Multiple locations, I’ve been to the Newbury Street and Harvard Square one. The Newbury one is a bit small, but the coffee options are really gooddddd
Pavement Coffeehouse - Newbury
Such a cute spot in Back Bay!! I think I only got their matcha when I went and it was really good. They have a lot of food options too. Def worth checking out!
Cafe Landwer
Very modern vibe and good work from home spot. Multiple locations, I find myself at the Back Bay or Harvard Square one a lot. Coffee and matcha is rlyyy good here, but can be expensive if you don’t have a capital one card for 50% off
Capital One Café
Hidden inside Concepts shoe store, this coffee shop is on the 3rd floor! Coffee is okay, but it’s a nice view of Newbury and cool that it’s a hidden gem!
Concepts Coffee
Downtown Crossing
A really good downtown spot! Also attached to the Godfrey hotel so there’s plenty of really nice seating. A good wfh spot as well - need to go back!
George Howell Coffee
A nice little spot in downtown, might be hard to find seating. Known for the matcha and latte art, it’s def a must try! In a prime location, so also a good shop to pick up coffee or matcha from and then walk around!
Ogawa Coffee
North End
There’s a few locations for this coffee shop, but I’ve only been to the North End one! The vibes are very cozy here which I love, and they have good sandwiches and coffee. There’s no wifi at this location so it’s not a great wfh spot!
Thinking Cup
Cute little shop in the North End. Very good affogato and coffee options. Keep in mind this place is cash only!!
Caffe Vittoria
South End
There’s a few locations, but I’ve only been to the South End one! This cute little coffee shop is known for their iced chocolate coffee and their chocolates. There isn’t a lot of indoor seating, but they do have some outdoor seating and the surroundi...

Maruichi Select
Only went for their sandwich bc I got matcha at Maruichi. It was rly good!!

Seaport
Very much known for their pastries and tiramasu latte! Cute little spot, I do think it’s a bit overhyped. Not a lot of seating
Lakon Paris Patisserie
Financial District
Known for their croissants!! They have rotating specialty croissants on weekends. Would def recommend the red velvet croissant, perfect amount of sweetness. The vibes are very cozy and homey, coffee is okay.
