While visiting Boston, we went on a late night hunt for dessert and ended up at JP Licks purely…read morebecause the name made us laugh. Turns out, it absolutely lived up to the hype. 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.

Stopped here for ice cream the other day! I love the location of this JP licks, it's the perfect…read morespot to hit after an esplanade sunset. 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.

I'm SO happy this blank street reopened! It is beautiful inside, the coffee is amazing, and the…read morestaff are extremely friendly. I got my coffee right away, could not say better things about this blank street!

We went for a matcha as this is convenient (across the street) to the MGH campus. The spartan,…read moremodern look shows a limited menu of drinks and baked goods. But it's not blank. What they do, they do well! The matcha had an initial flavor of cinnamon with a strong vanilla flavor throughout. The service was quick and polite. If you need to sit, there are some padded seating areas without tables, so no hanging out and working. If you know what you want, this is a good place to get a coffee or matcha.

Came here for a quick lunch and it did not disappoint! The chicken in my sandwich was cooked…read moreperfectly and had a great sauce on it. The milk bun as the bread was also a nice touch. 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.

Went out this morning in the snow for a nice coffee and pastry to take in some fresh air and…read moredecided on flour bakery + cafe. 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).

I had to check out this trendy, aesthetic café while I was visiting Boston. It lives up to the…read morehype. Since it was a pretty humid that day, I ordered the iced black sesame latte along with the pistachio tart. The sesame latte was one of the most unique lattes I've ever had. The pistachio tart had the perfect balance of nuttiness and sweetness without being overpowering, the coffee and pastry were basically a meal on their own and very filling. This Charles St location is on the smaller side, but the sidewalk patio is such has a beautiful vibe with influencers filming content and people reading books with their coffee and pastry. It's directly across from the iconic Beacon Hill Books & Cafe, making it a perfect stop while exploring Beacon Hill. Service is self-serve, but everything was quick and efficient, and we didn't have to wait in any long lines. Overall, 10/10 vibes. I'd absolutely come back just for the latte + vibes.

One of the largest Tatte's I've seen. It's a clean, brightly lit cafe/restaurant with plenty of…read moreindoor and outdoor seating. Service is very quick and there's self-serve utensils and water stations. Great for a work/study session, though I'd imagine it gets pretty loud when busy. I'd recommend the orange upside-down cake, raspberry cloud, Kouign-amann, or any of the coolers. The short rib panini is also excellent too. Prices are very fair. One downside to this particular Tatte is that despite its size, it only has one bathroom, so you might be waiting in line for a while.

I really like this Thinking Cup on Newbury St. It's got that cozy, quaint feeling. The coffee is…read morealways good and the baked goods are great. They have one of the best almond croissants anywhere. To the review bashing this place for a ban mi sandwich try going to a Vietnamese place. Who gets a Vietnamese sandowdy at a Cafe???? To the other reviewer complaining about Wi-Fi, seriously? You give a place 1 star for that? Ignore the bad reviews please. This place is a gem. Staff is alwyas friendly. It does get very busy so plan accordingly. I enjoy going first thing in the morning when it's quiet before the hell of work begins. Arrivaderci!

I'm "Thinking" this place used a K-cup twice to brew our coffee. Watered down. It's hard to imagine…read morecoffee being literally flavorless - but they somehow managed to accomplish this. As a bonus, I had the (mis)fortune of trying one of the hot chocolates we ordered for the kids - and their review "dad, this kind of taste like foam without sugar" was spot on. You can literally see three other coffee shops from the front door of this place - choose one of them. Now, all of that being said, they have somehow managed to generate a loyal following. I went in around 1PM and the place was literally PACKED! Not sure what the 100+ people there were having - but they were camped out, laptops in hand, having extended social hours with cups in front of them. Maybe it's the ambiance, maybe the wifi is ridiculously fast, maybe the food is better....not sure - but there is absolutely no way these people were there for the coffee (or hot chocolate).

As we walked in, we were met with the great aroma of coffee and baked goods. The place was very busy and there were a lot of staff moving around and customers having conversations or in line to order take out. We sat in a separate area downstairs and we were the only guests there. It was somewhat dark but it was private and there were bathrooms downstairs. We tried their tiramisu that was one of the bests I've ever tried. We also ordered their pistachio martini that was a super treat as it also had pistachio gelato. Their cappuccino made me want a second one. I am coming back to this place next time that I visit the North End!
