Aaron Cecchini-Butler

Coffee and espresso beverages are excellent. The pastries are good. I love the granola . I hold an issue with any business that has a credit card minimum . Additionally there minimum is $10. No amex.

Coffee is good and baristas are nice. But between the covered power outlets and sterile atmosphere, you get the feeling they don't want you to stick around.

William Donahoe

This isn't a typical work/study coffee space. It's a real, traditional coffee shop where you meet people at, enjoy a book , or read a paper. Enjoy the time away from your screen!

Eric Stratton

Any drink here will be worth it. Great staff . If you're looking for more to nosh on, this may not be your place. Small food selection.

Nate Tassinari

They are very passionate about their coffee and it shows in the flavor and presentation. It's my favorite place!

kiran k

nice place, great coffee and baristas. however, huge negative- none of the electrical sockets work, on purpose. so... i plan on drinking my coffee and staring at my dead laptop instead.

Erwin Chuk

Order the iced coffee ...it's cold-brewed and the current offering is a duo of Ethiopian and Panamanian coffees bursting with berry goodness.

Sydney Trost

The coffee was good - I would go back for that alone. They use Barrington beans! But as a lot of these other tips say, there are no outlets , no wifi , no comfortable seating .

Rich D

Great staff and perfect capp with design. No outlets and limited WiFi , no problem! Easy workaround.

Annaliza aka Elle Ecrit

I dare you to walk in with a stack of Starbucks cups and try to order a grande bold. The snobby owner will surely refuse service if not kick you out entirely. Do it for kicks!

Lindsay Krell

Total coffee snobs and regular snobs, but they do make an insanely good cup of coffee . 5$ min on debit cards & 10$ min on credit.

David Wolski

Nice minimalistic design and hands down the best americano around!

Wahyd Vannoni

The cafe ' latte and macchiato are the best in New England. Avoid the hours between 8 and 10:30 am and early pm as it can get very busy... not willing to wait for a handcrafted coffe ? Go to starbucks

Chris Birch

$10 min for cards. (this equals an espresso , pour over , muffin , chocolate croissant , and mini chocolate , in case you were wondering. )

Best espresso in Brookline, but be aware they only serve triples.

Dave Turnbull

Quiet , eclectic and reasonably priced. Try the espresso . Wi fi is limited to 30 min, but tip the staff a few bucks and they won't mind if you're on for an hour or so

Erwin Chuk

There's free parking in the rear off of Washington St. A bit small but worth a look to avoid worrying about parking ticket happy Brookline.

Jenny Mackintosh

Forget Starbucks; this is where you want to get your coffee . Bright neighborhood joint with a good playlist.

David Wolski

Not meant to be your personal office space, which some seem to dislike. If you're not a barista and you think you can do productive work in a coffee shop , you must not have a real job.

Lorenzo Savona

Very good coffee from Barrington roasters!

George Wittenberg

Precisely made coffee in a sleek, modern setting.

Erwin Chuk

Current coffee offerings are posted on the website! Read more

Albert Wenger

Great pastries and excellent coffee !

Emily C.

Best espresso drinks in the Boston area.

Heather Wong

Great cafe au lait , free wifi ! (although they ask that you only connect for 30 mins at a time)

Jared Adler

Best coffee snob locale in Brookline. My favorite on the east coast.

Katie S.

I came at about 2:30 in the afternoon and ordered a coffee . The barista told me he wasn't making any more drip coffee for the day. I thought this was really weird. He seemed apologetic though.

Evan Falchuk

Coffee looks awesome....but with a minimum $10 on a credit or debit card they're ok with not serving it to you if you have no cash.

Rita

#coffee - any kind

Karalyn Bere

Try the guest espresso in your latte !

Kruti Parekh

Favorite iced mochas ! Made with so much love and so pretty!

Greg

Awful service. Two trips in two weeks. Both times couldn't get a drink. Once for not meeting the $10 minimum on a cc when I ordered $8. Once ordered an americano and waited 30min w 1 order ahead of me

Nicky McCatty

If you like good espresso , made well from a manual machine, this place is for you. Good jazz , too.

Erwin Chuk

Non-Event organizes monthly concerts here! Read more

Justin Hayward

Wow, unreal espresso . Must try

Patricia

They "don't do flavor syrups " here. Prepare for a real caffeine high.

Bethany Slater

This cafe reminds me of Europe, bad service! The staff are kind but the owner belittles customers. Don't bring work here.The owner told me, "do you need directions to the library ?"

Sandy Cohen

Tastiest Iced Americano I've ever had!

Melissa Ouellette

The hot chocolate is amazing!

Javier Llamas

best coffee around brookline.

Chuck Tanowitz

Gotta love a place that plays actual vinyl records .

Jonathan Summey

French Press if Kenya Cru is well worth the wait

Scott Boni

I have not tasted better coffee in Boston.

Hanne

Best coffee on this side of the Atlantic. True story..

Aaron Cecchini-Butler

Also no wifi and no outlets . They do not want campers.
