Café Fixe - Brookline

Great espresso and tasty baked goods my favorite is the vegan coconut cookie

Best coffee around if you're into thrirs-wave beans.

I couldn't be happier that I finally stopped into Cafe Fixe! First off- the espresso is excellent. Best Barrington I've had all over Mass. I got an espresso, an espresso and tonic and a mocha. All three were excellent in their own way. The espresso and tonic may be the stand out- the top shelf tonic and the great espresso made for the best drink I've had in 2020, easily. The mocha was on point too- not too sticky sweet, great flavor. Next, 8oz drinks!! I've been looking for a cafe that served 8oz drinks for over a year now and I've finally found it! This is my new go to when I'm anywhere near by.

Cafe fixe has some of the best espresso drinks I have ever had. Their cappuccino has the perfect amount of milk and has a beautiful complex and smooth coffee flavor. I appreciate their dislike of people setting up their laptops and occupying tables for a long time, as this is a coffee shop and not your personal office. They have very limited seating and I think it should be reserved for people to go out and socialize over a cup of coffee. The inside of this shop is clean and minimalist and they have a very nice espresso machine. The self serve water station is also a big plus and very considerate.

What a sweet little neighborhood cafe. All the staff is always friendly and their coffees are good quality. I am so happy to see it survive through the pandemic!
