I got the drip coffee and it was very smooth. They pour light roasts well ! The baristas were very friendly . They'll address you by name when they serve your drink. The indoor patio has great lighting!

MUST try their homemade hazelnut latte - hot or iced! It reminds me of a ferrero rocher , just without all the added sweetness! It's extremely good!

Render does pourovers right, and they usually offer an option from Tandem Coffee Roasters in Portland, ME, one of New England's best coffee roasters . Get the Tandem pourover every time.

Tim Gibeau

From lattes to pour-overs to cold brews , Render does it better than everyone else. Never bitter, always delicious. Plan on spending at least 5 minutes waiting, but it's well worth it.

Manuela McDanal

Coffee is amazing and the make your own breakfast sandwiches too!! Very nice and cozy ambiance

Julia MacDonald

I had the hot chocolate the other day and it was the best cup ive ever had!! Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is warm and inviting.

Render Coffee serves a wide variety of direct trade coffee that packs amazing flavor. They also exclusively serve it pour-over style, so it's fun to watch them prepare your cup of joe!

Legit bagels . Try the jalapeno cream cheese ! Hazelnut latte flavor is made in house but it's a bit weird and grainy.

Deskplore

Work/Study Experience - 4, Food & Service - 4. Nice Coffee shop serving good coffee & tea and tasty sandwiches . Great Service, reliable WIFI and plenty of power outlets available.

Keshav

It's serendipitous find, tucked in the corner with jazz in the background and amazing selection of coffees . Personalized sandwiches will hit the spot! 9/10 I say

(Best of Boston 2013-COFFEE) Improper Bostonian says, "The Golondria has notes of caramel and chocolate , it's closest to a dark roast . The Finca Nueva Armenia is a little nutty, more light bodied."

Moushumi Chaudhury

Lovely neighborhood cafe with a calm atmosphere . Sit in the atrium area in the back of you can, which gives you a lot of light and greenery .

Sahil Kathawala

Pour-over's well worth the wait. Really beautiful space with lots of natural light , an outdoor patio and free WiFi (pw: coffeetime )

Nicholas

One of Boston's true boutique coffee shops . They serve Counter Culture (NC based roaster). Try Barismo for a Massachusetts based cup of joe.

Youssof Mal

Possibly the best coffee in Boston. I'm not a fan of hazelnut flavored coffee , but they're homemade flavoring is divine, a must try.

Lee W

Always a great selection of beans. Worth the walk if you are near Symphony Hall or Berklee.

Elza Lambergs

This is my favorite cafe . The trees and the breeze on the back patio along with good coffee makes for a perfect spot.

Brendon Smith

Nice South End spot serving coffee from Tandem and Counter Culture . Slow down and enjoy a pour-over.

John Koen

Currently beans by Tandem and Gracenote, excellent flavor, very nice space

Celeste M.

Great coffee and awesome employees! So far best coffee place I've been to on this trip.

Soxinly

Great coffee ! 5 different kinds of milk ! Pretty hardcore even with west coast standard.

Michael Brady

The best coffee I've had in Boston. The elevated outdoor seating area is a big plus. The veggie wrap was underwhelming but my friend's quiche looked nice, although I didn't taste it.

Alex Shuck

Excellent coffee , breakfast sandwich is one of the best in the South End. New wifi password is "password"

Jane Bulnes-Fowles

Espresso Royale vet Chris and wife Ali have created a little slice of coffee heaven. Grab a seat in the solarium and relax.

Charlene

Family friendly establishment, friendly staff , and excellent customer service. Delicious egg sandwich on 7-grain!

Keri Garel

The malted cold brew and the gorgeous indoor/outdoor patio make Render Coffee damn near perfect.

Eddie Howard

From 7am to 10am they have one of their coffees available in large batches. Perfect when you don't have time to wait for the single cup pour over coffee .

Xavier

Great overpriced coffee ! But the patio inside it is awesome!

Candace Blydenburgh

Try a regular cup of coffee - it is so good that I drank it without cream or sugar and Ihave not done that in 20 years!

Daniel Tewfik

Hidden patio in the back. Great coffee in the front.

Jeremy Burns

Good luck finding a place to sit with the laptop army occupying all the tables. Please install some standing-only countertops so patrons can eat!

Sofia Papastamelos

One of the best coffee shops in the city . Grab yourself a pour over !

Joe Montes

Beautiful, cute little cafe . Super cozy and the drinks are great.

Violetta Genova Snurnikov

Great coffee place with unique patio ☺️☺️

Gianna Nebbia

I don't love their coffee but I think that's more of a me problem-It has a bold aftertaste. They're just the nicest workers!

Seahee Park

I visited here from NYC. Absolutely LOVE everything about this cafe !!!! Best coffee shop I have ever been to.

Sara Taylor

Their iced coffee is delicious. It is also a lovely light filled space to work in.

Joel F

Great coffee , great food, fast wifi , and an open environment. I really like this place.

Kyle Bye

The homemade hazelnut latte is the bomb.com!

Andrew Parker

Best coffee in Boston. But it's 4 minute pour over , so be prepared to wait. They use Counter Culture beans.

Emrecan D

Great coffee , relaxed atmosphere ! All that one can possibly ask from a coffee shop !

Matt Connolly

By no means the fastest service in town but it's worth it for the breakfast sandwiches .

Danielle

Great little coffee spot with delicious coffee and food. Get the hazelnut latte !

Charlie Wills

Great people and very welcoming to their shop. Will visit again.

Shab

Hazelnut latte with almond milk . Basically a Ferrero Roche in latte form. SO GOOOOODDDDD

Kristin Walker

Hazelnut latte , house made syrup . I got it iced... Yum

Greatest bagels in the area! Great art on the walls too!

The best coffee and cafe in the Boston area. Hands down.
