Great small local cafe. Had theBacon avocado scramble...delicious. Came with a nice couple of slices of whole grain toast and the coffee was good.Beat the hell out of my corporate hotel offerings and was only a five minute walk away! When back in town I will return!PS loved the music playlist too.

We visited Temptations seeing that this is a local Brookline breakfast spot. The sandwich I ordered was pretty average -- nothing to write home about. While it's not particularly notable, it's definitely a solid spot for a casual bite.One of the best parts of our visit was the convenience for getting work done. They have charging outlets under the seats and free Wi-Fi, which made it super easy to stay productive. We weren't the only ones who thought so; there were a few other folks working there as well.Overall, Temptations Cafe is a cool place to get some work done while grabbing a casual bite. Not the most remarkable food, but the atmosphere and amenities make it worth a visit.

The café is a cute and cozy little spot tucked into Brookline, with free wifi and various seating (booths, tables, and bars), though the place quickly gets packed on weekends. The staff were quick despite the influx of customers, and I really enjoyed the chicken florentine panini. I also ordered a hot coffee, but it tasted fairly burnt, and my friend similarly did not like her mocha. They have a large tea selection though, so perhaps one of those may have been the better choice.

I got a chicken florentine panini and it was really good. I also got an ice mocha and it was okay, nothing special. it was a cute cafe, but kind of small.

Had the Breakfast Sandwich on a bagel with bacon. Very solid, would get again if in the mood for breakfast. Will be back to try other stuff in future if ever in the area.

Great vibe, yummy sandwiches, excellent iced chai (I'm very picky about that), very friendly staff. It is my go-to place with friends and visiting family, and great little Brookline spot! It's hard to find cafe gems like this, glad there's one here!

definitely a good place for a casual bite to eat and to do work. i can't say i was obsessed with my mozzarella and avocado sandwich but maybe if i went back id get the nutella banana one because that sounds good.

Solid casual place to grab a bite or hang out and do some work without feeling pressured to leave. We came on a Friday afternoon and was able to get a seat and read for a few hours without any problem. Decent amount of space, even though, like other reviewers said, it can get kind of dark. The menu of sandwiches, salads, wraps, pastries was standard cafe fare, but I went a little wrong with the hummus and feta wrap. The wrap itself was nicely toasted but the distribution was off (it reminded me of eating a Chipotle burrito where you get one bite of just sour cream, then another bite of just guac) and it was very clumsy to eat. I also thought $10 was steep for a veggie-only wrap (as well as $3 for a can of Spindrift!!) but such is the time of insane prices. My neighbor's cream cheese and lox sandwich looked a lot better. Food came out briskly, not much of a wait. Coolidge Corner is for sure a walker's paradise but if you're driving, there's a big lot along Centre Street.

It's not safe to attract rodents to eat your fresh bread every night. Your delivery guy left your fresh bread every night at your front door and I saw a rat run towards your bread basket. When I approached, it ran under the bread. I would recommend solving this issue by leaving a temporary table outside at night so the delivery guy can put the bread on the table and not on the floor. I do not know how you can sell your contaminated bread for so many years. Safety hygiene officer can close your place down if they found out. Please reply so we know your address this issue.

Horrible wrap. Not rolled properly , dry, and uneven distribution of ingredients in huge chunks
