Love the breakfast sandwich on the biscuit. It is top tier. Something special. Also, the prices here are very reasonable. I appreciated that. They have fancy croissants that i want to try next time. Literally every other person in line ordered one.

Located in the middle of the financial district, Tradesman Lounge offers a relaxed and delicious coffee shop experience.

During my visit during a weekday morning rush, snagging a table was a bit challenging as there were a lot of workers and travelers dropping by for some quick coffee or breakfast. I got their Sausage & Egg Sandwich. It was basic and compact but boasted of all the essentials for a delightful bite: a fluffy scramble, a savory sausage patty, and ketchup that seamlessly knit the flavors together.

As seen on Instagram, the croissants were beautifully presented, with each croissant filled with flavored and sweetened cream. As is the case for a lot of cream-filled croissants, the croissant itself wasn’t very flaky — a bit dense — but the cream managed to balance out the texture. However, a word of caution for those with a less sweet tooth: the creams lean towards the sweeter end. Among the trio, the Tiramisu Croissant stood out, not drowning in filling, thus hitting the right balance in sweetness. Apple Pie and Red Velvet iterations were also delightful, but I wasn’t sure if it justified its premium price tag. To wash it down, I opted for their Madagascar Vanilla Latte. Creamy and aromatic, it unfortunately erred on the sweeter side, especially when paired with the already sugary croissants.

For those looking for sweet pastries, the croissants from Tradesman are worth a try. However, if diving into their specialty croissants, perhaps a regular, unsweetened coffee might be the ideal companion to counterbalance the sweetness.

Looks phenomenal, tastes like it was baked the day prior. The ratio on the mocha tastes more like a warm cup of milk. Both types of croissants we had were really hard to chew on and it was a Monday morning we went. Would highly recommend Tattes Bakery instead

All of the food here was decent. Nothing was absolutely amazing—my favorites were the french toast sticks and the berry rectangle thing. I enjoyed my breakfast sandwich, but I feel like it was simple enough that I could have made something just as good at home. At the very least, there are other breakfast places that can do a higher quality breakfast sandwich. This is NOT to say it was bad because I still enjoyed it. I'm just explaining the what made this a 4-star review instead of a 5-star one.

The operation here is focused more on fast service and less on made-to-order. All the sandwiches have already been made and they're sitting in a window. I would've loved an egg and cheese on their pretzel bun, but that's not an option. When you order they'll warm it up for you.

My sandwich was flavorful. It was also half-heated with cold spots.

The pastries in appearance are enticing and they half way deliver on taste.

For two sandwiches, a pastry, a coffee, and hot tea it was $40 + tip.

It's fast and it's convenient, but I value attention to food, fair prices, and a calmer and more relaxed atmosphere. It wasn't my scene, but it might be yours 🤷

Stopped in for two coffees, didn’t expect it to be so busy! The coffee selection was not as elaborate as their array of pastries and breakfast goodies! Unfortunately, we weren’t hungry but if you’re looking for yummy treats for the morning, this is your place. I believe the coffee shop it associated with the hotel attached, made sense for how crowded it was. I would go back just to try those beautiful croissants, like strawberry and tiramisu flavored 🥐

Tradesman Coffee Shop and Lounge provided us with a memorable experience that left us with mixed feelings, but ultimately positive impressions. Our order consisted of two mochas, and while the coffee was of good quality, we found it to be a little on the sweeter side for our personal preferences. However, the overall taste was still enjoyable, and it is worth noting that sweetness can vary from person to person.

Moving on to the pastry selection, we decided to try the red velvet croissant and the Boston cream pie croissant. Both pastries exceeded our expectations in terms of taste and flavor. The red velvet croissant had a delectable combination of rich cocoa and cream cheese filling, providing a unique twist to the traditional croissant. As for the Boston cream pie croissant, its luscious custard filling and smooth chocolate glaze created a delightful balance of sweetness. The only drawback was their size; they were so generously proportioned that we struggled to finish them. It would be great if they offered smaller portions to cater to those with lighter appetites.

Aside from the food and beverages, the ambiance at Tradesman was cozy and inviting. The shop had a pleasant aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and the lounge area provided a comfortable space for patrons to relax or work. The staff members were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.

While our mochas leaned towards the sweeter side and the croissants were larger than expected, our visit to Tradesman Coffee Shop and Lounge was still a delightful one. The quality of the coffee and the scrumptiousness of the pastries overshadowed these minor concerns. We appreciate the attention to detail in creating unique flavors and commend the friendly staff for their excellent service. Should you find yourself in need of a cozy coffee spot, Tradesman is worth a visit.

Thoroughly enjoyed their chai latte! It's one of the best I've had in Boston and is easily comparable to Tatte's. Also the interior has a comfortable, rustic energy. Their baked goods are fairly solid as well, and I liked the grapefruit juice :)

A really pretty place with so-so pastries.

I liked the atmosphere. It was very chic with the dark wood and metal.

I got a tiramisu croissant and a red velvet cookie. The croissant had filling inside which was nice. But the croissant itself wasn’t super flaky or buttery. The cookie was much richer than I thought it’d be. I liked the little white chocolate chips because they added some texture and additional taste.

I might try other croissants to see if they’re better, but my initial foray was meh

DO NOT GO TO THIS COFFEE SHOP! You will immediately become addicted to the exquisite coffee, amazing service, and immaculate vibes. You will find yourself coming here for breakfast all the time, and eventually for happy hour.

Big shoutout to the employees, especially Eric, Anna, Tatiana, and Ishlam, just to name a few… Staff is very friendly, caring, and always smiling.

One of my favorite places in Boston, I always look forward to stopping by. ;

Super cute. We came a little late in the afternoon and to my surprise they still had plenty of specialty croissants left. I enjoyed my croissant, they are very sweet! So if you're not into a lot of sugar I wouldn't recommend the fancy flavors. Coffee was perfect! And they have a bar !

Great cafe to lounge around, catch up with a friend, or get work done. The croissants are fresh and go perfectly with coffee. They also have a bar inside the café for alcohol beverages. The overall atmosphere is pleasant and you will find yourself wanting so stay a while. Do yourself a favorite and get the avocado toast with the ranchero sauce, it’s amazing!
