    The staff is super friendly and the ambience is is very nice for remote work. The drink I got was also quite tasty and well made. However, I will note that there are very few accessible plugs and the WiFi, though it listed full bars, did not work properly so I ended up having to connect to my own hot spot. So that is a consideration for if you are looking for a place to work, however everything else was lovely.

    Very lackluster filling on the spinach and ricotta croissants. Coffee is great, atmosphere too.

    Busy coffee shop but service was quick. There's a good amount of seating with wall to wall windows. The drinks were good, but the sandwiches were just okay. The hash browns were sad and soggy.

    Hot chocolate

    Hopped in here real quick to get out of the cold and was pleasantly surprised with the place! Very cozy looking, lots of what looks like students on laptops. You can tell locals frequent this spot. I got a hot chocolate and it was delicious. The staff were nice

    I needed a pick-me-up at work around downtown Boston and came across this cozy coffee shop. Many in the area are large chains (think Tatte or Caffè Nero) so it was a pleasant surprise to find something more local. I was particularly intrigued by their designation as a nonprofit coffee shop. Each month, they select a nonprofit to support, and these are often local charities. I really love that mission, and they really did seem to live it out through a few interactions I saw between staff and diverse community members who came in. It also appears to also be a faith-based organization, though I didn't notice any religious iconography in the store itself. I'm also very happy to report that I liked the coffee. I ordered a hot mocha, and I was impressed by how strong it was - both the coffee and the mocha flavor. I would definitely come back to support them!

    We stopped in here for a quick coffee while exploring Boston and had a nice experience. Although my drink, "The Well Mocha", was far too sweet (I'd recommend asking for 1/2 sweet if that's not your thing!), the group's consensus was that the coffee was good. The wait time for the drinks was reasonable, we were able to grab a standing table with no issues, and enjoyed our drinks for a few minutes before venturing back out into the city. There is a public restroom available in the back of the coffee house.

    While walking exploring Boston I came around this shop, and decided to make a quick stop since it was very cold. Let me tell you I tried tons of shops whole here and this has to be my favorite. I order a hot chocolate and my friend order a chai latte, and mocha latte, we were all very impressed it was delicious, we also had some of their pastries and were super good, the staff was super friendly and was very happy about it. I will definitely be coming back if I'm around the area cause it was the best I had while in Boston! Check it out

    Iced coffee
    Bryanna J.

    My friends and I had various iced coffees and lattes. It was yummy. enjoyed the hazelnut flavor. The New Orleans is a bit smoky but was enjoyable. Coffees a bit on the sweeter side so ask for half sweet if you prefer it. The service was quiet and the baristas were sweet!

    Super cute coffee shop that we found while visiting Boston!! The barista was so nice and gave good recommendations for us. Decided to get their iced mango green tea and wow so refreshing!!!! Will definitely come here again!

    We stumbled upon this coffeehouse while walking along the Freedom Trail. The crisp springtime air warranted for their hot Honey Lavender Latte advertised on the cute sign out front. It was served at the right temperature and perfectly made. The Lavender flavor wasn't too overpowering and the Honey sweetness was balanced without tasting overwhelmingly sweet which I enjoyed. The shop has an abundance of comfy seating to chat with friends or sit and people watch. The restroom requires a key so ask for it at the register.

    All stars are for the friendly service. No stars for two lousy lattes in a row. Alas, you can't go back to the well, at all....

Ingredients are super fresh and tasty. I LOVE the pressed juices, they are a bit up there in price but the bottles are reusuables and a good size. You can also have juices pressed to order which come out tasting so so good. The menu is expanssivee. So far, I am a huge fan of the pita, hummus, labneh, anything with meat (smash burgers and brisket breakfast sando), and they have pretty decent mac. I'm excited to continue eating my way through their options. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. The restaurant is bright and bubbling. The servers are very kind and always helpful with menu questions. It can get quite busy but service moves quick. I have ordered ahead and ordered in person and never had an issue. If you are in a rush around lunch definitely do yourself a favor and order ahead. If you have time, the wait is never usually more than 10-15 mins and goes by quick. Also sign up for seaport insider to rack up some points ;)

First time in the Seaport area and treated myself to my go-to smoked salmon sandwich at Tatte. I enjoyed the combo of the umami salmon, capers, and creamy sauce with their fluffy eggs, avocado, and crunchy microgreens. For seasonal items, the summer corn bisque was creamy with just the right amount of seasoning and dill. The corn has a crunch and sometimes more of a chewiness with the intact skin (which I can see how some people may not be a fan of but I liked the textural contrast.) I also got their rose cold foam with the pistachio latte. The cold foam actually featured a nice floral, rosy flavor that complemented the pistachio nuttiness. The house tatte latte is another reliable go-to favorite of mine! As usual staff were nice and friendly. Food came out at a reasonable time given how busy it was.

We ordered two iced lattes both with oat milk but the staff didn't take names or any way to identify when your drink was ready. When they called out a drink that matched one of the ones we ordered, we grabbed it and took a sip but new it wasn't oat milk and the barista confirmed that was whole milk and might have been someone else's order even after handing the drink to us. Once we solved that hiccup, the iced lattes were nothing memorable and the espresso used paled in terms of flavor. I really wanted to like this spot especially given it is tucked into a local bookshop right in the Seaport but this visit was just okay.
