19 Best Cafes in Somerville

“I started going here in 2020 and slowly became obsessed. Best bakery and cafe in Somerville. The vibes of the staff are phenomenal but additionally the food and tea are to die for. I always get the London fog with vanilla and the vegan egg cheddar sandwich. Don’t forget to try to banana tajin muffin!!“

“My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience at Juliet for breakfast this morning! Jamie was our server, they were fantastic - super knowledgeable about allergies (highly recommend anyone with celiac disease like me or a gluten sensitivity come here, almost the entire menu can be made gluten free!!) so I felt very safe eating here, and they even surprised us with a free pastry since it was our first time at Juliet. We were taken care of so well, and the food was absolutely delicious! The ambiance is fantastic as well, really great decor and the whole space felt very clean and bright. We will definitely be back!“

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

“Great coffee. Delightful owners“

“The matcha I enjoyed here was truly exceptional, the best I’ve had in ages. The cafe exudes a delightful ambiance, seamlessly blending tranquility with a lively energy. It's a charming haven where every sip feels like a moment of bliss, making it an ideal spot to unwind and savor the experience.“

“Great food and excellent service at this cute hole-in-the-wall cafe inside the Armory. Diverse breakfast, brunch, and lunch menu with very reasonable prices, tons of seating, great art displayed all around the dining area, and a cool stage for live music.“

“I come here once a week w/ my roommate. We are obsessed. On the edge of my seat waiting to learn about the new jam and muffin of the month. I’ve got my mom who lives out of state ordering muffins monthly. People are tired of hearing me talk about how great this place is!“

“Thank you so much for delivering produce during the pandemic! You guys rock.“

“Great flavor, can’t go wrong with anything here!

The Pandan coconut cake has great coconut flavor and was light and fluffy, maybe could use a little more Pandan flavor though. The Thai tea cake had so much flavor, very strong! Also would recommend the iced Pandan drink which is perfectly refreshing for a nice day, overall a great spot for a treat or a drink!“

“Awesome food and the staff is friendly. Also the hometown Cafe atmosphere is great.“

“Ola Cafe has been a favorite stop since moving into the neighborhood a few years ago- it is the perfect place for a quick coffee and snack. The staff are next to none- are always warm, welcoming and ready to give my dog lots of love and attention. My all time favorite thing there is their orange juice- it is truly the best OJ I have had- they squeeze it by hand in front of you and despite the effort it takes to prepare- they always do it with a smile.“

“Excellent service! I highly recommend Le Macaron Boston. Their pastries are not only delicious but are served in a very clean and welcoming environment. A must go to!“

“I have been enjoying this cafe for a few years now and am still always happy with the truly friendly service along with some of the best sandwichs ever. This is comparing to other great delis around the city. Their salami, capocollo, and provolone with everything on it, on a freshly baked and grilled toasted baguette has to be honestly in my top 3 sandwiches I have ever had in my life.“

“very pleasant staff. great coffee with lots of creative in-house made flavors, syrups, and reductions available. the sandwiches are tasty and made with very fresh ingredients. the baked goods are delicious without relying on too much sweet and sugary… like, actually good.“

“Sesame bagel was delicious as was my coffee. My husband’s peach oat muffins was amazing with big chunks of peach!“

“Can’t rate this place high enough! Clean, friendly service, abundance of options, but the food? The food is beyond incredible! Had the breakfast tacos and my husband had the Colombian breakfast. Omg, it was incredible!“

“If you are ordering for pick up DO NOT use their online ordering system through Door Dash. There’s a $3 surcharge for just picking it up! I also wish the restaurant made people aware of it on Google.

My order was missing fish sauce so I called the restaurant and Molly the person I reached was really helpful in getting the situation resolved.“

“Wonderful sit down spot, large variety of gluten free desserts-brownies, cakes, tarts. Salad was great! Latte was delicious as well, way better than Starbucks in both quality and price. Mango ginger cold drink was interesting, but still good. Highly recommend Coffee Mousse, it's rich and creamy with coffee bean chunks on the side for crunch, and gluten free.“
