Update 10/5/24
I've been back a few time and they've added more items to their menu. I still think they have the best croffle in Boston. Their pistachio latte comes. which comes with a delicious layer of sweet foam, is heavenly!“

“super friendly!! helpful in selecting coffee and grinds!!“

“A specialty coffee restaurant located in Cambridge, Boston. In addition to selling coffee and meals, the store also sells its own craft beer. You can not only enjoy beer in the store, but you can also take beer home. This time I ordered hot Americano and Kouign Amann. The coffee tastes mellow and delicious, and the slightly sweet icing on the outside of the creamy Oman is paired with the creamy mille-feuille, giving it a rich and delicious taste.

“This place is awesome, pastries are delicious too and very pretty decorated for the Christmas season“

“This joint's got some serious culinary cred, tossing taro into the mix. It's a short stroll from my place, and curiosity got the better of me. Thankfully, the menu delivered. Only downside: the tiny space feels cluttered, earning it 3 atmosphere stars. And, seriously, that trash can outside needs some serious de-stinking action - a good cleaning and a discreet relocation, stat! On the bright side, the staff is fantastic - friendly, helpful, and totally on it. the crew's awesome -
Too bad the stench kept us from dining al fresco.
the plants ? could use some love water them please ?“

“Today I was visiting the ICA Watershed with friends. We knew we would stop for lunch somewhere when we stumbled upon Aloe Natural Açaí & Coffee Shop. What a gem! Colorful and warm atmosphere, friendly, welcoming service and unbelievably healthy and oh so delicious food. It’s worth a visit or two - we’ll be going back!“

“Staff are nice and have good service“

“Lots of attention given to drink preparation. Downside is longer what time for service.
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

Wheelchair accessibility: Step to access store front“

“Excellent coffee. Partial to the French breakfast muffins.“

“The hype is so real. My first time trying Vietnamese iced coffee, and turns out it is amazing. They have an EXTREMELY cute patio in the back. I got the sai gon espresso latte, iced, and my friend got the hai noi honey mousse. Both were absolutely delicious, and the hai noi honey mousse was very unique. The palmier was good, and my friend loved the banh mi she got. I will go back any chance I get.“

“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!“

“It's hard to find a good European coffee place, especially here in Boston. So many of those "authentic" cafes in North End suck, having the overly roasted burnt taste in their espressos. At Kicco, you will find the moka pot like smoothness in the taste. As a coffee enthusiast, I highly recommend their coffee. Best European coffee in Boston, no doubt!“

“This the small trendy neighborhood cafe that Brighton so desperately needed. Such a welcoming space that I always note is filled with coolest looking people. Went into today and found that it was the busiest id ever seen it, line to door, every seat filled and I have to say the staff was absolutely crushing it. Friendly and polite, hustling to get orders out but not seeming flustered in the slightest. I expected to have to wait a while for my sandwich and coffee based on the number of people in there but it surprisingly took less time than usual. Great spot and great service.“

“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.“

“Tiny shop with big flavors!!! My oat milk matcha with strawberry was delicious, and I had a fluffy, rice-flour (gluten-free) chiffon cake filled with red beans and a topped with a matcha cream. Delicious!!!

They also have tiny cookie samples of their shortbread cookies.

There are two seats along a bar at the window.

The place is wholly accessible and local people post their businesses here so it has a very neighborhood feel to it!

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs.“

“Delicious food and great coffee drinks! Excellent service from everyone and a super cute space —- highly recommend!“

“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.“

“This was our second time, dining here, and we loved everything about it. The food is delicious, healthy, and light. We shared the mezze plate, a sampler of hummus, baba ghanoush, and mahumara. We also shared the falafel bowl and a strawberry fattoush salad. It was more than enough for two people. It’s a wonderful addition to the North End dining scene!“

“Such a fantastic brunch spot! Food and staff did not disappoint!! we went back twice. will definitely visit again!“

“excellent teaching, worshipful music; sound doctrine“

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

“Excellent customer service, food, and coffee flavors! I come here every week on lunch break, could not recommend more.“

“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 food and coffee and tea! Friendly staff! Beautiful atmosphere with lots of light and pleasing design.“

“When in Boston you must come here! The service here is amazing and the coffee is always brewed to perfection! The thing i like best is the owner Marilda really loves what she does and it shows! Her love for the business and the way it’s run shows in the baristas she hires. Such pleasant people!“

“The Honey Hybrid coffee is DELICIOUS!!“

“i have gone here more than any other cafe in the world and i have lived in somerville for less than a year. this is my go-to spot when someone asks to meet for coffee. i will continuously update with more pictures (i often forget to take them) but here are reviews of everything ive eaten/drunk at 3 little figs.

overall: their prices are truly unbeatable for the quality. the most expensive coffee drink is a $5 mocha and a $4.5 latte and everything is lower than those two. incredible. their matcha latte is $4.5, chai is $4.5, london fog $4. yeah they’re my goat for this

pastries:
- apple cider donut muffin: i think of her constantly. beautifully spiced and a little crunchy on the outside but so melt in your mouth decadent on the inside. a wonderful donut in the shape of a muffin. she’s also like $3.50 or something nuts like that
- lavender biscuit: I also think of her constantly. crispy but airy but dense and slightly salty biscuit with the most yummy lavender glaze. ginormous for $3.5
- chai muffin: really soft and airy, the espresso icing is so delicious. i do not think of her all the time but she is what she says she is. the icing makes it so cupcake like but it’s the right amount of icing. for $3 im pogging
- goat cheese scone: YUM. it’s their biscuit again, huge, and has pieces of goat cheese that is salty and delicious. a great savoury pastry option
- chocolate pistachio cookie: she is DENSE. she is buttery. she is not that chewy. if that is what you’re into. just a very good warm dense cookie with melty chocolate

food:
- ricotta toast: ive only had it sweet here (cinnamon and honey) and it kickstarted my love for ricotta. airy, creamy, perfect sweetness, incredibly flavourful yet soft sourdough. banger. she’s $6 and a gateway to other toasts
- market sandwich: ive had better but i still enjoyed it (pic) - $11 is the steepest you can get at 3 little figs and this is it! it’s good though, and don’t sleep on the fig jam
- breakfast sandwiches: yum yum yum and smell so incredibly good. for $6 for a filling beautifully and artisanal crafted breakfast sandwich? aw yea. black pepper biscuit with sausage is the goat

cons:
- seating is ez if u come early in the morning like i do. if not then yea it’s hard
- too awesome
- not gate kept. because they deserve all the love and popularity

even more pros:
- free awesome water on tap (still and sparkling)
- swag too different, service too good, food too fresh, life is awesome“

“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.“

“Superb very slight fruity and more caramel flavor coffee w the right amount of roast - excellent macaroons, recommend the orange chocolate. The baristas know their art and make the coffee or latte just as you need . The seating is fun and lively crowd - great meeting spot.“

“Great customer service, some of the best coffee, great waffle, will visit again!“

“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“

“Went to duck donuts in walpole for the first time, I will absolutely be coming back the staff were amazing!! I have to give a special shout out to the donut maker who made my daughter’s day with a free little duck! Donuts were so warm and yummy. These staff deserve all the tips! Nothing bad about my experience today (Saturday 11/2)“

“Nice environment and good service. Food is also good“

“The best food and service!“

“Exceptionally friendly and customer-focused staff. Staff exceptionally friendly with superb customer service. If you’re looking for a rich, frothy, perfectly crafted cappuccino, look for Melissa!“

“Was here for the first time today and found this place to be the best of coffee shops in the area. I previously worked in a coffee shop which unfortunately closed during covid. It was known for its excellent coffee and pastries. Miss it and this is the only place I've visited that is just as good. I highly recommend people to check it out. Also, very friendly staff. I believe I was waited on by the owner.“

“Had my 1st time order of their Hawaiian Grilled Cheese; YUMS! I was taken back from their use of BBQ sauce, makes the sandwich super sweet, but honestly, I'd order it again!“
