"Rode shotgun with a coffee drinker who loves this place. Tea is more my lane and here the loose leaf peach ginger was very good. Love the unbothered vibe of the space too."

"I was excited to try the coffee and the tea. I threw both out as soon as I got home. I love Sencha. This Sencha tasted like soap. I enjoy a good latte with soymilk. I think the problem here was that either the soymilk used is incredibly watery or skim milk was used instead of soy. It tasted like watery coffee, and not good coffee either. The muffins also tasted like gas station muffins (vegetable oil and cake mix). I don’t want to assume all the tea is bad or all the coffee is bad. Maybe this was an off day. I will say that whoever works the espresso machine made so much noise pounding the grounds out of the tamper-thing that it was incredibly loud. Having owned my own cafe before, I would tell baristas to make use of the rubber on the canisters for coffee grounds. If this place doesn’t have one with rubber, you should get one. If you have it, but it’s not being used, you should use it. I am sensitive to noises, but to bang stainless steal on stainless steal in a cafe is entirely unnecessary and, in my mind, rude to customers. Put some rubber on the corner of your counter if you must but the noise was just awful! They have such a wide selection of teas that I was sure I’d love the place but it truly was awful. Hoping my first impression will not be my last and that some redeeming factor is found. Also, I find it odd that the teas they advertise on the shelf are not the teas they actually use or sell from the counter. I wanted to try the calendula tea but was told those teas were just for retail and a different brand was used for the cafe."

"Great coffee roaster. I tried their light roast black in three instances, which was originally from Guatemala, and it was consistently great every time. This is probably the best coffeeshop you can find in South Boston. Apparently they have won 2nd and 3rd place in an Espresso competition in the US. Plus, they have a nice variety of coffee making gear such as kettle for pour over, etc."

"This local spot is great! Customer service is friendly and welcoming when coming in they have great selection of banana bread, blueberry bread or muffins fresh baked! The coffee or signature drinks are delicious and the barista will make you a cool design on your coffee selection! I went with the Gingerbread latte with oak milk, a large it’s delicious a must try! Support local businesses! The store is clean and very unique it has a tables to seat at if you like and it has a certain charm about it! It’s very nostalgic!"

"Friendly People, Good Coffee A New Zealand Staple, bringing their Flat Black/Flat White Coffee to Dorchester. A small but nice location with the tools of the trade up on display inside and a single table outside to sit and sip. Right along two busy roads, so it is not the quietest place to sit, but close enough to Dorchester Park that you can take your brew for a stroll or to sit there. I grabbed one of their cakes on display and it was average. Its an expensive brew, but you can drink the coffee black and it tastes quality. Easy walk to shops in the area, the old chocolate factory, the park, and the Neponset trail. Parking are street, at the CVS or in front of Dorchester park."
