29 Best Coffee Shops in Somerville

“Great coffee. Delightful owners“

“Fig is the best! Their takeout window basically got me through the pandemic, and I feel very lucky that this is my local. As a certified scone-hater, their blueberry scone is the best I've ever had. I recommend their lattes, smoothies, breakfast sandwiches (the cheddar cheese is SHARP), and chia pudding. Their lunch sandwiches are also great. 10/10 for staff, vibes, food, and coffee.“

“we were visiting Boston for a few days and were staying close to Michette. We would go there every morning for breakfast and it was such a beautiful discovery. The vegan guava roll and focaccia… so so delicious! The vegan pastries made by Michette were the best ones I had so far. Thank you to the friendly and welcoming staff!“

“Highly recommend stopping by Wicked Cafe in Somerville! Coffee ☕️, tea 🫖 , food 🍲 and hospitality are top notch! Mike was fantastic! 🤩👍🏽“

“Great vibe - I read about the bank part but was really impressed by the patio that wasn’t just chairs and tables pushed to the curb. I don’t recommend the strawberry vanilla latte at all, it was bitter and not terribly reminiscent of either flavor, but I trust that their more classic beverages are serviceable.“

“The grilled crack was delicious. I just moved to Somerville and this was a great first impression. I give 3 stars for service because there really isn’t any, you order at a machine. It’s located in a market so cool area to check out“

“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.“

“A year ago, I tried the Salted Matcha Latte with oat milk ($7.50). It tasted just as good as my favorite matcha place but was less bang for my buck (smaller and more expensive). Came back recently to try the new Plum Pineapple Matcha Latte ($7.50), and it was not nearly as good, as I could not taste the matcha at all this time (even though the color looked promising), so I am bumping down a star.

Also, it seems like they do not properly—or unevenly—adjust the matcha ratio if you order the 16oz, as you end up with a much milkier drink that will dilute the matcha, so I suggest ordering the 12oz.“

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

“I’ve come here many times and get the same combo. The iced coffee is refreshing and easy to drink. I can’t speak to the barista coffee. I like the fact that I saw the coffee being percolated for the iced coffee. The sandwiches are the winner. The crunchy bread, the peppers, the cheese and meat, it’s overall a well made sandwich that rings true to the name of the cafe, rustic French vibes. The staff have always been friendly when I’ve visited. It’s a cute cafe and the sandwiches and iced cafe are great at a good price.“

“Petsi Pies in Somerville is a gem loved by people all over Boston. Their pecan pie is simply the best—perfectly sweet, with a great crust. If you’re looking for a classic pie done right, this is the place to go. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to add a little extra to their Thanksgiving table or for birthday pie lovers!“

“Muy delicioso Más que recomendado“

“The food is authentic and sanitary.“

“Superb and substantial crepes, and delicious tea to boot! I love coming here before a show at the Somerville theater.“

“excelente ubicación,presentación de platillos y atención“

“Gong Cha in Davis Square stands out in the local boba landscape for reasons beyond just the drinks. The space is notably larger and more comfortable than most bubble tea spots in the area, with plenty of seating and wifi that makes it easy to settle in for a while rather than treating it as a quick pickup counter. It has built a reputation as a genuine hang out spot in a neighborhood that welcomes that kind of place.

The drinks hold up well across the menu. The passion fruit green tea is the order most people gravitate toward and for good reason, refreshing and bright with a natural tartness that works particularly well over ice. The taro milk tea is another reliable pick, creamy and subtly sweet in the way a good taro should be, and the passionfruit yogurt slush is worth trying if you want something more textural and fruit-forward. The star boba is a fun alternative to standard pearls with a mild fruity flavor that works well in the lighter tea options, and the herbal jelly is worth specifying if you want a less sweet, more earthy addition to the cup.

The staff is consistently warm and genuinely helpful in steering you toward something you will enjoy if you are unsure where to start on the menu. The baristas take recommendations seriously rather than defaulting to generic suggestions, and that kind of engagement makes a difference at a spot you might visit regularly. The space is well kept and the overall vibe is peaceful enough for a work session or a long conversation without feeling like you are occupying a table you should give up.“

“Súper fast service very sweet young employees“

“They’re so sweet. This one lady gave me a drink for a little bit cheaper due to it being expensive for my budget super sweet made my day the best and I was already going through a hard time little things matter thank you so much to that lady no names because I don’t want anyone to get in trouble but just know that she was so sweet. ❤❤“

“It’s like an old school dunks in here. Always filled with folks hanging out gossiping over coffee. It’s clean. They’re always fast and accurate. The staff is friendly. The gentleman with the longer dark hair really seems to enjoy is his job and will banter with the regulars, he’s really kind and personable.

It’s really clean. Big parking lot. It’s a Dunks, it’s not here to reinvent the wheel on cheap coffee. Place your order, enjoy the atmosphere while you wait and head out for your day. What more could you need?“

“Great place even a Starbucks inside“

“Totally awesome ice cream. Watch out for the hot fudge thiugh, it's addictive to the max!“

“Starbucks is still the only place where you can get a consistently dark, dark roast coffee every day. Plus...I love the snowman cookies!“

“Tate’s has become one of my favorite places to stop whenever I’m in the area. The food is always fresh, delicious, and consistently good. Their hot chocolate is absolutely amazing—it’s one of the best I’ve ever had and something I look forward to every time I visit.

The service is another reason I keep coming back. The staff is friendly, efficient, and very organized. Even when it’s busy, the service is fast and straightforward without sacrificing quality.

The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable, making it a great place to relax with family or friends. I’ve been here several times, and every visit has been a great experience. I highly recommend Tate’s to anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and an amazing hot chocolate. I’ll definitely be back again and again!“

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

“All DD's are differant, depends on the staff, I seem to find the ones that serve the older left over ice coffee that has a strong taste and the prices are to much for iced mud.When you find the ones that use fresh iced coffee stick with those good stores.“

“Service was fast. They have an excellent and broad selection of sandwiches and pastries in a beautiful atmospheric cafe.“

“I made a custom order for my anniversary with my wife. Lavender honey is flavorful and yet not too sweet. Tamy is friendly and makes the ordering process so easy!“

“I have been coming here for a few months since my partner lives nearby. The coffee is amazing and the staff is SO friendly. Today was my first day venturing out since having my wisdom teeth removed, I got a coffee and immediately dropped it outside. I was so upset and defeated and still not feeling well, I went in to order another one and they were SO supportive and kind and insisted on making it for free. Such a kind and welcoming place, I’m so so grateful ❤🩷“

“Clerk was rude and disrespectful. Couldn't get off his phone and speak directly to me. Only his back. Ordered Zig-Zag wraps. 4 to be exact. Price on package is $1.49. Dude is charging $2.50/ea. When told that he can't charge like that, he told me he could. So I only bought and paid for 2. I've posted a picture.“
