Pink Carrot
115 Salem St, Boston, MA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a characterfully narrow Boston storefront, Pink Carrot wins over locals and visitors alike with genuinely good coffee paired with an impressive lineup of fresh, customizable food that goes well beyond typical café fare—think vibrant salmon bowls and inventive black bean burgers that justify the detour. The team here treats modifications like requests rather than inconveniences, and they've mastered the tricky balance of being both a quick-grab spot for coffee and a lingering destination where families and friends actually want to settle in and stay awhile.”

Nice local place with friendly staff and good coffee. Great menu of healthy options, and the ability to modify things without a lot of fuss. Atmosphere is pretty cool with it being a long-narrow shop. Very open kitchen in the back and the barristas run the place from one side. Coffee was perfect - both the espresso I had and the latte for the wife. They seem to do quite a bit of takeaway business. Inside, because of the small space, seating is very limited. The tables along the one side you can only sit on the bench side otherwise people can't get through. There are five or size tables up front that can be moved around and six stools at the counter
My son and I loved the pink carrot! Easily the best meal we had while in Boston for the week! I forgot the name of my salad but it was delicious! My son said it was the best black bean burger he’s ever had, he ate it before I could even get a picture. Love whole the vibe in there!
What a wonderful local find. The food was delicious and the service couldn't have been better. We enjoyed a quick bite and a latte on our way back to our cruise ship. The tuna melt and the avocado toast are wonderful.
I feel robbed. I just ordered an avocado toast for $11 dollars wondering why the cute cafe was empty. I felt hopeful about the avocado toast. When the avocado toast arrived, I immediately was aware of why it was so empty, I was shocked. It was a measly piece of bread with not much avocado spread and some seeds on top. (I did end up taking off the seeds because it did not look appetizing). Still having some hope, I bit into the avocado toast, and to my surprise there was NO FLAVOR AT ALL. I mean they could have at least put a little bit of salt or pepper. $11 dollars for this measly little avocado toast with zero flavor is absolutely ridiculous. If I could rate this place 0 stars, I would. The staff also seemed unkind and miserable. Do not recommend, I feel ROBBED.
Wow! The Salmon bowl was delicious, very filling, very fresh and full of flavor. The location is rather small so it can feel very crowded when it isn't actually. The staff was super attentive, respectful and quick both on taking and serving orders. It's a nice breakfast location while exploring Boston's North area. They have some merchandise you can get in case you like the brand... I'll be coming back next time I'm in Boston for sure.
