My wife and I wanted a fun breakfast date before work. We went in to a pleasant enough atmosphere. It felt like I was walking into a cafe that has existed for a long time (my wife and I loved the aesthetic!
She got a cold brew, I got an iced tea, we both shared a breakfast pastrie and a ham egg and cheese sandwich.
The sandwich is $12 for an unseasoned painfully below average scrambled egg tossed on store-bought sourdough bread with some okay cheese and barely any ham. The iced tea tasted like water, the cold was pretty okay.
In all sincerity, you could go to McDonald's, spend 1/3 the money that we did and get a tastier breakfast experience. The sandwich was worse than what most people can make at home, the tea looked and tasted like water woth food coloring in it. The pastry and coffee was okay.
Ultimately I wouldn't come back here for anything more than the experience and atmosphere.
It’s an ok local coffee shop. Atmosphere and service is good but feels like diner food quality and coffee. Not special coffee could be better.
When I pay to have someone make my coffee I don't want to do anything but drink it after it's handed to me not finish their job.
Service was polite but slow. One person running the entire place. Appreciated the ample seating options and power outlets, but there was a persistent clanking noise (not related to construction, seemed to be coming from the air vents) that made me unable to stay. Food was expensive for what I got.
Good coffee. Space to hang out while waiting for car repairs
Coffee was decent but buddy at the counter thinks he’s to cool to greet a customer
My favorite café in Waltham, coffee taste like it’s supposed to, very kind and nice stuff. If you do like coffee, you definitely should try it.

Inviting and comfortable atmosphere with ample seating in 2 adjoining rooms! Many regulars. Simple breakfast menu but unique offerings. Waltham fog tea was delicious! Lunch begins at 11 am. Nice view of lush Waltham common. A little pricey.

Recommended dishes: Avocado Toast, Waltham Fog
Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. Ordered a grilled cheese and avocado toast. The grilled cheese was underwhelming (barely melted cheese, forgot the tomato) and the avocado was so far past ripe that the toast was basically inedible. Would have been more ok with the very basic grilled cheese at the right price, but everything was priced like it was downtown Boston. Coffee was ok, but prob not heading back.

Great vibes, great coffee and croissants. And a wonderful place to start your stroll down Moody street over the Charles River.
This is one of my favorite places to kick back or do work. The staff is friendly and goes out of their way to ensure you enjoy your time there. It's got such a friendly neighborhood atmosphere.
