Lovely spot in the North End for beans and teas. I purchased the Italian Roast for espresso as well as the pan-fried green tea for tea. The Italian roast created the perfect foamy espresso to compliment my homemade lattes. Better than any coffee shop i have been to. The pan-friend green tea had a nice earthy taste.Will come back whenever I'm next in town

If you are a serious coffee fan then stop at Polcari's Coffee in the North End. There is is a fragrant coffee atmosphere inside Polcari's. They have a wall full of coffee varieties. The rest of the store is coffee accessories, sweets and cups of all kinds. Stop in for a souvenir or for a bag of high end coffee. Its well worth a visit. Highly recommend.

Super cool shop located near little Italy. They have very cool products that are from all around the world. I came across this place on Yelp when searching for a spot to get coffee. I asked the store clerk if they had an iced latte, he told me"Let me check", and then comes back and said yeah. So I was happy and ordered it. Along with the coffee I got an iced lemonade. I loved the fact that you only pay for the cup price, in it you can get any drink. Sadly the iced latte was made with instant powder espresso. I wish they had told me beforehand that they do not have an espresso machine. On top of that they added 8 pumps of French Vannila syrup! So it just tasted like watered down syrup with a little bit of coffee aroma. (1/5) However, the iced lemonade was impressive (5/5). All in all, this is a more of a grocery store than a coffee shop. Definitely some unique finds in here. When it comes to their coffee don't expect anything more than generic instant coffee.

The Best Coffee in Boston and the nicest people. I love this place I get 2lbs at a time of the espresso blend every Month. It's worth the drive for me. Also they have the best lemon slush,spices, and Flour. Best place in Little Italy! If you are visiting Boston it's a must visit

Love love love me some Polcari's! It's a small shop but BIG impact. We walked in while visiting the area and when you first walk in you have the sweet savory smell of coffee.....like you just opened a fresh bag of coffee you know that first whiff? That's it. The staff was super friendly and explained you can buy coffee that they make (pour overs, nothing to fancy) but also have the option to purchase coffee, teas, spices, candies, olives, oils and more. With the coffees and teas they have them in big glass jugs that you can smell the flavors and choose how many pounds you would like to purchase. We purchased snickerdoodle beans (they can grind them for you as well), cinnamon beans, cinnamon orange tea, lemon pepper seasoning, smoked paprika & lemon ginger chewable candies. The smells are very much there and we made our first cup of snickerdoodle coffee at home and it tasted exactly like a snickerdoodle cookie. Luckily you can order online on their website so I will gladly make more coffee so I can order some more. 10/10 highly recommend. Even if you don't live in Boston check out their website as they do ship. Woohoo!
