Jaryn WilcoxAugust 21, 2015Their hearty sandwiches are awesome and I have yet to have a bad time here. The lattes and Mexican hot chocolate are yummy! Can get crowded and loud, but it's a staple of downtown waltham! Be patient!
Beth BudnerMarch 23, 2020Very cozy & friendly staff here! The only minor change I'd recommend is possibly more gelato flavors (i.e. Hazelnut) which I've been enjoying a lot since my Springboard Rome & Florence trip.
Ryan ClareDecember 20, 2012Lattes here are always made just right and the service is great. There are some great food choices as well. Cassie is the best employee by far, always so cheerful and energetic!
Kristine F.September 19, 2012The best homemade scones, the birdwatcher's blend coffee is great, but I LOVE that you can get a pot of tea for practically pennies and watch the world go by!! Love it!
Has the look and feel of a great cafe, but it's not quite there. The Internet is pretty weak. All in all I like coming here once in a while to work, it's the only place you can do that in Waltham.- This is not a fast food coffee shop. This is gourmet coffee, fresh baked pastries, and made-to-order sandwiches, wraps and salads. You want something quick, go to DD or McDs.
Francois RejeteOctober 25, 2014I loved the blueberry and banana scone, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside
Homemade quiche & specialty teas & coffee are a draw. Also a great place to let young children play with some books & toys.
Jeremy KrantzSeptember 15, 2014They have free Wi-Fi, good coffee and friendly service. Plenty of seating too. What else do you need?- Joe RussoSeptember 29, 2014Very socially and environmentally conscious. Good coffee. Ice cream in season. Lots of healthy food options too.
- Wifi can be spotty. Outlets are loose and don't hold plugs well. Coffee & food are great!
Everything is awesome, but sandwiches take FOREVER to make. Especially during the lunch rush.
Friday mornings from 8:30 to 10:00 is Innovation Breakfast in the side room. Join in and talk with other entrepreneurs & Innovators. See InnovationBreakfast.com for more info
There is a wheat free oatmeal peanut butter bar that's good. But don't trust it if you're a very sensitive gluten free person.- Since you're in the area, stop by Studio Crossings @ 14 Spring Street. Great co-working space. Wi-fi and FREE coffee!
Debra AskanaseAugust 1, 2013Free wifi. Medium roast coffee is killer! Best coffee in Waltham, hands down.
- Steve QuezadaAugust 26, 2009Do try the Ring of Fire iced coffee. For a light lunch, the mixed green salad with a 7-grain roll are just right.
Jonathan BlairJune 2, 2015Weird knock off La Marzocco, and average espresso. Worth trying if your nearby but don't go out of your way.- Best oatmeal raisin cookies EVER! Also, spicy chicken burrito is delish!
- Pastries and cakes are pricey, worth the treat. They also sell ice cream seasonally.
