Peter Salem

Sandwiches , salads , breakfast and coffee . For its location, not too busy on the weekends, pop in for a bite or a drink to get some work down, try the Baystate

Dimitris Spiliakos

The whites chocolate mochas are a staple. Their breakfast wraps , particularly the Hecto and Chipotle, are also very tasty.

Michael Clarke

Had the hot chocolate today and it was great, and had an artistic swirl. They also take level up and have a friendly atmosphere ☕️

Andrew Strathdee

Check out their hilariously passive-aggressive signage while waiting for your drink, which is usually very well prepared. Tunapple wrap is amazing!

Neel Hajare

“Sunny” breakfast sandwich , BLT, and cortado were all ok but not special enough to come back for

Miraj Shah

Good coffee , solid breakfast sandwiches , great place to sit and talk or study. A student favorite.

Chris

I love the food, but they need to incorporate more parallel preparation as it seems they make each sandwich in serial. Missed so many busses for a simple bagel !

Andrew Rohm

Comfy couches and space for sitting with a book and delicious coffee drinks.

Tirdad Kiamanesh

The Pearson sandwich is good, the cafe is okay. But the internet is limited to 1 hour and you have to pay after that with is ????

Amanda O.

The ginger lemonade is the best on a hot day. My favorite cafe to sit at with a good book .

Andrea D

Don't let the giant painting of an avocado fool you. There are none in the kitchen, on your sandwich , or atop your salad .

David Kirsch

Ball Square is a little off the beaten track . Friendly staff .

Carrie Bevis

The Vietnamese coffee is delicious!

Meaghan Earner

Say hi to True Grounds owner Amy if you come in around your morning commute... Then grab a bean burrito . They. Are. Awesome.

Vanessa Turner

Honey Harvest Latte .... Possibly best espresso drink I have ever had

Carlos Rodarte

The Pearson sandwich is probably the option here. Although they are all pretty good.

Hallie Verrier Sullivan

came here on a sunny saturday when the lines for breakfast across the street were too long. get the bean burrito ! filling and delicious!

ak

Best espresso in Somerville. And in the summer try the Moroccan mint iced tea !

Lily K

Honey latte special and a breakfast sandwich on sourdough

Chase Maxwell

True Grounds has gone downhill in the past two years. They use to have the best espresso , even beating out Diesel, its local competitor.

Anna Oswald

Free wi-fi and best coffee in the area. Also great sandwiches . Seating may be a problem especially during the day time.

Samantha Jo

ginger chai gelato for dessert , or just because.. it's that good.

Clare Lynch

Coffee + scrabble . Perfect Sunday afternoon.

Joey Kleckner

They carry gluten free items that you do not see everyday. Today I saw scones and biscotti .

Samantha Jo

grab a coffee card by the register: buy ten, get one free!

Dana Villmore

Breakfast sandwiches were very tasty :)

Brian Salomon

Carries TaraBella's vegan desserts ... when I don't buy them out!

A. Dave Lewis

Alas, the wifi is no longer free, and, on weekends, it's off until 3pm. DON'T let this deter you from a still-fabulous place!!

Maryann Delgado

Strawberry scones are the best#

Seth Opitz

Get your sandwich grilled, it makes it even better. And add bacon .

Sign up with level up and use it here!! Also the Pearson is delicious

Get a pearson and a chai , you won't regret it.

Currant scones and maple scones : best ever.

Try their sandwiches named after streets and you will never be capable of going to another place for sandwiches named after streets.
