Equal Exchange Cafe

Great coffee, great staff! They also sell coffee and other items (like their homemade chocolate!). This little coffee shop is a little hidden but also has great views to the iconic Zakim bridge. Great place to take a laptop to get work done, they have many coffee options so you can be sure to find something you like. If you’re an instagrammer of all things food and artsy coffees, this is the place to you. Their cappuccinos and lattes are always so pretty, Alamo’s too pretty to drink! ☕️

Great spot to hang out and people watch or just grab a lite bite and coffee. I had some work to do while visiting in Boston and this is the 2nd time I used this cafe for wifi. I am in love with their scones, especially the maple walnut. I want to try some of the soup sometime. It fills up at times but the lines go quickly and people don't mind sharing space. Great location with an amazing view of the bridge just around the corner if you want to enjoy your coffee outside.

Good coffee, fast service, friendly staff! Cute, reasonably priced coffee shop with fast service and upbeat staff. I love how eco-friendly the store is, and how there's an emphasis on conscious purchasing (information about fair-trade, zero-waste, and organic initiatives are easily visible.) You can also purchase coffee beans, chocolate, snacks, and mugs.

The staff here is very friendly and are quick to deliver your drink or food order! They are also kind enough to engage in small talk with patrons, making your stop feel a little more special. I will only have to critique one thing, I purchased an iced chai latte and it was not what I expected. This is not to say that it was unbearable, but it just did not taste like any chai I had ever tried. It tasted almost like a black tea latte, very bland. Overall, this is a great coffee shop to check out if you are visiting downtown. It's conveniently located behind the Converse factory, which is on the wharf, making it easily accessible to all in the area.

Such a refreshing place for coffee. The service was beyond friendly and helpful. It was genuine and warm. The coffee barista explained differences in styles to me. We chatted about coffee and life. He was amazing. The vibe is welcoming and cozy. The coffee was robust and delicious without that burnt or bitter taste. They have a huge variety and will customize it for you. Cute and decent sized sitting area. Go here for awesome service and java
