I wanted to stop by as it was my first time in Medford, here's what I noticed... - dirty dishes everywhere - someone who must've been the manager, speaking very disrespectful to a customer who was simply asking for the WiFi password and couldn't figure it out - the baristas were cold and condescending, didn't seem too engaged with anyone - my breakfast sandwich was bland and overpriced, barely warmed - avocado toast was okay, nothing special I wouldn't recommend coming back here do to it's mediocrity and unfriendly staff

My favorite cafe in Somerville- super nice staff, great food options (vegetarian friendly also), and fantastic lattes. Always a fun music selection playing and nice vibe as well. Highly recommend!

Limited vegetarian options. Chai tea was not warm enough. Service was good. As well as vibe.

I loooved studying at Tamper when I was at Tufts. Such a great vibe with good music and friendly service.The breakfast quesadilla is super flavorful, definitely my go-to order (albeit a little messy to eat). The avocado smash, egg on the mash, and egg sandwich are incredible too.Their blueberry and chocolate chip scones are some of the best scones I’ve ever had.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps

My go-to neighbor cafe for tea lattes and coffee! Huge fan of their iced matcha latte with oat milk and their iced chais. My partner loves their espresso over ice, too. If you're in the mood for some easy, affordable breakfast options, they've got you covered there too.

Food woukd not be recommended, quesadilla was drawing in oil, portions weren't cut through completely so you had to tear pieces to eat, and the pickled carrots on the side didn't fit and were too overpowering for the meal. Hot cocoa was watered down and too much cinnamon.Service was good, quick and brought to table cards.Atmosphere is nice for cafe socializing or light work/reading.Dietary restrictions: Does not completely follow dietary restrictions. A person in my dining party ordered to exclude wheat toast and dairy, the kitchen excluded wheat but not dairy and had to remake the dish.

A quick walk from tufts campus, a solid place for sizable portions of good food! Most notably, BLT had a fantastic house sauce that didn't overpower the simplicity of the sandwich, and the avocado toast with the sun dried tomatoes was a creamy burst of flavor. The latte was great with a bit of honey and whole milk, a huge cup. The baristas were helpful in their recommendations! They did inform me that they don't have any syrups, if you're into flavored drinks, and their alternative milks are only oat. Plenty of space to sit with very large windows and outlets for students to study and people to chat.

Update: an employee, Chris, sent me this extremely unprofessional message after my review. These are the types of people that run this place! TLDR: I didn't know food couldn't be brought in because of improper signage, and was accosted at the establishment.

Been here multiple times and always had a great experience overall. Really love the vibe. Awesome vinyls on the wall every time, and like the music playing. Every drink and food item I've tried was great.

Awesome food and quick preparation. But 30 minutes later I still don’t have my latte. I try to be patient, but it seems like half an hour is a pretty long time to make a latte. Nice place overall, I definitely wouldn’t come back though. They don’t make you feel very welcome.
