Caffe Ducali

Happy to check this one off my list of discovering new coffee shops in Boston. Conveniently a short walk away from North Station. Good mix of teas, coffee, and espresso options. I got the vanilla latte and it was perfectly sweet where I still taste the coffee. Will try the pastries and breakfast options next time!

Uninspired. The staff were not at all pleased to have a job. The gelato was pretty poor quality compared to other places. It was squarely average. I wouldn’t return if I could help it.

The young man at the counter was polite and cheerful. Received our food quickly, the bagel was nicely toasted, bacon crisp and egg was not runny. I added an expresso shot to the drip coffee to give it a little kick. We would definitely go back.

What a cute gem in the North End! Amazing coffee and even more amazing service. Their fall seasonal menu is exquisite! All the syrups are made in house so you can count on an authentic cup of coffee! Marina made our coffee and she was so sweet. Will definitely be coming back.

The pizzeria is by far the best restaurant we’ve been to on our trip so far - the “nachos italiano” specifically are amazing and very original, highly recommend! Staff were lovely and very attentive.

Cute spot for a quick coffee and something small to eat. The menu has a small list of available items but it is tasty for what it has. A few tables inside to dine in.

Staff was very friendly and attentive, we ordered the flatbread breakfast sandwich with eggs, cheddar cheese and pork, it was absolutely delicious. Blueberry muffin was fresh and tasty. Coffee was on point as well. Highly recommended. Thank you Caffe Ducali for adding this coffee section to the neighborhood.

I ordered a tea, and bagel with cream cheese. The cream cheese was only put on the bottom half and nothing on the top making it very dry. The milk was put into the tea before it brewed which made for hot milk rather than actual tea. There were no other customers in there so it wasn't as if they were busy. It felt like a "serve and get out" atmosphere.

The best way to describe this cafe is "inconsistent." It's great to find a friendly cafe that's open early in the North End with strong espresso. But depending who's behind the bar, your drink will vary. A "macchiato" on one day was the size of a latte. A "cortado" a week later was essentially a macchiato. Don't even think about disputing this with the barista. The prices listed on the board are not always what you pay, either. Most of the time, the coffee costs more. And the hours are wonky, depending on the day of the week. If you only visit once, you'll probably enjoy the coffee. Become a frequent customer and you'll start noticing the differences.

Amazing coffee, local pastries, fresh and delicious pizza, and friendly service. You couldn't ask for more!

Ordered a chi latte and bf ordered egg and cheese sandwich. My chi latte had no taste whatsoever. The only flavor the sandwich had was of a charred grill. Would not recommend
