    Winter Latte
    Arianne Victoria A.

    Loved the winter latte. Too crowded in the middle of the mall. Was a long wait. Enjoyed the latte however.

    Matcha Latte
    Amanda T.

    Came here for a quick coffee to go and it was a nice experience! This cafe is located in the mall so it's a nice and convenient pick me up while shopping. There's several indoor seating available and they offer small snack items like waffles or packaged protein bars. I got their hot matcha latte with oat milk and really liked it (5/5). The matcha flavor was pungent and the drink was creamy. There was a long line but it moved along relatively quickly. This cafe is a chain, but I've always had good experiences at every shop that I go to, so it's a reliable place for me.

    Instant Coffee
    Gyr N.

    We stopped here for morning coffee and walked out in awe and buzzed. Blue Bottle Coffee is absolutely the best and we don't know how they do it. The coffee shop is minimally decorated but tastefully done with high quality materials. We also came out with a small jar of instant coffee to bring home. Until next shopping trip on Newberry Street, Boston.

    Waffle
    Emily Y.

    Is it a $6 waffle? Yes Is it delicious? Heck yeah They make the waffle to order so it takes a little patience. The waffle is soft on the inside and crispy outside with a light dusting of sugar. You can people watch as you wait since it's in a busy part of Prudential.

    Another tried and true classic. We love that we can rely on Blue Bottle's quality regardless of which location we go to. Excellent espresso, as always!!

    Capuchino & Mocha coffee

    Here at the Prudential Mall in Boston visiting family and just had the best coffee , got a mocha coffee for me and wifey ordered a Capuchino ... Excellent

    We were walking through The Prudential Center and needed our coffee fix. We saw this place and decided to try it out. The prices were pretty high we noticed but decided to try it anyway. I had the iced cardamom latte which was already lightly sweetened; I tasted the cardamon but it's nothing to write home about. I didn't read reviews until after and wished I ordered the Nola coffee instead; oh well maybe next time. The service was fast and friendly though, despite there being a line. The decor was very simplistic, open, and clean looking with some seating.

    Blue Bottle is in a very convenient spot in the Pru where multiple hallways converge, so it's easy to get to. They had a decent-sized line every time I went, but I ordered on the app and the drinks were ready quickly. They have a small amount of seating, but be prepared for it to be on the louder side since this location doesn't really have any walls separating it from the rest of the mall.

    Lines for days after 11am I've noticed. 11.26.22.

    In Boston's Copley Mall , (walkable if youre staying at the Marriott, Sheraton, Westin and the Mandarin O. ). BBC serves up the best American coffee in the area. It is packed here most of the hours they are open except for the first hour. Service is brisk, just like the Fall weather in Boston :) They are aware how busy people are so they get the line moving best they can. Blue Bottle and Eataly's Lavazza coffee ( tradizional Italian coffee) are the best in the city hands down and if you're in the area, you're in luck-- they are both in the Copley. End of Yelp.

    NOLA spice coffee
    Apex S.

    Strolling through the Pru, it was time for coffee. We stopped blue bottle and the menu items looked intriguing. They have a black cardamom latte which was surprising because that's a strong spice as compared to the green cardamom. But hey, maybe they make it well. The price however was stronger (read: steeper) than the spice. So we skipped it and chose a spiced NOLA style coffee in a 12 oz cup. It was delicious. Frothy and tasty and hot like we asked for it. Bonus for compostable cup and lid. Would stop by again!

    A letdown. The location is so convenient - in the middle of Prudential mall, and there is typically indoor seating (closed due to COVID currently), but it's right next to the courtyard area where there are tables and benches to sit. I'm so disappointed because I heard great things about Blue Bottle Coffee, however I found their lattes to be so weak - as if I could only taste the milk. We also got the New Orleans coffee, which was okay, but it's hard to justify the price for just okay coffee. Overall, the coffee is not worth in my opinion (more pricey compared to other coffee shops nearby), but I'm giving it two stars because of the location and the baristas were friendly.

    Nola coffee hot was excellent. During a conference, I ordered one everyday. Nearly $6 it was a splurge but a welcome treat.

Cold, delicious, and just the right amount of chaotic fun... it was wicked good.

There was plenty of seating inside and we had no trouble finding an open spot to sit down and enjoy our ice cream. There also wasn't a line which was really nice!

While I do usually prefer my ice cream order to my boyfriends....i do have to admit that I liked his more. Don't skip the waffle cone like I did. Definitely a great stop to add to your day in boston! The flavors are always great, and there's seasonal flavors which rotate that are always fun to try.

    This spot was adorable - both for books and food…read more We lucked out as we didn't have a reservation, but called and turns out they had an outdoor table available. We weren't sure how to enter, so we started in the bookstore and found their convenient elevator downstairs! The restaurant is tiny but cozy, which is the perfect atmosphere for a book store! We sat outside in the little courtyard and it's a mix of magical and relaxing! There were only a few tables, so it wasn't overcrowded and with nice weather, it was perfect. I had a salad with salmon on the side which was delicious - and the ginger lemonade - wonderful! From buttered noodles to seafood, everything was executed well. The staff didn't rush us even though they were busy - and they had to give really long wait times to a number of others, but we still weren't rushed. I would highly recommend reservations, but even without we were treated very well. Pricing was in line with city pricing - and the food was extremely high quality and produce was lovely - not a shriveled lettuce leaf in sight. We then went upstairs to the bookstore and perused - each floor has something fun to see (including a tiny kids door - or is it a mouse door for the mouse who stars in the book about the store?!). 100% worth a visit - definitely stop in!

    Heartbreaking. The bookstore is exceptional. But the cafe is absurdly expensive and the male waiter…read morewalks the fine line on rude. The wonderful waitress, Sabrina, saved this from being a one star review. First the food. You pay $15 on the kids menu for literally a scrambled egg on an unbuttered piece of toast. Nothing else on the plate. The $24 breakfast is two scrambled eggs on white toast with a few cherry tomorrows on top and a side of small meatball-looking turkey sausages. I was shocked, but since I was with my child, I didn't want to say a thing. There is absolutely NOTHING on this menu worth the cost or experience. Also, they do not pour the tea and if you ask for milk (typically served with dark teas) the waiter gives you impatient side-eye. The cafe has everything, EVERYTHING which could really make it a spectacular experience, and I can say that I will never go again or recommend. Get a muffin and coffee/tea at Tatte or Flour Bakery and skip this cafe and go straight to the book store. The bookstore is a joy.
