First time visiting. Went on a Thursday night around 6 PM. I was craving tiramisu and I stopped by to get one from here. The tiramisu was very bland and you can tell from the first bite that it’s not fresh & its been days old. The cream & chocolate toppings on top of tiramisu itself is one of the worst I’ve tasted. I will not return and I do not recommend the tiramisu from here.
Stopped here to warm up on our walk through Boston’s North End. Although there are several locations throughout the city, this one felt like a local hangout, much less industrial in decor than your typical Starbuck’s or Pete’s, and featuring a plethora of tasty-looking baked goods. They also offered a variety of teas, which come served as bags steeped in personal teapots with accompanying cups and saucers. The herbal tea I ordered was quite good, and I enjoyed being able to pour out several cups that were still piping hot, one after the other.
Great place, nice and warm, larger than expected once you’re inside. Large variety of food, baked goods and coffee. Good place to meet a friend or get work done.
I was here 11 years ago with my husband. I immediately fell in love. This time around I brought my two adult sons. The food was amazing! The coffees were top notch. I don't know if I'll ever get to go back again - so thanks for the fond memories of a lovely coffee shop!
Great and very friendly staff. Karina took our order and was very attentive. Dustin made the drink order and it was great. I had an iced matcha 😋 Its a pretty big spot, if you are Boston it's a must stop!

Boston's cozy corner for artisanal coffee and fresh-baked delights.
