    Came here twice during my stay in Boston, MA! I enjoyed a cappuccino with a chocolate chip cookie on day one and on our second visit I enjoyed a drip coffee , a sausage breakfast sandwich and another delicious chocolate chip cookie. This small business feels like home, employees are kind ans attentive. Overall the space is nice and cozy to sit in while enjoying the busy streets of Boston in the morning:)

    We came here for brunch one morning while in town. It was a cute and quiet little café that's kind of tucked away. The place had a very homey and quaint feel to it. Food was fairly decent. I got the chicken burrito panini, which was fairly good. Service was pretty quick and friendly. I would say the vibe and atmosphere is what makes this place. It has a small town diner vibe in a city if that makes sense.

    Savory Bowl ($8.95: Two eggs scrambled, bacon (skip the bacon), tomatoes, fresh avocado, baby spinach, chives and pepper-jack cheese)

    Fantastic food and vibe. Have worked in area for 4 years, went here for the first time yesterday, got an ice coffee. Went back today and had the Savory Bowl, it is fantastic. The staff is very welcoming, the space is super comfortable, all low key but clean and fun. Will definitely be back!

    Juan's Spicy Salmon Sandwich, and Matt's Bagel Sandwich.

    Amazing food!. Was staying at the hotel next door, decided to try before my flight. Ordered the salmon on plain bagel and bacon, egg and cheese on sesame. I was thoroughly impressed. If im ever in the area, this will be my stop! Workers actually care about your satisfaction. Very friendly staff and great environment to catch a bite.

    So good

    Shallot mayo. Need I say more? Cozy, frugal, simple, memorable, customizable. It's easier to order in person but online has good selection as well. The service is friendly and fast.

    so delicious, the entire staff are so kind and nice! Jimmy especially made our visit a special experience. an underground, affordable spot that is a must visit!

    While visiting Boston, we went on a late night hunt for dessert and ended up at JP Licks purely…read morebecause the name made us laugh. Turns out, it absolutely lived up to the hype. I went with two scoops, black raspberry and brownie chocolate, and the brownie was killer. Rich, chocolatey, and totally worth standing outside in 30 degree weather to eat it. I devoured it without hesitation. There were so many great flavor options, and my friends all found something they loved too. It felt like one of those classic, must-stop dessert spots. Cold, delicious, and just the right amount of chaotic fun... it was wicked good.

    Just had a really odd experience at this location…read more I ordered a small cup of a special flavor (sticky toffee pudding). The server asked if I wanted any toppings. I said, "Yes please, I'd like M&Ms." The server, and another person working behind the counter, both told me that they just ran out of M&Ms. They didn't have any more. This was weird to me. As I was walking to the the shop, I passed a person who had a small cup of ice cream with both m&m's and oreo topping. Okay, I thought. That's weird but so be it. Then, I scootch over to look at the rest of the toppings and what do I see? M&Ms. I point out the M&M's to the employee and ask, "hey, aren't those M&M's?" They mumbled something back that I didn't exactly catch. They either said "those are closed" or "those are skittles" or "it's not those". "those are closed" makes no sense because they asked if I wanted toppings and it was 2 and a half hours before they closed. "those are skittles" makes no sense because they don't carry skittles as a topping... The whole experience was perplexing to me. Anyways, JP Licks is pretty overrated and too expensive. $6.5+ for the smallest size is not worth it. They have some decent flavors (cookies n' cake batter) though and the ice cream is usually pretty well executed and not icy. still, not really a place i'd recommend and won't be going back for a while after this freak incident. Attached photos are the proof that they had M&Ms. Note the "M" on the candy and the blue colored candies (they don't make blue skittles)

I do not go out for coffee much anymore due to the convenience and cost effectiveness of a Breville and am often frustrated paying over $5 for mediocre coffee, but flour cafe was not in this boat. Their cappuccino had the balance of flavor and aesthetic for a pleasant drink for my wife and I. Even better was the fact that these drinks were served by someone with a warm spirit and smile.. hard to get great service these days. Also, I am not eating flour until March but my wife said the ham and cheese croissant was incredible: generous portion of ham and cheese, baked to perfection, and not too bread(y). This is a great place to stop (in a beautiful residential area too).

I went in around 1PM and the place was literally PACKED! Not sure what the 100+ people there were having - but they were camped out, laptops in hand, having extended social hours with cups in front of them. Maybe it's the ambiance, maybe the wifi is ridiculously fast, maybe the food is better....not sure - but there is absolutely no way these people were there for the coffee (or hot chocolate).

    Beacon Hill Books and Cafe is a three story independent bookstore set inside a townhouse on Beacon…read moreHill, and the physical space does as much work as the inventory in making it worth a visit. We walked into a building with the kind of architectural character that chain bookstores cannot manufacture, with small rooms opening into each other across multiple floors, wallpapered walls, and reading nooks distributed throughout that invite you to slow down rather than move through quickly. The book selection is well curated with staff recommendation cards on the shelves that actually reflect genuine enthusiasm rather than perfunctory notes. We saw limited edition hardcovers and local and regional titles appearing alongside the broader fiction and nonfiction selection. Browsing felt productive rather than overwhelming because the curation kept things focused. The kids section upstairs is one of the more delightful in Boston, with a train running along a track near the ceiling that tends to make a strong impression on younger visitors. There is also an art print vending machine on the second floor that draws its own audience of visitors looking for something small and specific to take home. The cafe occupies the lower level and operates as a separate experience from the bookshop above. We ordered the oat milk cappuccino with Vermont maple syrup, which was worth it. The morning glory scone and the popovers are two other items to consider. The cafe is tiny, around eight tables inside with a small patio, and reservations are recommended for breakfast and afternoon tea service. Pricing at the cafe is on the higher end, and certain fixed price service formats on specific dates push it considerably further, so checking current pricing before booking is worth doing. For a bookshop that doubles as a destination in its own right, Beacon Hill Books and Cafe delivers a cozy, curated experience that rewards lingering. It is the kind of place we would return to just to sit and read with a good coffee.
