The Bittersweet Shoppe on Newbury

Hands down one of my favorite coffee shops in Boston. You will be greeted by such charismatic staff, who are knowledgeable on all that this shoppe has to offer. I love all of their unique offerings on Iced Coffee. Honorable mention: Loved the donuts!

So many creative grilled cheese, fried dough, oatmeal, hot chocolate, coffee, and tea options.

I had a rooibis chai latte with almond milk and a dill pickle and bacon grilled cheese. Sooooo good. I’ll have to come back for a fried dough and a hot chocolate.

I am SO sad that most stores are entirely inaccessible for my walker or wheelchair!!!!

I went without and resubluxed my hip!!!

Next time I’ll order and ask if it can be brought up to street level. I’m just so sad that Boston is still so in accessible!!!!

One of my favorite spots on Newbury with a fun, small town coffee shop vibe.

Having frequented this shop for a year, Sunday mornings at Bittersweet have almost become a ritual for me. On days with good weather, the place could get extremely crowded, so I either come early in the mornings or order for a takeout.

It was their cinnamon sticky bun iced coffee that first caught me by surprise. Since then, I’ve been coming back to try their array of distinctive flavored iced coffees and lattes. Yes, they are sweet, and the idea of sipping on flavors like iced sugar cookie or strawberry shortcake might initially sound appalling. Nevertheless, it’s always nice to have something fun once in a while, and they are great for a quick and invigorating sugar rush in the mornings.

Food-wise, expect comforting staples adorned with the quintessential Newbury price tag. Although dubbing them "gourmet" might be stretching it, there's no denying that they’re solid snacks. So far, I’ve tried their Tuna melt sandwich and the Boston baked bean hot dog, and both were good.

Overall, a refreshing divergence from generic coffee shop mold. If you're wandering Newbury and in need of a caffeine and sugar kick with a side of comfort, this is your spot.

I only ever come here for coffee and spinach feta croissants, and I love it. It's such a cute spot, especially in the spring. In colder months it's more of a grab and go since 90% of their seating is outside. I've yet to try any of their sodas or novelty things but I still recommend.

Amazing staff, coffee and food! well worth the cost for such a since and feel good experience. I'm new to Boston and Bittersweet Shoppe was the first kind and welcoming breakfast stop I have been too.

This place is a must when you are in Boston! Great food, coffees, and very friendly and helpful employees.

Their coffee selection is amazing, we had to come back multiple days in our trip just to try a few different ones. So many options of overnight oats that are delicious (PBJ, Caramel Apple Pie, Carrot Cake). My kids loved the fried dough, particularly the Strawberry, Banana, Nutella option. Breakfast sandwiches were freshly made and tasty. There are so many grilled cheese options that it’s hard to know which to try, but check out the Caramel Apple and Three Cheese varieties. They also have hot dogs, sandwiches, waffles, non-coffee drinks, and homemade cookies and ice cream sandwiches.

Definitely give The Bittersweet Shoppe a try and you won’t be disappointed!

Hands down my favorite place to eat on Newbury! Atmosphere is great, extremely clean, wonderful friendly service (owner Tracy is almost always on sight), and wonderful selections. Try one of their creative grilled cheese sandwiches, tomato bisque, or sweet and savory breakfast!

Such a wonderful gem! Lots of flavored coffee to choose from and fun flavors for the lattes. A wide variety of pastries, overnight oats, and dishes with eggs. I highly recommend the french toast sticks! We went several times to this cafe while we were in the area.

I experienced a perfect coffee. I was impressed by the variety of coffee and the kindness of the staff.

This little gem is tucked into the quaint Newbury Street area! The food and coffee were delicious, and perfect portion sizes. Super friendly staff and a cute little seating area outside. Definitely a great place to try if you like coffee and croissants !

Nice cozy place on Newbury. Great coffee, lot of options for a good teatime snack, decent prices. Don't hesitate to stop by after an afternoon of shopping. The outside tables are definitely a plus for the warmer days.

The most amazing and quaint little breakfast spot !! Wonderful outdoor seating. Banana cream iced coffee, banana split yogurt parfait, freshly squeezed juice, birthday cake yogurt muffin, etc.

We absolutely loved this Cafe for breakfast. We both got the delicious spinach and cheese pastry (cannot taste the spinach for those who don't like spinach) with delicious coffees. Many coffee options as well as flavour options available.
Super cute decor inside and out.
The seating does get a little limited during peak hours.
Highly recommend!

Such a cute little spot! Great espresso with the sweetest outdoor seating— very French.

Wonderful coffee & bakery spot in newbury. They have a great lunch food selection as well. Undoubtedly the most aesthetic coffee shop you’ll ever go to

Super good! Super fun atmosphere, limited seating but delicious food. A ton of great options too & the staff is super friendly and helpful.

Such a cool spot to have coffee! The coffee is really good and it’s such a nice spot to sit and enjoy newbury street.

Great flavored iced coffee (got a toffee caramel black iced coffee) and croissant for an afternoon bite. Definitely a busy spot but we nabbed a table and enjoyed the fresh air. Will be coming back to try their other coffee options and foodstuffs. Overall great experience!

Amazing coffee even if a little pricier. Try the cinnamon sticky bun coffee. Note there’s not much inside dining (like 2 high top tables) but lots of outdoor seating. Grilled cheeses are good, very meaty.

I'll let my wife take this one..."If you had to define me as a coffee shop, this place would be it. It has all the flavored coffees, all the sugary treats, a blanket and sunshine."

P.s. The brunch plate was delicious!
