Americano Espresso Bar
155 Meridian St, Boston, MA
Crema's Take
“Americano Espresso Bar is a streamlined, espresso-focused spot that prioritizes speed and quality in equal measure, with a notably clean space and friendly staff who excel at both self-service and personal interaction. Their signature cold brew and creative cold foam drinks—particularly the Honey Butter variation—stand out, paired with solid breakfast sandwiches that hit the mark when you're fueling up before work or meetings. Fair warning: this is a grab-and-go operation that's shed its old cafe coziness for efficiency, so it's best appreciated for what it does well rather than expected to feel like a lingering destination.”

The most uninviting cafe I have ever been to. They have filled the space with unused counters, bizarre tables on wheels, and ordering kiosk/screens. Before covid, this was a cafe with seating and you could order from a person. Now it is the most impersonal cold place. Move some of the dumb tables and let someone sit down! The food and beverages are fine, but nothing to stand around in a mean space for.
Great coffee spot, never disappointed. Smooth and fast service, great to grab and go. This review was made in connection with a Toast promotion
Quick service, solid coffee. The espresso roast is nice, and they have a Honey Butter flavor that is incredible in a cold foam. They also make great breakfast sandwhiches that you can customize yourself which is nice.
Ordered a caramel macchiato and they put way too much caramel in here, can taste more caramel than coffee. Second time coming here and the coffee is alright, a bit watered down. Wish it was a more personable place where baristas actually took your order (you make your order via the tablet)
Got to meet the owner of this joint. And he’s a great guy. Place is clean. Super clean. Customer friendly. Easy to order with self order and humans! I got a bacon, egg, and cheese. And it was really good. Nothing to complain about. Flawless place as of my first visit. I’ll be sure to update this on future visits.
