and clean. Value: It cost $4.81 (and then some for tip) for the espresso and splash of almond milk, which is quite pricey. Especially since they barely used any almond milk, compared to a drink like a latte. The photo is the full amount including ice, splash of almond milk, and espresso. The review: Temptations café serves a really great espresso, and frankly one of the best I've had in Boston. It's a medium-dark roast with deep flavor. The almond milk perfectly complements the espresso. The staff were very kind and the barista offered to add more almond milk to my liking. I do have to say that this was more expensive than most places, so I likely would only return if I'm in the area and very much in need of a caffeine fix.

    Left: half the chicken Pesto Chicken Panini Right: half the Southwestern Turkey Panini

    A solid choice for a quick lunch or dinner! I just ordered for delivery but the paninis came hot and fresh and perfectly crisped on the outside. The Pesto Chicken had a good amount of chicken but I wish it had been heavier on the pesto and garlic flavor. The Southwestern Turkey Panini had just the right amount of tang with some light zest, just the way I wanted it. It also came with a big stack of turkey so it was quite filling. We also ordered chips on the side; this may have been a door dash issue but instead of getting to pick the chip flavor we just got Honey Dijon (which was actually pretty tasty).

    I got a chicken florentine panini and it was really good. I also got an ice mocha and it was okay, nothing special. it was a cute cafe, but kind of small.

    Temptations Cafe has great coffee with friendly service even at the busiest times. Nice environment to read a book or chat.
