Coffee is good, spot is comfortable, breakfast burrito is excellent. Great option in this neighborhood.

$4.30 for an out of the mill small drop coffee , just about average quality. Disappointing

Nice place, pretty good coffee. Kind staff! However, they close (door locked) every single day over 15 minutes before closing time. 3 pm is already the earliest closing time for a coffee shop in all of cambridge…. Would be great if they stayed open until closing.

I’m happy to pay american prices if the coffee is good and the baristas are nice. Not the case here 😇

On several occasions, at both Cambridge and Arlington locations, Barismo has closed early with no warning. I travel far to buy coffee there during business hours only to find people inside, doors locked and no explanation. This strikes me as the action of a business that has no respect for its customers.

Favorite cold brew in the city!

Solid little neighborhood cafe in Mid-Cambridge.
Dropped by a couple times after work, and both times, the vibe was super chill. It’s located in a quiet residential pocket, so you won’t see many students cramming for finals. Instead, it’s mostly locals reading, chatting, or just enjoying the calm vibes. Plenty of open seats even during the peak lunch hours.
Barismo clearly take their coffee seriously. Full roasting setup/equipment and a bunch of kegs to store freshly brewed coffee. Unfortunately, my nitro cold brew was from the tail end of the keg, so it lacked some of the aroma, but still had a nice velvety body and those signature bubbles on top. Definitely trying a fresher pour next time.
Food is pretty simple here, but everything I’ve tried was solid. No frills, just warm and satisfying. The burrito could’ve used more salsa or hot sauce, but the quesadilla plate came with curried cauliflowers that added a nice twist. Prices are fair, portions are reasonable, and the whole place just feels unpretentious.
Still doesn’t top Cicada or Pepita for me, but if you’re nearby, it’s a good option.

Good food but there is no free WiFi hotspot. How in this age can there be a cafe with no free WiFi availability???

Only ok. Wouldn’t go back when there are better options. Coffee is alright, but not good. Service nonexistent. Atmosphere really lacking.

Their coffee beans are awesome. The freshest beans I’ve been able to get in the Boston area. Also tried a latte there which was very good.
Great coffee, and really excellent tea that they import themselves.
Solid croissants, and I like the granola bars!

Big empty abandoned space with no WiFi, watered down coffee, unfriendly staff. They should close. Too bad since it’s at the end of my street. Why go there when there are so many lively places just down Broadway.
