“Good matcha and savory croissants are awesome“

“regarding a recent review from Katyko, I visited caffe ollo this morning and this is how this lovely place looks like. It has such an amazing atmosphere, their drinks are amazing, a very cozy and warm place to hang out & staff is so kind and welcoming. no shade but if you check closely that same review was also posted a year ago trying to make this place look bad when in reality it’s completely the opposite. love you ollo, will be back soon!“

“As far as banh mi go, this one is a solid four stars. I went with the BBQ pork and asked for no aioli. The bread was perfectly crusty, the pickled vegetables tasted great and were cut well, as were the fresh jalapeños. I liked the flavor and smokiness on the BBQ pork, but I wish the temperature on it had been anything above room temperature. There were also a couple of overly fatty pieces that should have been trimmed.

The service and atmosphere leave a bit to be desired. The restaurant, at least when I visited, was quite messy. I understand that the sandwiches generate a lot of crumbs, but I think it would help a lot to more regularly wipe down the tables and chairs. I had to wipe off my table and chair when I entered, as did another party I saw come in after me.

I'm also not a huge fan of the QR code ordering system. For such a small place, it feels quite impersonal. Lastly, the cans of soda come out warm. They do provide a cup with a small amount ice, but the cup really ought to be full of ice in order to properly cool down the warm can. In my case, all of the ice was melted as soon as I poured in half a can. Warm soda is just not pleasant.

I think I would order take out next time to avoid the issues they have with dining in. I did very much enjoy the banh mi, but the service issues were a bit perplexing.“

“super amables yo les doy un 100“

“Amazing coffee. I got the Creamy hazelnut dark chocolate latte and a bagel with cream cheese. Fantastic coffee highly recommend trying looks exactlylike the pic. The cream cheese was sweet that made the begal even better. Definitely going back next time im in Waltham.“

“This DD has wonderful customer service. I just switched DD’s recently and I’m really happy I changed to this location. Hsu has been a delight! She is so patient and positive. It’s really nice to go to a place where the staff is welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Our coffee’s have been great but the GREAT customer service really matters to me.I look forward to going to this DD now each day. Hsu thank you for being such a ray of sunshine!!!“

“Staff was friendly to me, order was ready just as I arrived. Theres only one criticism and its nothing they have much control over, the parking/access can be a headache depending on your timing. Not much they can do about it so i don't fault them (just the other people who don't know how to drive/park lol)“

“Their food is exactly what you’d expect from a coffee shop but really I haven’t tried too much of their breakfast sandwiches anyways. I was turned onto their iced peanut butter wonderful and been hooked since. Also hooked a couple others. This place does get busy just like anywhere else.“

“Great service in a SUPER BUSY spot. Staff was great from cashier to server. There had to be 20 drinks prepared waiting for pickup. Don't feel like I waited a long time for an in-store order. Store showed some signs of a busy morning but understandable.“

“A Sweet Surprise Along the Way

We stopped by just in passing, on our way to visit a university — and what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be!

The ice cream was delicious, with just the right balance of flavor — not overly sweet like many others. It was refreshing and satisfying.

What truly made the experience special was Mónica’s service. She was empathetic, kind, and patient — qualities that are becoming rare these days and that we deeply appreciated.

The place itself was spotlessly clean and beautifully presented, adding to the charm of the visit.

All in all, a wonderful little discovery. Thank you for such a delightful stop!“

“es súper rico todo a mi niña le encantó 😍😋😍😋😍😋😍“

“In all honesty, the service here is wonderful employees always patient and answer any questions you have The atmosphere is great drinks are low price even at the large drink with Boba it’s only $10 and they don’t pressure you to tip, but with the service you’ll get you just want to tip the most amount you can. Five stars wonderful.“

“Excellent drinks, I got the caramel macchiato and my daughter got the mango matcha cream. She said it was the best matcha drink she has ever had. We will definitely be back! It will be our new go-to place after she has her appointments at Boston Children's.“
