They also mentioned they serve brunch on the weekends, which immediately gave us another reason to come back. The espresso and tiramisu martinis were absolutely delicious, and one of the biggest highlights for me was that they were able to make them decaf. That's not something you find everywhere, and it made the experience even better. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and has a really cool vibe. It's the kind of place where you can stop in for breakfast, lunch, brunch, or even dinner. They have an impressive drink menu and plenty of great food options, making it easy to visit any time of day. What really stood out was their private room. It's a fantastic space for meetings, podcasts, or small gatherings and can comfortably fit a good-sized group. We'll definitely be making Ritual Coffee Bar one of our regular spots. Highly recommend!

We were welcomed in and helped super quickly despite being almost closing time, and still got to enjoy some fresh-made, delicious drinks. Their menu offers a variety of traditional options plus a couple fun, unique twists from their flavor syrups to their seasonal specials. (Even if the particular matcha i had wasn't super strong, the caramel banana syrup was INCREDIBLE and made the drink completely worthwhile, so I would highly recommend!) Needless to say, everything we tried was a big hit. Not only would I be more than happy to make the trip to enjoy another of their matcha combos, but I'd come back also for clean, spacious, and calm working atmosphere (luckily there's another location closer to me in Boston too)! I'm so glad I got to knock this cute and fun cafe off my list, and I'm even more excited to come back again!

Essentially half coffee shop, half art gallery, Triangle is the perfect spot for quiet work in an extremely sleek ambiance. The kind baristas explained that they have their own espresso label roasted by local Broadsheet roasters. They source their pastries from Revival café. The gluten-free (and at least one vegan) pastry options are in the same case as the others, just to be aware. Granola bar was great. Will totally be back!

We took a little Summerween trip from Boston to Salem, then back to Boston (via train). We'd…read moreplanned to ride the train back to Boston then take a different train to the airport, but seeing our luggage, several people on the train recommended avoiding downtown Boston and instead hopping off at Chelsea to take the Silver Line bus to the airport shuttles. Our flight was delayed and we didn't want to just sit in the airport, so we decided to listen to the locals, hop off at Chelsea then look for some cool local spot to get a coffee and maybe some food. This is a hidden gem in Chelsea. We asked folks on the train if they had recommendations.. they did not. We got off at Chelsea and it was pretty much a food and attraction desert, at least within walking distance of the bus stop. Luckily, Yelp came to the rescue. The coffee search brought up Dunkin, Starbucks and Aloe Natural. A quick glance at their Yelp page showed a picture of the coconut obsession coffee drink, and I was sold. With our luggage in tow, we walked the 3 blocks from the bus stop to find the business. It's literally a straight shot down the road, but I do recommend crossing to the right side of the street when given the opportunity, then taking the crosswalk to move over to the left right before reaching the business. The entrance is 2 small steps, so keep that in mind if you are a wheelchair or adaptive walking device user. It's a small, but clean and welcoming spot -- even offering a little swing and backdrop for selfies. We entered just before 2p on a weekday. The woman behind the counter was friendly and welcoming. She smiled and thanked us for visiting when I told her how we'd come to find the business. She said most of their traffic is students and teachers who want a healthier option in the neighborhood. She told us they have another business in the neighborhood which offers the often heavier, traditional Hispanic foods. We stayed until 3p, when they closed -- but that last hour they had a really steady stream of students and takeout pickups. We were honestly surprised to see them close so early. It seems like they'd do well to stay open until 4p, or maybe even 5p to catch more of that after school/work crowd. We went for the coffee but were blown away by the açaí bowl. It was delicious! Fresh, light, healthy-- everything I needed after 5 days of tourist walking and exploring. I ordered the iced coconut obsession and was pleased to get a little bit of Nutella with every sip. It was decadent, but not so sweet that it made my stomach hurt. My girlfriend ordered a strawberry lemonade and was also pleased. The prices were super reasonable, especially given the size and amount of fresh produce. My GF said she wasn't really hungry and only wanted a few bites, but ended up eating half of my açaí bowl. It was that good. If they'd been open later, I would have ordered a second one. I definitely recommend giving this small local business a try. Next time we find ourselves in Boston, we'll definitely stop in Chelsea to take the silver line bus to the airport and get a repeat of this exact meal. **As a side note, the restroom was a single-person, gender neutral room with a full-size baby changing table. It was clean and great for a #1. There's a table just outside the bathroom door -- only because the inside space is very small. They are very mindful of this and try to keep the bathroom door shut when not in use, so knock if you need to go.
