    I ended up visiting several different Caffè Nero locations during my time in Boston. I frequented this location, the most as it was near my hotel. I found each café was a charming little coffee shop, unique in its own way, yet all shared a delightful theme that felt like a cozy library or bookstore. The atmosphere was inviting and perfect for relaxing with a good book or catching up on some work. I really enjoyed their coffee shops and even brought home a bag of their beans. The quality of the coffee was consistently excellent, and the ambiance made each visit enjoyable.

    There are a bunch of Caffè Nero locations around, but this is one of my favorites. Whenever I'm in the city and I have some time to kill, I head over and find a cozy spot to pass the time. It's usually pretty busy, but generally there are open tables and booths available. Their drinks and baked goods aren't anything especially unique or delicious, but they get the job done. For me, it's really about the ambiance. Not a bad option for a quick drink/bite!

    Latte, house coffee, and two sandwiches in the display case

    Brief Summary: - Coffee is not sour - Indoor seating available Started off the morning needing to get some coffee and a sandwich, so we picked one closest to the Red Line station. This cafe is large from the outside and also spacious inside with seats on the first and second floor. The staff was easygoing, taking their time accepting our order and serving us while the guests waited in line. The coffee was not sour and the sandwiches were warmed up for us. Overall, a good eating experience and I liked how it was conveniently located near one of the main shopping locations in this area.

    Literally false advertising compared to the strawberry matcha you actually get.

    Quite literally one of the Worst strawberry Matchas I've ever had. It didn't taste like matcha at all and the strawberry syrup from a bottle feels like false advertising compared the photo they have advertising the matcha. The Staff at this location are also incredibly rude and inhospitable. The whole time I was in front of the bar waiting the barista didn't interact with anymore until it was my turn and he just said "what do you want" and after I nicely asked for my drink he still didn't say anything just rung the total up and walked away and then handed off the drink in silence! Completely bad vibes to add to the empty cold ambiance of the cafe.

    I have no qualms with Caffè Nero as a brand but this particular location has without a doubt some of the worst employees of any store I've visited. I asked the employee about a coffee and cake combo they had on the wall and was met with a loud sigh and rude tone of voice. Fine. She's having a bad day I get it. When she rung us up she didn't know how to put the combo in the machine and after patiently waiting she got frustrated and proclaimed "I can't get it to work this is the price, what do you want to do?!" We were shocked at this and when we inquired as to whether the machine was the issue she walked off and just didn't come back. I'd give this a 0 star if I could. There is no semblance of professionalism and they'll treat you like a nuisance for being in their store.

    Can't put my finger on it. The decor is very nice. The spacious seating is great. The service and food isn't good.

    Cold Foam Cold Brew (16oz) Italian Ciabatta

    Came here to work and ordered a cold brew with the seasonal pumpkin cold foam & and italian ciabatta. The drink was perfect, but the pumpkin flavor could have been slightly more pumpkin-y! The sandwich was perfect, no complaints. Have plenty of seating available, but mid afternoon on a Sunday I had to walk around for a bit before finding a nice spot in the corner. Had to unfortunately leave early because a giant street party started right outside the shop and the bass was overwhelming, even with headphones in, but that's nothing the cafe can control. Service was kind and efficient! Would definitely revisit this location, but probably on a weekday instead of a weekend.

    Showing my friend around the downtown crossing are and we decided to stop for a Boston coffee pick me upper. I had an iced latte with oat milk and a cheese frittata. This was a perfect late snack before grabbing dinner later in the north end. My coffee was just right and the frittata was cheesy as I like it. The staff was very welcoming and funny!

    2 Stars. As you are choosing the star rating, Yelp offers "Could've been better" for 2 stars. That's exactly how my experience felt. I wanted it to be good- it has the potential- it just wasn't. The coffee was weak and bland. The employees were not very friends. I love the looks and appeal! Sitting next to the windows provides fantastic people watching opportunities. It just... Could have been better!

    Great space to work and hang out. Quiet big with an upstairs. The staff was not too friendly however. Gave me a lot of attitude when I asked for the code for the bathroom even though I was buying something.

    Great coffee and super nice staff. I read a few reviews here, but I have no idea why some were so poor. Perhaps a new staff? In any case, EXCELLENT!

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.

We came for dinner and I got the turkey and brie sandwich. The brie melted in your mouth and paired perfectly with the crunchy vegetables and turkey in the sandwich. There was also a layer of fruit jam which created a salty sweet combination that was delicious. I also shared a warm custard bread pudding for dessert with a friend (be aware that you have to order this 30 minutes ahead as they bake it fresh!) which was so yummy - it was quite sweet but gooey and a lovely mixture of caramel flavors that paired nicely with the vanilla gelato. Prices are on the higher side but align with the attention that is paid to each plate! They have a super cute bookstore next to the cafe which is fun to browse. The set-up is within three stories of a house and the decor/design inside is very cozy - definitely worth checking out. On the third floor children's section there is a toy train that periodically circles the top of the room which is a fun touch too!

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.
