This Pavement location has fantastic interior design , rotating original artwork, high ceilings , and options for study in your own space or at a large wooden table for six. Great coffee too!

Work/Study Experience - 4, Food & Service - 4. This coffee shop has an environment and layout suitable for getting work done. Can get difficult to find a seat at times. Good WIFI limited to 2 hours.

"Good for Work/Study" - 4 Stars, "Food & Service" - 4 Stars. The place is spacious with a good amount of seats available. Not too difficult to find seating at rush hour. Good food selection.

Aleksandra Pasek

Try the jalapeño cream cheese ! It's just the right amount of spicy and perfect with multigrain everything bagel .

Kostas Pelechrinis

Very nice coffee and environment. A good place to relax with friends or even get some work done!

Haley Moriarty

such a cute restaurant !! the coffee and bagels are great.

Jake Robinson

Single origin drip coffees and one of few places in Boston to get unburnt espresso . Locally roasted coffees , locally baked bread and bagels and loose leaf tea sourced though Somerville. Worth a trip!

Simmons College

A café where it isn’t completely frowned upon to work on your laptop for extended periods of time! The artsy vibe and unlimited Wi-Fi make it the perfect study spot .

Peter Lada

Bagel is decent and the sandwich list is interesting enough. Coffee is third wave but executed poorly, milk is scalded and the cappuccino had bubbles surfaced. Hipster by not hip enough.

Lm Karimi

Nice stuff, perfect sandwiches , warm enviroment...

Namhee Cho

All staffs at pavement are so friendly ! Try out the whole wheat bagel with scallion cream cheese and the drip coffee !

Olivia Yang

Tequila sunrise on an 8 grain bagel is to die for especially since there is that jalapeño kick in that cream cheese

Yarian Gómez

The Ike and Caramel Latte . All you need. Ask the person at the register what their favorite teas are. They're usually good.

Jeff Dlouhy

Update on my tip from 2009. Ten years ago. They no longer sell poppy seed bagels . RIP. ????

Isabella Keefe

Their hot chocolate is so good! It's a really good place to get homework done.

grace c

Love this place. Sandwiches and coffee always spot on!

Leigh M

The bagels here are unusually good. Try an 8-grain with the tofu jalapeño spread.

Murdo Connochie

The iced Spanish latte is now my favourite coffee .

Dan B

Awesome bagel sandwiches , and fun espresso drinks

Eric

Iced coffee is tasty with cream and sweetener. Brewed as double strength drip coffee .

Benjamin Doyle

Breakfast service is very slow. If you order multiple things, they begin to prepare them at the same time, so the ones that prepare faster are cold by the time everything is done.

EJL

Vanilla matte latte is a-mazing. I legit cannot find anywhere that mkes them this good! Sorry, starbucks

Liliya Khamatshina

Everything tasty & high-quality in this cafe

Jonathan C.

The Sahara sandwich and the Tequila Sunrise sandwich are both super effective at curing hangovers.

RIP tequila sunrise on jalapeño bagel . Their suggested alternative is not even close. Maybe just stick with a bagel and spread?

Daniel Tewfik

Get a Chia with veggie cream cheese on a whole wheat everything bagle. Untoasted. Delicious.

Natalie Dickinson

They discontinued "whole wheat everything " bagels ... Life = ruined

Maddie Simens

Spanish latte is everything.

Gianna Nebbia

This place has gone downhill. Used to love everything on the menu but now it's just lame and overpriced. They also tend to get orders wrong, I think I'm over it

Cristina Silva

Wasn't aware kiddie size was the default now for cold brew .

Nicholas Adam Owens

Hipsters come here in the morning then go to The Other Side at night.
