One of the best cups of coffee we have had in a long while! (And we spent the first part of this week trying coffee shops in NYC.) We didn’t try anything else but the coffee alone is worth a 5 star review. Keep it up folks!

I love coming here to do work! The music is great and so is the food and drinks. It gets pretty busy on the weekend mornings, but I never really struggled to find a seat to do work. This is definitely my go to spot to study

If I lived in Boston I would probably be here every single week. The coffee had so much flavor and the selection of baked goods they had was spectacular. Not to mention the breakfast sandwiches, avocado toast, and paninis they had to offer. To put the cherry on top they also had a bar in the corner for later in the day, and the vibe in this place is like a classy old school feel which they nailed with all decor. This place is so sick and if you dont go here when in Boston youre missing out on the best coffee shop that city has to offer.

There is seating available outside if youd rather enjoy the weather while enjoying your drink/pastry or breakfast sandwich.I loved the inside of this establishment. The decor was pretty cool inside, there was an old bike, old newspaper clippers, old style typewriter etc. There is seating available inside, booths and window seats bar style with outlets under the bar table to charge your electronics. (Very convenient and cool).We had intentions of getting breakfast but I assumed sandwiches were made on the spot instead they were pre-made and sitting under the glass with the other pastries.Staff was friendly and wearing mask. Mask are mandated inside businesses in Boston. We ordered our drinks and received them shortly after and added sugar and cream at the condiment station. The coffee and cappuccino were really good. That stuffed croissant was sooo good. The cream filling inside is sweet and plentiful, it began dripping out the bottom after a few bites.

Very cool atmosphere! The service was friendly. I got the breakfast sandwich which was delicious. I also ventured out of the norm and got the season Honey Bee Lavendar Latte (iced)...I was nervous but it was awesome!

Fast service, coffee was not the freshest, good tea options, and tons of seating. The fruity pebble croissant that is featured on their yelp is a specialty that they only make on certain days. The young lady didnt know how to tell me that it was basically false advertisement on their end. I was able to try a fruity pebble rice krispy treat but it was dry. Wish they wouldnt have the croissant featured as their specialty as it brings customers in and disappoints.

Super cool coffee bar and lounge. Awesome spot for work, meetings, hangout, or just to get food or drinks. Bar open on weekends, but great food and drinks every other time. Great spot!

This is one of my favorite coffee shop in Boston. Located in the Financial District next I the Hilton Hotel, it is not in a heavy trafficked street, if the shop is elsewhere, I am sure it would be packed as the coffee and the interior decoration was the top of its class.I always enjoy coming here during Christmas time and get a cup of nice cappuccino next to the Christmas tree.The service is friendly and fast, and they sure how to make a cup of great coffee.

Cool vibe and concept. I like the coffee shop plus full-service bar/lounge combination! Great place to get some work done or just catch up with a friend. Staff I interacted with were friendly too! Connected to the Hilton right in downtown.

Review №17

The antique and industrial interior design of this space makes it worth going to alone - but the food was IN-sane! Whoever heard of a red velvet croissant? Or homemade s’mores pop tarts! Bring a new date here to impress them!Only complaint is the google map location shows the hotel entrance, rather than the actual entrance, which is further down the block. Took me a second to figure out where to go!

Super comfortable atmosphere with great decor and nice music. Fantastic to have a nice breakfast on a Sunday or just to hang out and work or be creative.You order at the counter, but that doesnt mean that youre less attended to. The staff is super friendly and made sure our breakfast came out perfectly. I highly recommend trying the breakfast sandwich. Its a unique combination of biscuit, bacon, egg, and cheese, which I havent tasted like this anywhere else before.You also want to make sure that you finish your meal with one of their delicious croissants. Special thanks to Antonio who made our visit even more enjoyable and memorable. Well definitely be back to check out what this place has to offer at night!

Im a traveler by heart, eater by stomach and drinker of coffee by none. However, I decided to drink some coffee after hearing a bridesmaid cry about how its not going to be her turn next door most of the night. I tried their Macchiato. I felt like Ive unlocked a part of my life I never knew existed. I feel like Im somewhere between Cloud 9 and the sweet salvation of eternal life. My wife deeply expressed her praise to this little shop for their ability to wow us with their coffee. Furthermore, if youre here on the weekend and you have the grace to try their Birthday Cake Croissant, do it. Youll thank you and understand what true happiness is.

Review №26

Poor quality and overpriced, especially considering the other great options in the area. The coffee was very acidic and sour, the breakfast sandwich was rubbery and cold in the middle, and the muffin was dry and stale. Would not recommend.

Fantastic atmosphere and decor. Has a bit of everything for everyone. Desserts are creative and yummy; coffee is prepared well; even has a bar. Comfortable booth tables with WiFi and outlets. Pretty much the perfect coffee shop.

This coffee shop is a warm and cozy place for reading, working on the laptop, or simply enjoying a hot beverage with friends and family. I ordered a Honeybee Lavendar Latte and a delicious, warm Boston cream croissant. Simply heavenly! Free wifi, spacious seating, and bar to top it off. Couldn’t ask for a more perfect setting this holiday season. Really magical.

Visiting from out of town, the coffee is fantastic! I ordered an iced hazelnut latte with oatmilk and it was so smooth and refreshing. The food is a bit pricey, but it may just seem that way since were not from here. The ingredients were super fresh, and their breakfast sandwich biscuit tasted homemade in the best way possible.

New fav coffee shop in Boston! This is a great spot with a serious lounge vibe. Love the oddities and antiques around the space and love how this place feels like it could easily transition day to night (though I think they are operating on limited hours at the moment due to COVID). They also have bathrooms, WiFi, lots of space/nooks, and outlets which makes it a great place to work!

The environment, atmosphere, food, coffee, all of it was astounding! The breakfast sandwich and the red velvet croissant can’t be beat. I’d eat this way more often if I lived closer.

Review №45

The croissants here are AMAZING! So fresh and so worth the money. I purchased a Fruity Pebbles + Reese’s Pieces and both had a filling on the inside. The croissants are also MASSIVE! I was only able to finish half a croissant. I definitely enjoyed the fruity pebbles more (mainly because I’m not too much of a fan of peanut butter, but if you love chocolate + peanut better, then definitely try it).I enjoy the ambiance of the place and the decor is on point. A great place to study because the place isn’t loud and the workers there are amazing! Very gentlemen like and also very good looking (just saying).The beverages (referring to the water bottle and cans of sodas) are a bit overpriced though.Other than that, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! If you follow their Instagram, they do fun secret croissants too. Definitely check their Instagram and this place out.P.S.,Great place for a date. ;)

I absolutely adore this coffee shop! My workplace is across the street, which can be dangerous, but is truly such a blessing. The workers know my order and are always incredibly friendly. They put time and effort in to making each drink just right. And every single bakery item/ sandwich is delicious (trust me, Ive tried way too many). Highly recommend over the typical starbucks or dunkins that otherwise inhabit this area of town, worth a stop for sure!!

As its name, you cannot expect quiet atmosphere, but rhythm of music. I ordered a cup of cappuccino. The taste was great - just the right level of acidity for coffee and milk. Personally I love foamy cappuccino. Overall with the decoration and music, i would rate it 5 starts.

The signature croissants are nothing but delicious, if a bit expensive. They are definitely shareable. The coffee is good, and the vibe and service here are great. But the fact that it’s attached to the Hilton gets makes me less excited about it.

Disappointing. The place was packed for a Sunday morning, but the selection of baked goods was extremely limited. Settled on a apple cinnamon muffin. It was probably 2 or 3 days old and incredibly stale. It ended up in the trash.The coffee is super strong and no amount of sugar could remove the bitterness.Not impressed.

This place has so much charm. All of the decor is just perfect. Throwback and takes you back to the time of a Tradesmen. Fresh juices, delicious pastries. Sergio was such a wonderful barista, he made us feel welcome and talked to us for a while. Having employees who converse and make us feel comfortable really makes for a much better enjoyable experience.

Nice big lounge with multiple seating. They bring the order to your table which I think is fancy for coffee shops. I visited the place in the evening on a weekday and it was pretty crowded. The ambience was lively and the antique interiors give it a very classy look. I had a very tasty Hazelnut Cappuccino with yummy Chocolate Croissant. Will visit again!

Pro tip: Flavored croissants dont come out till 10am.Ordered the mocha and the Americano. Not the strongest coffee, but definitely pleasantly drinkable. I usually like to visit coffee shops to buy roasted beans to bring home but they sold bags from another roaster. Croissants were tasty but wished they were warmed.
