George Howell Coffee
400 Newbury St, Boston, MA
Crema's Take
“This Boston gem puts serious craftsmanship front and center, delivering exceptionally balanced espresso and pour overs that clearly justify the care that goes into each cup. The newer location strikes an inviting balance between focused coffee work and social hangouts, with natural light, reliable wifi, and both cozy indoor and outdoor seating that never feels cramped even when it gets busy. Beyond the coffee itself, you'll find thoughtfully made pastries and light food that match the quality of what's in your cup, making it an easy place to linger whether you're meeting a friend or settling in with your laptop.”

Coffee tasted amazing, can be a little busy inside!
A lovely cafe! I visited with some friends and we were able to get a table on a weekday morning without much of a crowd. I ordered a cortado with some pastries (scone and croissant) and they were all delicious. The service was a bit on the slower side but I appreciated that the coffee was made fresh.
New location, same passion — and it shows! The vibe here is fantastic, with a clear focus on craftsmanship and quality behind every cup. The latte was exceptional — beautifully presented, perfectly balanced, and incredibly smooth, truly setting a high standard. We also tried their pour-over, the Kenya MAMUTO AA, which was clean, vibrant, and bursting with blackcurrant notes. The barista team made the experience even better with their knowledge and hospitality. If you love coffee, this is definitely a spot you don’t want to miss!
☕️Stopped by the long awaited opening of George Howell at the Lyric. Good lighting, wifi, seating, and not too loud. Most importantly good espresso and coffee ☕️ Accepts Apple Pay
What a great little spot! Very cozy spot to work with indoor and outdoor seating. The coffee was amazing, great taste - followed by great selection of food with tons of flavor! Really nice!
