They have a variety of cold foam flavors for their drinks including: vanilla, salted caramel, matcha, strawberry, hazelnut, pistachio, ube, mango, and coconut My favorite drinks: Carmelista, dulce latte (made with condensed milk for a velvety texture), air matcha Favorite sandwiches: Chipotle (parm focaccia, creamy chipotle, chicken, spinach, tomato) Truffle passion (parm foccacia, roast beef, truffle sauce, carmelized onion, arugula, cheese) Complete with large seating, tall windows for sunlight, free wifi, and bathroom - this cafe has it all

On a weekday, there was little wait and plenty of seating. The selection of pastries was immense. The only downside is how loud it can get. I'm not sure if it's the tall ceilings or the music, but this is not a quiet cafe if you prefer that kind of atmosphere. I ordered the new corn and spinach shakshuka and was not disappointed. It had just the right amount of chili oil and some sliced tomatoes reminiscent of the traditional shakshuka. The zucchini was al dente and added the perfect crunch. The eggs were not poached nicely, which led to a messy appearance in the dish, but that was the only critique I had. It came with wheat sourdough which was perfectly grilled with butter and utterly delicious.

We wanted just a touch of tea, and happened one of the locations of Tatte Bakery & Cafe, the one on Summer Street near the Financial District. It's a rather large bright modern corner spot with huge windows facing both Summer and High streets. I am guessing around 25 seats at tables, another dozen or so at the coffee bars, more at a counter along the window. There were bright spring flowers outside, around 20 seats at tables, and maybe 10 Adirondack chairs. We got a simple black tea, with sugar and milk, and noticed that the tea is in more of an open-mesh net than a finely-woven tea bag. The tea was strong and rich with no bitterness. For a bit of lunch, we can't resist a traditional shakshuka. They say it's "North African" style: poached in a rich tomato sauce with bell peppers and onions, flavored with cumin and lightly spiced with chili. Lovely, dense, and satisfying. They have so many fresh pastries, we could not resist a creamy-textured halva muffin. A perfectly pleasant deIght to finish our tea. Tatte grew from a Boston farmers' markets to have many locations around Boston, and as far as Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC! We'll certainly keep an eye open in Annapolis and Rockville!

The vegetable frittata was delicious--fresh, satisfying, and a perfect light breakfast. We also shared a scone with fruit jam, which was very well made. Scones are highly subjective, but this one was exactly the style I enjoy: flavorful without being overly sweet. I didn't try the coffee myself, but my partner really enjoyed hers, which isn't surprising given Thinking Cup's reputation as one of Boston's standout coffee shops. Between the welcoming atmosphere, quality food, and excellent location on Newbury Street, I'd definitely return the next time I'm in Boston.

I hadn't been back home to Boston since before COVID, and there's something special about rediscovering your hometown while finding a place that instantly feels like it's always belonged in your life. I met owner Tracy, who opened the shop after I'd moved away. She told me how the business evolved through the post-pandemic years until becoming what it is today. She absolutely nailed it. The Bittersweet Shoppe feels like an extension of Tracy herself: warm, welcoming, and full of personality. The café has an almost Harry Potter charm of coziness, complete with what I dubbed the "first date corner," a tucked-away little seating area behind the dessert counter that practically begs for two people to fall in love over dessert and coffee. The menu is something I'd expect to find at a princess/unicorn party, complete with sandwiches, cakes, cookies, pastries, fried dough, specialty drinks...there's so much to choose from that if I came back every day to try something different, I'll still be here through next February. My sister ordered the iced coconut coffee. I went with a peanut butter-drizzled iced coffee that was so sinfully good I may have to stop by confession this weekend. The indoor seating is every bit as charming as the outdoor patio, making it one of those rare places where you genuinely want to linger instead of rushing off to your next stop. I had to fly back to Los Angeles today, but I'll be back home soon. And when I do, I already know where my first date will be.

My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I stopped by around 10am, and the place was jumping. The vibe in here (an important feature of a coffeehouse) is just truly excellent. It reminded me of an English cottage, though maybe at least that was partially due to the weather. It's very cozy with a lot of ye olde wood vibes, and quite a few horse homages throughout. This is pretty close to a few colleges so it's unsurprising that the vast majority of other patrons were clearly revving up before class or writing a paper or something. The one arguable knock to the interior is that the seating is pretty limited. We had to wait for our items, which ended up giving us time to wait for space to open up near the counter. There's also an outdoor area that had a lot of seating availability and could have been used in a pinch, but it never came to that. Honestly? Wouldn't change a thing. We got a few treats to ingest here. I was hankering for some carbs and went for bacon egg and cheese on a toasted everything bagel, which might be my naughty breakfast go-to going forward. It was delicious and really hit the spot. Just perfectly done. I also grabbed a lemon iced scone, which unfortunately I didn't have much of an appetite for after my bagel sandwich carnage, so I had to settle for nipping at it on our afternoon drive home. Was still excellent - love a good iced or sugar-encrusted scone, and this met the occasion. Moist and not too crumbly. To whet (and wet) the palate, I also got a strawberry latte, which was decent. I really respected the service here. The women behind the counter were pretty slammed throughout our visit, and I thought my chum was a LITTLE high maintenance during the ordering process, but they handled her with aplomb and didn't bat an eye when she belatedly created a second order after prematurely ending the first. They had a lot to do back there and nothing suffered as a result - clearly well managed and streamlined operation here. We also really liked the quotes on the walls. I don't know if all of the wall space was dedicated to it, but it was very prevalent in our area by the door/counter. Nice mixture of inspirational shizzle with some naughty Instagram handles. Really cool, special place.

Aside from the excellent environment, Farmer's Horse also has some excellent food and drinks that feel both homey and satisfying but also elevated and satisfying! For Boston, the prices are quite low as well, and you definitely get what you pay for. They have an assortment of tasty pastries as well as an impressively extensive menu considering the small space. As a california native, I was very impressed with their breakfast burrito and highly recommend it! It's not quite like how california does it, but it's pretty darn good in its own right. I love the simple yet fresh flavors, and it kept me full all day long for only $9 (w/ modifications)! This spot is a MUST try if you're looking for some calming and refreshing vibes or somewhere nice and relaxing to work!

There are seating options both outside and inside, but I didn't have trouble finding a place to sit & camp for about half an hour. Service was chill. You can tell they're used to customers being in awe of the aesthetic. I'm sure they're all used to being busy. One thing I appreciated is that no matter how busy the counter was, there was always someone around cleaning tables expeditiously for new visitors.
