First time here and I had the large matcha latte with oat milk (cold). It was quite tasty and I'm glad that it was not sweetened (the way it should be). The barista who took my order was 'cold' (she might had a long day or maybe she was tired of people asking for the rose matcha), let's give her the benefit of the doubt bc it was 3 pm and they close at 4 pm. The place is quite spacious and you can come and work with your laptop. There is free wifi and it's kind of quiet. I'll definitely come back in the morning and get coffee and their pastries. read more

Ogawa Coffee - Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I don't love their matcha as much as I used to. The lattes are always smooth, but the flavor has been lacking and not very strong. I don't feel that the product is worth the high price. read more

Great cafe to grab breakfast! I ordered the Smoked Maple Latte and a BLTE. Both were really good! The smoked maple latte was very smooth and creamy. Sweet yet a little savory. The flavor was light, but perfect paring for any sandwich or pastry. The BLTE sandwich was a great portion and I liked that it came with a side salad. I ended up having the second half for lunch, definitely better fresh though. The bread was soft and the chili mayo, egg, and bacon tasted great together. The bacon is not as crispy as bacon you would get from other breakfast spots. I came here when it was not very busy and really liked how the cafe was organized and decorated, however, can definitely see it being more crowded when its busy. Overall, would recommend this cafe! I will definitely be back to try the Iced Hojicha Latte! read more

I got a hot Cafe Mocha. Was hoping to get the cute cat or bear design that I saw in some of the Yelp pictures but got the standard design instead. It took a while for my drink to come out but thankfully I wasn't in a hurry. Communal seating inside with lots of natural lighting. read more

Item(s) ordered: 2x cappuccinos and 1x gluten-free banana muffin The Verdict: Heck yeah! The Review: Up front, I will go ahead and admit that the prices are higher than average. BUT, if you get what you pay for, I'm all for it. Ogawa SERVES. The latte art was wonderful. The milk was perfectly foamed and tasty. The espresso was smooth. Not to mention their heavenly gluten-free banana muffin, which they purchase from a vendor called Buttery. The interior is interesting and different from other cafés in the area. The staff were also very kind. Upon doing some independent research, apparently Ogawa is a Japanese-based company and this location is their first international venture. From seeing the options in-store, there are some beans from Japan, in addition to many options from across the globe. As a coffee maven (okay maybe not just coffee), it was a pleasure to have this unique café experience. I'm excited to be moving close by and spending all of my income at Ogawa :) read more

Very cute ambience with stairs to sit on like a stadium , interesting menu options and pretty crowded on Saturdays! They do have wifi here! They told us that that our coffee would take at least 30 mins to make and it did take that long indeed. The biggest highlight and thing to note here to be ready to shell out $10 for a smoked maple latte here tho. It's def good coffee but it did come as a surprise to me that it was so expensive! We went there when we were in downtown and on the freedom trail and felt like getting coffee to wake ourselves up! read more

A very cute coffee, tea shop. I ordered the Houjicha Latte with oat milk, OMG, it was so good. This is the best roasted green tea latte I have ever had. It's was rich and creamy with an earthy flavor. I could drink this all day. We also ordered the salmon bagel on an everything bagel and it was great. It had plenty of salmon and the bagel was toasted. Service was quick and friendly. I went back again the next day and ordered the Houjicha latte with oat milk. I wish they would bottle it. read more

I'm not a coffee drinker so I'm always eager to find good tea spots. The drinks themselves are very well made. The temperature is just right, the milk foam is one of the best I've had, and the tea flavor shines in the drink. The downfall of this place is the price, and the crowd on the weekend. It's tucked at the corner of downtown crossing and the financial district so it's not very convenient to get to unless you're already in the area. There is free wifi and many people working there but in my opinion, it would be way too crowded and loud for me to work. Also not a good place to sit and chat- again because of the large crowds. If you do happen to be there during a quieter time, I think it would be a cute study spot. read more

The coffee here is excellent! I enjoyed a smooth mocha. What really knocks it outta the park is the food. I had one of the best bacon, egg, and cheese bagels I've tasted!

Ogawa Coffee - Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I have very mixed feelings about this cafe - I think the drinks are delicious and authentic-tasting, but the prices and atmosphere are overwhelming. To be fair, visiting on an afternoon over the weekend is bound to be busy, but this little building just simply cannot hold the crowds. The line was nearly out the door when we arrived and after ordering, it took about 10 minutes for our drinks to be made. The staff were working diligently and were doing a great job preparing drinks and meals, but they could only do so much. The seating area here was also a bit strange.. we ended up finding a spot on these bleacher-like stairs, but it wasn't very comfortable. The matcha latte I ordered, along with a sticky bun, was delicious and tasted very fresh and authentic. The prices were definitely the highest I've seen in the area though... almost $10 for a single drink which I think is very steep. I don't think Ogawa is a great place for lounging around/relaxing at, but if you're looking for quality drinks you might want to check it out. read more

5 STARS for the Iced Houjicha Latte (Oat Milk)! First time I've had that type of latte & couldn't wait to come back. Other cafes' drinks doesn't compare (take that Cafe M_tcha Mai_o. It's a toasty dark tea taste (roasted green tea leaf). A bit similar undertones to Hong Kong-style Milk Tea tannins, but different... I MIGHT say that I like Houjicha Lattes better than Matcha Lattes! Only if they're from Ogawa Cafe.. Thought about ordering the powder from them online a few Holidays ago, and finally decided to invest $25 into the 20 serving package, when I was back in town. Service is actually pretty quick, considering how long their lines get. The space is small, the stadium step seating helps & theres 2 small tables/nooks even in their front bay windows. 2 individual bathrooms in the back. I wouldn't say that this is a place to co-work in, seems way too busy. But there were people on laptops there. It's not too far from a few tourist sites - good for tourists to enjoy a GOOD coffee I guess! read more

Was craving matcha on this cloudy and cold day, so went to Ogawa since it's known to be so good Great vibes inside, it's a bit tight for more than two people, but my friend and I found a seat at a table (the bench area looked cute but felt too dangerous for mugs full of liquid), good space to talk or work or do general cafe things! The actual matcha itself was a slight let down, the matcha flavor was pretty subtle and also tasted maybe more earthy than other matchas I've had? On top of that it was $9 after tip and tax, so felt not value. But I've been here before once and remember really loving the Hojicha I got, so still 4 stars! Maybe the matcha was just a one off experience :') read more

Ogawa Coffee - Matcha Latte, croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

One of the best coffee shops in Boston. I enjoy their variations of matcha lattes a lot. It's hard to find a spot to sit down since it's almost always packed. If you are lucky and find seating, I suggest trying their menu as well but other than that, this place is more of a grab and go kind of coffee shop! read more

Food and drinks were pretty good, we came visiting Boston and they have a nice selection of coffee. The interior is nice and modern but there is limited seating. Drinks and food were prepared fresh! I got the smoked salmon bagel and hojicha latte. The bagel was really good, and the hojicha was also excellent! The roast could really be tasted on the matcha, the only thing is the drink is a little small. We were a little disappointed because we saw they had ice cream, matcha roll cake, and a rose matcha latte from other reviews, but it seems these are all seasonal. Still great food, and good lattes if you are looking for a specific coffee. Just not necessarily a place that offers something special, as you can get most of the items at other places. Service is good, they make things fresh and you order at the front and find a place to sit. I would recommend if you love coffee, matcha, or tea drinks! The smoked salmon bagel was also good, but you can find them in other places too. read more

Came here for some coffee and Wi-Fi and Ogawa delivered! Their menu includes roasted coffee beans from Japan and they take their coffee seriously as "coffee artisans." Upon request I think they do designs, but honestly I was just happy to enjoy a damn good latte. The service is friendly and although there's a steady line of people, they are incredibly quick with orders. There's a decent amount of tables and an interesting set of bleacher seating as well. I'd definitely recommend if you need a pick-me-up in the area and I'll definitely be back to try the other menu items! read more

It was okay. Colleague and I went 16 minutes before closing and the person at the register seemed annoyed or was ready to go home. Those who were cleaning up were nice telling folks they were closing soon. The cortado tasted alright - nothing special but appreciated the decoration of the flower with the milk by the barista. read more

On Saturday late morning, this place was packed! There wasn't any seating available but the service for to-go was still very fast.

We both enjoyed our morning treats! read more

Amazing experience! Food, service and ambiance were great. Best Coffee and bagels I ever had.

I have been eyeing their hot latte drinks because I kept seeing the latte art. Stopped in after having brunch and decided to get iced matcha lattes instead since it was so hot outside, to cool down. It was pretty busy inside, with a bunch of people sitting, waiting for their drinks. Took about 10 minutes or so for our drinks to be ready. The iced matcha lattes had strong flavor and are definitely worth getting. Next time, I do want to try other drinks that they have, but so far, it's a thumbs up from me! read more

Ahhhh Hojicha is my favorite tea drink EVER, but it's not easy to come across in general-- this place's Hojicha was 11/10, super on point with the flavors... I also don't usually buy drinks like coffee or tea out but this was WORTH it for sure (once in a while, haha). I got regular skim milk b/c if I added almond or oat milk it would've cost me $9 (not worth the extra $ lol, I'll do skim milk for the day). Drinks were really fast too-- I have been wanting to try this place for a while :) read more

Ogawa Coffee - Rose Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Popular, cute coffee shop that I finally had the chance to try on a rainy Sunday recently. The place was packed when we dropped in in the afternoon - it was just fortunate that a table happened to clear as we were queuing. There is a bleacher-like section in the back that was crowded and seemed rather uncomfortable to me. We ordered a matcha latte and a matcha rose latte. The lattes were both very fragrant - rich, pure matcha flavour that was a wonderful warm treat. The rose flavour was a nice addition, although I will admit I am not the biggest fan of the rose x tea flavour combination. I quite enjoyed our drinks. However, I did find prices to be rather steep ($6.75/$7.00) and I'm not sure that the drinks themselves were worth it. They have a decent variety of food options that I hear are quite good so I might give those a try if I come back. read more

A great place to do work and catch up with friends. There's a couple tables and a staircase area to sit. The matcha latte is good and strong. I asked for mine a little sweeter and they made it just right. My drink came out quickly although there was a couple of people infront of me in line. The prices are a little more expensive as it was $9.10 for a medium iced matcha latte read more

Came here around 12:45pm on a Saturday and it was very lively. Managed to snag a seat at a shared table by the front, and observed people coming and going all throughout the afternoon. Ordered a matcha rose latte and it was wonderful. It only comes hot, which is my only gripe, as I prefer iced drinks. It comes out so beautifully that someone in line asked what drink I ordered. The space is bright and there's a variety of seating options. I'm not sure if there are outlets around, but it's a good place to read a book or catch up with a friend. read more

Ogawa Coffee - Houjicha Tea Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

One of the best coffee houses downtown. The coffee and food is impeccable. The service is second to none. When in the neighborhood stop in.

Most recent visits - I got a Gingerbread latte and an Eggnog latte. See pics. One is a hot drink one is cold. The gingerbread latte (hot) is good for the holiday season but it does have a unique taste that might not be for everyone. The eggnog latte (cold) is like a 10/10 in my opinion. This year it tastes better than last year or maybe it was just the person making it recently who did it so well. I could drink like 3 or 4 of those at one time. Quite addictive. If you like lattes in general, I think Ogawa seems to be the latte experts. read more

A Japanese-based coffee shop in Boston, this is the place to go. I got the coffee jelly malt with avocado toast. Both delicious; both aesthetically pleasing. Also a veggie quiche with a matcha rose latte. Finally, I had to finish it off with a matcha cake roll that came with coffee jelly, vanilla ice cream, and strawberries. Also, they gave free samples of their pour over which was also one of the best portable pour overs I ever had. Highly recommend this place. An outstanding option as I leave Boston. read more

Lovely Japanese cafe with great attention to detail. It's always packed, so it's best to come around 2-3PM when things finally slow down. Their Smoked Salmon bagel was absolutely delicious!
