They are now serving single origin espresso. A must try and the bean selection changes roughly every month.
Jed BreedDecember 28, 2012Great place to kill some time while waiting for a movie at the AMC down the street.
Maybe the best espresso pulls in Boston. Rivals Simon's in Cambridge. And brewed from solid Stumptown beans.
Michelle BurgessOctober 9, 2011Order the French chocolate. It is a amazing but intense. The staff try's to get you to add milk.
Craig CollinsNovember 6, 2011Quality drinks, desserts and decor still don't make up for the fact that they make you put cream cheese on the bagel yourself.
thoughtbotSeptember 12, 2011This is the spot for afternoon coffee. Super-comfortable interior, very talented baristas.
FYI -- just spoke with the owner, pastry chef is from Bina... It shows! Can't wait for this cafe to expand to Back Bay!!
Nathaniel HajianFebruary 22, 2013A little loud and busy for studying/work. But good coffee and atmosphere otherwise for chatting.- Kit InguiApril 4, 2011Hazelnut latte w/ soy is outstanding - made with actual hazelnuts! No prebottled syrup here. Seriously. Order it.
Mohan BergJuly 25, 2013Coffee is great, food isn't worth it... But if you're hungry enough I suppose anything is good!
Try hazelnut latte! Also french macaroom is a neverfail.

Awesome atmosphere. Best hazelnut latte I've ever had. Cupcakes (regular AND mini) are great.
