Zviad MetreveliAugust 23, 2019It’s a cool place and a classic to check out in Boston. But the food itself is average at best. Still a cool place to checkout at least once
If you are looking for a delicious caffeine beverage try the Almond Latte, one of the best in town hot or cold. (Sidebar: Jen makes them the best)
Sweet potato fries and the various sauces it comes with are to die for.
Caitlin O'HalloranMay 8, 2012They have amazing espresso drinks and there are always lots of people studying on their laptops.
Try the open-faced avocado & havarti dill sandwich. The Trident fries dominate regular fries.
- Don't go Weekend morning & afternoon (superbusy). Otherwise very comfortable place to study. Average food and drinks but a bit expensive. Open till midnight.
They have great programming! Check out the celebrity chefs and writers who have talks and demos at this great spot.
Manuel CortesMay 27, 2012I Just love it, and i miss it, and four sure ill recomend the lemon french toast
Order the mac and cheese! It has carrots, peas and ham and then crackers crumbled on top. So good!
Stephanie OrmeMarch 31, 2019Near place, but avoid on weekends. Between people browsing for books and the constant flow of wait staff serving food, there's no room to move about.
FahadOctober 4, 2014Not bad .. The concept is nice. The food is average. I tried the egg Benedict and pancakes .. Staff were very friendly. I would give it 6.5 out of 10
it's always nice when you find a place that will serve you breakfast food at 7pm
Great atmosphere, good breakfast, awesome sweet potato fries and dessert (try the delicious waffle supreme sundae!)
Anne McCarthyAugust 10, 2010Best sweet potato fries I've found in Boston. Also very helpful staff to help you find whatever book you're looking for.
Get the vegetarian momos. Half & Half. You won't be disappointed!
one of the few places on newbury st. open till midnight--take advantage of it! great breakfast food all day, too. free wi-fi, fast service, great atmosphere.
Adam SaiewitzSeptember 6, 2011Get the Morning Monte Cristo. Who knew eggs, breakfast meats, and preserves go so well together?
Jenn ZFebruary 1, 2012Try the ricotta-stuffed French toast - it's quite possibly the best thing I have ever eaten!
Thryll.comJanuary 12, 2012Oh the delicious white hot chocolate with whipped cream of course. And, free wifi thanks!

Amy ValentJune 5, 2015A little disappointed with the rating. Too much salt and pepper on my tofu scramble which I was probably the wrong thing to order but wanted something lighter. The service was very distracted.
Cozy atmosphere to read a book, get a delicious bite or work off free wifi! Love this place but I always leave with a fried smell that lasts the day.
Sandy WhittingtonSeptember 27, 2014Cool stuff (especially the postcards and journals) but the staff wasn't helpful and they all had attitude issues.
Franklin KnottsOctober 20, 2011Great place for breakfast & Lunch, free Wi-Fi and books make living in Back Bay better !
get the chamato sandwich with curry dipping sauce instead of ranch. so yum.
Best breakfast dish: brie & apple omelette; best dinner dish: pumpkin ravioli
Love their fresh juices and chocolate chip pancakes!
Olivia DiNucciFebruary 12, 2012Wheatgrass, sweet potato pancakes, and apple and Brie omelette are great !
