    Iced Houijicha Latte
    Sahil P.

    This was a great popular stop that was on our way to the Freedom Trail. The service was quick despite the long lines, and I love that they take their time to make latte art despite the crowd and while having ordered to go. The drinks were delicious and I asked for extra hot, which was actually hot (this seldom happens at coffee shops). The ambiance is nice and it's a great stop for a morning coffee!

    Matcha Latte
    Ilana S.

    4.5/5 A really good matcha! Definitely on the pricier side coming in at more than $10 with tax and tip. Minus points because I didn't realize it was sweetened when I ordered and wasn't given a choice between sweetened or unsweetened.

    Houjicha Tea Latte ($10)
    Rachel S.

    This place has been on my list for a while because I've heard many good things, so I was glad to have the opportunity to try one of their drinks. I got the Houjicha latte with oat milk, and although the smallest size was over $10, the flavors were impeccable, earthy and not too sweet at all which is exactly what I was looking for. If it weren't for the cost, I'd be a regular, but it's worth the occasional splurge.

    I didn't love paying almost $10 for a hojicha latte, but I still have to give Ogawa credit where credit is due - that was one of the better hojicha lattes I've had! Nutty, rich, and just a little sweet, with a smooth taste from start to finish. Can't ask for much better. Like the menu, this location is quirky, with all sorts of seating arrangements, ranging from stadium seating benches to an elevated table near the front window. I opted for a regular stool at a regular table, and I was the odd cafe goer. But seriously, great drinks here, worth a splurge if you're looking for hojicha.

    Smoked Maple Latte
    Kana S.

    I got the iced smoked maple latte which was so delicious. It has the perfect balance between sweetness and smokiness. The inside is cutely decorated, perfect for coffee+reading, and staff is kind. Quick service for how busy they were!! I'm just visiting Boston but I would come back the next I'm here.

    Avocado toast with egg. So good!
    Shemesh Y.

    I do like this place. They make great hot drinks, and the food is always good too (pricy, but they are not cheap on the avocado, which is telling!). I went with a weird hojicama (or something like that) drink, and actually did not like it. But the avocado toast was lovely.

    Matcha Latte
    Kim H.

    I got their hot matcha latte, and it was great! The matcha was nice and the drink was not too sweet! I ended up adding some extra sugar because it was a cold day and I needed a little extra sugar boost. The staff was very friendly! Very trendy and interesting interior, with the seating being like tall stair-like ledges you can sit at, in addition to traditional table/bar seating. Nice place to sit and chat and enjoy a drink!

    Came here early in the morning for a nice cup of coffee. I am very impressed with their lattes! I got the seasonal speciality - peppermint mocha latte I believe it was called. It was super delicious and smooth. The latte art is so pretty. It was very calm and peaceful in the morning. Not crowded at all. Service was good.

    Very cute coffee shop with very nice staff! Interior is very cozy and there is a good amount of space as well! The matcha is definitelyyyyy worth getting and I got the cheddar croissant randomly, but it was SO good (obviously get it warmed!). Also love how they only play jazz or classical music, so if you're a book reader like me, it's perfect ambience noise! Very cute place and will be coming again to try something else from here soon :)

    We tried this unique coffee shop from Kyoto, Japan last year and couldn't wait to return! Return we did, making it to the spot 5 minutes before close on the last day of our visit! Last year, I could quickly double park right outside and run it but the logistics changed... This time I parked across the street in a tow away zone. All good! The staff were very gracious in making two lattes for my wonderful wife. I ordered one smoked maple like last year plus a new salted caramel pumpkin! She liked them both! Alicia helped secure the drinks to ensure I could carry them both across the store without spilling a drop! The latte art was exquisite so we got a nice picture before covering the drinks for the journey. Thank you Alicia for your kind, friendly and professional service! We look forward to returning next time we are within an hour or two of Boston! Life is good with excellent unique coffee!

    Waited in line for about 15 minutes at Ogawa Coffee, and honestly it was completely worth it. This was the best coffee I've had in a while. I got an iced americano and a hojicha latte, and both were excellent. The americano was smooth, bold, and not bitter at all, but the real surprise was the hojicha latte! The hojicha flavor actually came through, which never happens at most coffee shops. It was toasty, earthy, and so comforting without being overly sweet. If you don't mind a short wait and want really high-quality drinks, this spot is absolutely worth a stop. It's worth the 5 stars.

    This is strictly for their fresh orange juice and iced matcha latte. It's not too sweet or too bland, just right for my taste-bud. Menu is not complicated but the girl at the register seem rushed for me to order, even though I was not in line yet. I wish I have tried their Hojicha. My cousin got it for me from them to try at home but I have yet to master to make it at home. Next time when I'm in the area, I would give other drinks a try. Stadium benches on the side to wait for your drinks is a great use of the space while being able to sit many people. Bathroom was semi-clean but it's like the center of Boston. Cannot expect much. It's a solid matcha place; I just wouldn't go out of my way to come here unless I was craving coffee/matcha and happened to be in the area.

    Iced Houijicha Latte  Iced Smoked Maple Latte
    Justin P.

    Pros: Unique drinks and specialized coffee! Seasonal Drinks Nice Atmosphere Cons: Pricey Lacking in Flavor Better/ equal coffee/tea in other spots I got the Hojicha Iced Latte and the Seasonal Iced Maple Latte. Maple Latte: I liked the depth of the espresso shot and think overall it has a nice nutty, slightly chocolate, smooth feel. However I could taste no maple at all, but did get the thickness of the bacon and salt in there. I wish this was more Maple because I couldn't taste a hint in the drink. Overall the espresso came through very nice. Hojicha: Naturally sweet, nutty, nice roasted in depth matcha flavor. Good Hojicha! It was slightly chalky however. Poorly whisked. Just enough to be noticeable. This drink was pretty solid but again the prices are crazy. Overall: Decent drinks with not so decent prices. The prices are a bit wild, in both drinks the oat milk was an extra $1 I didn't get asked if I wanted it either or to sub it out, and with a cheap tip I left spending over $20 for both 16oz drinks. The atmosphere is a modern, cool, smooth vibe but there's quite a few people there and it's relatively busy.

Italian Sub: $20 for a foot long, the meat was so plentiful it's almost overflowing, enough for two meals. The prisciutto was tender and juicy; the salami was firm and savory with a strong smokiness. Both are thinly sliced, so despite the thick stack, it was relatively easy for a bite. The provolone cheese was also generously portioned, with a robust yet not spicy flavor and a subtle nutty aroma, perfectly complementing the two meats. The olive oil and balsamic vinegar were particularly outstanding: mellow, tangy, and with a fruity aroma of grapes, key to the complex flavor profile. The lettuce, tomatoes, and onions were all fresh, especially the onions were refreshing and a little zingy, perfect for removing the greasiness. Unfortunately, I was worried about not being able to roll it back up properly and making it inconvenient to carry (which it actually happened), so I took it away and ate it at the office. After about 40 minutes, the bread had become somewhat dry and hard.

I ordered a chicken salad on a croissant with pickles, onions, and lettuce and it was really good. The best part is you can pretty much build whatever sandwich you want- breakfast or lunch. They've also got plenty of drinks, chips, and treats to choose from. Service is crazy fast too. They had my order ready in no time. There's a small bar setup with a few stools and a couple of tiny tables, so you can sit and eat quickly, but I wouldn't rely on getting a seat if it's busy or if you're with a group. My custom sandwich was $10, which felt reasonable. They've been around for 32 years, which says a lot. Definitely one of those local spots worth supporting. I'll 100% be back. Highly recommend.

I still can't believe that I only just found out about the place despite frequenting the downtown area and working close by for nearly a decade. They're quick counter service and serve a few simple items for breakfast and lunch, mostly sandwiches. So far I've had the pastrami egg sub and the yahoo sandwich. They're both good, but I'd have to say the yahoo is the winner so far as far as the sandwiches go. You can order online, which is a big plus for me and it's very easy to customize items through the online ordering portal. I also happen to really like their iced coffee, too. It's nice to see that there are still simple, no frills spots that execute good tasing food at a reasonable price, and Archie's is definitely one of those spots.

I've eaten here before (it's a small area, but does have a lot of seating) but normally I get it as take out. The cafe itself is super casual, it's the perfect place to pop into during lunch or after a walk. My food is always ready on time which is nice, and when I've eaten there I'm usually able to find a seat. The spinach tortellini with the pesto cream sauce is my absolute favorite- it's a HUGE portion and so delicious. It usually lasts me at least 2 meals. The bread they include is also great! I like to dip it in the sauce. The past time I got Dino's I accidentally ordered spinach ravioli instead of tortellini...that was my bad. HOWEVER I think I might have found my new favorite? The raviolis are huge and so fat. I'm talking like 1/2 inch - 3/4 inch thick. There is so much stuffing and the spinach ricotta mix tastes so fresh and delicious...it's a must try. I've also gotten the eggplant parm before, and the fettuccini Alfredo. Both were also delicious. I've never had any of the sandwiches, but if they are anything like their pastas then I'm sure they are great! The bang for your buck here is also great which is nice. Highly recommend! Dinos is awesome! And the staff is very kind too (Note that the pic is taken from a train, I like to treat myself to Dino's before catching the Amtrak)

Was really looking forward to trying this place based on reviews so stoked when we found an open table.

Suffice to say, we left after being treated so poorly and found a family friendly restaurant that treated us more kindly.
