Ryan NixonDecember 15, 2016Mango, sausage and feta on a bagel with Vietnamese style coffee, definitely unique. They have more standard breakfast fare, but a great place to get weird!

thoughtbotSeptember 12, 2011Awesome place for morning meetings, especially for those who are driving. There's always parking right outside. It's also a little more secluded than the other Kendall/Centrall/Harvard coffee shops.Upvote2Downvote
Erkan SakaFebruary 2, 2019There is enough space, you will probably find a spot with a plug. My days in Boston did not start well but my stay in this cafe made me happy.UpvoteDownvote
Stacy Bo BacyMarch 14, 2019Best breakfast sandwich I’ve had in Boston. Iced coffee was very good too!

Best chai latte (iced or hot) in all the land. Most bad ass study place of all time with amazing internet. Get the avocado stuffed croissants- it will change your lifeUpvoteDownvote
Drip coffee is ok; espresso is just Illy, but they don't make it right so get a milk drink. But this place is great for 1) totally awesome work/study atmosphere, and 2) breakfast sandwiches.UpvoteDownvote
Skip the food, it's mediocre -- but the chai tea lattes are delicious, and it's the best place I've found in the area to get work done. (Free wifi!)UpvoteDownvote
The croissants are awesome, especially when they're toasted in the panini grill. Favorite so far is egg, feta and spinach.UpvoteDownvote
Carrie BevisApril 12, 2015Vietnamese coffee and board games found here! Great place to study or catch up.UpvoteDownvote- They changed the wifi: spend less than $5 you get 1 hour of free wifi access; $5+ and you get 3 hours. I guess I'll be headed to Simon's Too down the street when I work remotely from now on.UpvoteDownvote
The Cruffin (croissant + muffin) is amazing. Ask the warm it up a little bit.UpvoteDownvote
It's not on the menu, but get the Shakey Elvis smoothie: banana, peanut butter, mocha, soy milk and espresso. It's amazing.UpvoteDownvote

Diane YangAugust 24, 2013Pretty impressed with the chai tea latte here, and trust me--I have been scouring this town for good chai tea lattes.Upvote2Downvote

Lots of outlets, wifi is on, and yes you need a pistachio muffin.UpvoteDownvote
Some of the best iced coffee I have ever had.UpvoteDownvote
Jeanette MukaiNovember 10, 2012Breakfast sandwiches cost $5.00 on average. Although they taste good, it's too pricey for a microwaved egg on a supermarket (Lenders? Thomas?) bagel.Upvote2Downvote
