The ambience, the people, the rotating list of pour-over coffee: this is why I come to Diesel. It's typically loud, but not in a distracting sort of way. The food is good, breads and pastries baked fresh and locally every morning. Great space for being productive or just hanging out, which is not a common find.
The sandwiches are great. The bread is amazing, fresh and tastes good. - coming from someone who grew up on Germany, this should tell you something. All ingredients tasted fresh and well-sourced. Drinks are large. Overall, a bit in the pricey side (sandwiches between $8-13), but worth the money.
The place is much much larger than the outside facade let’s you belief. Pretty cool setup - photos of bands around Boston, billiard tables, many booths, high tables and normal 2ppl tables.
Internet available for $$.
First, let me start by saying I really love coffee and have high expectations for my morning espresso experience. That being said I absolutely love this coffee shop. Everything from the service to the food and drinks are on point. If you care about quality this is the spot. Their espresso drinks are the best in the area.
I like it so much! While the whole neighborhood around it has changed, a LOT, I'm glad that Diesel Cafe keeps it creative but simple: awesome coffee, great sandwiches, and tasty pastries. It's been a staple of the neighborhood for like twenty years or something, and a consistently safe haven for the queer community (I remember a certain bashful baby gay often taking his first boyfriend here).
If I wanted overpriced mediocre food served on a metal lunch tray I'd pay for prison. Needs to diversify staff. Also, asked for a tip for playing pool. Tip for what? Taking the pool balls back? The croissants weren't bad though.
