Boston’s Biggest Restaurant and Bar Openings to Know About, May 2025 | Eater Boston
"An Eastie outpost of the North End cafe that has opened in Orient Heights, bringing the original cafe’s familiar coffee and fare to a new neighborhood storefront." - Erika Adams
Open about 100 days by now in this location (North End location opened 35 years ago), this cafe serves a full bar of alcohol, coffee, pastries, gelato and baked goods until 11pm. Very clean and inviting layout and seating including a backyard patio. Good coffee and bites.

Great to have in East Boston. Nice space with a cute patio in the back. Love that martinis come in a smaller size so you can try several. The pistachio and tiramisu were my favorite martinis!

It’s a great little spot for drinks and pastries with family and friends. I love the amount of natural sunlight that this place gets. Friendly staff and fair prices. We are quickly becoming regulars here lol. Also love the fact that we don’t have to go all the way to the North End. I recommend stopping by to check it out.

Just went for drinks and a small bite after a huge lunch. It definitely hit the spot and would come here again. The drinks were great and the gelato, even better! We went towards the evening and it was pretty slow, the counter staff people were super nice and greeted us upon walking in and leaving. We didn’t try the food but maybe next time!

Great spot to watch the Colombia vs. Argentina game with friends! The atmosphere was lively, the paninis were delicious, and the espresso martinis were incredible. Definitely coming back!

This is such a nice spot! The drinks are spot on and the breakfast sandwiches were a nice touch. We can't wait to come back and try it out in the evening for an aperitif or nightcap. Beautiful interior and friendly and accommodating staff too. So happy to have a place like this in the neighborhood!

Have enjoyed this for a quick stop-in for coffee or espresso a few times. And as a long-time Eastie resident, we needed another quality café with good drinks. The owner (or manager?) is friendly and accommodating and seems to care for and train his staff quite well. Haven't tried food but the desserts look good!
The staff is kind and easygoing. Good parking available on street.
A patio is on the way out back!
They also have a nice sitting area in the back if you need quiet or a place to think or a place to work (yes wifi).
See you soon! Ciao!

The back patio is a wonderful place to have an espresso or a cocktail on hot day. Also, they have the best affogato around.
