Employees were very nice, I got a hot Carmel latte and it was very good. I would recommend
If you're A coffee shop owner and your coffee game isnt as strong as this joint's , please shut down for a day and come learn from this place! Coffee IS superb!!! Their pastries are fresh and aroma..oh!!! Get extra hot cap and toasted everything bagel with cream cheese! Best start to anyone's day! Place is clean and very friendly.
One of the better independent coffee shops in Somerville that's optimized for pandemic walkup orders. Coffee and pastries are well executed here (just has an excellent Kouign-amann). Looking forward to trying their sandwiches next.
Best coffee shop in Davis Square! Coffee is amazing & latte art is beautiful. The atmosphere is friendly and cozy; I credit the baristas and the big windows which allow warming sunlight into the coffee shop. Their baked goods are very good too.
Nine Bar Espresso delivers a great coffee experience. The quality of their coffee is exceptional, making it a go-to spot for coffee enthusiasts. The rich flavor and expertly crafted brews ensure a satisfying and enjoyable visit.
I go so often that my dog assumes we’re stoping whenever we walk by! Solid espresso drinks, decent selection of wonderful bake goods, and they’re always stocked with dog treats🫶🏻
Nice little coffee shop in Davis Square that we found when it was highlighted on channel 5’s Chronicle show. We got in just before the place was closing on a Sunday afternoon. We ordered a regular coffee and a vanilla latte but we’d like to come back and try some of the food offerings like the avocado sandwich which sounds tasty. Overall, the prices are on par with any coffee shop in Boston, friendly service and and the atmosphere is more catered to on-the-go traffic. We’ll be back!
This is hands down the best coffee in Davis Sq. Through the small window they serve glorious lattes and delicious pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Go there and treat yourself!! You deserve it :)
Wonderful latte with oat milk! Take out from walk-up window only, open most days from 8-3. Some bagel and pastry choices. My favorite coffee shop, it’s in busy Davis Square.
Normally 10/10, incredibly nice staff, great food, quick time. Even when the line gets long, it feels no longer than 10 min waiting, very quick. They do pack a lot of cream cheese on the bagels if you like that, usually we say light. My fiance loves the BEC on everything and the kouign-amanns. We love bringing friends and family that stay with us for a quick breakfast. Great for all, even pups get a treat. Today was the first day we were thrown off, we ordered a bacon, no egg and cheese on a croissant, we have ordered a few times in the past (no issues), but today we received cream cheese and bacon on a croissant it was gross I couldn’t eat it. Maybe order something normal, but won’t deter us from coming tomorrow haha. 10/10 recommend!
