Peter SalemJuly 22, 2018Sandwiches, salads, breakfast and coffee. For its location, not too busy on the weekends, pop in for a bite or a drink to get some work down, try the Baystate

Dimitris SpiliakosJuly 8, 2018The whites chocolate mochas are a staple. Their breakfast wraps, particularly the Hecto and Chipotle, are also very tasty.Upvoted Mar 28
Michael ClarkeFebruary 3, 2014Had the hot chocolate today and it was great, and had an artistic swirl. They also take level up and have a friendly atmosphere ☕️
Check out their hilariously passive-aggressive signage while waiting for your drink, which is usually very well prepared. Tunapple wrap is amazing!Upvoted Mar 26
Neel HajareJuly 26, 2018“Sunny” breakfast sandwich, BLT, and cortado were all ok but not special enough to come back for
Miraj ShahOctober 10, 2015Good coffee, solid breakfast sandwiches, great place to sit and talk or study. A student favorite.
I love the food, but they need to incorporate more parallel preparation as it seems they make each sandwich in serial. Missed so many busses for a simple bagel!
Andrew RohmFebruary 27, 2017Comfy couches and space for sitting with a book and delicious coffee drinks.
Amanda O.July 5, 2012The ginger lemonade is the best on a hot day. My favorite cafe to sit at with a good book.
Tirdad KiamaneshJuly 16, 2017The Pearson sandwich is good, the cafe is okay. But the internet is limited to 1 hour and you have to pay after that with is 👎
Don't let the giant painting of an avocado fool you. There are none in the kitchen, on your sandwich, or atop your salad.
RachelJune 4, 2015Wi-Fi is $5 for an hour, $8 for a day. You can get a coupon for 1 hour when you make a purchase.
chai tea.. leather couch.. scrabble.. friends. best rainy saturday.
Say hi to True Grounds owner Amy if you come in around your morning commute... Then grab a bean burrito. They. Are. Awesome.
Hallie Verrier SullivanJuly 10, 2011came here on a sunny saturday when the lines for breakfast across the street were too long. get the bean burrito! filling and delicious!- The Pearson sandwich is probably the option here. Although they are all pretty good.
Best espresso in Somerville. And in the summer try the Moroccan mint iced tea!
Chase MaxwellSeptember 1, 2011True Grounds has gone downhill in the past two years. They use to have the best espresso, even beating out Diesel, its local competitor.
Anna OswaldJuly 20, 2010Free wi-fi and best coffee in the area. Also great sandwiches. Seating may be a problem especially during the day time.
ginger chai gelato for dessert, or just because.. it's that good.
They carry gluten free items that you do not see everyday. Today I saw scones and biscotti.- grab a coffee card by the register: buy ten, get one free!
Carries TaraBella's vegan desserts... when I don't buy them out!
Alas, the wifi is no longer free, and, on weekends, it's off until 3pm. DON'T let this deter you from a still-fabulous place!!
Sign up with level up and use it here!! Also the Pearson is delicious
Try their sandwiches named after streets and you will never be capable of going to another place for sandwiches named after streets.
There is no free wi fi on weekend mornings, but there's always a table available.

"Tons of space to work, study or read. Love the open kitchen. Try the most popular sandwich: Terrace, a delish combo of turkey, cheddar, avocado, garlic mayonnaise (YUM) & tomato on focaccia."
Sonia S - 6.2
"Fast internet, lots of power outlets, and a long community seating table. Usually this is a very busy location! Great service! You are lucky to get an armchair by the fireplace!"
Paul Nederhoed - 7.5
"Great espresso, and amazingly fresh food. The owner clearly takes the menu very seriously so coffee and food is top notch. Love the vibe of the space: a wonderful place to hang out and caffeinate."

"The donuts are some of my favorites anywhere. They taste like your childhood memories of what donuts tasted like - pure, unadulterated, happiness. Also love the ruggelach when they have them."

"The Eggs Bene with a Bloody Mary (or Bloody Caesar) is a combination to die for--try it!"
