George Howell Coffee

Great place to stop by for coffee and pastries in Downtown Boston.

George Howell has been one of my go-to spots for coffee in the downtown area. Since this is their flagship location inside the Godfrey hotel, empty seats were rarely available, but they did have extra tables in the hotel lobby. I was usually able to grab one of the comfy couch seats without any issues.

My favorite menu so far is their shaken cold brew. It's slightly sweet but goes well with their pastry selections. I've tried the orange danish and sticky bun, and both were excellent. Their sandwich selections also looked nice, and I'll definitely be back to try those for lunch.

It was one of my favourite cafes in Boston. It was nice and spacious and the employees seemed very knowledgeable about coffee. I got the pour over with BLT and the food was also surprisingly good. I also grabbed two beans from them, and I can confidently say that it was some of the best coffee that Boston has to offer.

Expensive but tasty and cozy.

Got Large Chai latte. Their large size is a typical medium size and the price was 5.26. It was a tiny bit too sweet for me but quite tasty.

They had quite pleasant music on (instrumental style). Everything was clean and well decorated. No plants though.

Probably one of my best coffee experiences ever. I had the Alchemy espresso and the filter of the day. Both amazing! The space is incredibly beautiful and well located.

E were visiting Boston, and this was a cute little cafe in the vicinity of my Airbnb. We stopped by for the breakfast. My mom started her day with the regular coffee and a bagel with lox. I ordered a cup of mocha with a regular breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg, and cheese in English muffin bread. My husband drank affogato, and Italian delicacy of expression drink paired with a scoop of gelato. He choose to eat an avocado toast with it. The avocado toast was absolutely great. The avocado was super fresh. The lox sandwich was pretty good, with the good quality lox. Overall the food and the drinks were great. My husband and my mom departed for their scheduled tour. While I spent another couple of hours working from there. It was crowded, yet working as great. The wifi was cool, so my work from anywhere went absolutely smooth. I would like to go back anytime.

Great coffee shop serves good quality coffee and tasty baked goods. It was amazing when I first tried coffee sangria and latte, and they are both my favorite (tho a bit pricy). Iced coffee is also great; however, the shaken ice coffee might not be one of my favorite. Overall, this is a coffee shop that I won’t miss when I am in Boston!

The coffee was robust and deep in flavour. There was a lot to enjoy and appreciate with each sip.

The staff were decently friendly, and the shop itself is well-designed and has a nice atmosphere.

The fact that the kitchen closes at 2pm doesn't really make sense, because so many people want to eat at that time.

We stopped at George Howell TWICE during our short visit to Boston. We had cold brew, a cappuccino, and bought a bag of beans. It’s all very good. They source and roast the best coffee in the world from sustainable sources.

Go there. Enjoy.

Quality coffee. Tasty breakfast sandwiches. Lively ambiance. This is a must go to coffee shop for a wonderful experience and excellent food/tea/coffee. My friends are super picky with what they eat and drink and they approved of this place!

I tried a London fog and loved it. One of my friends had an iced coffee and the other got a tea. Both were happy with their choices.

The sandwiches were also delicious. I got my egg sandwich with arugula on sourdough bread and it turned out so tasty!

This coffee place is outstanding in latte flavor and latte art. The baristas take their time to make a masterpiece. Definitely, this place is one of the best coffee shops for amazing latte.
Just to clarify the food seen on the pictures is not from this place. The food was from Cafe Bonjour ( just around the corner).
The latte, matcha latte and macaroons were from George Howell Coffee and we enjoyed them.
Highly recommend this coffee shop.
