Pavement Coffeehouse - Allston
1243 Commonwealth Ave, Brookline, MA
Crema's Take
“Pavement Coffeehouse is a cozy, bustling neighborhood spot where the espresso-focused drinks and pour overs genuinely shine, backed by staff who actually care about getting your order right. While their food offerings seem inconsistent lately, the warm hospitality and laptop-friendly vibe make it a reliable go-to for a quality coffee and a few hours of work or catching up with friends.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
