I've tried a few drinks off their menu and it has always been good. They have fruit teas, milk teas, and smoothies. I have yet to try any of the food options so this review is only based on their drink selection. There are some tables and seats available inside. Staff have always been nice! My only con about place is that it is usually only staffed by one person. When it gets busy, the wait for a drink can become quite long.

Been going to this spot for decades at this point, and I always really appreciate their iced and…read morehot coffee flavors (usually a few different ones on offer at any one given time)- the beans themselves are flavored, instead of needing to add in flavored sugar syrup to the coffee like so many other places do, so you don't have to worry about added sugar or about the drink being too sweet. It's a small but significant difference, one that's harder to find than you'd expect, and something that makes me actively come to Red Barn over other nearby spots. Lattes and whatnot are also pretty solid, although the flavored ones do use syrups so can steer into the overly-sweet side depending on the drink and who's making it. Staff can also be varied- recently the ladies working there have been lovely, but there have been times in the past where it feels like you're an inconvenience just for ordering something.

Each month I receive a carefully roasted, curated, and described in detail bag of coffee beans I would otherwise be oblivious to. Compared to other coffee subscription series, this one is economical, high quality (beans, packaging, communication, and website), and easy to engage with. I'm well into my 3rd decade of purchasing coffee beans for home (up to 5 lbs at a time) from small and large roasters. This roaster (and service) hits all my measures for excellence. Highly Recommended!

Okay, this might honestly be the BEST latte I've ever had. I loved it so much that I literally went…read moreback to buy another one on the SAME DAY. I was hooked. I got an iced latte with almond milk and black sesame cold foam, and the combination was absolutely incredible. The cold foam has the perfect salty touch, with little bits of sesame seeds that add such a unique texture and flavor. It's rich, nutty, slightly savory, and perfectly balanced without needing any extra sweetness. And just to clarify, that beautiful caramel color you see is NOT caramel! It's the espresso shot. I specifically wanted a drink that wasn't too sweet, and this was perfection. My only recommendation? PLEASE, offer bigger cup sizes I would happily buy a large or even an extra large because this drink is THAT good. Staff: incredibly nice + friendly + professional college students!!!

Would rate 5/5 on drinks, 4/5 on food. We got the customer favorite: iced pandan matcha (with oat milk for preference) -- overall: good matcha color & flavor, pandan was not too sweet, ice ratio was good. My bf really enjoyed this one! I also got the Iced Saigonese -- strong viet coffee, still yummy with the sweetness & the foam on top enhanced the creaminess of the drink. We ordered the BBQ Pork Bahn Mi + egg, I would recommend adding the egg for sure! The egg was creamy & runny, giving it extra flavor. However, Bahn mi itself was not particularly special. We actually ordered the egg after tasting the Bahn mi & it was a little dry. Nice location, seating inside & outside but construction was happening outside, so it wasn't as enjoyable. We had went around 1PM on a Wednesday & the seats were filled. Saw some people with computers, with no problem.

Perhaps I need to try some of their more innovative dishes, I would love to come back and try their shakshuka. At Milkweed, the service is quick and simple. We sat outside so can't speak for the inside ambiance but it was great getting some vitamin D in before winter kicks in.

They…read morehave recently redesigned the interior and it looks fantastic - a nod to the Starbucks that I fell in love with so many years ago! It's clean and has that homey yet modern feel to it. I'm so glad they kept this location in the area as it is really nice to have in the heart of the Longwood Medical area between the schools and hospitals, and it is nice to have the full store in addition to the pick-up only location at Beth Israel. Anyone who goes through this area knows it can get pretty busy in this area, especially during the mid-morning rush with the hustle and bustle of people going to work, appointments, or class. Even when it's busy, they have a good rhythm and get the drinks and food orders out efficiently, while still keeping good quality. The staff have been great, and they really do care about getting the orders done right. If I am more pressed for time, I try to order ahead extra early just to make sure when I get there my order will be ready or almost ready, and I haven't had any issues with delays. This location is up to the Starbucks standards that I expect!

" Cranky Employees" A Dirty…read moreStarbucks So the staff in this Starbucks were not too friendly at all . They were cranky and in a bad mood during my visit today . I came in to get some cups , lids , and straws . That they sell for cold beverages. I also got a dragonfruit refresher it's in the picture. The ambience is not too friendly or welcoming. I hope it's just a bad day for them today. Because usually all Starbucks, I have been too normally have a great attitude. The bathroom was also dirty and the place was a bit dirty . This is why I didn't want to get a pastry or a food item today .

I came to tatte for the black sesame latte but was seduced by the orange blossom latte and had to…read moregive it a shot. I've been drooling over the passion fruit krembo and the pear tart so I had to give them a try as well. Pear tart- absolutely perfect, so mellow and sweet and I loved the poached pear in the middle! Passionfruit krembo- honestly stronger on the coconut and meringue flavor than on the passion fruit? Tastes almost like a lemon meringue tart to me. Orange blossom latte- frankly didn't get any flavor of orange blossom in the latte, until it melted totally I could taste it a little in the coffee. The vanilla was also really light. It's a pretty unadulterated coffee (as is typical for a cold brew) and I kinda like my coffee sweet and creamy, so I was not too impressed on a first taste. But once it melted I liked it a lot more. Probably will stick with black sesame next time. Note- they serve their pastries glued with sugar (?) on a cardboard round. Im not too sure how to eat it like this so I ended up prying them off the round.

It's a great spot to grab a coffee with a friend or stay longer to work on your laptop. I tried their new overnight oats with peach and raspberry which was delicious, fresh, and creamy!

The sauce on Tatte broccolini squash pita flavor I thought was overpowering which I tried twice on previous visits. Service was quick and friendly! They have a water station and grab your own silverware.
