Martín Caballero: Third wave coffee at its most Cambridge-ish. Great rotating selection of single origin espressos. Nice big open windows looking out on to Kirkland Street. Beans roasted in-house
Sophia H: Oatmeal meal is fantastic! Really hits the spot for a warm, filling breakfast. Espresso is solid. Matcha latte is the real deal here - not sweet at all, just bitter (like true matcha).
Lauren Christopher: Best coffee in Somerville! They have specialty lattes, amazing brunch and a sweet ambiance. Lookout for their coffee tastings!

Brendon Smith: This is a great little coffee shop that serves Counter Culture beans. They have the best batch drip coffee in the city, with free refills! Chow down on a liege waffle if you get hungry.
T B: A lovely, relaxed, cozy spot. Great beats. Belgian waffles are absolutely delicious. Warm, doughy, not too sweet. Small space. Lots of light. Similar to White Electric in PVD.
Jordi Llobet: A macchiato and a waffle. Amazing coffee! Don't expect anything over your waffle, it's good enough without it!
Linda Gómez: Best Espresso around!!! Delicious, healthy and comfortable food. Very nice staff and ambiance! I will definitely go back!
Agata Wisniowska: Cozy, great avocado toast, smoothies and artisan deserts
Erkan Saka: A very cute, small cafe. I hear that its Turkish coffee is good. You might also hear some Turkish music. Not easy to find the most comfortable sits but worth stopping by.
Brendon Smith: There is a surprising dearth of specialty coffee in Harvard Square, so this Blue Bottle location is a welcome addition. Enjoy one of the excellent made-to-order drinks in a bright, harmonious space.
Daryl Pritchard: Even after being purchased by Nestlé they still make a consistently good cup of coffee.
Ashwag A. Z: ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👏

Mike Wonho Hong: Been to a lot of coffee shops. Their espresso is some of the smoothest and best. The Gibraltar (cortado) is fantastic and served in a shot glass. I drive from Brookline just to get it with my wife.
Tristan: They really love making (and talking about) coffee. It comes through in their espresso, which is hands-down the best in the entire Boston area.
Christopher Young: One of the best Mocha's around.
