    MOTW Coffee is amazing! MOTW stands for "Muslims of the World". It's a fast growing franchise, that was originally started by a couple in Indiana! Currently, this is their 2nd location in MA & has 20+ parking spots available to park. They have two entrances, front street entrance & parking lot back entrance. I tried the Caramel Avalanche & the Argentinian Chicken empanada! I got the coffee with oat milk (+$1.05), $7.80. It was quite strong & not too sweet. I can definitely see myself coming back for this. I love a good caramel coffee and I must say, they delivered a pretty good one! I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much from the Argentinian chicken empanada but OMG! It was actually chef's kiss! I got it with a side of their ancho chipotle sauce (+$0.50) and I was pleasantly surprised with the flavor & quality. So, they're already premade but they heat it up for you. It was SUPER flavorful on its own without the sauce & had a nice lil' kick to it. Highly recommend if you enjoy spice. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at MOTW & will likely be back (very soon)! It is a little pricey BUT their quality is what sets them apart. They are also open pretty late for a cafe in the area (until 9pm Mon-Thurs , 12am Fri & Sat), which is nice for if you've been looking for a place to go get some work done or simply looking for quality drinks & chill vibes. Unsure of the accuracy of the hours of operation for Sundays though. My first visit was on a Sunday evening, ~6pm, however, the hours posted said open until 6pm Sunday. Now, it says 8pm closing for Sunday 1 week later. Likely still trying to figure out their hours based on how busy they are which is understandable. Parking: free parking lot w/ 20+ spots!

    Got a small Yemeni chai and bacon, egg & cheese empanada, and a side of sriracha aioli sauce -- TASTE: 4/5 - loved the rich, tasty chai and comforting empanada, plus the savory sauce. Would come back to try their matcha and other lattes TEXTURE: 4/5 - the empanada was crisp on the outside and doughy on the inside w fluffy eggs PRICE: 4/5 - total came to less than $15 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - hit the spot for a weekend cafe run SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 10:45am on a Saturday and waited in line for only a few minutes; seemed to arrive right before a big rush thankfully! Order came out in less than 5 min ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - larger space than I expected w murals, lots of tables, and a couch lounge area. Appreciate the origin story of Muslims of the World (MOTW) and its larger purpose! PARKING: 5/5 - free parking lot on Bates Ave behind the building, w entrances through the parking lot and Willard St-side

    Nice cafe in west quincy! New building, parking lot for free on the back! Two entrances and spacious interior. Staff overall were nice and accommodating. They do have punch tickets for drinks so be sure to grab one with your order to get credit I believe 10th drink is free. Their empanada was so good. Now I'm not 100% it's made in house but if it's premade; they chose a great source for them. I ended up ordering 2 rounds of them today to finish the chipotle sauce we had. A bit pricier than other empanadas to be had around Boston, about $8-9 per. I wasnt disappointed though, meat was tender after being heated up, sauce combo worked well, and the wrap was flaky and light. Saw other parties having business meetings inside and could see this as a nice little meeting / studying / unwinding spot. They also have free wifi if your service sucks. Mine was fine. The back has a shelf of board games and things you could play. Will be back I'm assuming! See you next time.

    MOTW is a lovely addition to Quincy's cafe scene! They have trendy lattes & desserts that taste pretty good. I got their Pistachio Tres Leches which honestly didn't taste that much of pistachio (it tasted more like original tres leches). But the milk soak was delicious though. Their brown sugar shaken espresso had dashes of cinnamon which complimented the espresso nicely. Lattes are about $7 for one which is pretty normal for cafe pricing these days. Overall, I can definitely see myself coming back often. MOTW is great!

    Run! Don't walk! They finally have a location closer to the city! I have been here a couple of times since they opened. Their Yemeni chai is my go to, but their matcha drinks also don't disappoint. I have tried their strawberry matcha and also their mango matcha, they're all amazing! The service is fast, the place is always packed. Clean bathroom. My only wish is they start collab-ing with shawarma places for more heart savoury meals. Their food options are limited to sweet treats like their biscoff and pistachio cakes and empanadas. Free wifi, aesthetics, I could work from here all day! Don't forget to pick up their punch card! Note they have a parking lot in the back, but it fills up fast.

    From the moment you walk in, the aesthetics immediately captivate you. The large mural in the back and the one by the register are absolute showstoppers, and every detail throughout the space feels intentional and thoughtfully curated. The cashiers were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. But the real star of the show? The mango matcha latte -- give me 14 of them! Delicious is truly an understatement. It was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and honestly a game changer. I also ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese empanada, and it was so flavorful and satisfying. Everything tasted fresh and well-made. This is such a great café to work out of -- the music is calming and gives off spa-like vibes, making it easy to focus and relax at the same time. I already can't wait to go back!

    MOTW Coffee in Quincy just opened, and I'm already a huge fan. We first went for their $1 latte grand opening, and even though the line was long, it was 100% worth the wait. I've already been back three times in less than two weeks, which says everything. I usually avoid lattes because they tend to be overly creamy and milky, and I normally order flavored drinks with no sugar or just one pump. But here? Absolute perfection. I can order drinks exactly as they come, no modifications needed. The balance of coffee, milk (or dairy alternatives), and sweetness is spot-on. My favorite drinks so far are the matcha latte, biscoff latte, and English toffee latte -- all amazing. The food is also delicious. Standouts for me are the honeycomb bread, biscoff cake, and empanadas. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully crafted. The atmosphere is welcoming to everyone from all walks of life -- super clean, peaceful, and genuinely gives off a world peace vibe. It's also amazing that they're open late for night owls and those observing Ramadan, which is so thoughtful and inclusive. Be patient - service can be a bit slow right now as they are new. They're clearly still working out their system, and the staff is kind and hardworking. I wish they would switch their POS system to a sticker printing system like at boba shops instead of having to write on cups. That would help alot during peak business hours. Also worth mentioning is this location was opened by a group of siblings, and MOTW (stands for Muslims of the World) is Muslim-owned with a strong focus on philanthropy and giving back. While prices run slightly higher, knowing how much they donate to nonprofits, spread kindness, and even run generous promos like $1 lattes often makes it completely worth it. It's about time Muslims get the good PR they truly deserve! Highly recommend -- I'll definitely be a regular!

    Argentinian Chicken Empenada
    May H.

    The staff here are incredibly kind and welcoming, and the interior is beautifully decorated. The space has plenty of seating, making it a perfect spot to catch up with friends or get some work done. This was a much needed addition to Quincy. I visited two days in a row. Saturday morning was very busy, while Sunday afternoon was much calmer, but the wait was never too long. There is parking behind the building but it is limited and you may have to wait in the lot for a spot. I git the Yemeni Chai iced, but I think it would taste much better served hot. The ice may have watered it down a little. The Spanish latte was delicious, sweet and creamy. I believe this is one of their best sellers. The Biscoff latte was also rich and creamy, very thick almost like a mocha. The standout drink for us was the Caramel Avalanche, topped with a caramel milk foam that was perfectly sweet and paired beautifully with the coffee. We also tried the Argentinian chicken empanada, which had a generous amount of chicken and was well seasoned with great flavor throughout. They are handling the grand opening rush very well, and the business has not affected the quality of their drinks at all. I will definitely be coming here regularly. 10/10, highly recommend.

    Pistachio latte
    Kadie S.

    Empanadas were good -- egg & cheese and spinach and feta. Latte's were alright. Automatic machine is unfortunate to pull shots. Won't rush back but would go again if in the area.

    Small Iced Matcha Latte sweetened

    Do NOT get matcha here. Flavor and color is absolutely off. A lot of tables to chill inside with a parking lot behind the establishment that leads directly into the store.

    Entrance

    Cute little spot to chill and have coffee! The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating! The latte was strong and yummy the empanadas super delicious . Will be back again!

    The food and coffee was amazing. It is really good but it's just really expensive. I got the biggest size coffee and it's not that big

    I happen to pass by Pastry Land and it caught my eye. Pastry? That sounded good. And a quick…read moreglance at Yelp yielded a 4.5 star rating. Coming in, I first could see the individually portioned rectangles of cakes and viennoiseries. No prices. That's actually a pet peeve of mine, as I dislike needing to take up the attention of a employee just to ask what the price is of something, in case another customer is behind me. Next, to the left, I spied their various baklava type sweets. But we are trying to eat fewer sweets, so initially I thought this might just be a reconnaissance visit. Further along yielded some savories. I pointed at and asked for one apiece of their chicken phyllo triangle (chicken briwat - shredded spiced chicken with sweet onion), the spinach flatbread (spinach herb cheese), and semolina pancake (Golden Pancake). These were pretty good. And service was nice. The sweets I picked up on another visit were poofy, but the filling ratio a bit off. Averaging out to maybe 3.5 in my book?

    You know how when we were kids we thought [most] adults had it all figured out? Then, even as we…read moreapproach or surpass 30 we all realize: "I still don't know what the heck I'm doing half of the time." The same is true of me and my reviews. One would think a 1,000+ reviews in I'd gain some level of confidence! Yet, there are still reviews where I feel I am just winging it. Of course, I try to give my thoughts and opinions as best I can, still, I feel as though I were approaching 30 and can't believe I am technically an adult. This is the case with Pastry Land. I've been in here probably half a dozen times, and only now have I decided to put words on paper by wasting your time with irrelevant metaphors. ONWARDS! Pastry Land has great European style cakes and pastries. Their selection is wide and varied, and the quality is terrific! Everything I've had is distinct, scrumptious, and not over-sweet. Okay, great, so why four stars? Well, with the exception of a pistachio baklava square that knocked my socks off, I didn't find their goods were above and beyond sufficient as to drag me back with the same magnetism as Tatté or Flour (for e.g. - I know these are in different categories). They meet expectations, which is a solid four in my book. For some final notes: I feel that the value is fair in light of the quality. Also, the location itself is spacious, very clean, and the staff are friendly.
