    bacon egg and cheese with hashbrown on a croissant, medium cappuccino
    Kiana B.

    Once you make it past the ordering stage, this place is an absolute gem. The women working the counter were very nice, and they kept repeating orders as it got busy to ensure they got everybody's right. The food is 1000% nourishment for the soul with just the right amount of greasiness to the hashbrown and everything cooked perfectly. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese with hashbrown on a croissant and was the happiest person eating it. The place is fairly small, but there is ample seating given that most people ordered takeout. Excellent breakfast spot!

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and finally headed down at around noon this past weekend to get some donuts. The donuts were pretty good, I enjoyed my glazed one and the chocolate was good as well (yet very crumbly, it practically fell apart in my hand). Overall they were sweet, soft and tasted fresh. My only gripe was that the cashier was still helping the customer in front of us when she began to try and take our order. There was no line or need to rush, so I think it would seem more courteous to take your time with each customer, or simply allow them to finish paying before you move on to the next. The donuts were good though!

    Almost burnt croissant egg sandwich

    We arrived around noon on a Saturday and while we know it's a bit on the later side, we were disappointed to see they were pretty much cleared out. I thought it would have been stocked more similarly to their pastry shops, but it was vastly different. The woman with the short hair behind the counter wasn't very friendly, bordering on rude. Especially in comparison to the other woman with the blond hair who was more pleasant. We grabbed the last cinnamon roll, 2 glazed donuts, an egg with cheese on a croissant and a cold brew. The cold brew was $6, seems kinda steep. The glazed so nuts were good, I'd definitely get them again. But it was downhill from there. Coffee was mediocre, the cinnamon bun tasted like the ones you can get at a NYC food truck. The croissant was practically burnt (I didn't ask for hit to be toasted), and the egg was seemingly pre-made a la Dunkin. That was kind of a bummer because the croissant looked good on the shelf.

    Friendly staff, lots of regulars come here, I popped in because I wanted a fresh glazed donut and a small hot coffee. Perfect treat on a chilly April weekend afternoon. Prices are very reasonable. I will be back!

    Pros: -Freshest dough in the city. Seriously, it's SO soft it deflates in your hands. -The staff here continue to be awesome. I was buying a dozen donuts ($10.99) with a $10 giftcard and a credit card. They must now have a credit card minimum because the woman assisting me told me she couldn't charge the $0.99, so she said I could just pay it next time. -Jelly is a frightening red color, which is actually a Pro because jelly donuts are the worst and this donut self-signals that you should steer clear. Cons: -Credit card minimum (not sure if $3 or $5) -Skimpy with the chocolate frosting

    Great little neighborhood donut spot, there's usually a small line on the weekend but I had no problem going in the morning on a weekday. The staff are nice and the shop is exactly what you would expect of a neighborhood donut place -- cute, but nothing extravagant. The donuts are $1.40 each and they are delicious. I ordered a jelly donut which was very tasty and definitely seemed like they either made the jam from scratch or used a high quality raspberry jam. Would recommend stopping by if you're craving a sweet treat in the morning. Overall, a great stop in Mission Hill!

    I'd say this place is probably on the same level as Dunkin's in terms of both quality and price. I came here on my own on a Sunday afternoon for some pre-museum fuel. Many of the flavors were already out, but I grabbed the very last glazed donut (yay!). Service was pretty decent, nothing spectacular. They have all the "classic" donut flavors, and not much other unique donut flavors that are all the rage these days. Coupled with the interior though, it's kind of nostalgic--it has that 1990's look and feel. Reminds me of my neighborhood's local donut shop I used to go as a kid. It's comforting! There is lots of seating, but most people take their food to go. For around a buck a donut, you can't really complain. The donut was pretty standard, nothing really special; it doesn't really differ much to a Dunkin Donut glazed donut to me (which is not anything negative because I'm a loyal Dunkin's customer LOL). I guess I was just expecting more. However, I'd choose this place over Dunkin's just because I want to support a local business. Still have yet to try their coffee! Would come again if ever in the area.

    The donut was probably the most tender, fluffy, not overly sweet yeast donut that I've ever had.

I went with two scoops, black raspberry and brownie chocolate, and the brownie was killer. Rich, chocolatey, and totally worth standing outside in 30 degree weather to eat it. I devoured it without hesitation. There were so many great flavor options, and my friends all found something they loved too. It felt like one of those classic, must-stop dessert spots. Cold, delicious, and just the right amount of chaotic fun... it was wicked good.

There was plenty of seating inside and we had no trouble finding an open spot to sit down and enjoy our ice cream. There also wasn't a line which was really nice! My boyfriend got the mint chip in a waffle cone, and I got the salted caramel cookies n creme in a cup with sprinkles on it. While I do usually prefer my ice cream order to my boyfriends....i do have to admit that I liked his more. Don't skip the waffle cone like I did. Definitely a great stop to add to your day in boston! The flavors are always great, and there's seasonal flavors which rotate that are always fun to try.

We came for dinner and I got the turkey and brie sandwich. The brie melted in your mouth and paired perfectly with the crunchy vegetables and turkey in the sandwich. There was also a layer of fruit jam which created a salty sweet combination that was delicious. I also shared a warm custard bread pudding for dessert with a friend (be aware that you have to order this 30 minutes ahead as they bake it fresh!) which was so yummy - it was quite sweet but gooey and a lovely mixture of caramel flavors that paired nicely with the vanilla gelato. Prices are on the higher side but align with the attention that is paid to each plate! They have a super cute bookstore next to the cafe which is fun to browse. The set-up is within three stories of a house and the decor/design inside is very cozy - definitely worth checking out. On the third floor children's section there is a toy train that periodically circles the top of the room which is a fun touch too!

    Heartbreaking. The bookstore is exceptional. But the cafe is absurdly expensive and the male waiter…read morewalks the fine line on rude. The wonderful waitress, Sabrina, saved this from being a one star review. First the food. You pay $15 on the kids menu for literally a scrambled egg on an unbuttered piece of toast. Nothing else on the plate. The $24 breakfast is two scrambled eggs on white toast with a few cherry tomorrows on top and a side of small meatball-looking turkey sausages. I was shocked, but since I was with my child, I didn't want to say a thing. There is absolutely NOTHING on this menu worth the cost or experience. Also, they do not pour the tea and if you ask for milk (typically served with dark teas) the waiter gives you impatient side-eye. The cafe has everything, EVERYTHING which could really make it a spectacular experience, and I can say that I will never go again or recommend. Get a muffin and coffee/tea at Tatte or Flour Bakery and skip this cafe and go straight to the book store. The bookstore is a joy.
