6 Best Coffee Shops near Melrose

“To paraphrase Han Solo, "What a wonderful smell I discovered!"“

“The food and drinks are very good... making you're own breakfast sandwich is a game-changer.. all of the food is great. The only downfall that keeps me from going more frequently is they don't have regular iced coffee. They have regular hot coffee, flavored iced coffee (decaf, hazelnut, french vanilla), and they have cold brew.. no regular iced coffee, which seems like a very simple thing to just not have when you have like 100 types of lattes lol... I get the cold brew when I do go, but its a once in a while thing, can't do cold brew all the time.“

“Everything you buy here will be absolutely fantastic.

I personally find the atmosphere a bit cold and bright and it could be cozier (although my wife wouldn't change it). Also, they quickly run out of stuff so you may not always get what you hoped for.“

“Although Starbucks is a international chain, I feel this Starbucks is more of a local staple. I have seen familiar faces over the years going here and despite the poor decisions that Starbucks leadership have made with their menu, the staff here do a fantastic job accommodating the customers. The employees are friendly and my wife and I always feel welcome and enjoy the ambient atmosphere at this location. I do not go to Starbucks much anymore since they changed their menu for the worse in early 2025; however, I do go on occasion now solely because I enjoy the service and atmosphere at this location.“

“The Caffè Nero in Melrose might be one of the best Caffè Nero locations!

☕️ Americano = best coffee! Get the single origin option!
Bacon Breakfast Roll = the best breakfast sandwich!

The breakfast sandwich options are better and more delicious than what Starbucks across the street makes.

While it can get very busy, especially on weekends, I highly recommend ordering through their mobile app.“

“Love this place. Outstanding. And the baguettes are outstanding.“
