It's a fantastic atmosphere. I love ❤️ going there for my run-club (Midnight Runners). I always get a guava pastry and a latte. The staff is very nice and service is pretty quick.
For $9.00, the egg sandwich on a brioche roll is already a fantastic deal for the area, but I decided to go all out with extras: an additional sausage for $1.00, an extra egg for $2.00, and extra cheese for $1.50, bringing the total to $13.50. The result? Simply amazing flavors and an absolutely delicious. Trust me, you’ll thank me later!
Great egg sandwich! Café Beatrice is in an upscale area of the city near running and biking areas. This is a great spot for a morning breakfast to start your day. The egg sandwich was tasty and they had an assortment of pastries as well. Overall, a cozy breakfast spot.
Still one of my favorite local cafes in Cambridge. Been coming here since they first opened, and while their sandwiches are all solid, the breakfast egg and sausage sandwich is what keeps me coming back. Legit sausage patties, perfectly fried eggs—and when I’m all in, I go double patties, double egg, add cheese. Definitely not cheap, but totally worth the splurge if you’re starving. It’s one of those sandwiches that carries you through the entire day. Their pastries are solid too. The veggie danish is easily one of the best I’ve had in the city—more like a croissant, flaky savory, and not overly heavy. I’ve also got a soft spot for their cinnamon roll. They supply pastries to local cafes like Cicada, and I always grab a couple of their sea salt chocolate chip cookies when I need a sugar boost.
The ambiance is charming and elegant, making it a perfect spot for both a relaxed breakfast and a cozy afternoon coffee. The food is fresh and beautifully presented. Their coffee is top-notch, especially the cappuccino. The staff are warm and attentive without being intrusive.
Love it! Come here to do work or to just have a nice coffee moment! The latte I got was tasty every time and the food also super tasty ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is one of my favorite coffee places in Boston! It's much more reasonably priced than a lot of places; I got a latte and monkey bread for $10. I also love that there's both indoor and outdoor seating and there's the park to wander nearby too.
Really nice bagels! I tried their kalamata olive and caramelized onion cream cheese. I prefer olive over the onion. Bagels felt fresh. They have a few other great breakfast options (a few vegetarian options too). Their hot chocolate and latte are just average. Nothing much to say. I'd still go for their bagels and other breakfast options.
I’m at home right now dreaming of the breakfast sandwich at Beatrice so I thought I’d write a review. Well, I dream about the breakfast sandwiches… I guess that’s the review. Oh, and it’s right on the bike path so a fun stop on your ride.
Their cinnamon rolls are amazing! My birthday is coming up, and I had the intention to only get the tiramisu latte. But then, with Roxy, I got inspired, and she asked if I had tried their roll. I mean! "Nope. I hadn't yet!" Best pre-birthday dessert 🍪🎂 ... Run! And then there's the cozy decoration, couches, but also high chairs. Work or not. It's all about casual meetings, catching up with oneself or else.
