A nice coffeeshop with a decent range of pastry and bagels. My medium roast was delicious, but I’d rather drink a light roast. Apparently they do make pour over but they did not do it for me today. I’d go again if I’d be in the area.
Honestly the americano and cold brew we got were not good at all…
Sandwiches are cold and disgusting. Don't update items they have out of stock on door dash and don't refund. Stay away.
Good breakfast sandwich. Chai was ok, some leaves in the drink. Lox Bagel was good, needs saltier capers, salted maple latte was good.
Got the turkey club with ciabatta bread and an Iced Americano. Iced Americano was nothing special (which is fine). Sandwich was not very good, the ciabatta bread was really hard and dry, turkey was really salty as well. I can see why they were recommending the sourdough over the ciabatta. We came here a couple years ago and remembered it to be better than it was now.
Came here a few years back and remembered it to be really good. I ordered the same thing and unfortunately wasnt as good as i remembered. The hazelnut latte tasted gritty and the turkey club was really salty and hard. The sandwich literally cut my mouth lol, i think the ciabatta was overtoasted since the tops were black.
Good coffee and the vegan sandwich was great.
Its a small cute cafe, good coffee
Render is hands down my favorite coffee shop in Boston! From the back room that’s like a green house (my favorite spot to hang out and work or chat with a friend) to the delicious Hazelnut Latte and sandwiches, I could not recommend it more! A few of my favorites are: the Hazelnut latte (I crave this all the time), the Lox Bagel sandwich (the bagels are always fresh, I see Wicked Bagel delivering in the middle of the night), and the Turkey Club on Sourdough (their Sourdough bread is to die for).
Great little coffee shop! My pourover was great, and the vibe was real. I had heard that the atrium seats were highly coveted, and this proved to be true, as they were all taken. So get there early and enjoy it. I want to come back during warmer months and relax on the patio.
It was ok, coffee was good, could use heaters outside
Edit: the coffee used to be truly good. However, they are clearly no longer training their employees to make decent milk drinks. I’ve given it several tries in the last year, and every time the drinks have been awful…the foam could have been better with one of those hand frothers. I hate leaving such public negative feedback but there is no email contact. Great coffee and selection of food/pastry items. Had their seasonal lavender vanilla latte the other day and it was on point. Their brewed coffee is also solid. They've got a lot of seating too, so it's a good place to hang out for a moment.
Good bagels. Good coffee. Good atmosphere. Fast wifi (and no password needed).
We used to come here ever Saturday morning. There coffee beans are great. The quality of the Cappuccino they make with it really depends on the Barista on duty. Sometimes perfect temp, foam milk distribution and coffee taste. Sometimes no foam and too hot milk. Same with the bagels. You never know if you hit a day were the bagels are fresh and delicious or old and chewy. This inconsistency became worse recently. No salmon on a lox bagel is just the most hilarious example of things which went wrong with my orders. No pastry on a Sunday morning is another example of this branches overall inconsistency. If you are a thrillseeker, please go here. You never know what kind of experience you will get.
Great coffee and sandwiches. Bakery is good, too. Staff really attentive and friendly
Great sandwiches, drip coffee and atmosphere!
It's a good, standard coffee shop. Had some vegan breakfast options which was nice
Dont come here to do work - they kick you off the wifi after 4 hrs. I live next door and come all the time, but only out of necessity as this place has pretty bad coffee (always have grounds in my latte) and will kick you off the wifi after 4 hrs regardless of how much you spend. Also there are never seats.
My bagel was good and the person making it was wearing gloves and being cautious, but I didn't order the coffee I wanted because the person taking orders/making drinks kept rubbing their nose with their bare hand and then making/closing the drinks with the same hand. Please be careful about hygiene 🙏
small decaf espresso was not very hot, blueberry muffin not that fresh. I asked for Swiss cheese on my sandwich, I got cheddar, also bread (multi grain) was just ok.
