Matryoshka Coffee
Owner-painted murals and playful drinks like the Confetti Cuban at a Chestnut Hill coffee shop. Mornings only, Tuesday to Saturday.
#5 in Coffee
What to get
- Confetti Cuban (sweetened condensed milk, espresso, sprinkles)
- Gas Station cappuccino (spiced vanilla brown sugar)
- Sea salt caramel latte
When to go
Mornings only: it closes at 2 pm and is shut Sundays and Mondays (site data). The shop tripled in size in 2025, so there is more seating now (Scene).
Insider tip
Owner Abbey Chiavario painted the murals herself (Scene). The name nods to the shop sharing its building with her husband's coffee-tech company (Eater).
