Mocha review. I stopped by since I was in the neighborhood to see what they would do with an 8 ounce drink.
I quizzed the counter person, and they guided me to order a flat white which is similar to their “modern“ cappuccino. I asked them to add half chocolate not to sweet, and it came out as a perfect 8 ounce mocha.
I’m not a full on espresso connoisseur, but it’s clear that they pay a lot of attention to detail here in not only the shops presentation but in the coffee itself. See the other reviews for thoughts and raves from Espresso devotees
This is one of the better coffee shops in the Boston area. The baristas are actually knowledgeable and the brews actually have complexity. It’s a refreshing breath of fresh air in a sea of mediocrity.
This is one of the best coffee roasters in New England. Unlike a lot of its competition, it’s independently owned, and they roast right on the premises. If you want to try a variety of truly excellent coffee, check out this place. Of course, they sell beans for home brewing. Also, the menu is delicious, and you can get a great meal or a nice treat here. Beautiful café with really friendly service. Highly, highly recommend it. Update: no full menu or inside seating now bc of the pandemic. Baked treats and overnight oats. Tables on the street. The coffee here gets better and better. Best place around for specialty coffee, especially single origins and lighter roasts. Staff is pro and friendly.
Best roaster in the Boston Area. Full stop. They thoughtfully roast coffees from interesting origins with a variety of processing methods. In fact, they are one of the only reliable source of unique naturally processed coffees that I know of in the area.
The brewed coffee in the shop is just okay though. Espressos are tasty but lighter in body (highish ratio of around 2.75:1) and the batch drip brews are a little samey and often don't show much of the unique character of the coffee in question.
Their special drinks using syrups and interesting ingredients are awesome though! Don't hesitate to get one of those.
Also their food, when available, is great. Especially the baked good.
Currently not a great place for dining in, and breakfast options aren't always many (there is more variety on the weekends, but they run out quickly), however, the coffee is excellent quality and the seating outdoors is cute when the weather is nice.
AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS.
This place rates exceptional in comparison to other places around. Their latte is 10/10, great espresso, flavor & depth, top notch froth-it was perfect. I enjoy trying lattes at each cafe I visit. Some, like at big chains, are watery, the froth disappears after about 1 min and are also oversweetened-NOT here, you can tell this was made with care to honor what the beverage is meant to be like. I'll be back to try more drinks & also the food there.
Broadsheet was the only coffee shop we visited in Cambridge but it did not disappoint! Broad Sheet is roasting their own coffee and doing a great job. We all got lattes and everyone was pleased. It was one of the best lattes I had in Boston!
Very knowledgeable and approachable baristas. Love that they highlight one of their single origin beans for espresso drinks, makes every visit different. Definitely my favorite roaster and cafe in the area. Could not recommend more!
