Consistent good service and amazing iced tea. Can be busy at times, but always worth the wait.

I really want to like this place, but the food doesn't make up for how slow the service is. The menu is enticing, full of creative and tasty sounding breakfast sandwiches, but they aren't able to execute efficiently enough. One Saturday morning I called in an order, they said it should be ready in about 15-20 minutes, but it actually took 50 minutes. Taking 2-3x times longer was the most frustrating part - I would have ordered somewhere else, or left later to pick up the order. read more

Green T Coffee Shop - Eldora Sandwich, The Popeye Wrap - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

i used to love going there for my bagel sandwiches. Yet, on Valentine's day my husband was refused service at 3 in the afternoon! the rude counter staff would not give my husband a bagel! they said the kitchen is closed . i sat there in the coffee shop and kept my mouth shut.! i get cutting a bagel and putting cream cheese required putting the stove on!!! Don't go on the weeekend if this is how you are going to be treated! read more

I really want to like this place. It's convenient, reasonably priced, and has good hours. The vibe is just so odd. IF you are greeted at the register, it always comes with a side of irritation at having the audacity to interrupt a conversation the barista was having (often with their back fully turned to the door.) Depending on the day, if the service doesn't drive you away, the music volume will. Listen, I love my music but when you cannot get your order across because the blues are taking over...the food isn't bad at all. Coffee is mid, but drinkable. If they could fix their customer service and inconsistency I would go more often. i tend to drive to Square root if I want an attitude because at least the coffee is good. read more

Cute little coffee shop! We ordered a chai latte and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. It is a little on the sweeter side, but I found it very pleasant. I definitely want to come back next time I am in the area and try other things on the menu! read more

The spot is nestled in the surrounding neighborhood. You can generally find street parking around the area. Amiable and accommodating staff (interestingly a no tip place). I got the Popeyes breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel. A little on the pricier side close to $10 but extremely filling and well portioned with mozzarella cheese, spinach and onions. Bagel was also fresh and soft. Would get again or try another one of their unique breakfast sandwiches. Close by to the Arboretum if you need a quick pick me up before strolling around. read more

Green T Coffee Shop - The Popeye Wrap (modified on everything bagel) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

The inside was decorated nicely, it's nestled in the neighborhood and parking is available on either side of the street. However, it is on the pricier side. Smoothie was about $8 , it was watery& also tasted just like red wine? It's as if the fruit had gone bad, ut had a sour taste to it. I got the "Belaire" for reference. For the price i'd say the smoothie is definitely not worth it. Definitely try something else if you're planning on coming here. In terms of my experience and the service, the cashier was a bit rude, he had looked me up and down, did not greet me as he did the other customers, and once i placed my order & it was complete- he did not call out my name, order number, nothing of the sort. just placed my watery smoothie on the counter and walked away. Overall, my main gripe is the consistency, flavour of the smoothie, and the price point. read more

Green T Coffee Shop - The Belaire Smoothie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

Went here recently after a day trip to Boston and thoroughly enjoyed it. The atmosphere was great, the service was fast and friendly, the prices were beyond reasonable especially for Boston. The smoothie seemed extremely fresh and was super flavorful. The coffee was very good as well. Highly recommend this place for anyone passing by or if you're looking for a great coffee shop in general this is a must try! read more

Great vibe, locally owned, delicious sandwiches and shakes, fun staff And the soft serve cones in season are a must try. read more

The shop at Roslindale. Hunter and William are awesome. I don't know the girl that works weekends, but she is very very very rude , she's ignorant, unprofessional and talks and acts like a thug. I, got assaulted in your shop and tried to report it to her and how i can reach the owner. I, asked several times without a response. Then, before I left I mentioned it to her again, and she said, " I, really don't care today is my last day". So, I responded back and we had words. She, then swept all the garbage and dirt on my sneakers and pants while she was cleaning. I, was there today, Sunday and she started with me again in front of all the customers causing a big scene. She refused to serve me ,but another customer jumped in and bought me my coffee .This worker told me her last day was that day of the situation and wouln't help because it was her last day and did't care., she stated. Obviously, this employee has no compassion , empathy and does not care about the customers getting assaulted in the establishment where she is employed!! I, hope she has no kids. For, this thug lady not to care about something that important she is pure EVIL. Fire her. You, will continue with bad reviews because i already know lots people dont attend anymore because of the assault and this rag time employee. read more

Found it on Yelp on a trip to the city. The homemade 20 oz chai is fabulous, and not made from a prefab mix. Ordered a large cinnamon scone too which is super delicious and chewy. Wonderful vibe, working internet, cozy atmosphere with a (gas) fireplace, and the barista was very friendly. Highly recommended and I hope to come back again soon! read more

Terrible service. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and waited over 30 minutes before finally asking the man making the food what the status was. He had no idea what I had even ordered.. At least 10 groups had come in after me and already gotten their food and left. Horrible experience read more

This is a very convenient coffee shop. The food is good and most of the staff are pleasant. The reason I stopped going is because, every time I went in, every single surface was dirty and sticky. In addition to that, there is no air conditioning and the staff were sweating into my drink and food orders. read more

This is one of my go to spots for Breakfast food and coffee. I always get their caramel iced latte and it is delicious every time. They also don't skimp out on the amount of coffee which is such a plus. The kind female staff that made my coffee felt it to the top and has the perfect proportion of ice and coffee and milk. I know it sounds weird but I feel like it definitely makes a big difference. Also get the western omelette on an onion bagel, the chef makes it very delicious and you definitely can't go wrong with that! I highly recommend trying their stuff, they have such a large variety ! read more

With such a small, unassuming kitchen you'd never expect how amazing the food is. My personal favorites are the Eldora for breakfast and the spicy chicken melt. The pastries are always great as well and vary depending on the day. There are lots of flavors for coffees and it's usually great. Only complaint is sometimes the matcha lattes are a little too milky, but otherwise everything is usually perfect. read more

Nice space with some big windows for a good breeze. They have an extensive menu with smoothies, salads, and pastries available. I ordered an iced tea that was nothing special, but I was particularly unimpressed with my smoothie which was watery and didn't have much flavor. It was $8 too which is quite expensive given its size. Service wasn't all entirely too friendly either. read more

It's hard for me to not give green T five stars, because I really love their food, but there are a couple things about the service and ambience that lead me to take a star off. I'll start off with the food, which has always been delicious. Over multiple visits, we've tried their coffee drinks, smoothies, egg, sandwiches, pastries, and a burrito. The coffee is good, smoothies, and breakfast breakfast sandwiches are delicious. Their pastries aren't the best I've ever had, but I would happily eat one again. I really appreciate the variety in their breakfast sandwiches, and their multiple vegetarian options. The price also seems pretty reasonable for what you get. The challenge, though, is that they often seemed understaffed, which leads to errors and backups in the ordering process. The last two times I've been there's been something wrong with my order (e.g. something was omitted, or was made wrong). it also feels like the whole place could use a good wipe down. The tables and floors have a lot of crumbs and spills. None of this will stop me from going back, but just something to note for the future! read more

Absolutely the best coffee and wonderful staff. Going there for years and the quality has always been amazing.

I've been coming to Green T for years and the setting/decor is great (nice spot to work, good music), and the food and coffee are amazing. I used to love it. It gets 3 stars because I've noticed over the last year or so that several staff members need serious customer service training. Some folks have been really great over time but a couple of women who work up front are outwardly rude - I'm talking: eyes rolling, laughing at customers with their coworkers when they think people can't see them, accusatory ("you didn't SAY you wanted milk in that Americano"), and generally no greetings, thanks or courteous demeanor to people who are spending money in their establishment. Almost like you're bothering them by being there. I waited tables and worked in hospitality for years so this isn't a Karen-type of review. I truly hope the owners/management see this and work with the employees to improve the overall experience for the local customers. Call me crazy, but a place like this should be putting out a friendly and warm vibe. I used to think it was an awesome spot to walk to and frequent, now I try to avoid it. read more

I love their iced chai latte ! The bagel sandwiches are too good! A great place if you're on the go.

With charming rustic wood interior, cute visible signs, the variety of speciality/unique drinks, sandwiches and baked goods, this place has become my number one spot to go to in Roslindale. Vanilla Rose Tea Latte- Rose tea, vanilla syrup and steamed milk is such a heavenly combination. This absolutely blew every tea latte I've ever had out of the water. The Cucumber Special- Sliced cucumbers, hard-boiled eggs with cream cheese and scallions on a garlic bagel, hello! Can you say refreshingly delicious? Plus, there are so many health benefits from eating cucumbers and they don't skimp. Overall Service: Consistently greeted with a smile along with a friendly "good morning" every time I've stopped by recently. They seem to be well-staffed to get the orders in and customers out the door in a timely fashion, truly understand the meaning of efficiency. I'm a fan! read more

Really good smoothies, nitro cold brew, and decent bagel sandwiches. This place made the neighborhood exponentially better.

We're back! My husband and I stopped for coffee only because the sandwiches were off last time. Off as in dry, rushed, missing ingredients bad. Surprisingly today we saw the big guy who made our sandwiches the first few times. Happy happy. So today we got our delicious coffee and the Spanish omelette. No pictures because we ate it quick but glad to see the big guy there. He said he only worked Friday, Saturday and Sunday, take note. He puts love in all his food and you can taste it! read more

I passed by this place for years and never went in. I ordered Chinese food down the street and popped in and loved it. I ordered two types of iced tea and they were really inspired. Great attention to detail, like adding mint leaves to one of them. The woman who waited on me was very busy and the only one there and her customer service was wonderful. I went a second time and ordered the same two iced teas. Different employee but same nice service. The only qualm I have is that, in ordering the same items, I was charged more the second time. I'd still highly recommend this place! read more

Just had the worst experience here...and I come here a lot. I placed my order 20 min prior to my arrival so I didn't have to waste my lunch break . I get there, the couple in front of me pays and I pay. My sandwich isn't ready so I wait 15 min and ask the cashier. He said he's just finishing up then 5 min later gives the couple their order and not mine. He doesn't check with the kitchen when I ask how much longer and says "a bit . How long does it take to figure out how to make a breakfast sandwich with no other customers there. I don't mind waiting but if I called ahead before and I still have to wait and it's still not ready and the staff doesn't communicate ???? Makes no sense . Shouldn't take an hour to get a bagel sandwich. read more

The food is pretty good, but the maple pumpkin latte is awesome. The services is really good, and there is typically very few other guests in the afternoon, so it is a vibe to work from. They also have a nice fire place. read more

A very quaint coffee shop near the T. I loved that their smoothies are not too sweet and they have a bunch of baked goods. I'd highly recommend coming and, taking a seat, and giving yourself time to appreciate the Smalls things in life. If you bring in a reusable mug, they'll fill it with your coffee or tea order! read more

Great local place to grab a drink or snack. Friendly. Great soft serve ice cream in the warmer months. Love the windows that open to the sidewalk. Thanks for coming to our neck of the woods (the original was near Brigham Circle). read more

Good items but don't like that the kitchen closes at 2pm... some people eat lunch late .. Also every time I go they always forget to give me some of my items .. read more

Went here for first time this morning. Felt greeted right from the street because of the way the windows open onto the street corner almost saying "please come in". Next greeting was the smiles on the faces of the staff. There are a few seats if you want to stay a while. The atmosphere feels like a petite Starbucks with all the machines that have fancy ways to make a coffee or cappuccino, but it also had its own local look and feel. With dark wood and a historical aura it seemed to belong in an old Boston neighborhood. It's a convenient location for many commuters and it was very easy to find on street parking. I ordered a crumb cake that must be made with one stick of butter per square. I don't even want to know the calorie count but it melted in my mouth. I'll be back for sure! read more

The coffee/tea was good here. Staff were not very friendly and cook seemed a bit aggravated. It was disorganized getting the orders even though it was busy. My fiancé and I ordered "the Popeye" and only one of the wraps was correct. The other was full of onion and Siracha on a white wrap. After she ate it she told the barista that her wrap was wrong but she still wanted to buy the Popeye. They did apologize for the inconvenience. She took her wrap to work and when she ate it, it was again, wrong. Spinach wrap with a ton of onion and no spinach or cheese. 20 dollars for 2 wrong orders. We won't be back. read more

Really wanted to like this place and went for a smoothie and breakfast burrito. But unfortunately, the staff was very unfriendly.

Great place for a bagel sandwich. Came here for brunch. We got the California bagel- onion bagel or everything bagel is a must. We also got the spicy chicken melt- loads of protein, although I wished the shredded chicken was a little moist, a few jalapeños for a kick, and the croissant bread was my favorite. Lightly crisp on the outside, but inside soft and chewy. read more

The teas that we ordered are tea tea tea! Actual tea! No added sugar according to the barrister. Not sure if it's true though as it is a bit sweet. Interesting lemon ginger green tea. read more

Love the ambiance of this place and their smoothies. That said, their customer service is SERIOUSLY lacking. The person working seemed absolutely miserable, was rude when I called ahead, and slammed my drinks on the counter without saying a word. Jeez... anyway, I'll probably go back, but I hope they have a talk with their employees about their attitude :( read more
