Super friendly staff to go along with delightful single origin beans. A drip coffee or espresso comes free with a bag of beans. Decor is inspiring, with happy plants and artwork dotting the walls.

Had the Kenyan pourover, it was great! Their own roast, brewed with a Kalita.

The Caffe Latte was really nice. They offer the regular coffees (pressed, dripped and pour over). The interior of the shop is not so tempting. For me a little too simple and uninspired.No WiFi

A friendly space with excellent coffee. Only slight criticism is that it doesnt open on weekends (unlike other nice coffee places nearby) but that doesnt detract from the really lovely atmosphere and delicious coffee at Render.

Despite living in the city my whole life, I was a bit taken aback by the prices, but man, was that hazelnut latte worth it. Seating is well placed. It was busy when I went in, but I got a seat by the window I was able to plug in my laptop and work, while keeping my feet toasty at the floor radiator. This is my new favorite splurge place to work.

Hands down my favorite coffee shop that I have ever been to. They offer a wide range if I could give them an 11 out of 10 rating I would. Feels like he, cant go wrong with Render ❤️

Really great coffee - worth a small excursion. Limited (slightly disappointing) range of snacks. Good service, and a decent space - more of a working cafe than a trendy hangout place.

Enjoyed a great cup of Honduran blend & a delicious pear tart on my 1st visit here. Careful of the big leather sofa. If u settle in there, u run the risk of not returning to work.

Casual coffee joint tucked away in between the tall Bostonian buildings. It’s pretty expensive, but not relative to other nice places in town. There’s free WiFi and all the water you can stomach, if hydration is your jam. It was nice and quiet when I came in, and it was a great place to catch up on some work. Visit. Enjoy.

Excellent coffee and comfy atmosphere. Higher prices for better coffee but thats to be expected. Extremely limited choices for food and all pastriesserved cold, no warming element. The oatmeal cookie is pretty good tho. The staff here are courteous and energetic

Review №18

An airy chill atmosphere, and though this location doesnt serve sandwiches, they were cool enough to let myself and a friend get salads around the corner and bring them in to enjoy with our coffees. Would suggest for table for two. Theres an area that people can work towards the back.

A nice spacious cafe with good coffee and decent breakfast and lunch options at a reasonable price. There are 3d printers and laser etching machines that can be used on a monthly subscription program. The service is good and they offer discounts for repeat customers.

Great coffee in a cool space. The menu is a bit sparse - this isnt Starbucks - but the coffee is fantastic. I love the flavored lattes because they make all their flavors in house; none of that squirt bottle stuff.

Review №24

Coffee was... coffee. Nothing special. Had the brownie, was nothing special either. Kinda hard to swallow due to how dry it was. Establishment was clean, but staff rather unfriendly. They were friendly with some and not others, very odd. They rolled their eyes behind my friends back after she asked a question. I wouldnt come back here.

Render is my favorite coffee shop in downtown Boston. I think their espresso is amazing. They source single origin beans and use a light roast that showcases the fruity, bright notes of their coffee.

A great space. Coffee is a little acidic for my taste. Also would have appreciated more healthy food options.

They have their own house chai blend with Mem tea, and its perfect - not too sweet. Love the little scavenger hunt.

They have a big space which is great to hang out in and avoid the office for a bit. They also offer almond and soy milk, which is awesome!

Best hazelnut latte ever! They have their own homemade hazelnut for the lattes! Very reasonable priced too.

I got the hazelnut lattee and it tasted weird, but the atmosphere in the cafe is nice and cozy

Great atmosphere, but seriously, you need to put on your website that you don’t serve food here. We walked to you because we saw your menu online.

Review №32

Ive run a couple of shops like this one, and there is a growing trend of cafes that look the part, and someone invested some money in, but are only average as far as product & service. Render is an exception.Walking in, the shop is well-laid out and the flow is evident and thoughtful, all the way through to the layout of the prepared food on the counter, and the easy-to-read menu. I was thinking about a pour-over, but the coffee I wanted was their available drip, so i went with a 12oz. Pulled out my wallet to find my debit card was missing, so I stepped off to the side to check for it. While Im standing at the counter with the contents of my wallet laid out, the barista notices and asks what i was getting, and if I lost my card. I answer that, yeah im that idiot, and she takes a couple of steps to grab the drip I had ordered anyways, and just says to get them back next time.I know this is a small gesture, and the lid on the cup is more costly than the coffee poured, but its not the point. This is the platonic ideal of a shop that knows its customers, know their relationship to the shop, and wants that relationship to last as long as possible. They dont care about the $0.15 lost on the cup of coffee; they know it means that Ill be back, and theyre totally right.Tell your friends. Im gonna.

Wonderful. Very well extracted pour over from local New England roasters (made in a Kalita Wave). Very smooth espresso with milk drinks. Great staff, but not overly friendly. Lovely, fresh, open space. Lots of greenery, but no WiFi. Great stuff, Ill definitely be back!

Small portions for the price but the coffee tastes delicious. One HUGE drawback is the fact the have a single unisex restroom and there is almost always a line to use it!
