Kneeland Cafe

Came here unexpectedly since we had to change our plans (South Street Diner lost electricity and was temporarily closed), so we walked around and stumbled into this place. Quiet and unassuming, we had no idea what to expect. However, the food we ordered were fresh, delicious, impressive, amazing, and fabulous. In short, I was in my feelings. I ordered the waffle (with maple syrup - you had the option of honey and regular syrup), apple danish (since it's fall, after all) and the caramel bliss (espresso, milk, vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, frozen caramel bits). I thought I was going to fall into a sugar coma but everything balanced each other well and none of these items were intensely sweet. They were the perfect level of sweetness. Their regular coffee was tasty. I'm hooked on this place... Lawddd faddah. Also, the persons who served us were exceedingly helpful and attentive. I'm happy I stumbled into this spot since I plan on visiting it again the next time I visit Boston. I recommend checking it out.

Today I was in the mood to change up my coffee and decided to try Kneeland Cafe. It is a quick 5 min walk from my office and figured why not stop in. I expected to pay close to what Starbucks charges for coffee, but was pleasantly surprised with the affordable menu. I ordered a large hot cafe mocha and a breakfast bagel. The service was quick and attentive. I was third in line, and was out within 5 min. The inside is cute and cozy, with classic cafe pictures and a small table to look out onto Kneeland st. If I didn't have to go back to work, i would have really enjoyed sitting and relaxing.

I don't understand why people are voting this so low. It's a regular spot with good fresh food and great service. Look this spot is not going to whoa you but you will be fine for a quick bite and don't care about something crazy special.

From the warm ambiance to the impeccable service, every visit is a delightful experience. The staff's professionalism and warmth create a welcoming atmosphere. The diverse menu features expertly crafted dishes with fresh, high-quality ingredients. What sets this cafe apart is its commitment to accommodating dietary needs. The presentation of each dish is artful, and the cozy decor adds to the charm. Whether for a business meeting or a casual catch-up, Kneeland Cafe exceeds expectations. A top-rated gem in the city!

Stopped in when I wanted to grab a coffee. I thought that a cafe would have more options, but it only seemed like drip coffee was available. It was no better than what I could make in my hotel room and I ended up throwing it away a couple blocks down the road.

Great spot near south station to grab a bite to eat and fresh coffee or breakfast/lunch. Will definitely be coming here more often

We were delighted to have chosen this spot for breakfast this morning before heading to the airport! The people working here are so friendly, the food was HOT and fresh, the prices were very reasonable. I got an iced latte and it was also super good! We recommend!

So yummyyy!!!!!!the best cafe ever I recommend you all come here! They have the best food and smothies

Went looking for an alternative to the Dunkin near my work and found it! The proprietress is so sweet and personable. It takes longer to infuse the delicious sandwiches with love and care, so if you have to run, I guess run on Dunkin, but think Kneeland Cafe if you wanna be treated like a person!

I've frequented this place many times because the food and drinks here are about 4 stars. The prices are reasonable, so it has good value; but when the young man behind the counter (who sounds like the owner) starts yapping away with another customer about how he "doesn't understand why people still go to Chinese restaurants", that does it for me.I don't need to bring my business to a place like this, there are literally dozens of other options within walking distance.
