The Common Word Café

They work hard and it’s a cute cafe in the mosque. I love their sombusas

Love this place for many many many reasons. This Cafeteria adds color to over all ISBCC experience. Lunch time, get a slice of Pizza, Sandwich/wraps or one of their signature Rice Salad Meat Combos. If not in mood of eating anything, just go with Baba Chai with Curry Puff or Samosa! :) May Allah bless the staff here.

this cafe is inside the roxbury masjid, the map shows it incorrectly. anyway it\'s a very clean halal cafe with good ethnic foods like biriani, curry chicken puffs and fried plantains alongside your lattes and chai tea. very convenient for waiting for salaah.

Curry puffs are 5 stars!

This is inside the masjid. Clean, lots of room, mostly cafe food. Great meeting place.

I love this idea and concept. If you are Muslim and like coffee, how can you not go here? A VERY cool, interesting and relaxing cafe inside the masjid. The coffee is pretty good. They also have a choice of sandwiches and pastries. I always try to go here when I come to Boston.

good place fair prices. Great location being convenient inside masjid. The wifi works but isnt the fastest and the tea and coffee is excellent.

This is a very nice cafe, and I like that it is in the masjid. They have wifi, and the coffee is very nice.

Masha'Allah, I love this cafe. It's located right inside the ISBCC masjid, so there's no doubt about whether it's halal or not (there are signs that confirm it is halal). They have plenty of coffees and teas, and an assortment of baked goods made in the cafe (their spinach and cheese croissants are AMAZING). There are also four types of sandwiches to choose from; the "Sabrina", a baguette stuffed with chicken, basil, roasted red peppers, and mayo, is extremely popular (and my personal favorite). What's best about this cafe, though, is its commitment to social services. There is a system there that allows for people to donate money into a pool so anyone who is hungry but doesn't have enough money can eat. Like the suq at the ISBCC, all the profits go for upkeep and masjid programs. It is a very open, welcoming place, and I often see non-Muslims from the neighborhood hanging around eating and enjoying the relaxed atmosphere. Free wi-fi is available. I would highly recommend this cafe to anyone; come show your support for this new business that maintains good morals and serves great food!
