Came in on a super SUUPER hot day and left feeling full and energized because the coffee and the food here is just TOOO good! Let me start off with the food, now the sandwiches/wraps here are VERY solid. They have wonderful breakfast sandwiches that will fill you right up! They taste as great as they look too :) My favorite part of this café is the coffee! I cannot tell you how AMAZING my peaches and cream latte was. Basically, it's like I experienced an orange Creamsicle icecream with coffee that's not overly too sweet but just hit that right spot! DIVINE! Staff here is very efficient with their work because it gets full in here quite fast. I mean, they even have a back room for people that want to study! The vibe here chill laid-back, and it's perfect for those that just wanna chill and just hang out or if you just wanna study as well. I can't wait to come back here to try more coffee because their unique flavors are absolutely wonderful and they taste amazing. They do not miss! read more

the seasonal drinks here are so creative! i was a fan of the blueberry vanilla bean pie latte and peaches & cream latte!! the breakfast sandwiches were also very tasty--i recommend the cannonball special, but warning it can get very messy haha lots of seating available, both indoors and outdoors. they even have a quiet area for people who need to lock-in only docking a star because i think the service could be better. there was miscommunication when ordering. i had stated i wanted my order for dine-in, but was then asked right after, "this is to-go, right?" i corrected them, no big deal. probably didn't hear me the first time. but for some reason, they got frustrated with me and asked in a very snappy tone, "so is this to-go or for here?" shortly after, when i was unlocking my phone for apple pay, i think it appeared i was attempting to pay before they put the order through (which i wasn't, i was waiting for their okay). with attitude they told me, "hold ON. it's not ready." read more

Cannonball Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Cannonball Cafe is a bit of a hidden gem in Southie, but the secret is definitely out--there is almost always a line wrapping out the door no matter what day of the week it is. It makes sense, though, because every single drink they churn out is incredibly delicious and perfectly crafted. If you're a fan of unique flavor profiles, their rotating specials are unmatched; the Lemon Bar Brown Butter Latte, Blackberry Jasmine Matcha, and Strawberries and Cream Latte are all absolute standouts. Their food menu is small but mighty, featuring unique breakfast options and homemade treats. The Cannonball Special breakfast sandwich is my absolute go-to for something savory, and you can't leave without grabbing one of their homemade pop-tarts if you have a sweet tooth. The atmosphere inside is clean and highly aesthetic, and they even have a dedicated quiet room which is perfect for studying or getting some work done. My only real critique is the customer service. While the staff is friendly, the vibe can sometimes feel a bit fake. Their customer service voices come off just a little too strong, making the interactions feel a bit forced and ingenuine rather than naturally welcoming. Still, the quality of the coffee and food is high enough to make the wait in line worth it. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Cannonball Cafe has some of the best coffee, totally understand why there's always a long line. The Coconut Nutella Latte is honestly one of the best lattes I've ever had!!! Pro tip: go early on weekend mornings if you don't want to wait. The breakfast sandwiches are just okay, I'd probably stick to coffee next time. Everyone working there is really nice though, and the inside is super cute. read more

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!! read more

Cannonball Cafe - French Toast Latte - Cafes Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

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 $). read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Always accompanied with a wide variety of latte flavors, and the outdoor seating is perfect for a nice breakfast

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I had to see what the lattes at Cannonball Cafe were all about! The space is adorable and communal and the staff is super nice and willing to describe specials and help you choose. I wasn't sure what to pick because I don't usually go for super sweet coffees but the barista recommended the special "CBC CB." It was a maple brown butter latte with a vanilla cream cheese cold foam and house made sticky cinnamon sugar drizzle. I was apprehensive about the cream cheese cold foam but WOW. It was absolutely delicious. The drink was delightful and not overly sweet at all. I did deduct one star because it cost me 9 dollars and it was gone in about two sips. The drink was mostly ice. I also ordered a large and think I was given a small, but I didn't want to make a fuss because it was incredibly busy. Overall i'm very glad I tried it! read more

As busy as this place can get because southie bitches love a crafty latte/coffee shop.... I am in love. The people behind the counter is what I notice the most. And that's what makes it comfortable. Their smiles and attitudes do not change. Very pleasant. Reminds me very much of a coffee shop in Portland Maine. Aesthetically gorgeous. Down to earth people running the show. And to boot their specialty lattes are delish! I got the honey cornbread iced latte. I also got the maple bacon wrap. Will be back. read more

First impressions: The outside is very inviting with flowers and greenery, and there's a nice patio space. I arrived around 11 a.m., and there was already a long line. I lost count, but it felt like about a 30-45 minute wait before I got in. Space & vibe: Inside, the café is pretty small but cozy. There are a few different seating options--a couch, some singular chairs, a large bench with chairs, and spots by the window. It felt versatile, like you could work on a laptop, have a casual conversation, or just enjoy some quiet people-watching. One thing worth noting: accessibility could be an issue. You do have to go up stairs, and I didn't see any flat entryway, so that's something to keep in mind. Service: This part really stood out. Rachel greeted me, and she was super friendly and helpful in answering my questions. Service was overall quick, which I appreciated, especially after the long wait. Food & drinks: Chai: As a longtime chai drinker, I wasn't too impressed. It wasn't creamy or well-blended--it had that "dots" effect where the mix separates, and the dark color wasn't appealing. I would have liked it stirred better overall. Egg & Cheese Sandwich: Served on an English muffin with their secret sauce. The muffin was toasted nicely, cheesy, and wrapped well. The egg was cooked fine, but I would have preferred it well-done. It was decent, but not something I'd rave about. Overall: My experience today was just okay. The service and atmosphere were highlights, but the chai and food didn't live up to the hype. That said, since this spot was so highly recommended to me, I'd be open to coming back to try other menu items before making a final call. read more

A small and cozy cafe that serves various drinks, breakfast sandwiches called Sando, pastries, and cookies. We got the Turkey Sausage with Egg, Bacon, Egg and Cheese, and Cannonball Special. All the sandwiches tasted delicious according to everyone. We also got the latte and coffee as well. This restaurant is all self service where you order the food and drinks and find a place to sit in communal tables. They will bring your drinks and food to your table. Unfortunately, It is a bit far out about a 10 min walk from a T station on a really hot day. Definitely worth a visit especially for the breakfast sandwiches. read more

You will never hear a complaint about Cannonball Cafe utter my mouth unless it is regarding the line in the summer. This southie cafe is by far one of my favorite cafes to frequent throughout the year. I love the flowers hanging from the ceiling, the dog wall of fame, the compliment bin, and the variety of allergen friendly options this cafe has. I have Celiac Disease and appreciate the time and care they take with preparing gluten friendly options as well as how aware they are of allergies versus preferences. I have never once gotten sick here and have enjoyed every single breakfast sandwich I've had (especially a BEC). For winter they had eggnog chai lattes which were divine. I will dream about that latte all year until it returns. This cafe is also just an amazing spot to come work at or sit with friends. I honestly love bringing friends from out of state here because they always gasp at how breathtaking it is and how amazing the drinks and food are. Cannonball constantly makes it to the top of my list as a transplanted, coffee loving, bostonian. read more

I came here near closing time on the weekend and there was a line out the door. It's a very popular coffee shop that I've been wanting to try for a while now. The inside was very cute and there were flowers everywhere and even though the line was out the door, I was able to get my drink in 20 minutes. I ended up getting the sea salt honey latte and a cheese danish. Both were good. I just wish that the price for the speciality drinks were displayed better - all the different flavorings can cause the drink price to add up. read more
