The Tremont Street Cafe and Lady Sauce

Lou and I happened upon the Tremont Street Cafe today while having to waste an hour's time, and it worked out perfectly. We wanted a nice place to sit and have coffee while we waited for Lou's mom to get a facial, and this place fit the bill.

The Tremont Cafe has been open for about 6 months. It is in the concrete building towards the end of Tremont Street. It is the building where there is an alley of parking in front separated from the main road. It is definitely worth seeking out.

The sign out side of the cafe says they have mediterranean food, spinach pies, homemade hummus, taramosalata, but they also have a variety of other things. There is a gelato counter as you walk in the door. The cups they serve the gelato in are bright and fun. They have a large variety of drinks to choose from, Ginseng Up, Cliff drink, Zico, Naked, Aqua Panna, Pelegrino, as well as, a fresh a juice bar and espresso and cappuccino. There are fresh baked goods, dry goods, frozen icecream pies, and frozen pastas, they even have Tofetti. Overall I would say there is a healthy selection of items to choose from mixed in with some not so healthy items like the oreo cookie bar, but who wants to eat healthy all the time? There is also an apparent effort to conduct a green business. A Reduce, Reuse, Recycle sign hangs on the wall, and cups are made from recycled materials. We would love to have a place like this closer to us in Southie.

When we walked into the Tremont Cafe we were greeted by Seana. To say her energy was positive is an understatement. Seana is engaging, and she has a great aura about her. We ordered two caramel lattes from her and when they arrived, they were picture perfect, so I took this picture.

Seana caught me taking the picture and said she was really flattered and all I could think is, very cool, this girl takes pride in her work. The Caramel Lattes were awesome. The milk had a sweetness that only perfectly steamed milk has. Lou and I also decided to share a cranberry pecan bun made by Iggy's, http://www.iggysbread.com/. It was soft and flavorful with cranberry's and pecan's throughout. A perfect light snack to tide us over until lunch.


As we sat and ate, Seana struck up a short conversation with us. She told me she has a blog of her own http://www.ladysauce.blogspot.com/. We checked it out when we got home and I realized Seana is much cooler than I ever was or will be. She is a hype-girl! Check out her video on the site.

Temont Cafe was great, Seana's service took it up a notch. Drop in if you are in the neighborhood and see for yourself.
