Pavement Coffeehouse
1334 Boylston St, Boston, MA
Crema's Take
“Pavement Coffeehouse is a bustling Boston spot that takes its espresso and pour overs seriously, earning consistent praise for genuinely good coffee that clearly justifies the crowds. The vibe here skews social and studious—packed with people working on laptops and meeting friends, backed by an unexpectedly stellar playlist that sets the tone. Fair warning: arrive hungry and patient, because the pastries and light food draw loyal regulars, and seats are competitive, but most who land one seem to think it's worth the wait.”

Went in not expecting much from a former pavement coffee experience, but I was wrong to judge one time for a whole brand. This was so different. The coffee was good! Got the eggnog seasonal latte with a brownie and it was divine. Wish I could frequent more.
BLACK MOLD ON AVACADO!!! This is so unsafe, i ordered this sandwhich and when I opened it I saw the avacado looked really dark, I thought maybe they cooked it or something but it had actual mold growing on it and smelled terrible. I am shocked they would put this on here. Completely disgusted
Amazing playlist!!! Kudos to whoever's in charge of the music. But also, be ready to wait for a seat because this place is always packed, rain or shine because they have some of the best coffee and bagels in Boston 🥯☕️
Unsure why this place has only a 4.1 but I really enjoyed it both times I've been. Staff are great, my oat latte was perfect, and my bagel sandwich was perfect both times. Great place to work for a couple hours to get outta the house. Probably will become a regular here.
Pavement is a good coffee house if you want to pay for a drink that is 50% ice. I went here and ordered a small iced coffee, and while it was decent, they put in so much ice that the drink only took up half the cup, and then they didn’t even fill the cup up to the top! However, the atmosphere is nice and modern, and the food is decent, so overall four stars.
