Gracenote Coffee Boston

I am not a local; a coffee-fiend friend suggested this place. This is 1 of the best coffee shops I have ever encountered. Its like a quiet Blue Bottle; all the knowledge- none of the hype. The baristas were friendly n oh so helpful. I finally learnd what a cortado is; I enjoyd several while I was there. They took the time to talk about their product in the manner of people who truly enjoy what they do. If you are ever downtown take a moment n visit Gracenote...

Simply the best coffee and baristas in Boston. You won't get a better macchiato or cortado than this place. Friendly and definitely worth the money.

Be warned this place has been discovered so you'll often have to wait in line while finance people order their iced coffee. Still it's worth every minute waiting and every penny spent.

The best coffee in Boston, absolutely no contest. It's the first place I've found in the USA that makes an espresso coffee the Australia way (the best way). Also has a great banana bread and other delicious looking pastries.

One of my favorite coffee shops in boston. Very smooth rich esspresso and so creamy and hot. Definitely one of my favorite things about boston in the winter.

Very knowledgeable and nice staff that helped this tea drinker find coffee to take home to her coffee-snob husband. Although there are a few stools and a gorgeous live edge wood bar, it isn't a place to hang out while sipping and reading.

Best drip coffee I've tasted in Boston. The staff are really friendly too. It's really small - standing room only and no WiFi. But great for take out!

Coronavirus mitigation diminishes the pleasure of sitting down to an artisanal espresso drink in a ceramic cup in a cafe, but the barista at Gracenote made up for it by crafting a cappuccino so perfect that I forgot the paper cup and the sippy-top lid. Excellent coffee!

Interesting flavour. It taste little sour to me . But good taste. It small shop most likely take and go place

Excellent coffee, excellent staff, plenty of options. They now offer cashew milk in addition to almond milk, which is really nice. If you're really into the specifics of coffee, this is he place to go. They document and experiment with different coffee variables, to make sure they're getting things right: they look at the ratios of coffee to milk, have very specific ways of making each drink, and even experiment with the weight of coffee before and after they place it into the machine. Very cool.

Note: this is a place to get a great cup of coffee and maybe have a short conversation with a friend or the barista, but not a place to sit down and do work. There are no places to sit, and no wifi or tables; it's just a small corner that strictly serves high quality artisan coffee - and that's their thing.

This place is extremely disappointing. Scorched milk, only paper cups, and the staff seemed very rude. For tourists visiting from Europe, this doesn’t match up to the third wave scene you’re accustomed to.
