Great spot to hang out and people watch or just grab a lite bite and coffee. I had some work to do while visiting in Boston and this is the 2nd time I used this cafe for wifi. I am in love with their scones, especially the maple walnut. I want to try some of the soup sometime. It fills up at times but the lines go quickly and people don't mind sharing space. Great location with an amazing view of the bridge just around the corner if you want to enjoy your coffee outside.

Awesome selection, great staff and a cool, quiet scene to hang out in. The iced green tea has a delicious kick of cinnamon or spice to it that I love and highly recommend. Seating outside during the nicer months, too.

Very good latte. Excellent customer service. Very little time to wait in line. Good vegan options

Great little cafe near North Station with high quality beverages and baked goods. They have an excellent selection of fine cheeses as well. The seating is a little small so if you go during a busy time be prepared to wait a few minutes for hot drinks and fight a laptop user for a seat.

Great coffee and chocolate... what more do you need? I also tried the veggie wraps which for was pretty solid for packaged food. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Parking isn’t easy but if you’re in the area it’s worth checking out

I've been here a few times and the coffee is good, the issue I have is the cleanliness of the shops counter. Depending on what day and time it would be super clean and the other times I walked out. Fruitflies in the baked goods case and old crusty utensils on counter. I thought it was just an off day but i have seen it again and again.

Excellent coffee, free WiFi, and delicious food (from The Biscuit, in Somerville). VERY environmentally friendly!Not cheap (if you're expecting Dunkin prices), but you're paying for quality, not quantity. Large cappuccino and two sandwiches cost us ~$23.

Pretty good cold brew! Nice location on the water, and friendly staff. Highly recommend grabbing a drink here then walking along the Charles.

Fantastic, friendly staff. Great environment. Been coming here for a while and I always enjoy the visit. Coffee has always been on point. Great little selection of snacks and sammies

Great coffee, great staff! They also sell coffee and other items (like their homemade chocolate!). This little coffee shop is a little hidden but also has great views to the iconic Zakim bridge. Great place to take a laptop to get work done, they have many coffee options so you can be sure to find something you like. If you’re an instagrammer of all things food and artsy coffees, this is the place to you. Their cappuccinos and lattes are always so pretty, Alamo’s too pretty to drink! ☕ï¸
