Coffee Shops near Newton Upper Falls

“Well, the visit wasn’t seller there’s a coffee is good. This guy thought you knew everything but screwed up every coffee for every person around me. I had to walk him through how to make my coffee. His name is Fred and definitely needed help. The manager made sure to let everybody know that she was changing the trash and was useless. Liam was awesome as always and the coffee is good which is why I go back.“

“Went for the first time and everything was great!!“

“Great coffee. Delightful owners“

“A great gem my daughter and I went to while she was visiting from California . The monkey bread muffin definitely a treat along with the peanut butter explosion coffee Thank you for your kindness“

“Best cortado that I have had in Boston for sure. Such a great coffee shop. Love the cleanliness and decoration as well.“

“I’ve been here a few times now and have always had a great time. It’s clean, quiet and because it’s at the mall, parking is never an issue. The coffee is delicious and smooth and it’s the best cappuccino I’ve had in Boston. Desserts are great too. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Honestly, zero complaints. I like coming here.“

“Nice pastry’s and good location“

“One of our fav spots when we visited Boston! The eggs Benedict was so full of flavor that I just wanted to lick the sauce. The food came out super fast despite the long lines. The citrus arugula salad was a perfect balance to the Benedict. Yummm I can’t wait to go back and have some more next time I’m in Boston!“

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“

“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!“

“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“

“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 🤤“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Fantastic breakfast! Best in Boston hands down.“

“My husband and I had the cornbread, raspberry currant muffin, cold brew flight, carnitas taco, elote taco, and avocado tostado. All of it was amazing and affordable!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Great close by coffee shop. Loved it.“

“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.“

“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“

“Also gluten and dairy free baked muffins, bread and so on“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“The Honey Hybrid coffee is DELICIOUS!!“

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

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

“You can’t get these drinks anywhere else. The Sipping Room is in its own lane, nothing like any other basic cafe in Boston. The level of care and consideration for the menu is commendable. I so recommend this spot if you’re in the area.“

“Got recommended a flat white after drinking cappuccinos for the last 5 years, and haven’t gone back - thank you, knowledgeable baristas :) Best local coffee shop there is.“

“Julio was awesome! Didn't know Dunkin offered sugar-free sweeteners 😋.“

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

“enjoyed a nice cappuccino“

“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!“

“Great bowls and chai latte ☕️“

“Known for their coffee, but they have very earthy and delicious matcha too, and their latte art is impressive!

Fully accessible (though seating is a bit congested, so I didn’t stay to eat).

Friendly and efficient service.

Parking on both sides of street out front.

I do think, friendly advice, that the pastries would be more visually appealing with a touch of color. Everything was brown.

Maybe include a few items that naturally have some color: berries in a muffin or scone, lemon bars, seven-layer bars, macrons, etc, or decorate the case with some fresh picked herbs or flowers.

It just…everything on the counter was brown. As a baker and former cafe owner, I saw possibility :-).

The matcha with almond milk was good. I definitely would add honey next time as it was very not sweet, but it was good.

Wheelchair accessibility: Fully accessible,“

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

“amazing pastries!! nice people and very good coffee. I will be back!“

“Crazy busy, but a phenomenal tea collection! They have Spirit and Kilogram teas.

I got to try two, and they were both delicious!!!

Ramp access makes it accessible.

Everyone was friendly and service was efficient.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp“

“Wow, we are impressed. You all are fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable all home cooked super fresh Indian food. It was absolutely wonderful. They helped with all of our choices and we got to speak to them about their culture and where they were from absolutely wonderful. We will be eating there again. The place is very clean. Everyone is super super friendly I can’t say enough good things my husband and I are foodies. This is definitely a 10 out of 10.“

“Very friendly Fast Clean Good food Good price“

“Good matcha and savory croissants are awesome“

“Deliciousness!!! You made my day! 😁🌯“

“Nice place best staff. Great place to handle your banking biz and sit and have a good cup of joe !!!!“

“My coworker drives from the North Shore for these croissants and I’m glad I finally tried them. I think the almond croissant and regular croissant are very good. The apple turnover was okay. I’m sure the canele is good too, but I think mine was very slightly underbaked. Will definitely come back.“

“A hidden gem in Cambridge: I have been there several times. It’s a very authentic place with delicious food and drinks. Everything is freshly made in front of you. The staff is very friendly and they have a great attention to details.

Love that they have bicycle benefits and also that you get a piece chocolate with the espresso ?“
