A true espresso bar - walk up, order, be on your way. The espresso is delicious, worth having black. They use gracenote beans, which won't lead you astray and are a nice compliment to George Howell. Pastries if you're hungry and a friendly person Eric behind the bar. A great way to start your day!
A nice extension of Nine Bar in Davis sq! Erick makes a MEAN cortado. They brew Gracenote and sell retail bags.
This is the best coffee in the area - great service and really good espresso drinks. I also love asking for recommendations on which beans to buy, and I've always enjoyed what I decide to pick up. Truly knowledgeable service, genuine love of coffee, and a really authentic experience. My only wish is that they'd get the level business they deserve so that they can stick around for a long time!
The cutest, best, and friendliest espresso bar around. Eric is the #1 reason why this place is so amazing. He’s so wonderful and my drink is always delicious! Cold brew and espresso are some of my favorites. Do not miss your chance to grab a drink or snack here.
Best coffee in the Downtown Crossing neighborhood, by far! For the six years I've worked in DTX this little space on Bromfield St. has hosted two coffee shops that immediately became my favorites. Boston Brewin operated here for 7 years until it suddenly closed at the end of 2018. It took a few months into 2019 for Nine Bar to open, but no disappointment at all when it did. The proprietor Erik brews Gracenote coffee and serves two blends daily, which he rotates every week. The coffee is awesome. Always fresh...always hot...never bitter...and very consistent from day to day...week to week. I'll leave it to others to comment on the espresso and espresso drinks as I'm more of a straight up coffee drinker, but suffice it to say a coffee here with a shot of espresso called the Red-Eye when it was Boston Brewin is the bomb! Nine Bar also offers iced coffee, tea drinks, a variety of breakfast pastries and healthy snacks. I highly recommend Nine Bar if you need a quick caffeine fix and bite to eat on the go.
That's the place to go to for real coffee connoisseurs. A small and minimalist spin-off of the Somerville espresso bar, it offers excellent coffee and friendly, relaxed service. Well rounded espresso with a light but pleasant acidity.
Great little spot for coffee and espresso that recently opened downtown. If you enjoy good coffee and friendly staff I would definitely recommend trying Nine Bar in place of Cafe Nero or Starbucks
I love this little shop! It is such a great addition to our Downtown Crossing neighborhood. They brew Gracenote, and sell their beans as well.
Fantastic coffee in a quaint little nook. Incredibly friendly and really just a hidden gem downtown. Highly recommend.
I love this place. Nine Bar in Davis is my favorite cafe in the city and am really glad they have a downtown location now!
