I've procrastinated a good 4 years on writing this review because I wanted to do it justice, so i might be a tad bias when i say: id like to give this place a 6/5 if i could. Like many other students, artists and academics on Mass Ave, i found a sort of second home in this place given the absurd amount of time i have spent here.
There is an air of productivity and a positive work or creative energy that pervades this place throughout the day, so if you are feeling a creative block or unmotivated to work at home, I'd make a sincere recommendation to come here instead regardless of if you want to get things done, get ideas or just want some time to yourself.
There is soft piano jazz playing all the time from some of the most niche artists I've ever heard, with plenty natural lighting in the day and scenery at night owing to glass walls and iconic location. Pair this with what is undoubtably the best Mocha in Boston and a really unique and delicious dessert menu, and you might understand why this place is the go to destination for so many people in the area. Given its popularity, location and originality, i would actually call this place a must visit landmark if you are coming to Boston. Its a unique experience that captures the essence of the city in a tiny cozy and picturesque corner in one of its most bustling parts.
A special shoutout to Marco, John and the rest of the staff, for being among the most kind and friendly hosts I've ever had over so many years.
