Somehow this was my first time trying Blank Street! This location was conveniently located near my…read morehotel and wasn't too busy on a Tuesday morning. The interior was on the smaller side, brightly lit, with minimal decor. The staff members were friendly it seemed like they got a surprising amount of regulars, considering the shop is adjacent to North Station. I ordered a Cherry Glaze Cold Brew and a Croissant, and both items came out almost immediately. I genuinely impressed by the speed! The Croissant was expectedly solid but the Cherry Glaze Cold Brew was delicious! Most of the syrup was sitting at the bottom, which worked well because I was able to choose the sweetness level of my drink. The cherry flavor was so strong and tasty. Would happily return to try their other beverages!

I love Blank Street! I am huge on matcha and they have awesome matcha creations…read more I had the Shaken Vanilla Bean Matcha ($6.45), half sweet, and it was amazing. The interior is bright and cozy and the staff are so nice.

One of my favorite places to get coffee in the north end (technically west end, but it's close…read moreenough). The service is always pretty quick and there's never a wait either. That might be because of its location..it's kind of tucked away and the first time it took us a while to find. The easiest way to get there is to walk in to north station by the star market entrance, turn left and walk straight until you get to the doors and then walk through those and you'll see it (you'll pass Dunkin on the way). It's not what I would describe as a cozy coffee shop, it's the kind of place where you get your coffee and then leave. Now the drinks themselves.. The coffee cream/coffee ice cream is DELICIOUS. This was the first thing I ever tried and it blew me away. It is very heavy but so yummy. The latte affogato is also delicious, probably because they use that coffee cream in it! The Americano is great with any of the coffee blends. The Nutella latte is also one of my favorites, especially if you like Nutella. The gingerbread affogato was great too! This is a seasonal item I think but if it's there definitely try it! Everything here is so great, and the rotating specials make it very easy to want to keep going back and trying new ones. Highly recommend!

Brewery #409…read more Nightshift brewing is a cool place along the wharf just across the street from The Garden to get a few beers and a bite to eat. I ordered my usual flight, but they were out of stickers :( They had some unique beers amongst them one called Belgian Waffles which is a blonde ale with maple syrup and cinnamon. This was dessert or breakfast, depending on your perspective, in a glass. I also got a hazy IPA, a peanut butter stout, and a hefe. All were really good. For lunch I got some honey jerk wings. These were cooked to perfection. Crisp skin and juicy meat. The problem was the flavor. They had the honey but no jerk. There was no spice at all. They were still good, but they could have been great. Anyway, give me stickers and spice and I will give you that 5th star.

The only reason this is 4 stars was because I ended up spending g $21 for the latte and the pie, which plus a tip, felt a little excessive for a latte and a pastry. Granted, the mince pie ended up being really filling, so I'd say it was worth it. I will definitely come back here for special occasions!!

Very visually interesting, but the mozzarella was nice and warm, and the corn dog definitely hit the spot during the wait.

One of the many food and drink options located in Hub Hall near the TD Garden. Which before the…read moreconcert we attended you could tell everyone had the same idea to pop in and grab a bite or a drink. We had already eaten but wanted to grab a drink and couldn't pass up trying a bubble tea spot. So as you'd expect this review is solely for just drinks. Service wise we ordered from the little kiosk which worked well and allowed for plenty of customizing of your drink. That was a positive but also could be a quick way to make your price sky high with most additions being an extra dollar. They give you an order number that will be called when your order is ready. As we were waiting a worker did ask if we were waiting and for our order number and then they seemed to put a rush on making it and they apologized for the wait. Which honestly I did not think we had a long wait but appreciated the staff still. Overall the space for waiting is limited but won't hold that in a negative light since it's a food hall. I grabbed a Mango Fruit Tea with mango popping boba added while my wife got their toasted brown sugar milk tea. Both were pretty good but neither blew us away. My wife did not like the syrup in her brown sugar milk tea, had an odd flavor to it. Maybe we should have picked different drinks that would have impressed more. I would return to give some of their food a try in the future and more drinks though. Friendly staff with decent drinks and located in a very convenient location if you are visiting TD Garden.

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).

Would recommend this spot to anyone.

Hojicha is a roasted green tea with a similar creamy consistency as matcha, and is imported from Japan to Ogawa in Boston! Their matcha and hojicha lattes are truly, some of the best I've had in the city During the spring, they have their limited rose matcha latte which has a strong rose flavor for the floral tea lovers (little too strong for my tastebuds~) and during the Fall, they have their salted caramel pumpkin latte (which has a more mild pumpkin flavor in my opinion). They have a few different sandwiches and desserts on their menu, but I think their egg sandos made with their in-house shokupan are my favorite!!
