Service was great and memorable but the food was even better! I thought the coffee was fine and good, but the “presto! pesto!” bagel I got was out of this world. Very pleasantly surprised and I will be returning. I will say that it can be quite noisy on the weekend so I don’t think I would come here to work or study, but otherwise great experience and no complaints.

A very cozy place right on Boylston street. This store is very close to the Hynes convention center. It’s a nice place to grab a warm latte and get a book or a laptop and be in your own world happily and undisturbed. The prices are worth the dishes served so no complaints. The interiors are very well thought out I must say.

This place is a vegan heaven for bagels All the bagels are vegan (I loved the rosemary one) and some of the fillings are vegan or can be made vegan (they have vegan Just egg and vegan cheddar)!

Nice espresso and good place to work. It would be nicer if they fix the water dripping from the ceiling hahaha I really loved the espresso tho.

They have vegan cream cheese options as well as a unique variety of other flavors (lemon dill, salted honey butter, hababero). Bagels are made in house, filling but not overly dense. Vegan cream cheese was good. Tequila sunrise sandwich was awesome. I got a cortado with cream. They allowed me to customize with no problem. The drip coffee is excellent. Counter culture is fair trade, rich and balanced. The atmosphere here was relaxed and cozy. I saw people dressed up and down so all seem welcomed. Good, solid coffee place with great food options.

Love their bagels! I had a traditional cream cheese with the rosemary salt bagel. I strongly recommend it!
