Awful experience ordered food and took it home. Told the gentleman taking my order very clearly in English that on the steak and cheese please do not put onions and peppers. My order is completed and I arrive home to find the order was incorrectly made. I brought back the item for replacement and the owner picked off the onions and peppers and in less than one min gave it back to me.I explained I cant eat anything that touched onions and he yelled at me and told me "next time tell them that when I ordered" he gave me a classic RBF and walked away. At this time we both decided I would take my money back and depart never to patronize that establishment ever again. Poor poor customers service had a friend who had a similar incident. It seems like if you speak Portuguese your good because its Brazilian owned and they bend over backwards for them. Also overpriced 2 sandwiches and a muffin was 22 dollars with a tip. Avoid avoid avoid. Awful customer service.

Im selfishly reluctant to write a review in the event that itll start drawing too many people here. Its certainly a gem hidden amongst all the coffee houses in the Boston area. Tables are nicely spaced apart, decor is clean and artsy, and coffee / food are tasty. I spent most of Sunday here catching up on work, and the place was never more than a third occupied. Only thing Id like more is bigger portion size - my turkey jerk panini had only one or two slices of turkey, which I thought was too few for the price.

ABSOLUTELY A VERY DIFFERENT WAY TO MAKING CAPPUCCINO OR A HOT LATTES NEVER HAD COARSE CINNAMON SPRINKLED ON MY WHITE FOAMED CAPPUCCINO LIQUID UNDER IT, WAS A COFFEE LIKE SUBSTANCE NOT ANYTHING LIKE THE 3RD WAVE LEADERS *FLECK OR GEO, HOWELL COFFEE CAFES IN NEWTON, OR BARISIMO CAFE. NOT ONE THING RESEMBLES A GREAT EXPERIENCE HERE CLEAN PLACE GOOD LOOKING BAGELS PASTRY THATS IT THE OWNER SAID PPL LIKE THE WAY I MAKE IT SOME DONT SO THATS MY TAKE

My first couple of times at this place and I am very impressed with the service and the selection of food! This place is nice to relax with your cup of coffee or hot chocolate and read a book, magazine, listen to the background music or your own music and nobody cares about what youre doing! Very nice and will be returning! Prices are affordable!

Food was okay and service was on the slow side. We ordered one of their breakfast options and they eggs were very salty and the bacon was unevenly cooked. The waffle was underwhelming as well. The cafe is small, so I wouldnt recommend bringing a group bigger than 4 people inside.

Great cup of espresso, delicious empanadas and a perfectly crisp/fluffy waffle. Prices are just right. Nice sitting space and environment. Only negatives are limited opening hours and friendly yet not friendly staff.

One of the first places to bring acai to Somerville/Cambridge and still the best (and biggest) bowls around (get the normal one with fruit and granola, not with all the crazy toppings).

Loses a star only because of limited hours. Preferable to bloc 11 because of free Wi-Fi and better prices across the board for better food.

Nice spot to grab a cup o joe and an egg sandwich. They seem to switch up their menu often too, so it stays interesting!
