They do not serve coffee in mug. It is not ok. Atmosphere is ok.

Some of the best coffee around, Organic as well. Seth the manager is amazing and his customer service is outstanding. The couches and tables are perfect for gathering with friends or just enjoying some you time. Best hang out in town.

Coffee is pretty good, the (same person every time) is unreasonably slow, 20 minutes for a cappuccino is wild.

I went to college at Brandeis and I used to study here and have the “Snail” my favorite thing ever at this coffee shop! I like the staff too, they are the best.

Really nice classic dinner. I trully miss when places like this dotted the east coast. Scrambled eggs were fluffy and cooked perfectly. The home fries had just the right amount of browning and coffee tasted like it was just prepared. I would happily return if in the area.

Super slow. Unless you want to waste 2hr to wait for a coffee
Cafe on the Common has decent sandwiches and related beverages located next to Waltham's main common. I was here for a quick lunch before heading to a local museum; the turkey sandwich on whole wheat was tasty and served promptly.

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.

I asked for a griilled cheese and said it would be 15 mins, and im like ok thats ok ill wait. i also order a very hot tea. the grilled comes out in like 4 minutes? so clearly lying. then I asked for 2 cubes for the ice cubes i asked for to cool the drink. 50% and a separate credit card transation. I thought it was a joke. it wasnt, then s/he glared at me and scolded me for joking about it. SURREAL bad

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.
