no free wifi, but a great outdoor seating area for when it's warm! awesome sandwiches, too.
The 777 sandwich is my favorite. I'm going to start asking for more of the cole slaw (dee-lish).
After coming here incident free with my dog Aki for countless checkins outside. They suddenly have a no dog outside policy. If you are a dog owner why not goto shermans market and enjoy less lame ppl?
Elyssa ConleyNovember 13, 2013The Pallet had a nice combination of flavors but, a little heavy on the fig jelly. It was just a little too sweet.
The egg sandwiches are delicious! Everything is moderately expensive, but a nice treat!
Michael FisherSeptember 24, 2011Not sure if they only offer it on FluffFest, but try a dollop of Fluff in the Guatemalan roast. Not something I'd do every day, but it's a nice change of pace!
- In the winter, their back room with a fireplace is the best.
Hayley MattisonJuly 7, 2014Great coffee, but no free wifi and dogs aren't even allowed outside!? This place could be so much better...
Everything here is delicious but the prices are insane. No free Wifi.
The Poplar salad is really good (includes a scoop of curry tofu salad).
Secret BostonNovember 5, 2010the sandwiches are bomb.** tip left by Andy Pyman on Secret Boston Read more
try the Vietnamese coffee. I like the iced version best.
That you have to pay, let alone a $8 to use wifi, is absolutely absurd.
The menu on the board is too small for me to read, so I just guess shit to order. Sometimes they have it.
Nina MartinApril 6, 2010Savor one of Bloc 11's (direct trade) coffees in their converted bank vault seating.
Sit in the warm sun at the windows and drink a perfect iced latte.
A "mini" is their name for a cortado/gibraltar/flat white.
