One of my favorite places to get coffee in the north end (technically west end, but it's close…read moreenough). The service is always pretty quick and there's never a wait either. That might be because of its location..it's kind of tucked away and the first time it took us a while to find. The easiest way to get there is to walk in to north station by the star market entrance, turn left and walk straight until you get to the doors and then walk through those and you'll see it (you'll pass Dunkin on the way). It's not what I would describe as a cozy coffee shop, it's the kind of place where you get your coffee and then leave. Now the drinks themselves.. The coffee cream/coffee ice cream is DELICIOUS. This was the first thing I ever tried and it blew me away. It is very heavy but so yummy. The latte affogato is also delicious, probably because they use that coffee cream in it! The Americano is great with any of the coffee blends. The Nutella latte is also one of my favorites, especially if you like Nutella. The gingerbread affogato was great too! This is a seasonal item I think but if it's there definitely try it! Everything here is so great, and the rotating specials make it very easy to want to keep going back and trying new ones. Highly recommend!

Really nice brewery right by TD garden! They have a large space inside and about 5 tables outside…read more We were able to sit outside with our dog. On the particular day we visited, they were understaffed and were only offering bar service which was fine with us. We got a few of their beers which were all excellent. The Belgian Waffles truly had an end taste of maple syrup. The lemon shandy is very dry and slightly sour. We got the arancini which were SO good. We also got the truffle fries which were great. We got the Shifty, Forager, and blazin bird pizzas. All of them were really good in their own ways. The Blazin Bird was a popular one at the table.

Brewery #409…read more Nightshift brewing is a cool place along the wharf just across the street from The Garden to get a few beers and a bite to eat. I ordered my usual flight, but they were out of stickers :( They had some unique beers amongst them one called Belgian Waffles which is a blonde ale with maple syrup and cinnamon. This was dessert or breakfast, depending on your perspective, in a glass. I also got a hazy IPA, a peanut butter stout, and a hefe. All were really good. For lunch I got some honey jerk wings. These were cooked to perfection. Crisp skin and juicy meat. The problem was the flavor. They had the honey but no jerk. There was no spice at all. They were still good, but they could have been great. Anyway, give me stickers and spice and I will give you that 5th star.

The only reason this is 4 stars was because I ended up spending g $21 for the latte and the pie, which plus a tip, felt a little excessive for a latte and a pastry. Granted, the mince pie ended up being really filling, so I'd say it was worth it. I will definitely come back here for special occasions!!

A north end FAVORITE. I love thinking cup, as does anyone in the neighborhood…read more The cafe itself has a very rustic vibe to it, and I love that the table tops have that newspapers under the glass. It makes it fun if you're sitting down. I've gotten food here before but I wouldn't say that their food is my favorite (although it is really good, I just like some other spots a bit more for breakfast). Their coffee is outstanding though. I myself rarely have just cold brew. I like a foam, I love a dessert drink. But their honey cinnamon cold brew....out of this world. It is my go to every time. I've tried their lattes and they are fine, but you're missing out if you don't try their cold brew. Their hot chocolate in the winter with the macadamia milk is also exceptional if you aren't a coffee person. The service is always pretty quick, while there might be a line it does move fast and they get drink orders out quickly. The staff is also always really nice and helpful. The price is on par with the neighborhood. Love thinking cup and have been back + will continue to go back many more times!

It's a great place to meet up with friends or get some work done. They also had some pastry items and sandwiches. The employees were friendly and kept the line moving quickly. Definitely give this a shot if you're in the area.

One of the many food and drink options located in Hub Hall near the TD Garden. Which before the…read moreconcert we attended you could tell everyone had the same idea to pop in and grab a bite or a drink. We had already eaten but wanted to grab a drink and couldn't pass up trying a bubble tea spot. So as you'd expect this review is solely for just drinks. Service wise we ordered from the little kiosk which worked well and allowed for plenty of customizing of your drink. That was a positive but also could be a quick way to make your price sky high with most additions being an extra dollar. They give you an order number that will be called when your order is ready. As we were waiting a worker did ask if we were waiting and for our order number and then they seemed to put a rush on making it and they apologized for the wait. Which honestly I did not think we had a long wait but appreciated the staff still. Overall the space for waiting is limited but won't hold that in a negative light since it's a food hall. I grabbed a Mango Fruit Tea with mango popping boba added while my wife got their toasted brown sugar milk tea. Both were pretty good but neither blew us away. My wife did not like the syrup in her brown sugar milk tea, had an odd flavor to it. Maybe we should have picked different drinks that would have impressed more. I would return to give some of their food a try in the future and more drinks though. Friendly staff with decent drinks and located in a very convenient location if you are visiting TD Garden.

I went here waiting for a concert at TD Garden. I can't really express anything other than it's…read moremid. For the price, it was whatever. I spent $21 on their original dog, half cheese & half sausage with ketchup; as well as a large bubble tea. The sausage was my least favorite but with the cheese, it was pretty good. The bubble tea lacked a lot. There wasn't a very good selection. I also asked for no boba pearls, and of course, it had boba pearls. Hub Hall is packed but the wait time was atrocious. It took over 20 minutes to receive my two items. Honestly, I think Currentea is a cute little place not suitable for its location. It seems too small for many staff members and they're very overworked. I appreciate the hustle of the staff but it gets to a point it's unacceptable.

Since I was in Boston, I definitely needed a slice of Boston creme pie. It was delicious! I would love to try their coffees and other pastries next time I come by :) Lines get long for lunch and things do sell out quickly so plan on either waiting or coming a bit earlier. There is seating upstairs and downstairs but it does get filled pretty quickly.

I do not go out for coffee much anymore due to the convenience and cost effectiveness of a Breville and am often frustrated paying over $5 for mediocre coffee, but flour cafe was not in this boat. Their cappuccino had the balance of flavor and aesthetic for a pleasant drink for my wife and I. Even better was the fact that these drinks were served by someone with a warm spirit and smile.. hard to get great service these days. Also, I am not eating flour until March but my wife said the ham and cheese croissant was incredible: generous portion of ham and cheese, baked to perfection, and not too bread(y). This is a great place to stop (in a beautiful residential area too).

Wait time was about 15 min, which they tell you as soon as you order. The wait was well worth it. I got a hot hojicha latte and it is one of the best I have tried.

Would recommend this spot to anyone.

Ogawa Coffee is a Japanese cafe that stands out with its artistic interior, unique tiered seating,…read moreand carefully designed atmosphere. We walked into a space that mixes communal tables, stadium-style seating, and smaller spots to sit, making it a place where you can stop in for a quick drink or stay longer with a laptop. The interior design is one of the biggest highlights, giving the cafe a more elevated experience compared to a typical coffee shop. The tiered seating in particular creates a visual dynamic that makes the room feel more intentional than your standard coffee counter. The drinks are the main focus here, especially the matcha, hojicha, and espresso-based options. We ordered the hojicha latte, which was one of the strongest items on the menu, with a deep roasted flavor and a smooth texture. The matcha has a more traditional earthy profile and leans less sweet, which works well if you prefer a more authentic matcha taste. The drinks are on the expensive side, but the quality of the ingredients and preparation make it feel more like a specialty cafe experience rather than a standard coffee stop. The food and dessert options add another reason to visit, with items like the egg sandwich, quiche, macarons, and hojicha desserts available depending on the day. The menu is smaller compared to a full brunch cafe, but it pairs well with the drinks and gives the visit more of a cafe-and-pastry feel. Service is friendly and the staff are knowledgeable about the drinks, which helps when choosing between the different Japanese tea options. The cafe can get busy, and seating is limited compared to the number of people who come through, but the layout gives it a unique character. Ogawa Coffee works well for specialty coffee and tea lovers looking for a more intentional cafe experience in Boston, especially if you enjoy Japanese-style drinks and a thoughtfully designed space.
