I liked that they had a sign on the door with their Twitter handle and it made me curious enough to step inside.
I easily decided to have a chai latte but I wanted to try something sweet as well. Their pastries were really huge so I settled on their smaller-sized baklava.
The chai latte was nice and foamy and I savored every sip.
The baklava had lovely flaky layers of phyllo dough and was wonderfully sweetened with honey and pistachios.
Temptations Cafe has a bright cheery aesthetic with plenty of tables to sip some coffee, read a book, use their free wi-fi, or just chat. I came prepared to read the latest issue of Improper Bostonian and to tear our recipes from a few issues of last year's Everyday Food. It was so relaxing and a perfect way to spend an hour or two.
Temptations Cafe is located at 1350 Beacon Street, Brookline, MA and also has two other Boston-area locations.

Mmm. I haven't seen Temptations but I love poking around Coolidge Corner!
Happy to see that you were able to relax a bit before the new job begins!
I'm pretty sure I've been there!! I had a prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich... or something, but yeah it seems really familiar :) Glad you discovered it and had a leisurely time hanging out. I love comfortable and laid back places like that.
I am so glad you posted this! There's a Temptations Cafe around the corner from my office, but I've never stopped in. Meanwhile, I am always looking for some place new to grab a tea or sandwich. Hope you're having a great long weekend, and best of luck with the new job!
I've passed by so many times but I've never been in. Looks like I might have to check out their pastries!
Looks like heavn to me
The baklava looks perfect. What a great find!
My best friend lives in Brookline, I'll have to tell her about this place, and I might have to go myself. I LOVE baklava!
You were right down the street from me! I walk by this place on a regular basis, but haven't been in yet... I definitely need to check it out.
I love both the Meat house and Temptations! They have both really upped the vibe of Coolidge Corner, which was getting too chain-store-y for a while there. Both these shops and the Regal Beagle helped a lot!
i know you know how I feel about Temps! I'm so glad you discovered it, it really is something special!
