Solid Ground Cafe

I've now visited Solid Ground a few times to sit, drink a tea, have a sandwich, and get some work done. It's a cozy and smartly adorned cafe right in the Brigham Circle area, meaning many of the patrons are medical professionals. It provides a reasonably quiet work area with a few tables. There is a power outlet available, which was a helpful addition as many of the cafes in the general area lack them.The last time I was here I got a hot chocolate, which was deliciously and perfectly sweet, as well as an egg sandwich. The egg sandwich was similarly great even without any add-ons.The staff is always helpful and polite.And one more thing I love: They have a program that allows patrons to donate to give a sandwich to someone in need - and if you stay long enough, you can literally watch them give out that sandwich. I sometimes worry about where my money is going when I donate to organizations - where is it going? Well, no issue here. It's literally going to the people who need it the most who live in the area.I will definitely visit this location again.

If you're in the area and need a quick bite for breakfast, this is your place! Solid Ground is a sweet coffee shop that features local artists on its walls and little plants on the windows. This place is rather small so I usually take my food and drinks to go, but I do think it makes the place feel cozy. The service is usually pretty fast. I'm not much of a coffee person, but their broad range of drinks keeps me coming back. I love their breakfast bagels as well, they are customizable to your liking. Today I had an iced chai, which had the perfect amount of spice and was a great coffee alternative for me. Ive had a few iced chais around boston and this was probably the best one thus far. The breakfast bagel was filling and just what I needed to get my day started. I will say they could have added a little more bacon and I did find a random piece of jalapeño pepper (?!) when I was finishing up my sandwich, so they could be a bit more careful with the ingredients. Overall, this place is great and I recommend it for anyone looking for some food and to support a local business here in mission hill.

This place is great . I go here for coffee for years. The service is amazing. The ambience is super friendly and welcoming . The prices are good for the freshness, portion size , and quality . Parking so difficult but if you find it ; it's metered .

I stayed near Solid Ground for a month while on rotation at one of the nearby hospitals, and this little cozy coffee shop was a potent source of happiness during tough times. No complaints about the iced coffee, DIY egg sandwich was delicious (the tomato jam!!), strawberries & cream macchiato latte was very sweet but pretty good, earl grey scone was large and a good sweet treat, and the mini bibingka was delicious - perfumed with coconut, fluffy, and not too sweet! There is not too much seating but the vibes are very cute and I saw some people working on their laptops. I like the local art sold on the walls, as well as the "pay it forward" system. There comes a time in life where you realize all you need is a neighborhood hipster coffee shop to be happy, and Solid Ground was mine for my month in Boston.

Still amazing! Highly recommend all of the brekkie sandwiches and depending on the time you can sit and stay awhile. Just found about the tomato jam! Add it to your egg sandwich. It's delicious.

A super cute cafe right in the heart of Mission Hill. They have all the standard coffee, tea, and espresso beverages, with some really fun options for flavors. Nondairy options too (oat, soy, or almond milk). They have delicious looking bagel and egg sandwiches, as well as quite an assortment of normal sandwiches. Definitely a place to check out for breakfast, brunch, and lunch! I ordered an ice cream roll latte with almond milk and it is delicious!! I also appreciated that the barista came and delivered it with a smile. Definitely made for a great experience. I will be stopping by between classes and meetings more often. Close by to the Harvard School of Public Health and the Longwood Medical Area. It's a small little cafe, with only 3 little tables inside so it's mostly an order and go situation, which is what the majority of people seem to do. Definitely a convenient option. Bonus: they have stamp cards. We love a good loyalty incentive!

Been here multiple times because the food is solid and drinks are on point! Great local business and ai love their business model of helping others with food. Will keep coming back for sure!

Stopped by here for breakfast. Husband and I got build your own egg sandwiches. While the option to customize your breakfast was good, the avocado spread didn't taste so fresh and the bread the sandwich was on seemed just like sliced bread out of a plastic bag. I also had wish the menu had explicitly stated eggs would be poached. Coffee was smooth, and decaf lattes were possible thankfully. Ambiance was fun; I enjoyed seeing the local artists' work while I waited. I also appreciated the energizing music. Would not be opposed to coming back, but would not order the same thing again.

The food and prices is amazing and they open early so we can always go before work! I think there is only two people working so you might have to wait a little... the other thing is tables are small so kinda hard to go with your friends But again worth it

I have been meaning to visit this cafe as I work in the area and finally got to do so recently. For my afternoon snack, I decided to get their special hot coconut pandan latte macchiato and London fog scone. The latte macchiato was nice, and you can taste the pandan syrup in the drink. I wish the coconut cream was more prominent in the drink. The coffee is not too strong, but it is alright overall. The London fog scone was pretty good. I really enjoyed how prominent the tea flavor was throughout the scone. It was decently sized. The vanilla glaze was light and added a nice touch to the pastry. I would love to come back and try their other sandwiches. I am looking forward to trying out their other drink specials.
