Staying near…read moreFenway Park you gotta watch for establishments just trying to make money based on proximity to the ballpark, this is NOT one of those places. Walking in... lots of granite and exposed brick, large pastry case and ordering area. I tried their House Latte and it was so good I went back 4 days in a row. House made Halva syrup, double shot of espresso, milk & finished with Cardamom. Excellent! I thought the baked goods were good also with the blueberry muffin being a standout, strawberry pop tart thing could use some work. The girls at the counter were all super nice and don't forget to leave a large tip! Talk later

There was some confusion where the line starts inside the cafe. Opted for the croissant breakfast sandwich with a beef patty. The breakfast sandwich was tasty and gigantic.

I love Japonaise Bakery for their adorable anime- themed pastries! While their Totoro Bun is…read moredefinitely the most popular, they also like to experiment with new flavors & characters. The display in the front with all the figurines and product samples is the cutest thing you will see all day. Although their Kuromi Bun had a nice (not too sweet) custard filling, the bread itself was a tad too dry. We also got their Shio Butter Bread which was the better choice. We happened to get a freshly baked one which was fluffy and melt in your mouth delicious! Also, it must be said that their service is A+. Their staff are truly such kind folks - always smiling and making friendly conversation with their customers. Turns out they were testing a new dough for the Shio Bread so they even gave us one on the house to try. The kind gesture was very sweet and much appreciated!

I came to tatte for the black sesame latte but was seduced by the orange blossom latte and had to…read moregive it a shot. I've been drooling over the passion fruit krembo and the pear tart so I had to give them a try as well. Pear tart- absolutely perfect, so mellow and sweet and I loved the poached pear in the middle! Passionfruit krembo- honestly stronger on the coconut and meringue flavor than on the passion fruit? Tastes almost like a lemon meringue tart to me. Orange blossom latte- frankly didn't get any flavor of orange blossom in the latte, until it melted totally I could taste it a little in the coffee. The vanilla was also really light. It's a pretty unadulterated coffee (as is typical for a cold brew) and I kinda like my coffee sweet and creamy, so I was not too impressed on a first taste. But once it melted I liked it a lot more. Probably will stick with black sesame next time. Note- they serve their pastries glued with sugar (?) on a cardboard round. Im not too sure how to eat it like this so I ended up prying them off the round.

Always love Tatte! I mean, what's not to love they have incredible coffee, tease, bakery items, and…read moreso many great dishes. Walking into a Tatte is like warm hug, it's a positive, welcoming, and bright environment to be in. All of the cafes are so aesthetically pleasing and get a lot of natural light. This location does have some indoor seating, but is a bit more limited than some of the other locations. They do have a lot of outdoor seating though. It's also a great area to walk around if you get your coffee and or pastry to go. It of course gets busy at peak times on weekends and morning during the week. Brunch is big at Tatte, and rightfully so. I don't think it's the best place to try to work, but you can bring a computer in do some work or study, but it can also get loud when there's lots of conversations being held. I've had great interactions with the staff at this location and even when it's busy, I haven't had to wait too long to get my order. I've been loving the pumpkin spice tahini latte this fall. Looking forward to my next stop in!

You can start your morning with fresh doughnuts and coffee, then choose from everything from burgers and pizza to tacos, seafood, Asian-inspired dishes and more. There are also great cocktails, beer and wine, so it's just as much fun to stop in for drinks as it is for a meal. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. They have live music at times, plenty of space to hang out, and a great outdoor patio area that's perfect on a nice Boston day. Whether you're grabbing coffee, meeting friends for lunch, having dinner and cocktails, or just looking for a fun place to spend a few hours, there really is something for everyone. Definitely worth checking out while you're in Boston! Be sure to bring in your parking garage ticket for validation!

Overall the food is not the best in Boston but I have enjoyed the food at Anoushella, Far out ice cream, and Union Square donuts. Seating is open and most of the businesses deliver your order to your seat. Trillium brewery is right next door which is excellent. There are events on the lawn in the summer, such as movie night and flea markets. Would recommend more for ambience and location than the food.

The chocolate chip walnut and coconut caramel were both very good - not too dense or airy, tender crumb, and melty chocolate.

I immediately started telling my friend how good it was and that we should go. Her sweet tooth really came through because she was sold right away. When we walked in, there already was a line in the store. Not too bad though since it moved quick, and we got our cookies pretty soon after. And... just as good as I remember, though I got a different flavor this time around. The caramel coconut chocolate chip cookie was delicious, I only wish there was a better distribution of coconut and caramel. I'll have to come again raspberry pistachio cookie I saw.

The matcha cheese mousse cake has a layer of azuki beans on the bottom, multiple layers of subtle complimentary flavors. Yummy dessert for after your ramen! Highly recommend!

The staff was super nice, and patient, as I decided on which 6 donuts to get. The stars of the show were the Boston crème and the cake batter. Yum!! You could tell how fresh they were. There was a perfect amount of filling where it wasn't soggy or too dry. I definitely recommend bringing these somewhere where a group of people can split them. They are definitely on the bigger side and it's more fun to try many flavors in good company :)

I came here with 2 friends to work from home and we had a great time! I can attest it's a solid spot to WFH. They have one large (more communal) table which is where we sat, as well as a handful for 2 seaters for folks to either sit alone or across from a friend. Clearly a lot of people come here to WFH, but you can't blame them. The WiFi is free and we didn't experience any disruptions, there's great lighting in addition to the natural light from their floor to ceiling glass walls, and the music is so good here. They were playing all 2010s indie, pop, and alternative hits. We all loved it. I ordered a decaf iced latte with Carmel and it was delicious! A bit on the pricey side, but it is what it is. :) My friends got a sandwich and also tried their coffee and really liked it too. We will be back!
