I hadn't had a toasted bagel with vegan cream cheese in so long that this or Bagel Rising (where Espresso Royale Caffe gets their bagels and cream cheese) was a must-visit on my recent trip to Boston.
I was not disappointed. The spinach bagel with garlic and herb cream cheese was delicious, and the soy hazelnut latte I ordered was pretty good, too. I also had a machiatto (my first). It wasn't for me (until I added some liquid sugar), but I loved the preparation -- great foam job! We ended up sticking around at ERC for a while, so I also had a vegan chocolate chip cookie that, despite looking overbaked, ended up being terrific.
The cafe has a comfy, sprawling layout, a funky vibe and a goofy obsession with having fun at singer Michael Bolton's expense. I loved it. Will definitely return, though it would be nice if they had free WiFi. (apparently this location doesn't have it; I asked)
