    Perfect spot post b/spoke class session! After a sweat inducing workout in spin class. The location had common area which can get crowded on a nice day, window table, counter ledge, center couches with coffee table. They also have a quiet room, and outdoor seating area. They offer a menu that gets updated with season specials and food offerings! We ordered: -Cannonball Special - crispy prosciutto with 2 eggs over easy, secret sauce, Gruyère cheese, and avocado (mine had no avocado though unless it was supposed to be a spread but didn't see that either). All inside an English muffin. Wish there was more secret sauce, and the avocado though. Figgy piggy- English muffin, Gruyère cheese, two eggs over easy (a bit more well done than that actually). Took a bite of this and it was good! The fig jam definitely meshed well with everything. -Cannonball Caprese sour dough panini, homemade pesto, Gruyère cheese, spinach, roasted red pepper jam and grilled cheese! This was a light brunch/lunch option. Satisfied overall. Drinks: -Strawberry & Cream Latte -Blackberry Jasmine Matcha -Orange Creamsicle The drinks all seemed to be hits. I made mistake thinking that the orange creamsicle was flavored matcha latte but its coffee. Luckily the lady was willing to switch. 3 drinks, 3 food items a little over $60 with tip.

    I went to Cannonball Cafe shortly after finishing a spin class... such a cute cafe! Loved the outdoor seating area (~4 tables) and I can see the indoor seating area being a great place to get some work done. They even have a quiet room, thought this was cool & unique for a cafe. There were so many items on the menu that we wanted to try but we ultimately decided to order off the specials menu, with the exception of the sandwiches. Sandwiches: -Figgy Piggy -Cannonball Special -Cannonball Caprese Drinks: -Strawberry & Cream Latte -Blackberry Jasmine Matcha -Orange Creamsicle Latte I personally had the figgy piggy but I still got to try a little bit of everything. The figgy piggy was right up my alley! I love dishes with figs so I may be a bit biased but I like the sweetness figs provide. This sandwich was on an English muffin and consisted of bacon, fig jam, Gruyère cheese, brie, & two eggs. It was absolutely delicious! The bacon was nice & crispy and the two eggs were appreciated. Only thing I would've changed about this sandwich is, I like my eggs on the runnier side but I'm sure I can request this for the next time I visit! 4/5 The Cannonball Special is another sandwich we got that was also on an English muffin! This one is supposedly made with two eggs, crispy prosciutto, Gruyère cheese, avocado, and a secret sauce. We didn't taste any avocado or see any avocado spread in this sandwich unfortunately. Prosciutto was crispy, as described on the menu & the sandwich overall was pretty tasty. 3.75/5 The Cannonball Caprese was the third and last sandwich we got. This is one of their lunch sandwiches, unlike the first two mentioned which were breakfast sandos. This sourdough panini included homemade pesto, Gruyère cheese, roasted tomatoes, spinach, & roasted red pepper jam. This tasted amazing! It was pretty much a pesto tomato grilled cheese, cannot go wrong. 4.5/5 Now, the drinks were LOVELY! We got two iced coffee lattes (orange creamsicle & strawberry cream) and one matcha iced latte. I personally liked the strawberry cream ice latte more than the orange creamsicle. For me, I couldn't taste "orange creamsicle". Just tasted like a flavorless iced latte with nothing else added, besides coffee + 2% milk. The strawberry cream iced latte was a different story... this was wonderful! It's fruity and tasted a little floral (got this with whole milk). I would get this again. The blackberry jasmine matcha was another goodie. Got this with oat milk. I love most matchas with berries, so this was a hit for me! It ended up tasting too sweet for me towards the end though but I would get this again with less sugar. I'll likely visit Cannonball Cafe again! I love that they have an extensive menu with loads of options, including some seasonal drinks. Another thing I appreciated is that all the sandwiches are made to order. Takes longer (10-15min) but sandwiches were yummy. For us, our only real con we would say about the breakfast sandwiches is that they were much smaller than we were hoping for (for the $).

    A long line and for good reason - cannonball has some of the most fun coffee flavors (both regulars and seasonal rotators) ive seen in boston! The space is small but cozy with a small amount of seating given its popularity. Workers are super sweet despite the crowds which i admire! I tried the seasonal summer lemonbar latte and it was delicious - truly tasted like a lemon bar while not being too sweet/overpowering the coffee flavor. I can't wait to try more fun speciliaties!

    French Toast Latte

    I didn't get many pictures when I visited because there were so many people. However, I ended up going with a French toast latte which I added vanilla cold foam to. It was a perfect pairing and I highly recommend it. Expect a long line during peak times. The baristas were so friendly and welcoming. They kept the line moving very fast. Once I ordered, I only had to wait about five minutes for my drinks. It's worth the wait!!

    What a cute coffee shop. I am soo glad my friend told me about this place. They have a cute outdoor sitting area for warmer months and they have a separate quiet room area. I had never seen this before at a coffee shop. It was my first time here and I will for sure be back. I hear it gets very busy especially on weekends so go early! I went on a Monday morning and it was not too bad at all. I got a honey salted iced latte. WOW it was delicious! All of their seasonal/ specialty coffee drinks looked very good. The barista was super nice as well. I told her I was allergic to nuts or if there is nut milk in the shop and she said there are no nuts in the shop. I was shocked and excited to hear that. This also seems to be a good place to do work if you are a work from home person. I highly recommend this spot!

    I visited on a busy Saturday when the line was almost out the door. It was a little bit chaotic however, the baristas kept the line moving fast. I ordered a French toast latte and a homemade pop tart. Both were absolutely delicious and the French toast latte tasted exactly like French toast. They have a few couches and tables along with another quiet room for low conversations or somewhere to get work done. They also have a large outdoor seating area. If I lived in Boston, I would be here every day. I highly recommend checking out this coffee shop.

    Finally found myself in the neighborhood and had to stop by. Their winter seasonal drink menu all sounded great but I settled on an iced peppermint white mocha matcha, which was amazing. All the flavors felt balanced and it was the right amount of sweetness. The space is bright and colorful, with plenty of seating in the main area as well as a separate room through a glass door. There are also clean bathrooms available. I would definitely come back to try out more of the seasonal menu!

    The food comes out nice and hot! The bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich tastes so good. I need to try the other breakfast sandwiches too. I ordered a vanilla latte, but they have lots of seasonal and special drinks available too. Inside the cafe there is a quiet area, which seems nice. But I sat outside on a comfy couch and it was a great vibe. Only complaint was that the line to order was about 30 minutes long, so be forewarned about a wait especially on the weekend.

    S'mores cookie
    Mel N.

    Found the most delicious looking lattes in Boston! Glad to report they taste great!!! There was a wait to get inside and order, but after that it doesn't take long for your order to come out. There's lots of seating inside and outside. Everything is so cute! I got the cannonball cinnamon bun latte, the figgy piggy breakfast sandwich, and a giant s'mores cookie. Everything was delicious! The coffee with cold foam was delectable, the sandwich was filling, and the cookie was perfect with a hint of salt. This place makes me so happy and I can't wait to come back!

    Flavors

    I am strictly a caramel latte girly but I decided to try one of their seasonal flavors because they're known for it and I loved it! I got the pumpkin s'mores and I was very happy that the flavors were more reserved and did not just taste like a ball of sugar (besides the marshmallows on top lol). My boyfriend got Americano with caramel apple cold foam and it had a really strong, true flavor of caramel apple. I think their seasonal drinks are super unique and worth coming to try. I also ordered the cannonball sandwich and was very pleased with it: filling, interesting, and not greasy! Expensive but on par with hip coffee places. I would be back to try next seasons flavors!

    Finally stopped by Cannonball Cafe after seeing so many reviews on TikTok and their seasonal menu. Went on a Saturday around 11 am and there was a huge line outside the door. I think we waited in line for about 25 mins and the drinks took about five mins to come out. I got the cherry vanilla float and my friend got the cold brew with blueberry pancake cold foam. The price came to about $13 for both. The cherry vanilla float was my fav, it wasn't too sweet but a nice treat. The blueberry pancake foam needed more flavor but it was okay. I considered getting one of their pop tarts but the tray was right next to the register where people were constantly talking and reaching over. There's plenty of room to sit inside or outside the cafe. I really like how the outdoor space is decorated. I'd try something else on the drink menu since they change it every season.

    Cannonball Special
    Kiana B.

    Typical Boston prices (expensive), but the space is cute and trendy, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Drinks are given at the counter, with food brought out to your table. I loved that the sandwiches all come with 2 eggs and got the cannonball special. There are so many unique syrups and foams to pair coffee with, in addition to tea-based and caffeine-free drinks. My initial choice had run out, so I went with a cold brew with blueberry pancake cold foam. It was amazing and tasted exactly as the name suggests.

    Cherry vanilla latte
    Ashley C.

    This was great coffee in a small space. Coffee flavors and options were unique . My only gripe would be they make their own syrups . It would really take them up a notch . Service was nice , menus are every where with descriptions of all the drinks . They also sale pastrys and breakfast sandwiches if you feel hungry . Cute place and should be apart of your routine . ( I had the cherry vanilla latte )

    Do they have dairy free options?

    Hi Allegra! As of right now, we do not have any dairy free pastries, but we can make all drinks dairy free, we have dairy free smoothies as well as vegan protein powder, and several toast options can be made without dairy! Thanks for asking!

Ingredients are super fresh and tasty. I LOVE the pressed juices, they are a bit up there in price but the bottles are reusuables and a good size. You can also have juices pressed to order which come out tasting so so good. The menu is expanssivee. So far, I am a huge fan of the pita, hummus, labneh, anything with meat (smash burgers and brisket breakfast sando), and they have pretty decent mac. I'm excited to continue eating my way through their options. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. The restaurant is bright and bubbling. The servers are very kind and always helpful with menu questions. It can get quite busy but service moves quick. I have ordered ahead and ordered in person and never had an issue. If you are in a rush around lunch definitely do yourself a favor and order ahead. If you have time, the wait is never usually more than 10-15 mins and goes by quick.

I do enjoy that aesthetic for being productive, but not when I want to relax at a coffee shop. I was taking a day off and really wanted somewhere cosy to get a cup of coffee.

They have a lot of delicious looking pastries, sandwiches, and salads, and a large drink menu. My friend purchased a coffee and we shared a Tuscan Turkey baguette. The baguette was a bit hard but good overall. This is a great place for a quick breakfast or lunch. I like their variety of offerings, the service is good, and the ambiance is a big plus too!!

She was so excited when she found Cafe Bonjour because they had several gluten-free options on the menu. We took an Uber there right after we landed and were able to walk right in and get a table when they opened, which worked out perfectly because the place started to fill up! It's a cute little spot with plenty of seating inside, and they also had a nice outdoor parklet that would be great in good weather. We asked to sit at the bar so we could watch the cooks in action, which was really fun. The menu had all the classic breakfast favorites like eggs and French toast, along with some lunch options like hamburgers and chicken wraps. The staff was very friendly and attentive.

However, it's close to Boston Common and the public garden so there's things to do to while you wait. The owner and staff are super nice and friendly. They're cognizant that people wait a long time to eat at their establishment and treat you with kindness when you're inside. It is very cramped and the tables are close together, but the rustic feeling makes it a great place to catch up with 1 or 2 friends. There's a wide variety of breakfast/brunch items, so there's something on the menu for everyone. The kitchen also is good about substitutions. Additionally, the portions are reasonable for the price, especially for the area. Most entrees come with a salad, which was a fun surprise. I got the Signature Scramble and liked the variety in the dish. The eggs did have caramelized onions, which I picked out, but there was a good amount of sauce and flavor on the plate. This place has been on my Boston brunch bucket list, so I'm glad that I've gone. I'd recommend this place to people who appreciate a good meal, but wouldn't take people who are impatient or claustrophobic.
