Diesel Café

Filled to the brim with cozy furniture , Diesel Cafe is a great place to kick back with a book or laptop. Friendly service and a variety of coffees , teas , and food make this place ultra inviting Read more

Paid WIFI but the happy service and delicious Intelligentsia coffee and menu make up for that. Grab a seat in the front for good people watching and one in the way back for quiet writing.

This is the nicest environment to read your book at davis square area so far. Peaceful , and warm. Great staff . Also the interior design of the place inspiring by diesel is awesome. Love you DC????

Little Piston sandwich is the best. I came here for the photo booth and the pics came out funky, so beware--but they let me try twice and gave me my money back too, so it was worth it!

Great coffee , great sandwiches , I liked the Branch-Tomsho. It's a huge space that can get pretty loud , so not always the best place to get work done. Have to love the industrial aesthetic though.

One of my favorite coffee shops in all of Greater Boston. Cool vibe, great menu, and awesome space between the open air in the Summer and pool tables in the back.

Really a great, spacious cafe for working, reading, and even playing pool ! Yummy blueberry lemon scone !

Super friendly staff , avocado salad , and brownies are great. Only downside is that ordering a flat white results in either a latte or cappuccino , but both are good.

A very cool crowd with a side of excellent sandwiches . This is one of the busiest spots in Davis Square (and we can see why) so prepare to do some table stalking but remember, it's totally worth it.

Great industrial vibe massive space with loads of benches for laptop working pretty good breakfast range

The tofu scramble wrap is delicious. Love the vegetarian soups , too. Pots of tea are great. Wifi is $$. If you're going to be a repeat customer, get a stamp card at the register for free drinks.

Good spot for readers, students, pool players (2 tables) and photo-booth fans. Sandwich menu is large and sounds good; the ones I've tried were great, cant say the same about the pasta sidedish though

Great coffee and wonderful vibe. Good place to grab a cup and kick back. Large selection of veggie food and sandwiches !

The best espresso drinks anywhere in Boston. Though it can be overwhelmingly loud at times, this is often part of its charm and draw--you will undoubtedly find interesting people and conversations.

Usually busy so watch for empty seats attentively~ breakfast burrito and bagel and lox plate for breakfast is good :) The coffee is always delicious.

Their take on a London Fog is tasty as well as clever ("Somerville Smog "), the sandwiches are wicked good, the staff are nice, atmosphere is laid-back, and the pool tables are cheap . Love it!

Such a cool vibe and FANTASTIC ESPRESSO !!! Plus they have billiards , outlets and tons of places to sit.

Great coffee . Can't go wrong. Love it much more than Starbucks across the street

Though a little expensive , the green tea latte was by far the best drink I've ever gotten in a cafe

If you want it hot, get the mocha latte . If you want it iced, get the mocha *au lait*.

Try everything from chocolate muffins to coconut macaroons . If you're looking for a bit more substance, you won’t go wrong with one of their tasty soups or salads – the selection changes frequently. Read more

Sit by the front window and you can pick up the free Starbucks wi-fi from across the street.

Great place on weekday mornings (quiet , brilliant start to the day). Try the Iggy's rolls - ask for them to be heated and for butter! Mmm...

VG coffee of all types (pour overs!) with lots of seating (good for working )

Great spot to get some work done on the weekend. It can be tough to get a seat though.

Great sandwiches . They can make them vegan . They added extra spinach to my tofu wrap instead of the cheese .

The cream cheese brownie is all a brownie should be: so moist it doesn't NEED no stinkin' frosting .

Staff were super friendly . The back of the dining area feels like a study hall: not much food, lots of coffee cups, laptops, books , papers, backpacks, and students.

The Little Piston is my (vegetarian ) favorite! All cheese is locally sourced too! Literally one of the best sandwiches around.

My favorite place to sit with a cortado , a bagel or yogurt parfait , and a book on a weekend morning.

Great espresso here and awesome service, always with a simile. Best coffee in Davis square.

Diesel looks tiny from the street but don't be fooled. The shop is long and thin with lots of seating and even a couple of pool tables .

This is one of the top coffee shops in the Boston area, because of it's character, large space , friendly staff , and delicious coffee . Oh, and the photobooth .

Voted best Independent coffee shop in Somerville for many years running. Awesome! And well deserved.

Besides the good coffee and yummy sandwiches , an old school photo booth is a great way to goof-off by yourself or with friends. -Tania Peterson, Top Chef Just Desserts

the nachos are amazing & i am a huge fan of the raspberry lime rickeys there too :)

Perfect place for a casual client meeting! Order a chai , take a seat and whip out your laptop and impress them with laid back attitude.

Best cafe near school. Fun ambiance. Not my favorite place to get work done, but a great place to meet people.

Square tattoo on forearm and/or thigh, check. Short haircut , check. Facial jewelry and androgynous clothing , check. You are now qualified to work here.

Love this place but I keep forgetting you have to pay for wifi until I buy my drink and sit down :-(

Little piston sandwich sans onions is heaven on earth. Halloween decorations are also over the top awesome.

Delicious chai lattes and a super friendly atmosphere . Beware on Sundays. It gets packed.

Solid coffee and even better pastries . Confirm the savory monkey bread

Good coffee and vibe but you have got to try the Maple Oatmeal Scones . Fabulous! Disappointed there is no free WiFi however.

Go for the "Tuck's Turtle " - hot chocolate w/ hazelnut , caramel & whipped cream (if you ask, they'll add expresso )

The salted caramel latte is so good. And I have never been disappointed by any of the sandwiches .

Love the atmosphere here but it's a struggle to find available seating & outlets.

The back area with new seating is finally open! (Posted: Jul. 14th 2013)

I can drink their coffee black. That's noteworthy IMO

iced coffee is watery but hot coffee is amazing! i recommend the salted caramel
