Crema's Take
“The cinnamon fig latte and pesto bagel combo here is worth the trip alone—reviewers are genuinely obsessed with both, with people claiming they'll return to Boston specifically for these items. Service can be inconsistent and the espresso work is solid but unremarkable, so go for the signature creative drinks and food rather than expecting latte art or flawless execution. It's a chaotic spot near Berklee that caters to students and coffee enthusiasts willing to overlook occasional order mix-ups for legitimately excellent pastries and specialty beverages.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. Pastries and light food on the menu.

THE best bagel I've had in my entire life. I said what I said NY. I came for the cinnamon fig latte and got the bagel on a whim, and I will come back to Boston just for this bagel.

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…
