I love love this coffee shop!!! The bakery is amazing! Very cute french country vibe. The coffee is splendid and the sandwiches are so on point with fresh ingredients! My go to place for catch up with friends or planning for my week. The events they have are also really cool.

Very nice little coffee shop in the middle of Dorchester. It feels intimate and… cool 😎

I came for a light breakfast so we opted for their avocado 🥑 toast and cappuccinos ☕ really good flavour and tasty. Everything was as expected.

Very homey and welcoming spot on Dorchester. Sit at the bar by the window or at a small table for two or at the community table in the center of the store. If you forgot your reading material there's a Little Free Library in the store and some magazines. All gender rest room. Food was delicious. I'll go again.

This place is AWESOME! Best bakery I’ve been to in the whole state, and it was just close to my house, the whole time! The food is delicious and fresh, their chocolate cookie chips are awesome. And their hot chocolate? It is better than the Starbucks one and way more cheaper. I ended up staying there for about 2 hours on my day off, I was so comfortable that I didn’t notice the time and yet, no employee made me feel that “you got to leave”. Nope, the employees were naturally nice and friendly. Many people were having different conversations in the bakery, some seemed to talk business and some, school. Oh and, when I left the bakery I forgot something I bought to go, one employee went out, called me in the street holding my cake in the hand. So nice of her considering how the cake tasted so good!

I’m so surprised with the place I discovered, especially considering the really affordable prices. I’ll definitely be going back.

A serene neighborhood cafe where you can relax. There are several delicious breakfast & lunch options and an impressive selection of coffees & other beverages. The staff is always friendly. This place is so cute- I love it.

We were staying nearby and decided to have breakfast here one day. It was so good, we came back the next day! The peppermint mocha coffe is out of this world.

Great coffee. Nice baggels and i will be back for the cappucino for sure

Good baked goods, and tasty sandwiches in a warm and inviting atmosphere. The baked goods have a warm homemade feeling and the service was fast and pleasant. Very good option if you're looking for a well made coffee and great service desserts and baked goods. We will be coming back.

It's like the Cheers bar - but for coffee and salad/sandwiches - "where everybody knows your name". 🤗

I'm a tea gal, and they're good for that as well. New England Fog is a hit!

I've found out about this place when it initially open. Though I do not come in here as often as I would like. My experiences here has always been a great one. The staffs were very welcoming and I appreciate the fact that the owner still recognizes me despite me stopping by once in a blue moon. In addition to that, the cold brew they served here suits my taste perfectly. Today I tried their Turf Breakfast Sandwich and I must say it is delicious! I'm definitely going to start coming here a lot more often. Enough said. Keep doing what y'all doing. 👍

Cute and tiny neighborhood coffee corner shop. Better for walking to than driving to (goood luck parking). Cocoa like mocha. Traditional cappuccino. Perfect consistency biscotti. Reasonable prices. Highly recommend! Please be patient with the servers. It’s a busy place, loud place!

We came here for breakfast and the food and drinks were delicious. The place had a great atmosphere and the employees were very friendly.

Comfortable place to grab a drink and a bite of food. Love the large community table. It's something social that many more places should have too.

Best coffee experience. Great customer service. Turf sandwich 4/5 (could have been a 5 if it's hotter when served). But overall, great cafe ambiance, and the latte was the best. Would definitely come back.

Wonderful little place with great quality and great people. My go to coffee spot. Try the pao de queijo

This is a really cozy cafe in the middle of Dorchester, the interior is very clean and eclecticly decorated with local (?) art and unique furniture. The staff is polite and above all efficient, they have a clear demarcation between employees that make food and baristas which madey order come out really quick. The coffee is solid and the bagel sandwich I had was really awesome, great bagel & memorable combination of flavors. I definitely recommend coming here in the morning!

Homestead has always been my favorite coffee place in Dorchester. The restaurant is very cozy, tables and chairs are very clean. They have good variety of Healthy options like sandwiches. The only thing I want to add is that I wish the store opened til 5 or 6.

I loved it. Super cute so cozy. They different options healthy and well balanced I had a surf bagel it was excellent had avocado, salmon, chipotle mayonaise. They day after, I also have a cranberrie scone and chai latte both delicious

The coffee was great and the pastries were unbelievable! They do the classics really well. Our favorite was the pecan cranberry scone, but I imagine everything is fantastic. Added bonus: the prices are VERY reasonable.

You know a sandwich is good when you regret taking that last bite. I was pleasantly surprised! I got the Turf Bagel and it was AMAZING. No breakfast sandwich will ever compete with this one. I'm usually a very picky eater so I was a little dubious. I'm definitely won over after that experience. All of the flavors worked so well together. The staff is very nice. A great small business breakfast and lunch spot for sure!
