What People Are Saying About Cafe Nation

In Short – After supplying local restaurants and cafes with coffee beans, the owners of Cafe Nation decided to open a proper cafe. Besides gourmet coffee and espresso drinks, the cafe provides young Brightonians with freshly made crepes with various sweet and savory fillings. Fruity smoothies, fresh salads (crab and avocado) and designer sandwiches (tofu and mango chutney) round out the offerings. Those with laptops enjoy free Wi-Fi access.

Excellent gem tucked away from the hustle & bustle of Boston

by bumblefreak

Sweet, creamy pastries, fabulous crepes, and delectable salads are just some of the phrases that come to mind with Cafenation. I'm not usually a big coffee drinker, but I have enjoyed everything I've tried here. That and the free Internet and great customer service keep me coming back for more. They could only be better if they were to open up shop across the street from my apartment.

  • Pros: Service, crepes, salads, coffee, pastries, ambience
  • Cons: Location - too far from the center of Boston

Just Awesome!

by kris10w99

I have yet to have any food or drink that I do not absolutely love! It's a great cafe atmosphere. It does get busy on the weekend so it'd be great if it expanded it's space, but otherwise I highly recommend going! They use fresh and wholesome ingredients and the price definitely matches the quality of food you get - not too much and not too little. I really enjoy their iced coffees and availability of Sugar in the Raw and various types of milks as you add everything yourself. And it's got wifi!! Grab a "frequent flyer" card so you can get a free meal after 9 purchases. I think I'm addicted... ya it's sad.

  • Pros: Everything!

The coffee is ok, but I can't support the owners

by littlekif

It's a coffeeshop, no better or worse than any else in the area. However, one of the owners (I presume) has a Cafenation branded car with commercial plates and lives in my neighborhood and has nearly run over several residents, including myself. I mean, REALLY! If you're dumb enough to be a reckless driver, don't do it in your own neighborhood and don't do it in a car branded with your business's name that you're supposed to be using for commercial purposes. Duh.
