Capitol Coffee House

Small place with single seating only. The omelet I ordered came with like 5 or 6 home fries, so I didn't like that. But the blueberry pancakes were awesome.

I went back 3 or 4 days in a row for the pancakes. Plenty of blueberries, light and fluffy batter - just right. I got a ham and swiss(?) panini that was good, too. They seem like they have their regulars and they have a good relationship with them, but I personally didn't get that "welcome" vibe that I like when I go out. As I left I thanked them but didn't hear any response. That's not the kind of customer service I like, but hey, it's Boston, and it seems that's typical of my experience out here. I'm getting used to it a little more, but I still look for a little more friendliness. That goes a long way with me. The man who takes the orders seems to know the job pretty well, which is always helpful. I'm not putting these guys down, it's just my experience and my preference. The pancakes are definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a quick pop in before work or something. They'll take care of ya and you'll be happy with the order. I say check 'em out.

My wife and I were in town walking around looking for a place to have breakfast. We stumbled across this place and boy am I glad we did! We love Boston and we're big Red Sox fans in town for the Yankees series but we've only been to the more "touristy" places to eat. This place is straight up local! And man was the vibe cool! Simple breakfast food but it was really good and the hospitality was great and it was fun people watching and drinking in the local vibe.

First of all, after the reading the low ratings, I am laughing so loudly in the airport. This place has amazing French toast and the egg sandwich was delicious as well. If you're looking for vegan or Starbucks style coffee shop, Google those places. The gentlemen behind the counter were welcoming and friendly. The prices are within normal range. If you don't like the fact they use paper plates and plastic utensils then, again, Google somewhere else. If I ever come back to Boston, this will be my stop for breakfast. Great job, gentlemen!

No restrooms! Having a coffee store where you can sit like this and not having bathrooms available should be punished by law.

This is the cutest place I've ever eaten at! Great food for excellent prices. Good views to sit by a window and people watch as I enjoy a lazy breakfast. Friendly atmosphere makes me want to come back. I had the Capitol breakfast plate and highly recommend it.

This place is amazing! Good old fashioned hole in the wall restaurant. Their croissant breakfast sandwiches and coffee are amazing! My family got the french toast and blueberry muffins, and they are great as well! Highly recommend if your in Boston!

Very pricey; coffee was too sweet

The food was okay. Not bad, not great. The waitress was very nice and perhaps the only highlight. But if you care about the environment, don't eat here. It's all waste. Paper plates, plastic utensils, paper mats, plastic foam cups, etc. The amount of waste generated for my family for one meal was ridiculous. Multiply that by hundreds of customers a week and it's pretty disgusting in this day and age with all the awareness about reducing waste and why it matters. They even have corporate propaganda on the plastic foam coffee cups about how each cup generates less landfill "by weight" than paper cups and sleeves. Missing of course is that paper decomposes relatively easily and plastic foam doesn't- about 500 years to decompose, or that it's made from fossil fuels and has harmful styrene in it, a toxic chemical that can leach into your coffee in small amounts. But the frosting on the cake was when we finished our meal, drank our drinks, and my 3 year old daughter and I needed to use the restroom. That's when they inform you - NO RESTROOM (they don't have the space, evidently). Nice!! And nice setup since it's not mentioned anywhere visible on the front door as you come in. No public restrooms nearby either, especially on the weekend. Unless you want to use the one in the park. Overall, this place was a huge disappointment and their practices unacceptable as far as I'm concerned.

Food was great, but service was not. Everyone was friendly, but the waitress had a hard time understanding our order and the three of us that ordered the sausage, egg & cheese croissant didn't get sausage, but were still charged for it. Had good potential, but didn't leave us with a good impression.

You might feel like you've travelled back in time when you step through the doors here. The prices and the feel is fixed in the 1980's, and both can't be beat. Great place to come for an affordable lunch.

Try the fries -- the are piping hot and excellent, straight out of your childhood.
