    drink menu
    Avyana B.

    I love finding a local coffee shop with great coffee and special lattes. There's paid street parking, seating inside if you want to dine in, cute interior decor, and the service is good. It wasn't too busy when I went on the weekend and during the week. So far I've only tried a fruit loop latte (I think that's what it was called) --it was actually delicious and their mushroom cappuccino, which gave me the kick I needed without the jitters. I can't wait to try the other drinks on their menu and maybe even one of the baked goods.

    Banana matcha and banana latte
    Morgan N.

    A cute and quaint place my friend and I spent a few hours at to study. Both drinks were $7 for this size and cold foams which is like so unheard of these days lol but we got the iced banana cold foam matcha and latte. So yummy, and it wasn't the perfect balance between strong coffee or matcha with slight sweetness. I'm not a huge fan of overly sweet drinks in general so I was very pleased with how both came out. The music playlist was great too, either pop or throwbacks that weren't too crazy or loud for studying, I highly recommend!

    Chai lattes

    Bliss is due an updated review after my recent experiences at the Coffee Lounge. Since I have been, the vanilla chai lattes -- both hot and cold -- have been consistently delicious. The lattes are creamy, perfectly spiced, and not too sweet. Before the winter menu is gone, definitely try the caramel brûlée latte! This is a sweet beverage with a crunchy top layer and the cutest presentation. I also really enjoyed the chocolate chip cookie. It came out warm and gooey in one of my recent experiences. However, last time I went, it was stale and must have been sitting in the case for too long. Besides that, the decor and service here have been on point as well. The baristas here are so sweet and I always have an easy time ordering.

    I really wish I can give this cute little place a good review but I cannot. I went in for the first time and at first the young lady was nice until I asked her about the morning sweet combo special that consists of a muffin or bakery treat with a coffee, AFTER I had asked for a matcha latte, I thought of getting the combo as well... but she then goes "the combo doesn't consist of a matcha latte" and I said "okay no problem I'm just gonna get a raspberry bread thingy and matcha. She gets an attitude and starts breathing heavy and proceeds to ask me "so you DONT want a muffin you want the raspberry bread???" And I said yes kindly. She then switched my total from $9 and some change to $15!!! For a stale piece of bread and a matcha latte that definitely was NOT made with "love". Let's just say that. I then asked her where the rest room was and with her back turned "RIGHT TO THE LEFT LAST DOOR". Stand offish as hell. I just moved in the area and safe to say I won't be coming back here. UNLESS she is NOT working that day.

    Cute little coffee shop with plenty of seating! And a handful of food options including bakery items. We got the brigadeiro latte, a tasty and subtly chocolate latte with some kind chocolate syrup in it, it didn't really stand out as something I'd try again. Next we tried a mocktail, the bliss spritz, though good... it had A LOT of ginger giving a bit too much of a bite, perhaps a little more sparkling water would've helped. Overall the atmosphere is calm and dark with smooth music in the background. I'll probably come back to try other drinks sometime.

    Bliss certainly lives up to its name. From its atmosphere to its drinks, to its baked goods- there is always a good reason to go to Bliss. I go to Bliss when I'm meeting up with a friend for a coffee or when I need to finish some work. Both occasions seem fit for a trip to Bliss. Bliss has a warm and cozy seating area which is able to accommodate a decent amount of people. The front of Bliss has a few couches for a casual conversation, and the middle section near the counter has tables where I typically pull out my laptop when I have work to finish but also want the ambiance of a bustling coffee shop. The back of Bliss includes a more solitary space perfect for an intimate conversation or a space to really minimize distractions and get lost in a personal project. There are a number of drinks I really enjoy at Bliss. My recent favorite is the eggnog latte- a perfect blend of espresso and eggnog without being blown away by excessive sweetness. Though, two staples I can always rely on are the downtown dulce and the cortado. Every time I order those I walk away with a smile. Though if you are in the mood for a chai latte or even a cold brew, I can assure you Bliss makes a solid chai latte and usually has a seasonal cold brew. This past autumn, I enjoyed the apple crisp cold brew. Each trip to Bliss I like to treat myself to some pão de queijo. Each order comes with 2, and every time I order the pão de queijo it is fresh and well worth it! When in Somerville, make sure to put Bliss on your must visit list!

    iced chagaccino; iced pistachio bliss
    Sebastian C.

    The best coffee shop in Somerville! Bliss is my favorite place to enjoy a coffee when I'm in the area. It's been a few years since I first stopped in and I have been going back ever since because of how consistently well made the drinks are. I've enjoyed everything I've tried from Bliss, but my absolute favorite is the downtown dulce--it's the perfect blend of caramel and espresso. The chai latte is another standout drink for me. There is a lot of seating inside, as well as tables outside during warmer months, so it never feels crowded. The Wi-Fi is quick and works great in both the front and back rooms of the cafe. For those reasons, Bliss doubles as a great place to sit and do work for a couple hours. In a word: visiting this coffee shop is pure Bliss!

    Empanada
    Brian W.

    I've given Bliss a 5 start but management needs to speak with it's staff about some housekeeping expectations which I'll cover at the end of this review. Our first trip to Somerset NJ on 6/18, a reco from a colleague who grew up in town and who's parents still live there. Found street parking just outside of Bliss and due to the extreme HOT temps (heat wave) we noticed Bliss and opted to go in to seek coverage from the oppressive temperatures. To our surprise, it was a very chill type of relaxing atmosphere with a very interesting small plate menu and healthy, tasty, and refreshing beverages. We started off with an empanada and quickly added another with a fruit filling and loved their passion fruit mocktail. Had overheard it's also an event space for performers. Very cool. Back to my housekeeping rules the management needs to instill in the staff... is common decency and respect. Not just respect to the customers, my horrific experience was more about common decency and respect to everyone (staff or customer). While waiting a very long time to finally be able to use the one gender-neutral restroom (no other restrooms), I went in, and low and behold, the previous occupant [an employee who helped us with our order from behind the counter] did not flush the toilet and boy it was ugly in there. I came right out to follow that person and remind them of the human decency and courtesy to flush. She looked astonished and said she did. If she did and it cleared out, I would not be describing this unfortunate and ugly part of my awesome food experience. She was also nasty when confronted; it was time for us to leave.

    Unique latte art

    A favorite when I'm in the area. Good ambiance and decent coffee. I wish they had more of a food selection, but I'll keep going there with my laptop!

    Blueberry Strudel and a Tiramisu Latte
    Chastity R.

    I have been wanting to try Bliss for the longest but with so much competition in the area, I just never got around to it. I'm so glad it came into the rotation this President's Day. First off, I love the peacock blue with the matching lounge chairs. It gives such a sexy, grown vibe. Second, I love the variety of drinks that they offer. The latte list is endless AND they have flights so you can sample three of the flavors that pique your desire. Third, they serve food. Hot food. Pancakes, sandwiches, cheesesteaks, etc. Or, if you fancy something light, they have a huge variety of pastries, muffins, cakes, bagel, etc. The ladies working were great. Informative and patient and suggested a few things. Opted for the blueberry streudel which was DELICIOUS and had a tiramisu latte to go with it. My friend that the latte flight of the lavender love, pistachio, and caramel creme brulee. Next time, I'm gonna get the flight. I'm gonna make it my goal to try all they flavors by Summertime. Hey, ya gotta have goals! The prices are Somerville prices and paid parking is a little iffy but otherwise, I love this place. Oh, and the bathroom--an oasis! Could use an update but still a great place.

    Lotus Cheesecake aka biscoff. no nuts :D
    Zoe S.

    Love their coffee. I had the Lotus Cheesecake latte. I wanted to get the latte flight however I have a nut allergy and one of the lattes in the flight had nuts (pistachio/coconut). Unfortunately they could not be swapped out so I asked for their sweetest latte, therefore led me to the Lotus Cheesecake. Essentially biscoff latte still the perfect amount of sweet for me. Felt very homey and comfortable. Their food also looked very good for a small shop. Not sure where the lounge came in from the name maybe because of the couch like seating but overall good vibe. Came here for a date and he had a plain vanilla latte, but also great for catching up with friends etc. Not sure I would have a professional meeting here but definitely a great find. Since I came earlier today (Sunday) the meter parking 2 blocks up was free. I did travel 40 mins for the coffee it was definitely worth it and wished it was closer or I could have the latte recipe. ;)

    Chicken beirute
    Lisa Z.

    I don't drink coffee at all, so I was excited to see they have a variety of non-coffee beverages. I got the strawberry coconut horchata and the chicken beirute, a Brazilian styled sandwich. The food and drinks were great, loved that it wasn't the typical American cafe choices. But for a cafe it is VERY expensive, the sandwich was $16 and specialty drinks were $7 each which is insanely pricey for a cafe, those are restaurant prices. The interior is trying to be trendy but I felt was slightly dated with the cat portraits.

    If you are wondering how your food is cooked. This is the kitchen. The door was open and I was surprised to see the environment it was cooked in. Cook wasn't the nicest, giving my friend attitude when asked for a cup to take drink to go. The replies to the negative reviews aren't nice from the owner online. Always a reason to blame costumers. My friend and I were just there for a quick meal. Wouldn't recommend.

    Another day, another coffee shop! This time I visited Safwa Specialty Cafe. I had seen them on…read moresocial media several times and decided to finally check them out, and I am so happy I did. The inside was warm and cozy, with plenty of seating and adorable decor. I saw many people chatting or typing away on their computers, so it is clearly a welcoming place no matter the occasion. They have a solid food menu alongside classic coffee and tea selections. While they offer fun specialty coffees and refreshers, my favorite part was their seasonal menu. This time around, I tried a bit of everything. I ordered the raspberry almond shortcake matcha as well as the sticky toffee pudding latte from their winter menu, and then added the Spanish latte from their specialty lineup! Of course, we needed even more, so after being stuck between the smoked salmon toast and the hummus toast, I opted for the latter. I was so happy with my choice! It was a light, refreshing homemade hummus topped with a Mediterranean salad of cucumber, onion, and tomato. The balance between the cheese, the creamy hummus, and the crisp salad was amazing. To finish, because a sweet treat is essential, we got one of their pastries: the cheese danish. The food was great, the drinks were even better, and the staff was super friendly. This is a must-visit spot and I can't wait to be back!

There is also colorful artwork, an old-school Nintendo system & box TV for some retro nostalgia, and an art station make it a perfect way to escape and relax.

It's completely okay for the pastries being outsourced but at the end of the day, it either tastes good or doesn't and unfortunately, for its a hidden cafe it was one disappointment after the next when it came to the food. Also, the cost of one shoprite apple turnovers from the cafe buys you the whole case at shoprite which is *actually* the same exact food. The breakfast sandwich was the most unflavorful and bland breakfast sandwich I've ever had, counting both outside and even at home. It was difficult to take a third or fourth bite of any of the food. The coffee also did not stand out to me in any way. Coming in very hungry, I was excited and while food typically tastes better when hungry, I just couldn't enjoy it. with this experience, I have to give the food a 2/5 If you're looking for a spot to hangout or get some work in, I'd say it's worth visiting. It is decorated nicely and has board games and a decent amount of seating and some mini tables. It looks like a feel good place people can stop by to sit and relax for a little bit. Service is fine, the owner is chill and nice to talk to.

Pretty homey feel when you walk into the store. There was a cute selfie wall when you walk to the register. The menu is pretty extensive. I debated getting a drink but was so full from lunch that I got a box of the ube crinkle instead. My husband did order an ube shake for him and my son, so the three of us shared. First I noticed that people don't come here for one drink- people leave with 4-5! Everything looked so good coming out that I couldn't wait to try my husband's shake. Staff was friendly and place was clean! They did have those floor fans going on which I assume was to try the wet footprints from the melting snow outside, so I think that made the restaurant louder the it is. The ube shake was delicious! It was a little hard to drink at first because it was made pretty icy. I'd prefer mine to be a little smoother, but not a huge thing since it'll just melt. My 5 year old LOVED the "ice cream". He drank a good amount which was shocking. I had the ube crinkle when I got home and it was SO good. It was the perfect softness and it wasn't overly powered on top. I ended up eating a second one, which I normally would never do but I couldn't help myself! It wasn't overly sweet or coated with powder and the softness just made it that much better. Would I come back? I would if I happen to be in the area, I will definitely stop by to try the rest of their cakes/drinks!
