Pavement Coffeehouse

Popular choice for early morning coffee and bagel sandwiches on Newbury. Pavement Coffee at this location has become my recent favorite for a quick and satisfying weekend breakfast. The shop buzzes with activity, especially on weekend mornings, and to avoid the usual 20-30 minute wait, I've found that placing a mobile order in advance is a savvy move. All the bagel sandwiches I tried here were great, although they lean towards the pricier side. With the fluffy bagels laying the perfect foundation, their sandwiches come with flavorful topping combinations. The Presto Pesto is my favorite, exploding with the rich flavors of avocado and sun-dried tomato pesto. The Tequilla Sunrise bagel also brings a delightful spicy twist that wakes up my taste buds in the mornings. Their beverages complement the breakfast fare nicely. The iced Matcha Latte strikes the right balance - it’s not overly sweet, yet just enough to overshadow the bitterness of the matcha, which I appreciate. For a sweeter start to the day, the Iced Maple Death Cream was an indulgent choice that didn’t disappoint. Highly recommend giving them a try if you’re looking for a good breakfast options on Newbury, but make sure to order in advance if you want to dodge atrociously long lines in the mornings.

Amazing vegan options, really cute spot inside and out (a bit crowded during peak hours), and relatively quick service. We got the vegan creamcheese but the bagels didnt feel toasted enough only flaw id say. We also got vegan hot chocolate but it felt like it wasn’t filled up all the way and not warm enough. Would definitely return here when i’m back in boston!!

I couldn't keep my bagel sandwich together well enough while I was eating it, but I didn't care. There was so much flavor between my bagel slices. I ordered the presto pesto on Rosemary salt and added diablo cream cheese. The cream cheese was flavor-heat, not burning-heat. This is the right portion of food for a good lunch.

5/28/2023 Place was busy so took a long time to get a bagel but it was good. The multi grain was a little salty but seemed really fresh. My chai was fine, good but nothing special. The folks I interacted with were really nice. It's a cute place and I did enjoy it. I'd love to try more options and find their best options.
