coffee break cafe 12 old colony ave quincy ma — Restaurant in Quincy

CBC has been my go to coffee place for 20+ years. Love how they are always trying new flavors and new food items.

While I do miss sitting enjoying a coffee and a bagel with friends, covid has changed a lot for small businesses. To keep everyone safe, the owners made the decision to create a safe environment for their employees and customers. To do this they removed the seating area for the customers to make room for social distancing. This way they could still serve their great coffee and keep everyone safe.

While the circumstances are not ideal for anyone, CBC always finds a way to bring joy in some way to the community. Whether donating to school events, charities, or helping other small businesses find a way to find new customers, CBC is truly a community partner.

Their employees are always so helpful and make you feel like you are home. Not only remembering what flavor you get but also how your spouse takes their coffee.

I know this is more of a company review than a food review but I feel people need to see that CBC is more than just a place to get great...

I have been a regular customer at the Coffee Break Café since it opened several decades ago. And I'm not the only one-- this is a very popular locally-owned place, and the service is generally excellent. Some of the best coffee anywhere-- many interesting flavors, both hot and iced, some of which you won't find anywhere (I like German Coffee Cake, and Chocolate Banana, plus they have different Flavors of the Month.) During the pandemic, CBC has stayed open, and the owners installed a barrier at the counter, along with social distancing markers, to keep everyone safe & healthy. There aren't as many pastries as they used to have (the muffins are excellent) but they still offer Grandma's Coffee Cake. On-street free parking is available, and if you're on the South Shore, CBC is...

The cleanliness is as atrocious as the staff’s attitude towards customer service and cleanliness!!! I attempted to buy a bagel and peanut butter, and upon standing at the counter by the windows I discovered PILES of rat droppings! When I brought this to the attention of the two girls at the register they didn’t care and said I should speak to the manager, who was not there. 1) staff should be wiping down all surfaces throughout the day but the droppings has definitely been there for quite some time and 2) they never even apologized or took ownership of how filthy the place was! I will NEVER go here again or any coffee break for that matter. I also called the Quincy Health Department. Maybe they will give better customer service to the agent...
