    Saw this spot on a few videos and decided to start the day there. I got the cloud with matcha. Friendly service, tasty beverages. Each drink comes with the cutest little bag of brownie bites. Creative and refreshing beverages.

    Was in the area and needed a pick me up and decided on the matcha latte. Was pleasantly surprised and would definitely come back.

    I'm a strawberry match girl through and through but this mango was very good!! And the matcha cold foam on top was so thick and sweet very tasty 10/10

    Food Menu

    Wishing Cup is a community owned coffee shop near the Government Center T stop. The ambiance inside is serene, aesthetic, and wholesome. You can tell the owners built this with intention to be a pillar of stability in the area. There's plenty of seating indoors and it's a great place to get work done, go on a date, or hang out with friends to catch up. The service was super quick and the owner/baristas were sweet. They made good recommendations and answered questions. There's a wide variety of drinks on the menu. Each drink comes either in 16oz or 20oz, which is a lot, but is reasonably priced. The drinks also come with a brownie and are aesthetically displayed. We ordered 2 matchas and a coffee. The matchas were a little watery and the coffee wasn't sweet enough for my taste. However, I liked the vibe and energy in the cafe, so I didn't mind.

    very cute cafe! I was looking for a good nitro cold brew in the area and this one looked promising. service was quick and nice, so that was a plus! for the drink itself, it was a little expensive for what it was and the nitro wasn't as nitro-y as I wanted. also the cold foam turned chunky really quick and I was basically drinking butter... so skip the cold foam!!!! maybe the other drinks are better but I was disappointed in this coffee. they gave a cookie sample though so that was cutesy but not enough for me to like this drink :/

    Cute spot to get some work done and/or study. It's located in a very convenient area and downtown is a short walk away making it great to explore afterwards. I ordered the banana coffee and the savory egg bites and no complaints! I'm a huge fan of banana coffee right now & it didn't disappoint. It also came with a complimentary brownie bite. I will say however it was freezing, which I guess is a plus when you're needing a spot to cool down while enjoying a snack/drink break!

    Such a cute spot! I went up to Boston to specifically check it out and it didn't disappoint! Lauren helped us and she was wonderful---personable and able to help us pick menu items we would love. The sandwich was amazing---the bread was so good! Our dessert was great too! Both drinks were super tasty! I love how they are served with an itty bitty brownie! I loved that touch for sure! I loved being able to see how to make a wish as well. I wished for donating cat and dog food to a local animal shelter. Their choice of wishes are always so wonderful---can't to see which one wins February!

    The most perfect Carmel latte you'll have in Boston, and has a little treat on the side

    Air matcha (I put the lid on crooked, sorry. Also I already ate the free brownie)
    Bailey B.

    This place had a good amount of seating and a peaceful vibe in the morning. I got the air matcha which I thought was good. I wish I would've gotten the regular matcha because this one didn't have the strongest vanilla flavor. They do a program where they grant wishes once a month so my friend and I filled out a card. It seems they mostly grant wishes that also benefit the community which I thought was nice. The drinks came out quickly and baristas were helpful. The food was pretty expensive, so much so that I ended up not buying the pastry I wanted. A ham and cheese croissant was like $13? Maybe it was luxury ingredients but just be prepared for that. Overall the drink tasted good but I was a little put off by the food prices

    Wishing Cup is a cozy cafe located near Government Center that serves up tasty beverages, sandwiches, and treats, all while granting a wish once a month! Their concept of customers submitting a wish to get voted on through their Instagram and fulfilled is so unique. I love that they're purpose-driven and community-oriented! They've donated clothes to children without homes (which was my friend's wish!) and really are generous and caring. The actual food and drinks were terrific as well. I tried their strawberry matcha latte and peppermint latte (which were a little sweet), but they were pretty good. I loved their Truffle Passion sandwich; I find myself craving their Parmesan Foccaccia and truffle paste! Also, I'm a big sweet treat after a meal sorta gal, so I love that each drink comes with a brownie bite. The staff are super friendly too, so I really enjoyed my visit here. The shop itself was super clean with lots of seating. This is a great spot to work from home or catch up with friends! I'll be back soon to slowly try more of their menu; I'm particularly excited about their coffee! Definitely would recommend giving this spot a try!

    Air Matcha and Pecan Sticky Bun
    Deborah C.

    I heard about this spot from a friend so I decided to come on a Tuesday morning around 9:30am. The space is quite large with a lot of seating, and there were only a handful of other people when I got there. It seems like a good place to do work, as they have free wifi and a number of outlets (at least by the window seats). I originally chose a table by the bathroom, but I guess something unseemly happened in there because one of the employees sprayed a ton of Febreeze right next to my table so I had to move to a different spot further away to avoid the smell of both the bathroom and the Febreeze. I ordered a large iced Air Matcha and a pecan sticky bun. I really enjoyed the matcha, as it was the right amount of sweetness paired with a distinct matcha taste. The sticky bun tasted good but it was a little on the tough side. All the employees I interacted with were very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely come back to try out more drinks and give their food offerings another try.

    I love the atmosphere of this cafe! Their large windows let in such beautiful natural lighting and there's a large seating area perfect for getting some solo work done or enjoying some food and drinks with friends! Additionally, the pristine vibe and beautiful classical music in the background help complete the peaceful vibe. As for the service, they're kind and helpful and bring your order out to you quickly and carefully. Their plates are made beautifully, especially their matcha looks like a work of art! Though I'd say this place is a little overpriced even for Boston, it's a nice stop every once in a while. Their matchas are decadent and definitely on the sweet side. Also, their food is pretty tasty and they have a good variety of unique breakfast and lunch items. Overall, this is certainly a cute spot, very instagram worthy, and has a nice pristine, almost european energy that is both motivating and relaxing!

    The Dulce Latte and the Einspänner are sooo yummy. The Einspänner is perfectly less sweet.

I came here 4 times when in town for a conference, as this way super conveniently located to the conference center (Menino). It's open 7am-10pm daily, is always seemingly busy but always very efficient and fast to deliver orders, and has a huge amount of comfortable seating. First visit: I tried the vegan breakfast burrito ($12), a nicely designed burrito with tofu, potato, spinach, roasted red peppers, vegan cheese, and mushrooms, served with salsa on the side. Very solid burrito. The Spanish burrito I tried another day--which came with vegan meatballs of some sort--was even better. Second visit: I got an açai bowl ($9 for the small size; $12 for regular), and added vegan protein powder ($2) blended in. It came with açai blended with almond milk, banana, strawberries, blueberries, and granola. Real good and plentiful even for the small size. Third visit: just ordered a bagel with vegan cream cheese that had tomato in it, and added some spinach on top ($5.50 total). Very generous spinach portion (for $0.50!), well-toasted bagel, and an appropriate amount of cream cheese. Very tasty. Moreover, each time I visited, I ordered a double espresso ($3.50), which was excellent. Proper espresso, deep body, strong, served with sparkling water and a piece of dark chocolate.

The prices are amazing for what you get :D The menu here is HUGE and has tons of options for customization. There are wraps, salads, smoothies, sandwiches, bowls, drinks - so many items to choose from! This place is located in the lobby of the Amazon Seaport Office. I got a Spicy Greek Breakfast Wrap ($13, +$1.50 for egg white sub) and a Santorini Sunrise Yogurt Bowl ($12). The portions are gigantic and the food is fresh. The Platters, both the breakfast and mezze are gorgeous. Pictures attached. The interior has ample seating and is bright and beautiful. They also prep your food impressively quickly given how many orders they seem to get! They get BUSY but I get why - the food is so good.

For takeout, I got a mango mousse (nicely tart), a crème brûlée kouign-amann, and a rose raspberry bowtie. Everything tasted delicious--just the right amount of sweetness, not overly sweet at all. On the second day, I ordered takeout again: an almond croissant, a rocket pop pain suisse, and the crème brûlée kouign-amann once more. ​Anne was polite, super friendly, and very helpful with menu recommendations.

The banana tastes nicely sweet and fresh, creamed with miso adding that hint of savory goodness and topped with caramel. The croissant was beautifully flakey, buttery. Altogether they make for a really refreshing treat, it's not too sweet, which, as we all know, is the highest form of compliment a treat can be! Upon walking in the shop I was greeted by several staff (in a graceful, friendly, not over the top way) which is lovely for a morning vibe where I'm still yet to get my caffeine fix. Just the right amount of love and jolly. I sat outside by the park/plaza to enjoy a nice morning with my coffee and this pastry. Excellent addition to the neighborhood!

First of all, the pastry case just beautifully displays all the baked goods. It's quite a sight to see! I love the variety and flavors, very unique. If you know what you want, gotta get in line and grab it quick! If you wanna put in your own order, you can use the kiosk, which is really fun to use. I ordered a chai with oat milk (it's very light in flavor) and got a bialy. Honestly I had not had a bialy in over 25+ years... and was surprised to see it in the case and I had to have it. A corn + cheddar bialy. It did NOT disappoint. I also got london fog with oat milk previously, also very nice, but this place was soooo good we had to come back. My daughter loves pop tarts so when she saw it in the case, she got a blueberry pop tart and said it was very flakey and the jam was very jamful. It was the-last-one, even had the sign stuck in it!! She also got the french toast (2 slices) with kid's milk and said it was the best french toast she's ever had. My sis got a chocolate pain suisse, which I had never seen before. It's basically brioche filled with pastry cream and chocolate. It looked delicious and with coffee, my sis ate the whole thing up. All in all, this place has so much delicious eats.. I can understand if you live here, you could come every morning and still not get to everything in the pastry case! Definitely be back if we're in the Boston area again.

They have a lot of delicious looking pastries, sandwiches, and salads, and a large drink menu. My friend purchased a coffee and we shared a Tuscan Turkey baguette. The baguette was a bit hard but good overall. This is a great place for a quick breakfast or lunch. I like their variety of offerings, the service is good, and the ambiance is a big plus too!!

WELL, I was downtown early today and got to try their matcha latte. I was torn between getting hot or iced but I went with hot with oatmilk. It was so goood. You can taste the high quality of the matcha. There was a line to the door and was moving a little slow but the turn around time of service was quick once I placed my order. I sat down on the wall steps (not sure of the correct name) while I waited. I was in awe when I saw the latte art. Small cafe but has choices of seating options to sit. There's tables with chairs, a bar seating to the back and the wall steps. I noticed someone ahead of me in the line brought her own reusable tumbler and I like that the cafe supports sustainability in that way. I didn't see whether they made her drink order in the tumbler or they made it first then poured it into her tumbler. Anyway, good to know if you like to reduce waste.
