The Green T Coffee Shop

Everything I’ve tried here (food or drink) has met or exceeded my expectations. I usually get a California or western bagel sandwich. They can be a little on slow side for the breakfast sandwiches, but it’s worth the wait (maybe five or six minutes). If I’m in a rush I’ll get a muffin or a bagel and cream cheese which are good too. Cute little place with a cozy atmosphere.

Food is delicious, but service is hit or miss depending on who is working the counter. Went two days in a row because I was at a lecture down the street. There is a friendly guy and a rude guy working the counter. Both times I went, there was no wait. First day the friendly guy took my order and was very polite and quick with my sandwich. Second day I got the rude guy who seemed put out by having to take my order and then made a point to tell me the specific name of the sandwich he thought I wanted twice. What I asked for was eggs and cheddar on a croissant. What he kept saying was that I should have ordered «the small breakfast» which is just 1 egg and cheese on a bagel. I wanted 2 eggs which is why I didn’t order that specific sandwich. After rude guy walked off, the nice guy came out and saw me standing there and asked me if he could help me with anything. Really highlighted the difference between the two of them. Oh well. Hopefully the rude guy won’t be there next time I go back.

Service SUCKS. I have been here a few times to get a sandwich around lunch time and while the sandwich is pretty delicious the wait time totally ruins it. I ordered the Motz Melt both times which is just a panini with mozzarella, tomato and pesto and waited 20 minutes. This would be fine if it were busy but there were only a few people in there. Not cool and definitely not worth it for a small panini that costs $ 8.50.

This coffee shop actually has a sign on the outside that looks like a T stop-​make sure you don’t miss this quaint little shop, because I sure did the first time around #newb
I had been here a couple Sunday’s ago with my friend to do some studying and found out it was quite small and has only one outlet for their customers to use. However, today I came in around noon and was able to swoop up a little table with a view of the entire establishment.
Upon arrival, I wasn’t greeted, that is by far one of my worst pet peeves in an establishment, especially a small place like Green T. I smiled and stood at the front trying to figure out what I wanted to order. The man at the register was not helpful at all, didn’t even give any recommendations.
When I decided on which breakfast and drink I wanted, one of the baristas tried to make some small talk and joke about my drink. I love it when workers actually try to start a conversation and can be personable, I really appreciated it.
I ordered «the big breakfast sandwich» which is your choice of bagel, 2 brown eggs, spinach, and choice of cheese (cheddar and pepper jack, yum). For my drink, I chose the salted caramel mocha latte, it was delightful, the perfect amount of salted caramel mocha. Not too sweet, not too salty.
Green T has a nice vibe with their minimalist décor, chalk menu, and lighting in the front. I enjoy little nooks like this one and will definitely continue to be a customer.

Coffee is on point, delicious breakfast sandwiches came in less than 5 minutes, waitstaff was friendly. What more could you ask for?

It’s a decent spot, but I often leave a little disappointed. Today we waited 30 minutes for 2 bagels toasted with cream cheese before we had to leave! Never even got the bagels!
I understand that it’s really the only coffee shop on the Hill but maybe they should invest in another toaster!

I love this place! The smoothies are great, the food is delicious, the coffee is good, the chai tea latte is great too, I have yet to have a bad thing here. It’s super cute inside, there isn’t a lot of seating, but I’ve never not been able to find a place to sit. This is definitely a frequent stop on my morning and afternoon commute!

I love this quaint little place! I love getting smoothies here sometimes before I go to work in the morning! Their muffins look so yummy and I see them pull them out of the oven sometimes and they smell amazing.
I have to say for being so small the way it’s set up is super cozy and welcoming. The staff are always nice (although at night it varies). My only complaint is I tried to get a smoothie later in the day and they said they only made them in the morning. So sad.
Their menu is a big chalk board and it’s really pretty. Outside before you walk in they always have a sign exclaiming what is special that day or something that’s worth a try, maybe it’s new?
Their tea is delicious and I highly recommend this a place to try! My friends seem to love their food, and I can’t wait to try a muffin!

They have good smoothies but their flavored coffees are pretty inconsistent. They run out of bagels pretty quick. I feel like they should get more or something. Their croissants are good. I haven’t tried one of their sandwiches for lunch but they sound really good.

I love this place! They have incredible muffins and amazing fruit smoothies. I recommend it for breakfast. Its small but you can always take it to go!

Good variety of breakfast sandwiches. Their latte is surprising good, but their bagels are a little bit tough. But that’s understandable because they are not a bagel place. The sitting is nice. Even if it is crowded, My friends and I seem to get a seat.

A really cute local coffee shop! Not a lot of seating and basically no outlets to plug in. The coffee was great and the vibe is very comfortable to meet up with a friend or even get settled with work for a few hours. The food looked great, but their hours for the kitchen are limited so I couldn’t order a sandwich. :(The staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Service is prettysub par, they acted like I was crazy when I asked for a whole wheat everything bagel.
The smoothies sound delicious but taste like ice
They also left off the bacon on a breakfast sandwich which is arguably the most important part

This place has a really cool vibe! However, it’s very tiny. I wouldn’t recommend sitting down to eat.
The coffee is great, many different flavor options. They have sandwiches, breakfast, and smoothies as well.
The staff is very friendly and service was pretty quick.
A tad over priced-​a small flavored coffee or small smoothie is gonna cost you $ 5.

Friendly staff. Great selection of coffee and tea. Their butterscotch cappuccino is on fleek! YAAAAS GAGA!
Their breakfast burrito was too hipster for me, but I still really enjoyed it. The popey is spicy, be warned.

One star for the clever coffee shop name (it’s located off the green line), and one star for the cute and homey décor inside. Zero stars for the service and the drinks themselves.
So you would think that on an afternoon when it’s not too busy, they wouldn’t FORGET to make your drinks, right? Wrong. There was one other customer in the coffee shop who had already been settled for a while now. My friend and I ordered chai tea lattes with espresso, and 15 minutes later, we realized… where are our drinks? My friend has already written a review about this, but in a nutshell — she didn’t even apologize that she simply forgot. She claimed to be cleaning when she was just on her cell phone. Honestly is appreciated, so of course I was a bit annoyed, but what could you do about it except patiently wait for your drink? My hopes were high that even though the service was terrible, the drink would be decent. I shouldn’t have had such high hopes. The chai tasted gritty and just… strange. I took a few more sips to try to give it that extra chance, but my face cringed with every extra sip. She claimed it was some «in-​house» chai, with certain spices that may not have dissolved, but that’s the way that it should be. If that’s the way it’s supposed to be, it sure was unpleasant. The only reason I sat there longer was because it was snowing and frigidly cold outside.

I’ve always waited for the bus/​T right outside, but never found the time to go in and try it out. They’ve always posted drinks specials that look really delicious and aren’t price too terribly.
I finally went in the other day with a friend and we both ordered a chai latte espresso. We then sat down and chatted while waiting for our drinks. It wasn’t until 15 minutes later that we realized we still hadn’t received our drinks; the batista/​cashier was standing at the register on her phone. I approached her to ask about our drinks and she apologized, saying that she was in cleaning mode and completely forgot. There was only 1 other customer in the shop so it’s not like she was swamped to forget. But sure, that’s fine. We finally received our drinks and we’re excited as we took in the sweet aroma of chai and espresso. That abruptly changed when we both took a sip and had the grittiest taste in our mouths. It basically felt and tasted as if a tea bag had exploded and the bits of mashed tea leaves and spices were floating in our drink. My friend approached the barista and inquired about it, of which she responded that it was just their house chai blend. So in defeat, we sat there and continued chatting without finishing our gritty chai lattes.
Just overall bad experience in service and product, shame.

Technically a 4.5, there are some imperfection… But since I want you to try harder to make yourself the bestest Coffee Shop in Boston, it’s a 4 for now. A lot of great beautiful potential.
Firstly, I can say that 87% of my drinks will be on point. Sometime I will make an earth-​shattering… cup shattering? discovery that will truly make my day. Sometime I will be left with disappointment in a sad paper cup.
Case in point: the rose milk tea, sound like a dream, taste like water.
But something like the Chaider hit your taste-​bud with a bulldozer and really scream at you to chase the Fall before it’s all over.
Banana Foster Late was another wonderful silky comforting blanket for the cold days ahead.
English Breakfast Milk Tea — LONDON FOG, oh ya, make me want to visit London.
I forgot the name: but the smoothies with the spinach and basil tasted so fresh and wonderful it makes you feel like Boston never left its summer days.
The TOMATO SOUP is king of Tomato soup. Another one of my food obsession, how can I not order it every single time I am here. Tangy with a hint of spice dancing happily with the dip of the pretzel chips, this is true marriage.
The sandwiches haven’t really made me too poetic however.
Got recommended that Bow Thai, but I wasn’t too happy about it. The spice was all over the place, my tongue refuse to house it even when my stomach was crying for sustenance
Alaskan Smoked Salmon Bagel was tasty but my everything bagel was a big difficult to bite down. It was a little bit of a struggle but man that caper on there was clever and delicious
The Green T Spinach Bagel was nice and simple, a go to for a casual day.
My most favorite thing have been absent for a while: the Apple Muffin. It had beautiful lovely apple bitties that both surprise and delight. Please come back. PLEASE I need you. No one can replace you!

If I were solely basing this review on coffee, this place would get three stars. But because I’m writing it based on coffee and burritos, a solid four-​star review is in order.
The coffee here is okay. Better than Dunkin or Starbucks alternatives, and it’s the only coffee shop in the Mission Hill neighborhood. They have a lot of interesting drinks: iced s’mores lattes, for example. They taste good, but their plain coffee is just alright.
They also offer a lunch menu, with sandwiches and wraps served with soup and chips. I’ve never had any of these, but they look pretty good.
The best part about this place though, is the burritos they serve until 3:00am on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. They offer both breakfast burritos (with a choice of bacon, sausage, turkey sausage, or veggie sausage), and a bow Thai, which is satay chicken with rice and some spices. SO GOOD. Definitely a staple for college kids who live on the Hill. We end every night here.
The staff is friendly, especially the late night burrito guy. One time, when we were the only customers in the place, we chatted him up about the kind of stuff he sees working until 3:00am on the Hill. He said there isn’t a body part he hasn’t seen in this restaurant. So, come for the burritos, stay for the nudity.

Cute coffee shop in the hill. Seems like people are complaining about customer service, but I had friendly baristas this morning when I went. The iced coffee was perfect — not too bitter or burnt but not watery either. I can’t speak for the espresso drinks though, I’ve never tried them.
I think their breakfast sandwiches are really well priced… Places like ERC and comparable coffee shops in Allston are way more expensive for the same or worse quality. Today I got a bacon egg and cheese bagel and it really hit the spot.
I also like the vibe here. Music is calm enough to stay in the background but today it’s a chill reggae mix. The windows are open and you can just chill at street level. Good place to grab your coffee and go or just hang out for an hour or two.
