    You can't go wrong. Gracenote is hands down the best coffee shop in Boston. Whether you're ordering a coffee or espresso drink, these guys know how to make it perfectly every time.

    Killer single origin espressos, double washed process with very citrus and smoked notes. A very friendly staff and great location. They regularly have a featured drink, ask for it.

    Cosy, stylish interior. Come here for great espresso. They offer several coffees for both espresso drinks and pour over that they source and roast themselves. Worth coming back as selection changes.

    Awesome coffee shop just off Chinatown. Espresso drinks are all excellent, as is the daily drip option. Good place to get fresh roasted beans. It’s tiny though so not a great place to work or hang out

    Very friendly baristas. Had a good talk here. Definitely worth trying. Go catch the sunrise at Boston Harbor and get a coffee afterwards.. pure joy.

    Expertly made coffee here. Best I've found in Boston so far. Friendly staff. Take away beans they will grind to your order.

    Possibly the only coffee shop that served espresso with tonic water during the summer. The espresso shots are perfectly pulled every time. Generally great coffee, but expensive whole bean bags.

    If you're looking for carefully crafted coffee that's locally roasted, this is the spot! Had a delicious iced espresso here. Also, the vegan banana bread was perfect!

    They have the best cold brew I've ever had. There's no seating and very little food, though, so it's best to come here if you're just planning to grab a drink and go.

    Phenomenal coffee any way you pour it. Nitro cold brew is my default, but you really can't go wrong here.

    Get the nitro cold brew. It's a shame that they serve it in small cups. Grab a bag of their freshly roasted beans, too.

    Quaint little coffee shop. Their grinder has the most even distribution of particles in the planet. Meaning, the best espresso you'll ever have.

    They usually have specials, so make sure to check those out before ordering! My favorite is the cereal milk flat white.

    Gracenote is a specialty coffee roaster with a small storefront in Chinatown. The espresso and nitro cold brew are phenomenal.

    Drink your excellent cortado standing up, in a lovely atmosphere across from Chinatown Park, then get on with your day.

    Pretty pricey for the coffee. It's totally hipster and their iced Americano was ok. Ogawa still the best! 3/5
