In 1998, Pavement started with a simple proposition: make delicious hand-made, kettle-boiled bagels in Boston, while working with and for people we love. Since then, we have launched an award winning coffee program, gaining knowledge and experience the old-fashioned way—by learning from the best in the business and by always pushing forward. We are committed to sourcing, brewing, and serving the best cup of coffee that we can.

Now after almost 20 years, and six locations, we continue to love and value the things that first inspired us --homemade bagels, delicious coffee, good friends, and an atmosphere fit to host them all.

At Pavement, we only sell coffee that we are crazy about. It’s as simple as that.

We believe good coffee comes not only from quality beans that are roasted to reveal balanced and delicate flavor profiles, but from sourcing coffees that support the livelihood of the farmers who grow it and the communities where they live.

For these reasons, we have chosen to work with Counter Culture Coffee of Durham, NC. We value their dedication to developing relationships with farmers and working directly with them to push the boundaries of coffee quality forward. A community built on transparency, quality, and love. At Pavement, we deeply value these ideals as well.

Our coffee team is dedicated to making sure every cup we serve highlights the best of each individual coffee. Before serving your beverage, each barista has been certified and trained on their coffee palate, the basics of brew science, and milk chemistry.

Coffee shouldn't have to be complicated for you. It should be simple. Simply delicious. We remember that moment when we first tried that one cup that changed what we knew coffee could be. Let us keep seeking that perfect cup for you.

We work hard to perfect and refine our hand-crafted bagels—made from scratch, kettle-boiled, and baked every morning in our Allston kitchen's stone hearth oven. Our three-day process ensures that from the first mix of dough to the moment our baker pulls the warm, toasty bagels from the oven, we allow our carefully sourced ingredients to develop the full flavor that they deserve.

In recent years, we have built upon our baking expertise to produce all of our own breads. Because there is nothing quite like the taste and aroma of freshly baked bread, we are passionately looking toward the future - committed to sharing with our customers our delicious baked goods.
