Chocolate eclair was ok. Chocolate caramel cake was good without blowing it out of the park.

Dietary restrictions: Some gf options such as basque cheese cake

“Ask for the Tofu Bahn Mi to be made vegan (no aioli), may be other options if you ask. The tofu is fried and super flavorful! I got a black Vietnamese coffee as well that was delicious and bold, they have oat milk for lattes and are open to customization. Small inside but nice table and bar seating, cozy atmosphere. Solid option in the area around Boston’s best art museums!“

“Very cute and cozy little coffee shop full of plants. I love the Vietnamese coffee, ginger chai latte, and matcha rose latte, and the drip coffee quality is very good. The staff is really friendly.

Some days they have music blasting at a headache inducing volume so it’s not a reliably great place to work or meet friends.“

“Got the classic Benedict with beef brisket plate. Solid all around with the highlight being the bread. Poached eggs mixed with the Brazilian bread was great.

Atmosphere is a standard cafe where you have to find your own seating after ordering. It gets quite filled on the weekends.“

“We had such a great experience tonight! First of all I love the evening atmosphere, the light does the job ❤️ Second and most important is THE FOOD! Every single small plate and main were amazing. Mango salad was our favourite. Thank you, we will definitely be back 🤤“

“So glad I found this spot! The ?coffee is incredible & it's always great to find gluten-free options for tasty treats!
Mike is a sweetheart & creates the best environment! You will leave happier than you came! Highly recommend!“

“I passed this coffee spot everyday for a whole year. I’m very iffy on coffee in Boston. It’s a miss every time. But this place was actually good! Nutella coffee actually tasted like Nutella and it’s actually people who know how to make a PROPER cup of coffee“

“great coffee!!! great vibes“

“AMAZING FOOD!! REALLY AMAZING!! A must visit if you're in Boston. Great vibe..just a fantastic all round wee place! Visiting from Scotland :-D“

“Fantastic breakfast! Best in Boston hands down.“

“The Honey Hybrid coffee is DELICIOUS!!“

“What a cute coffee shop and bakery! I had the espresso soda, a cranberry scone, and a bag of black sesame short bread. The espresso was very flavorful and well made with good crema. The baked goods are incredible, lovely textures and flavors. It's sometimes hard to find a really good scone that isn't overly sweet and this really hit the right balance. Great service as well.“

“Great close by coffee shop. Loved it.“

“Michette is a gem tucked into the ever-evolving landscape of East Somerville. From the outside, the charming signage with little cartoons holding croissants pulls you in, but it’s the feeling once you step inside that really hooks you.

Walking in, it almost feels like you’ve crossed into a different era. The rich, dark wood and bustling energy give it this kind of timeless, grounded vibe. You’ve got a crowd inside, all clearly here with purpose, as the team behind the counter works like a well-tuned orchestra, each person genuinely engaged with their craft. Watching them work—rolling dough, restocking trays—makes it feel like you’re witnessing something rare in today’s fast-paced world: people who truly enjoy what they’re creating.

In a city where larger, established bakeries often dominate, it’s inspiring to see a small, grassroots operation like Michette making its mark. There’s something special about seeing the community embrace a place that’s focused so much on quality and craft. Their strive for excellence doesn’t go unnoticed, and it’s clear that they’re pouring everything into this spot.

I tried their canelé and chocolate croissant, which lived up to their reputation. The canelé was perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and custardy within, and the chocolate croissant had these endless layers, each bite flaking away to reveal the deep chocolate tucked inside. You can taste the skill and attention that goes into these pastries; it’s obvious they’re baked with genuine love.

Michette feels like it could quickly become a contender for one of Boston’s go-to bakeries. I’ll be back soon, and if you’re a pastry lover, this place is definitely worth a visit.“

“Visiting from out of town & happened to walk by! Never had coffee with Nutella so we had to try.

The gentleman at the counter was really nice and got us our coffee as quickly as he could despite being super busy. & even followed up with us before we headed out.

Definitely will stop by again next time we are in town!“

“Honey cinnamon iced coffee + cherry-ginger scone is my favorite treat breakfast when i’m in the north end for doctors appointments!“

“Went today with my girlfriend, we had the most amazing baklava and Turkish coffee/matcha latte. The owner is the friendliest man you can find in Boston. Delicious coffee and pastries aside, I would visit this place simply for the hospitality; it was an outstanding experience.“

“Great tasting coffee and teas. The staff is very friendly. The ube cookies are wonderful. It is just what I need to get thru to the end of the work day.“

“This is the best mediterrian middle east food I ever had in my life. Everything is so fresh and so delicious and full of flavor.

“We got the muffuletta sandwich and it was SPECTACULAR! It was a new sandwich for us…the bread was perfectly paired to the style of sandwich and fresh. The meats and cheese were delicious and the olive garnish and herbs enhanced this unique taste experience. We took the sandwich to go but the restaurant was clean and relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and fast service.“

“I started going here in 2020 and slowly became obsessed. Best bakery and cafe in Somerville. The vibes of the staff are phenomenal but additionally the food and tea are to die for. I always get the London fog with vanilla and the vegan egg cheddar sandwich. Don’t forget to try to banana tajin muffin!!“

“Solid ground cafe has one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. My son has frequent inpatient stays at Childrens. This is the perfect quick walk to get a great breakfast and coffee.“

“smooth latte, nice to have a decaffeinated lattee.“

“One Mighty Mill in Lynn, MA is awesome. Very clean, staff is friendly. Tony and Julio went above and beyond to make my residents feel welcome. Tony did an overview of how the mill works and answered all the questions we had. Great bagels !“

“We had a small get together at Bits and bites cafe.. The staff was so courteous and knowledgeable.. breakfast and sweet treats were top notch. Please consider Bits and Bites for your next cafe, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Heidi’s House of Coffee is an Oasis in a Food Court full of Fast Food corporate types of restaurants. The coffee is great, pastries are great, and the service from Heidi is second to none. Everything is individualized to your liking. Start your day with a friendly hello, the best coffee, and a genuine smile. You won’t go wrong. Dave“

“I absolutely LOVE this place. We have so many brunch options in the area, but THIS is the right choice remember I said it. The mini donuts are a dream. I literally dreamt about them 🤣 Brussel sprouts are mouth watering & the apple cinnamon pancakes are out of this world! The breakfast sandwich is on a cheddar biscuit… nuff said! The service was so outstanding I didn’t have to ask for anything! They made me feel like I was family 💜 I will be back for dinner, which is just as great as brunch but for brunch look no further! The decor is something special as well. I posted a few pics but please go check it out for yourself. You won’t regret it! PS they love my dog. Spoiled her the entire time! lol 💜“

“Great coffee & some of the best breakfast sandwiches in all of Boston“

“A perfect place for a friends lover! This cozy cafe was filled with references and hospitality. The manager Aaron was extremely kind to my husband and I. He really made us feel welcome in Boston. The food was delicious and the portions were huge! I recommend the house roast and the salmon bagel.“

“Staff are nice and have good service“

“Great food! Make sure to try the Pizza breakfast sandwich - open faced sourdough bread with pizza sauce, an egg, and pizza cheese. Delicious, and even heated up the yolk was still a little runny. Excellent coffee and english muffins as well.

My only criticism is that they need more help - there were 3 people in line and only one person serving customers. I could hear more people in back, but had to wait quite some time as the person in front of me had a large order.“
