About Beacon Hill Books & Cafe
Beacon Hill Books & Cafe is a charming and cozy establishment located in the heart of Boston. The cafe, situated underneath the bookstore, offers a delightful dining experience with a menu featuring a nice selection of brunch items, soups, and salads. The pricing is on the expensive side, which is expected in the neighborhood, but the overall atmosphere and vibe make it a worthwhile visit. The food quality is mixed, with some dishes like the mushroom soup and the squash salad receiving positive reviews, while others, such as the disappointing popover, fall short. The service is generally attentive, although there have been instances where milk and sugar for tea had to be requested. The holiday high tea is a popular offering, with the chef's understanding of classic tea flavors and presentation being a highlight. Despite some inconsistencies, Beacon Hill Books & Cafe is a charming and cozy spot, particularly for those looking to combine a visit to the well-stocked neighborhood bookstore with a delightful dining experience. The location and overall ambiance make it a sought-after destination for a cute lunch or tea experience in Boston.

The staff made me feel special from the moment we arrived to the time we left the restaurant.
The food was delicious, light and well prepared. We had Burrata salad, lobster roll and gazpacho.

Such a cute bookstore, with a wide selection. The children’s section is adorable. The mini print machine is so cool! I got the sea shell print.
I only wish I could have tried the cafe. They were exclusively doing afternoon tea.

What a lovely place. We popped in for a glass of wine while walking, and will definitely go back for tea. It looked amazing.
