A New Jamaica Plain Coffee Shop Sparks Protests Over Church Connection | Eater Boston

"A nonprofit coffee operation staffed by volunteers and connected to a local church, this coffee house bills itself as a volunteer-run, mission-oriented spot that aims to be a blessing to others; its original downtown Boston location has been open for nearly ten years and the team has since opened additional locations in East Boston and Everett." - Erika Adams

This is a great place. Amazing selection of coffee and related drinks. The coffee was incredible! Deep ritch flavors, with a great volume. The service was 10/10 friendly and quick! I have been to coffee shops all across the US and this one is definitely top 3 😁 come pay them a visit and try their cold brew. Also the wifi was very fast

Finally found the best gourmet coffee in Eastie! The cold brew and espresso are amazing, and the specialty coffee drinks are great. The service is friendly and the overall atmosphere is really nice. Plenty of space to come work or socialize with friends. Definitely worth a visit!!

Great coffee shop near the airport! My flight got canceled and I had to spend the night in Boston so I was looking for a place to grab breakfast before my flight. The barista recommended the spinach ricotta croissant and a maple latte and it was perfect 👌

This is hands down the nicest café I‘ve ever been to. Wonderful ambiente with comfy chairs, lots of books and occasional live music, great variety of delicious coffee drinks (with a monthly special used to raise money for charities) and pastries, and very friendly service! They also have wifi :)

We stopped in for coffee for the first time today, and wow-- we'll be regulars for sure. First, the customer service is genuinely amazing. We were indecisive, and the gentleman working was super friendly, offering his two cents and sharing tips on his favorites. We also bought some beans as Christmas presents and again got great advice on which ones to choose. We even got a full cup sample of their cold brew made with some of the beans we were considering. The café itself is warm yet spacious, with plenty of seating and outlets. It seems like a great place to work or hang out for a while. Highly recommend!

Was looking for a new coffee spot in eastie this morning and found this gem! Tucked away between wing stop and auto zone, we actually hadn't seen it in the past and were so glad to have found it. Lots of cozy coffeehouse vibe space/tables inside (looks great for doing some work or studying). They don't have a rewards program but offer a deal where you get a free medium sized drink with each $40 gift card purchase. We loved our iced americano (light roast) and medium roast drip coffees. Barista was friendly and provided quick service as it was not busy at 9:30am on a Thursday in January! We will be back for more

Great quiet vibe start your day. Simple breakfast options, and good coffee. Service was delightful, and the business states that it is a Non-profit for a hood cause. Go out of your way to visit this place.

I loved that I could sit and get some work done. Parking was easy to find and customer service was great. I had their caffe mocha, which in my opinion was delicious.

If you've been to The Well downtown, this location is very similar, though it's much quieter. I think the coffee (particularly the espresso) is just okay, especially compared to some of the other options in Eastie, but I like the space and it's nice to come and work here in the mornings. They did tell me they're planning on expanding their food menu, but I do appreciate the variety in their pastries so far, especially the vegan banana bread they typically have. I'll come back because it's close to my house and they will fill my reusable coffee cup, but it's not my first choice because of the drink quality and religious affiliations (though I do appreciate their nonprofit donations).

BEST PLACE EVER. The staff are fun and hardworking and always willing to strike up a conversation or help you decide what you want. The locations are well run and adapt to problems very well. If you're searching for a place to get a good cup of coffee or tea while supporting your community, this is the place. The East Boston location is quieter and has lots of space to work, while the Everett location has lots of comfortable seating in a cozy cafe feel, and the State Street location is usually bustling, definitely the place to make friends:)

Everything you could want in a community coffee shop. Friendly service by volunteers, cozy and comfortable atmosphere, an extensive menu of delicious coffees, smoothies and more! This i my new spot whenever I'm in Boston!

Bias and un-bias review! Best coffee by far, multiple blends and brews, so many flavors and flavor combinations! Best staff, and most kind staff. Coffee is cheaper than Starbucks and 10x better. Amazing pastry's! Phenomenal location! Amazing, nonprofit business, volunteers almost every single day, and they're all friendly and out standing willing to bend over backwards. Some of the tour groups even stop in here from time to time on their route. Overall, you're not going to find a better coffee shop in Boston let alone New England.

The coffee was good but the bagel was terrible and the high stools were very uncomfortable. So I guess if you only want coffee and are lucky enough to snag a table, it's good.

Such a cute spot! Very comfy and cozy, great place to study at or work from, neat games and books to read. Great atmosphere, coffee, and service for reasonable prices.
