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“

“Great spot for coffee and croffle! I’m a fan of the cloud foam latte.

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!“

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

“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!“

“I just devoured the Cubano sandwich...absolutely delicious, and perfectly satisfying. And now I get to kick back with a cup of what is unquestionably the best coffee in town. MAN, do I love this place.....“

“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 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 ?“

“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“

“Staff are nice and have good service“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“enjoyed a nice cappuccino“

“I had the hot egg, ham and cheese with spinach. It was very good. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted. So, there are a few more things on the menu to bring me back. Staff was nice, the place was clean with free Wi-Fi. Definitely recommend“

“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,“

“Great close by coffee shop. Loved it.“

“Great bowls and chai latte ☕️“

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

“I love this place very friendly staff“

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

“This cute little place was on my wishlist of places to visit, and we stumbled upon it today to escape the heat. The tea was so good and refreshing, and I love the small but very intentional and creative menu. The staff are so sweet, and the space is welcoming. I recommend it!“

“Jeff is the best! First time in the area, and just needed a quick bite/iced coffee on a hot afternoon before seeing a show. Didn’t want to risk being late so when we saw this Dunkins as we walked towards the theater, we stopped in. Kids were indecisive but Jeff was patient with them, and just an overall joy to be around. When we travel, we look for dining we can’t experience at home but sometimes you are treated to a few minutes of friendly service at a regular chain and it makes your day! This will be our go-to when we return to the area. Thank you, Jeff!“

“This cozy coffee shop is located in Cambridge, Boston, near the Red Line Central Station. Enjoy a cup of hot coffee and desserts in the store, which is very comfortable and enjoyable. This time I took away a cup of brewed coffee for 20z, which was not bad.

- Free WIFI; lots of variety seating
- One of the top coffee shops in the area“

“Incredible experience at Intelligentsia Watertown. I rarely say this, but I just had the best pour-over in Boston. The beans were the Peru Rayos Del Sol Geisha, brewed by their talented barista Sabrina. They use Origami drippers to brew pour-overs here. Not to mention, all the baristas are so friendly and very helpful. I will definitely come 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“

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

“Area Four at one kendall is a delight! definitely a smaller food menu than the main location, but the same great A4 flavors. I don't drink coffee, but I love the tea and tea latte options :) the best baristas, chefs, and a lovely manager!!“
