The bagel was good, Service nice but…Here I am, ordering my breakfast for here. And what I get is a pile of plastic and paper trash even though there are mugs, glasses and plates in the shelves. Just for dusty decoration or what is the policy behind this? The planet is fighting with climate change and you are producing just as much trash as any other Starbucks, Dunkin or whatsoever chain. This is where you should make the difference in 2022 as a local chain. Show responsibility and use your reusable stuff. If this is not changed I will not be back even though service was nice and food was good.

This location of Pavement Coffee is the quintessential Northeastern University hangout, lunch, and study spot. The place has a great student vibe! The coffee is bold and delicious! And the food is wholesome, fresh, and satisfying.

Pavement coffee house is a great place to stop if you want to relax and enjoy a cuppa coffee for staff Are wonderful And the owner Larry is a great guy

This is the place. It’s an amazing place. The coffee is to die for, their bagels and pastries are incredible, and it has the most amazing vibes. The neighborhood coffee place.

Pavement has my favorite bagels in Boston so far. I love all the plant based options. The only thing is sometimes they run out of stock. The dark n stormy coffee is *amazing*

This is what I waited 45 minutes for. When I went in and ordered nobody told me there was a wait on food. I waited 45 minutes to get a watered down drink and the sloppiest sandwich I’ve ever seen. I picked a hair out of it and ate it. Never going back in this place again. I have been a customer at pavement since they opened. They have good stuff, but definitely not worth it unless you have an hour to spare. The guy next to me was still waiting for 2 toasted bagels after who knows how long. I will go back to traveling to cambridge for a sandwich if I ever eat from pavement again. This store needs a new system ASAP or they will loose more business.

Coffehouse special taste

Decent food definitely, service was nice but not perfect. Some were nicer than others and some seemed to not care too much about the customer. But otherwise, the bagel with cream cheese is great. The lemonade is alright, nothing special.

Great coffee to wake you up this part of Fenway. After the Starbucks nearby closed, this is the only go to for good coffee and it’s worth the wait. They have an app but I have not used it.

Hands down THE BEST Bagel shop I've been to outside NYC. The interor design is a #vibe itself and the coffee is on point with fast service for all orders (very efficient team). The bagels are to die for (e.g. everything multigrain). There is a spicy diablo cream cheese that itself is an experience. The folks here at Pavement have truly carved out a niche for breakfast bagels. Highly recommend and would repeat/add to my morning routine if I were a Bostonian...(sadly im from NJ/NY area)
