Capitol Coffee House - Two eggs over-easy - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Not great food and not cheap. Pretty low value for your money. It's the type of place construction workers go to. I paid around $12 for a breakfast and I could've easily made something better at home. read more

Came looking for pancakes and was not disappointed, 3 huge chocolate chip pancakes for a really good price and good coffee too

Super, super mediocre. The epitome of average. Meh[squared]. If you're looking to be wowed by how average breakfast can truly be, give Capitol a couple bucks and brace yourself for almost nothing. read more

This is a pretty decent place. I stopped by here after dropping off some papers at a building around the corner. I've actually walked by here a few times before but decided to grab some breakfast and coffee before heading back. I had a two egg breakfast that came with home fries and toast and a ice coffee. Overall it was pretty good for the price and it filled my stomach so that's all it matters. I thought it was weird that whether you were eating in or getting take-out, it will be served on a paper plate. I guess for the diners it would be easier to just throw out the paper plates than washing the dishes. Unless it was just me but I felt that I got more ice coffee in my cup since they used crushed ice. For places like Dunkin' Donuts, they use big chunks and you end up getting more ice than coffee. Good place to stop by for quick breakfast and the service in my opinion was pretty quick and they were nice too. Edit: Went back to get another ice coffee but was disappointed. The coffee was extremely watery and I couldn't taste the hazelnut or even coffee at all.. Kinda sad because I do like this place.. read more

This is your typical daytime, stop and go type of place. They've got great quick meals and really good iced coffee (the ice is really fun to chew on for you sexual frustrated people out there!). Definitly a local spot so don't be alarmed if people glance at you when you walk in for the first time. You can be one of those locals soon enough. Great location, only open during the day so you can't sit there and study in the evenings. boo. But finally, a mom and pop coffee shop in a city that lacks them (and desperately needs them!) read more

They serve breakfast sandwiches all day. Nuff said. Nevertheless, I'll say more. It's fast, friendly, and I dig their croissant bacon egg cheese for 3.75. Especially because I can get it at 3 in the afternoon. read more

Located in the same building where John F. Kennedy once stayed on the 2nd floor and this address was where he registered to vote. Ordered the breakfast Capitol special for $6.50 Two Eggs any style, Two Pancakes with Sausage and Home Fries. The staff was nice and the food cooked to order. A small restaurant with 5+ tables, and sitting counters facing the sidewalk and where you can watch them cook. They do not have any condiments at the tables, so you need to get it from them when you go pick up your order. Also, you bus your own plates when you leave. A good value for a fresh cooked breakfast, and it was tasty. Nothing special, but a good breakfast served on a plastic plate with plastic utensils. Coffee was good too. I would come back again. read more

As a student @ Suffolk University, the location is perfect. The food is great, too. And fast! So if you're looking for a quick bite and a refreshing drink, these guys are your boys. I love the homey feel they give this restaurant too. I think it's incredibly underrated and deserves a lot more praise. read more

Everything in my brain tells me that a place serving breakfast on paper plates can't possibly obtain five stars, so there you have my reason for the four, however, IF the place was spruced up a bit and real plates/cups were used, I feel confident I could allot those five easily. For what it is, the Capitol Coffee House is fantastic. Food was quick, well cooked, delicious, and the service was friendly and responsive. Bonus points for the US Presidents paper placemats - we had a good time trying to see if we could guess all 44 (well, 43 - that Cleveland fella nabbed it twice). In summation: stellar breakfast basics, acceptable service, ho-hum atmosphere, great stop for a cheap, quick, tasty omelette with toast. read more

Service was good and friendly. Ambiance none, unless you are sitting on the counter, and enjoy reviewing the last game. Be prepared to retrieve your breakfast order. Food is good, not excellent. If you are looking for a sit down, menu rich with selection, go elsewhere. read more

I spent the past week working in Boston and my first stop of each day was located steps from Capital Coffee House. Due to the fact that the commuter rail was still not on a full schedule, I wound up arriving in Boston with plenty of time to spare each morning. After checking out Capital Coffee House on the first morning for coffee, I was hooked. I made this the first stop each morning and never felt rushed so therefore was able to enjoy my coffee while I people-watched and got some work done. The coffee was really...really good and after the second day, the guy behind the counter knew just how I took it. I even sampled their breakfast a time or two and was very pleasantly surprised. Definitely a very pleasant part of my time in Boston. Looking forward to returning for another week in a couple of months and will definitely be back here! read more

Real nice guys that are fast and friendly. Breakfast wrap is good. I know their target market is probably the court house staff and the construction crews but as a local I come here instead of Dunkin or Starbucks since it's a small business and the prices are cheaper. Iced coffee is basically the same as dunkin. read more

While the place looks like a 1950s mess hall, the people that work there really have all the charm that the place itself lacks. The sterile green walls are made up for by a friendly greeting and the linoleum counters by the excellent service and any warm conversation that follows. The fellas here are nothing, but nice, and are willing to take on the fly orders and unusual requests with a "Yeah, we can do that." The space itself is oddly j-shaped and filled with everyone from state legislators, suits, and students to mothers and their children. The clientèle is really a mish mash of what Boston is actually made of. The food is definitely not gourmet, but it's a bunch of guys making (insert meal here) it tastes delicious and can certainly cure any hangover you throw its way. Try the sausage breakfast sandwich on a croissant, I doubt you'll regret it. (Also the French Toast is awesome). read more

Nice place with great prices on food and terrific specials. It's not a fancy place. All food here is served in paper plates and coffee in paper cups. However the service and food is good. Very friendly staff making you feel very comfortable once sitting. It's mostly a breakfast bar all around the kitchen area and there are some tables in the back. We came here as a 2nd choice as the Paramount had about hour wait. I will come back here again for sure. Food was prepared quickly and exactly as ordered. read more

See all

Love these guys - they have a personal touch that makes early mornings just a little easier. The fact that they greet me by name when I walk in the door is really appreciated! And that's just after I mentioned my name to one of the guys... once. It shows a care for the customer and attention to detail. (Better than Starbucks that asks me to spell my name before my first cup of coffee in the morning... a more brutal and humbling ritual.) Oh, and the lattes are very good, very smooth and not at all bitter! read more

My partner and I sometimes go here for breakfast because it's close to home, the food is good, and everything is inexpensive. Note: I have only been here for breakfast. The service is very friendly. The food is absolutely great if you're in the mood for something down-to-earth, straight-forward, and slightly greasy. The pancakes are very delicious--crispy circumference and fluffy, with just the right amount of chewiness (maybe chewy is not the right word choice... Whatever. It's good. Just order it). I love their random paper placemats. They used to have mats with pictures of all the presidents, but now they have mats with photographs of places to visit in Italy (and not the top tourist spots you would expect). I love the paper plates. I love the plastic utensils neatly wrapped in paper napkins. Will keep coming back. read more

As a person who has been here many times for lunch only, the only thing that keeps me coming back is its proximity to my work. Nice guys who work behind the counter, but mediocre lunch choices that taste like something your mom would pack for lunch (bland and boring). And for the lack of flavor and quality, the prices are a bit high. I haven't tried the breakfast, but that's probably a better gamble than the lunch choices I've made here. Warning: stay away from the meatball sub. Whatever meat product was inside the sub was complete mush and reminded me of cat food, meow? read more

My favorite counter style/fast hot breakfast in Boston! Their iced coffees are great too; the ice is all crushed up which makes it special for some reason. Their scrambled eggs with cheese are never overlooked, light, fluffy & perfect, I always pair it with their delicious French Toast) it's called the French Toast Special". I am a regular toast kind of FT person and like mine really moist. If you like dry thick Brioche FT like they seem to serve everywhere else in Boston, don't get it then. My husband always gets an omelet which he loves. I love that there hash browns are made of red potatoes too. My only wish is that they were open on Sunday; otherwise they are perfect! Great prices too. read more

Highly recommend. Not only is the food good and the coffee great, the guys working behind the counter are superb!

I ordered several items and all were a fail. the entire family disliked the taste or lack of flavor. literally, nothing had flavor. friendly staff, otherwise no need for me to return. Order included- breakfast wrap, omelet and breakfast platter subbed with blueberry pancakes. read more

Solid breakfast with no frills. Good portion size at an affordable price. Friendly staff with plenty of seating.

Loved this place! Stopped by CCH for some breakfast the other day and ordered a breakfast burrito and a coffee. It was a great time just sitting at the counter and listening to the employees make smalltalk with the cafe regulars. Prices were only okay (maybe around $7.00?), but damn, that breakfast burrito was served piping hot and might have been the tastiest thing I had all weekend. The view is nice, too; across the street is some sort of government-looking building with all sorts of people milling in and out. I wish I had a place near by me! I'd be in there practically every morning. read more

Hair in food. Good prices on food and pretty large menu. I got the omelette and it came with potatoes and bread. Food was not bad but nobody wore hair nets. Kind servers. read more

Really awesome Italian run breakfast/brunch place. Run by Italian middle aged Italian guys who make awesome simple food. I had the Greek chicken wrap - chicken, tomato, lettuce, feta and tzatziki all in a wrap, very tasty! You can watch them make the stuff right there in front of you and they are quick at it too. Definitely going back to this place before we leave! read more

Simple, old school coffee shop/diner hybrid. Capitol Coffee House doesn't do anything fancy. You can get breakfast sandwiches and dunkin level coffee or order a full cooked breakfast. The breakfast sandwich is a lot better than your typical chain fare, with a freshly cracked egg and griddled sausage. No microwave here. If your'e looking for a quick breakfast near Government Center or the Statehouse, this is your spot. read more

The food is nothing special and the coffee is decidedly mediocre, but - and be honest with yourself - do you really care, first thing in the morning? The staff are friendly without being chatty and the service is quick without making you feel rushed. Prices and portions are reasonable for a hearty weekday breakfast. I had a sizeable Denver omelette, hash browns, toast and coffee for under $10. If you're looking for a mind-blowing brunch or nectar-of-the-gods coffee, you won't find it here. If you're just looking to survive until your lunch break, this is the place to be. read more

Not the best and not the worst. All I got was a sausage egg and cheese on a croissant. Bread was fresh and good, but all o got for sausage were 2 sausage links, that were extremely syrupy. Also quite greasy. This place is nothing extraordinary. read more

Capitol Coffee House - Sausage egg and cheese on a croissant. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The food and service here is amazing. I got breakfast here once and it was the highlight of my entire week! Very friendly vibe to the place. It's only weak point is the place itself could use an updated look. Plus, being a financially concerned college student, the prices here are a steal. Overall, this place is truest a hidden gem and I proudly recommend it. read more

Amazing pancakes! Super fluffy and not at all soggy. Got the ham and cheese and onion omelet, which was also good and quite a lot of food at a reasonable price. read more

No complaints about service or food, the food is what you would expect for the price. Nothing special but not bad. What really angered me was the fact that they only give you one-time-use cups, plates, and utensils. Plastic, paper, and styrofoam. Our planet is dying and places like these are the reason why. I understand it might be cheaper, but it is creating unnecessary waste that ends up in the oceans and landfills. Think about future generations! read more

I look don't go to this place expecting The Friendly Toast, go in expecting cheap good diner food and you'll be happy. No it's not hipsters, no it probably doesn't have vegan options or the option for oat milk in your coffee, but it does have some seriously good pancakes and bacon and home fries for actually decent rates in the city. Seriously I don't want to spend 15$ on one meal all the time you know, we need more small family run businesses like Capitol Coffee in Boston! read more

The Capital Coffee house is a great Beacon Hill treasure. The food is great and the location is better. Located right on the corner of Bowdoin and Ashburton Place, it's windows are great for people watching! The staff favors regulars but are normally pretty friendly. ** Bring cash! No credit cards excepted, ugh. read more

An old favorite place of mine for breakfast. Been coming here for years...the guys are great and super freindly, the food is great greasy spoon variety. Not many places in the area where you can get a normal breakfast like this. Boston has changed a lot over the years, thankfully Capitol Coffee House hasn't! read more

Walked over to this little gem and got a coffee, blended iced expresso mocha, bacon egg and cheese croissant and a bacon egg and cheese omelet with potatoes. Excellent food at a low cost and great tasting coffee. Very happy I stopped in here. read more

While visiting Boston on vacation my family stopped here for breakfast. This is the closest thing to a home cooked meal that we've had since we've been here. Food was prepared exactly to order, service was friendly and fast. This is definitely worth a stop if you can. read more

We walked across town to this cafe, arriving at 20 till close. Sadly, we were greeted by an unfriendly host who asserted they were closed. Maybe this cafe should consider adjusting their hours if they close before the listed time (or at least so far in advance). read more

Capitol Coffee House is so good. Sooooo good. How good? Good enough that it essentially single-handedly destroyed my newfound personal austerity. As someone who enjoys going out to eat and drink, but doesn't have much money, I decided that I'd commit myself to really limiting stuff I don't need to get; I can make coffee at home, and pack my lunch for work - save, save, save. And I was doing well with it too, which is unlike me. Then one morning I was sleepy, in a rush, had some cash in my pocket, and really needed some coffee. I passed by the Capitol Coffee House and figured, eh, just this once. And boom, there it was, and now it's over. I'm in there pretty much every day. The coffee is heavenly, in my opinion; put some cream and sugar in it and it goes down like hot cocoa - smooth and delicious. The large coffee is also super big for $1.90 and provides a heck of a jolt, especially on a frigid Boston morning. Since giving into the coffee I've also started trying food there and it's all been excellent for the price. I expected the breakfast to be really good - eggs, bacon, sausage, etc., all top notch. But what surprised me was how good lunch was. I had an Italian Sub that honestly rivaled my favorite, Uptown Café, in terms of deliciousness and crispiness of the bread, as well as the freshness of the ingredients. For a location right in the heart of Beacon Hill the prices are phenomenal, and as has been mentioned by other reviewers, the staff here is great and really puts me in a great mood in the morning. They're mostly all Italian guys from, I think, Naples and seem like they're either friends or family. The clientele consists largely of outgoing regulars and the staff gets to know them well; one guy working behind the counter noticed my Liverpool soccer scarf and now talks to me every day about how his beloved Naples team is doing. I love the Capitol Coffee House and if you have a soul (and prefer good coffee to crappy chain coffee) you will too. read more

Regular for coffee... worth the walk up the hill from the chain places. Med coffee for under $2. Recommend a visit. read more
