    Elephantine is a cute and delicious French inspired cafe in southeast Boston/ Seaport area. We did walk from our hotel in downtown and it was in walkable distance. They serve coffee tea pastries and have a food menu (sandwich, salads, etc). We did try a pastry which was good, as well as Cardamom iced lattes. Everything was good, the inside was cute and cozy and the coffee was prepared nicely. Would come back!

    Loved the vibes of this cafe! The space is great for either working or catching up with friends. Their pastries were delicious (I recommend getting them heated up!). I personally enjoyed their coffee and pastries most, though the savory options were still solid - and everything was beautifully plated. The food takes a little longer to come out, but worth the wait. Would definitely come back for the vibes!

    What a wonderful way to start the day!!! People are friendly, the boutique coffee house is super cute and the coffee a pastries are amazing. Don't walk, run yourself over and try this place. You won't be sorry!!

    What a wonderful brunch! I don't think there's a better spot in Seaport. The interior is stunning and the food matched the upscale vibe. I got a mortadella focaccia sandwich. It had burrata and pesto. Delicious!!!! The sea salt on the bread was the chef's kiss. So flavorful and scrumptious. My wife's croque monsieur was spectacular. I definitely want to come again!

    Dishes were phenomenal as always. The service was so nice (we has to swap our order and they were so understanding and nice about it). Went in around 10:30am on a Saturday, not tooo busy but got a bit more busy by 11am. Beautiful interior.

    This place screams elegance loudly. The staff is very friendly, the food is delicious and the ambiance for a cafe is impeccable. Have been here twice now and everything I've tried is tasty. Will definitely be a returning customer time and time again.

    Beautiful cafe with European vibes. I visited this cafe for lunch and by 1pm the pastries were mostly sold out. Luckily the cardamom bun was still available. I enjoyed the soft delicately flavored bread along with the delicious kale salad. That kale salad was filled with a variety of textures and flavors and topped with different spreads. So good that I would come back just for that salad and to try different pastries!

    This is such a cute little bakery. The chocolate almond croissant and cinnamon roll were tasty. It was enough to share between two people. I enjoyed their cardamon honey latte. It gets very busy here, so finding a table for more than two might be difficult.

    This was my second time trying Elephantine, and this time I'd give it a 5 instead of a 4! Last time I went it was amazing, but this time I enjoyed it so much more. Maybe it is because the place has been open for a longer time now - the first time I went, it was still relatively new. My dad and I ordered the Turkish Poached Eggs and the Egg Sandwich and split them, and both were so delicious and bursting with flavor. I also drank the cardamom honey latte, which was so yummy - definitely better than the last time I went. The ambience is gorgeous and very comfortable - we stayed for a few hours since it's such a nice vibe. It feels chic, sophisticated, and aesthetic without feeling stuffy. The service was great - the servers were so friendly and our orders came out quick. I really loved Elephantine and will definitely return again!

    Came here on a Sunday morning to try their scone! Got a seat right before it got very busy and there was no space left Lived the scone, cherry inside and drizzled with dark chocolate. Crispy but soft in the centre. Cortado was great too! I'd say it's a nice place to work on a weekday when it isn't as busy and you don't feel under pressure to free up your seat. Will be back to try the cardamom bun and pistachio croissant!

    As soon as you walk into the cafe, you feel like you've been transported out of Fort Point! The decor is stunning, and I loved the fresh floral arrangements. Service was fast and friendly. The menu was kind of hard to read due to the cursive font that is used. From an accessibility standpoint, they should consider using a more simple font like the one that states what pastries they have. They have a large assortment of sweet treats and pastries. It's really hard to choose just one. I chose the lemon ricotta danish. For lunch, I ordered the eggplant sandwich. The flavors were bold and unique. It was a little bit hard to eat cause the eggplant was falling out but nonetheless very tasty. I wish it had come with a side salad or a side of homemade chips. My friend had the croque madame and it looked good. For drinks I enjoyed a hibiscus iced tea and my friend had a London fog. Both were yummy. Also, I'm hoping they'll have a special pastry at some point - like cherry, guava, or mango!!!! I'll def be back! Next time you're in Fort Point/Seaport, stop by!

    Elephantine is a remarkable bakery/cafe! There's absolutely nothing like it anywhere else in Boston, and its spot just along water adds to its chic, calming, and charming atmosphere. The interior has a wide variety of seating and is very spacious even during peak ours. The staff is friendly, fast serving, and professional making the experience feel almost like a restaurant or just a very nice cafe you'd find straight out of Paris! And the pastries of food transport you to Europe just as easily- their dessert case up front is filled with masterfully crafted, delicate pastries with beautiful sounding flavors. And their breakfast lunch menu is stacked! They offer such unique dishes, like their turkish poached eggs which are unmatched in flavor and freshness. While this spot is a little pricey, the food delivers on quality, taste, presentation, portion size, and really everything. I WILL be back to try the rest of their menu. This spot is excellent for going solo to get work done or sitting down with friends and family for a nice bite to eat. I highly recommend, you can't miss it!

    Went for the Apertivo, I've been to the cafe as well but feel like everyone at this point knows how successful they are as a cafe. The menu is small and we had 6 dishes total including a dessert. Vibes were A+ beginning to end with flowers at each table. Definitely an Italian slant on the menu but the standout was the prosciutto and chips. One of those things that seems like a super easy dish but is a perfect combo of flavors and was pulled off excellently. Had a few of the wines as well and appreciate that they were a little unique compared to the typical cab sav/sauv blanc house wines. Was there in the winter will have to check it out with warmer weather for sure.

    It was my first time visiting this shop because a friend recommended I try it out. On my first day,…read moreI ordered a pistachio croissant (the pistachio cream is so good!) and a Thai tea. For takeout, I got a mango mousse (nicely tart), a crème brûlée kouign-amann, and a rose raspberry bowtie. Everything tasted delicious--just the right amount of sweetness, not overly sweet at all. On the second day, I ordered takeout again: an almond croissant, a rocket pop pain suisse, and the crème brûlée kouign-amann once more. ​Anne was polite, super friendly, and very helpful with menu recommendations. On the first day when I ordered takeout, Anne even kept the pastries chilled for me because I couldn't walk around the area carrying them in the intense heat without them spoiling before I reached the hotel. Truly the best and most helpful service!

The banana tastes nicely sweet and fresh, creamed with miso adding that hint of savory goodness and topped with caramel. The croissant was beautifully flakey, buttery. Altogether they make for a really refreshing treat, it's not too sweet, which, as we all know, is the highest form of compliment a treat can be! Upon walking in the shop I was greeted by several staff (in a graceful, friendly, not over the top way) which is lovely for a morning vibe where I'm still yet to get my caffeine fix. Just the right amount of love and jolly. I sat outside by the park/plaza to enjoy a nice morning with my coffee and this pastry. Excellent addition to the neighborhood!

I came here 4 times when in town for a conference, as this way super conveniently located to the conference center (Menino). It's open 7am-10pm daily, is always seemingly busy but always very efficient and fast to deliver orders, and has a huge amount of comfortable seating. First visit: I tried the vegan breakfast burrito ($12), a nicely designed burrito with tofu, potato, spinach, roasted red peppers, vegan cheese, and mushrooms, served with salsa on the side. Very solid burrito. The Spanish burrito I tried another day--which came with vegan meatballs of some sort--was even better. Second visit: I got an açai bowl ($9 for the small size; $12 for regular), and added vegan protein powder ($2) blended in. It came with açai blended with almond milk, banana, strawberries, blueberries, and granola. Real good and plentiful even for the small size. Third visit: just ordered a bagel with vegan cream cheese that had tomato in it, and added some spinach on top ($5.50 total). Very generous spinach portion (for $0.50!), well-toasted bagel, and an appropriate amount of cream cheese. Very tasty. Moreover, each time I visited, I ordered a double espresso ($3.50), which was excellent. Proper espresso, deep body, strong, served with sparkling water and a piece of dark chocolate.

    When I'm on travel I love finding places with real, whole foods that don't make me feel like crap…read more I ordered from here every day. The prices are amazing for what you get :D The menu here is HUGE and has tons of options for customization. There are wraps, salads, smoothies, sandwiches, bowls, drinks - so many items to choose from! This place is located in the lobby of the Amazon Seaport Office. I got a Spicy Greek Breakfast Wrap ($13, +$1.50 for egg white sub) and a Santorini Sunrise Yogurt Bowl ($12). The portions are gigantic and the food is fresh. The Platters, both the breakfast and mezze are gorgeous. Pictures attached. The interior has ample seating and is bright and beautiful. They also prep your food impressively quickly given how many orders they seem to get! They get BUSY but I get why - the food is so good.

    This place rocks so much we came back for a second time, though our stay at Seaport was so short…read moreand originally we wanted to use every meal at a different spot. First of all, the pastry case just beautifully displays all the baked goods. It's quite a sight to see! I love the variety and flavors, very unique. If you know what you want, gotta get in line and grab it quick! If you wanna put in your own order, you can use the kiosk, which is really fun to use. I ordered a chai with oat milk (it's very light in flavor) and got a bialy. Honestly I had not had a bialy in over 25+ years... and was surprised to see it in the case and I had to have it. A corn + cheddar bialy. It did NOT disappoint. I also got london fog with oat milk previously, also very nice, but this place was soooo good we had to come back. My daughter loves pop tarts so when she saw it in the case, she got a blueberry pop tart and said it was very flakey and the jam was very jamful. It was the-last-one, even had the sign stuck in it!! She also got the french toast (2 slices) with kid's milk and said it was the best french toast she's ever had. My sis got a chocolate pain suisse, which I had never seen before. It's basically brioche filled with pastry cream and chocolate. It looked delicious and with coffee, my sis ate the whole thing up. All in all, this place has so much delicious eats.. I can understand if you live here, you could come every morning and still not get to everything in the pastry case! Definitely be back if we're in the Boston area again.

We ordered two iced lattes both with oat milk but the staff didn't take names or any way to identify when your drink was ready. When they called out a drink that matched one of the ones we ordered, we grabbed it and took a sip but new it wasn't oat milk and the barista confirmed that was whole milk and might have been someone else's order even after handing the drink to us. Once we solved that hiccup, the iced lattes were nothing memorable and the espresso used paled in terms of flavor. I really wanted to like this spot especially given it is tucked into a local bookshop right in the Seaport but this visit was just okay.
