Tim LuoApril 14, 2016I got the drip coffee and it was very smooth. They pour light roasts well! The baristas were very friendly. They'll address you by name when they serve your drink. The indoor patio has great lighting!- Djaniella D.September 20, 2015MUST try their homemade hazelnut latte - hot or iced! It reminds me of a ferrero rocher, just without all the added sweetness! It's extremely good!
- Render does pourovers right, and they usually offer an option from Tandem Coffee Roasters in Portland, ME, one of New England's best coffee roasters. Get the Tandem pourover every time.
From lattes to pour-overs to cold brews, Render does it better than everyone else. Never bitter, always delicious. Plan on spending at least 5 minutes waiting, but it's well worth it.
Manuela McDanalSeptember 8, 2018Coffee is amazing and the make your own breakfast sandwiches too!! Very nice and cozy ambiance
Julia MacDonaldJanuary 26, 2016I had the hot chocolate the other day and it was the best cup ive ever had!! Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is warm and inviting.
- CollegeFashionistaJanuary 14, 2014Render Coffee serves a wide variety of direct trade coffee that packs amazing flavor. They also exclusively serve it pour-over style, so it's fun to watch them prepare your cup of joe!
Adam K.April 4, 2017Legit bagels. Try the jalapeno cream cheese! Hazelnut latte flavor is made in house but it's a bit weird and grainy.
DeskploreFebruary 2, 2014Work/Study Experience - 4, Food & Service - 4. Nice Coffee shop serving good coffee & tea and tasty sandwiches. Great Service, reliable WIFI and plenty of power outlets available.
KeshavAugust 10, 2014It's serendipitous find, tucked in the corner with jazz in the background and amazing selection of coffees. Personalized sandwiches will hit the spot! 9/10 I say
Moushumi ChaudhuryMay 22, 2017Lovely neighborhood cafe with a calm atmosphere. Sit in the atrium area in the back of you can, which gives you a lot of light and greenery.
Vanessa GatlinDecember 15, 2013(Best of Boston 2013-COFFEE) Improper Bostonian says, "The Golondria has notes of caramel and chocolate, it's closest to a dark roast. The Finca Nueva Armenia is a little nutty, more light bodied."- Sahil KathawalaJuly 23, 2015Pour-over's well worth the wait. Really beautiful space with lots of natural light, an outdoor patio and free WiFi (pw: coffeetime)
Youssof MalOctober 30, 2015Possibly the best coffee in Boston. I'm not a fan of hazelnut flavored coffee, but they're homemade flavoring is divine, a must try.- NicholasOctober 29, 2014One of Boston's true boutique coffee shops. They serve Counter Culture (NC based roaster). Try Barismo for a Massachusetts based cup of joe.
Always a great selection of beans. Worth the walk if you are near Symphony Hall or Berklee.
Elza LambergsJuly 18, 2016This is my favorite cafe. The trees and the breeze on the back patio along with good coffee makes for a perfect spot.- Brendon SmithMay 13, 2018Nice South End spot serving coffee from Tandem and Counter Culture. Slow down and enjoy a pour-over.
SoxinlySeptember 25, 2014Great coffee! 5 different kinds of milk! Pretty hardcore even with west coast standard.
Celeste M.August 5, 2013Great coffee and awesome employees! So far best coffee place I've been to on this trip.
Alex ShuckDecember 22, 2015Excellent coffee, breakfast sandwich is one of the best in the South End. New wifi password is "password"
Jane Bulnes-FowlesJune 30, 2012Espresso Royale vet Chris and wife Ali have created a little slice of coffee heaven. Grab a seat in the solarium and relax.
Family friendly establishment, friendly staff, and excellent customer service. Delicious egg sandwich on 7-grain!
Michael BradyMay 26, 2013The best coffee I've had in Boston. The elevated outdoor seating area is a big plus. The veggie wrap was underwhelming but my friend's quiche looked nice, although I didn't taste it.- The malted cold brew and the gorgeous indoor/outdoor patio make Render Coffee damn near perfect.
Candace BlydenburghSeptember 19, 2014Try a regular cup of coffee - it is so good that I drank it without cream or sugar and Ihave not done that in 20 years!
From 7am to 10am they have one of their coffees available in large batches. Perfect when you don't have time to wait for the single cup pour over coffee.
Sofia PapastamelosApril 19, 2016One of the best coffee shops in the city. Grab yourself a pour over!
Good luck finding a place to sit with the laptop army occupying all the tables. Please install some standing-only countertops so patrons can eat!
Seahee ParkSeptember 5, 2012I visited here from NYC. Absolutely LOVE everything about this cafe!!!! Best coffee shop I have ever been to.
Sara TaylorJuly 18, 2015Their iced coffee is delicious. It is also a lovely light filled space to work in.
Gianna NebbiaOctober 31, 2016I don't love their coffee but I think that's more of a me problem-It has a bold aftertaste. They're just the nicest workers!
Joel FNovember 27, 2013Great coffee, great food, fast wifi, and an open environment. I really like this place.
Best coffee in Boston. But it's 4 minute pour over, so be prepared to wait. They use Counter Culture beans.
Matt ConnollyAugust 14, 2015By no means the fastest service in town but it's worth it for the breakfast sandwiches.
Emrecan DMarch 16, 2015Great coffee, relaxed atmosphere! All that one can possibly ask from a coffee shop!
DanielleApril 23, 2014Great little coffee spot with delicious coffee and food. Get the hazelnut latte!
ShabFebruary 24, 2016Hazelnut latte with almond milk. Basically a Ferrero Roche in latte form. SO GOOOOODDDDD
The best coffee and cafe in the Boston area. Hands down.
Tara L.January 12, 2013Best coffee- love the cold brewed. Also have great deals with foursquare. Just got 50 % off order, not too shabby.
