22 Best Cafes in Somerville

“This is probably my favorite place in Somerville. The staff is always incredibly nice. The food is always freshly prepared and tastes amazing. Strawberry jam bars, blueberry scones, apple cider muffins, AND MOLASSES COOKIES (when available) are great. Can't go wrong with an egg, cheese & sausage pepper biscuit.“

“It's the best cheesecake I've ever had! I got the ube cheesecake and the Thai tea. Absolutely delicious incredible texture and flavor! Only reason it doesn't get a 5 out of 5 stars on atmosphere cuz there just was no room to even walk around with how many people there were sitting in there. other than that absolutely fantastic I will be back for the cheesecake 100%“

“This is a gem for a breakfast spot! The owner and his son are very friendly and generous. The food tasted amazing. We had the florentine omelet that was on special amongst other things and everything tasted amazing! The place is very cozy and overall highly recommended! Will definitely be coming back!“

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

“Very cute & cozy cafe.
I had the mango Lassi & veg puff, and they were both delicious.
Also tried the Chilli Parotta, and it was so good!

They routinely have special South Indian combo meals, and the food is so traditional & homely.

Love the interior design, especially on the ceiling. It blends culture into a unique cafe experience.“

“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.“

“Had a vanilla latte with almond milk and it was great. Not bitter and very flavorful and smooth. They offer oat and almond milk, but l do wish they offered soy as well.

The coffeeshop is in the lower level of a co-working space. It is very spacious and has multiple types of seating (long wooden table, small tables for two, and multiple fancy cushioned chairs with short coffee tables in the middle). There’s also art being sold in one part which is an open space and makes the overall coffeeshop feel much larger and airier. The coffeeshop was neither too empty nor too full. The music was very low, if there at all, so it provides a quiet environment conducive to working, studying, etc.“

“A cozy neighborhood café with quick service and genuinely friendly staff. I have had their breakfast sandwiches and chicken salad sandwiches multiple times, Ofcourse coffee and they’re consistently good. Easy place to keep coming back to.“

“Spacious cafe with super cute indoor seating and a green outdoor seating area.

I got a breakfast sandwich on a bagel with tempeh bacon (that was great). Latte was also yummy and split a brown butter chocolate chip cookie (tasty and sweet). Would definitely come back, wish it was closer to where I lived!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Great coffee. Delightful owners“

“Breakfast sandwiches are a hobby of mine and this one is top-tier. They also have a window so you don’t have to go inside and it’s always very fast and so delicious fresh English muffins absolutely delicious English muffin pizzas ! 10 outta 10“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“I’m obsessed with Juliet. The vibes in there are so welcoming and cute, and the service is amazing. The only thing i wish was different was that their food portions could be a bit bigger/more filling. I also found their chai latte to not be sweet enough, but they have a lot of options for syrups to add“

“Order a banh mi sandiwch from Saigon Tiger, a new store on Relish. 1st delivery is late, not a good start from a new relish venue. hopefully the food is better than the prep for the delivery. Got my BBQ pork Bahn Mi dleivered not as late as was suggested by Relish. It was delicious, nice portion, great bread, plenty of jalapenos. Definitely will order again.“

“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.“
