Capitol Coffee House

122 Bowdoin St, Boston, MA

★★★★4.4(361 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

Nestled in a historic Beacon Hill building, Capitol Coffee House is a beloved breakfast destination where regulars and visitors alike keep coming back for genuinely excellent pancakes, eggs, and thoughtfully made coffee alongside quick service that never feels rushed. The staff—including standouts like Hazel and Rafael—create a genuinely welcoming atmosphere that transforms what could be a quick grab into a reason to linger, making it the kind of spot locals actually ask you to keep quiet about so they can still get a seat.

This place is unreal. I had a bad experience a few months back with a nasty attitude but just brushed off and figured I’d give them another shot. I’m a contractor constantly working in the area. My employee and I ran in to get a couple sandwich’s. 1: bacon egg and cheese. Plain bagel 2: bacon and cheese, no egg. Everything bagel. (Egg allergy) Gave us number for the order. Number 50. They proceeded to give our order to another customer and asked if we were ok with taking the mistake they made. Not sure why they would even ask that question. I could tell by the way they were carrying themselves having them remake the order would have been a bad idea. We walked out. On the way out I asked why they didn’t just make us what we ordered instead of trying to push the other persons order on us. They got pissed and started cussing and screaming at me. God forbid you spent 3 minutes making a new sandwich. Horrible way to run a business. I think it may be time to start thinking about retiring boys. I hear the weather is nice in Florida.

Hazel and Rafael were so very welcoming. Pancakes and eggs were absolutely the best I’ve had! Reviews don’t lie!! Don’t tell anyone else or we won’t be able to find a seat when we come back. Warning there is no bathroom. The closest one is across the street.

Oh my gosh, my new fav brekkie spot! We just moved to Beacon Hill and there are many booked out places for the La Di Daa’s! I got a great coffee, a bagel 🥯 just the way I like it and the local read for under $8! That, with a view of the capital! Also everyone who works here feels like they’ve been here a while, and the Boston accent does it for me! It just feels homey!

This little place is nice. One way they could drastically improve is to put the food on real plates with real silverware. This is inside a building with a very cool history, it is across the street from the state house. I understand people try to save money, but for the people dining in, they need to have something of substance. I felt like I was camping using those cheap little plastic utensils.
