This was at 9am and at this point, there weren't many tables left for people to sit with a coffee. I do this. I have sat in a coffee shop with my laptop for hours. But if I look around and see that most tables are taken up and there's no room for paying guests, I'll move along. These folks weren't doing that. As for the coffee? Mrs. K. and I split a delicious latte as we planned our travel for the rest of the day. I liked the spot. [Review 975 of 2025 - 1238 in Massachusetts - 24529 overall]

I needed a pick me up in Legacy Place and couldn't find a Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts within walking distance so I settled for Nero. I got their blueberry refresher and it tasted like straight up high fructose corn syrup. And it was $5. I will say the ambiance is very cool, they have a "medieval university" feel inside with lots of books and places to sit and get some work done. They also have a bar which I've never seen before in a coffee shop but is pretty cool.

The one with the apple slaw is pretty good too. Not my favorite spot for breakfast sandwiches - but Love all the lunch sammies. The specialty drinks are always good. I just trust them and order whatever the seasonal special is. They carry Mocha Joes coffee from Brattleboro Vermont!!!! (I am always enthusiastic about Brattleboro). The staff is always great, even with a crowd. There is parking in a municipal lot kitty corner across the streets from Big Bear. Get a coffee and then enjoy a matinee down the street at Dedham Community theater or check out the historical society. Dedham is so cute.

We waited in line for about 15 minutes just to order, only to be told it would take another 35-40 minutes to get two toasted bagels with cream cheese--which felt excessive. Because of the long wait, we ended up ordering an éclair and an apple cinnamon muffin instead--items that were ready right away. Both were tasty, but not enough to make up for the overall experience. The space itself is cute and inviting, but it could really use more seating and a better setup for handling takeout orders. It also seems like they may be understaffed for the volume of weekend customers they get. We likely wouldn't return on a weekend, as the wait just isn't worth it despite the good food.

The patties are as flaky as any you will find in Ocho Rios or Mo' Bay. Bought spinach and also chicken, and especially the chicken was heavenly. Like real Caribbean patties, there's are small and very affordable (and addictive). They are more like a French flaky turnover than the boring frozen patties at the market--just beware of eating any in your car, as the flakes will indeed get everywhere! I also got a couple of pain au chocolat for my neighbors' kids; they were devoured as soon as I handed them to the young boys! So as I shared the savory patties with my adult neighbors, they offered to reimburse me for what they had eaten. When I told them not to worry about it, I explained that the cost for 4 chicken patties, 2 spinach patties, and 2 chocolate croissants came to under $15, including tax! Their jaws dropped. The center of Norwood was closed off to cars today, due to a planned pops concert on a real scorcher, but I feel comforted that before engaging in this carbohydrate overload(!)

In this day and age we get wrapped up with the luxuries and sometimes we forget about our roots. My good ol' bacon egg and cheese on a plains bagel was stacked perfectly. It's wild, no egg spilling out the side, the bacon was evenly distributed on the sandwich. What more could a girl ask for? It was the PERFECT temperature, not to hot so I could eat it immediately but warm enough to melt the cheese to my desire. The service was the quickest I've ever encountered. My sister thoroughly enjoyed her iced coffee. She says "it had a very good ratio of almond milk to coffee to caramel," her words, not mine. Snaps to you Dunkin!!!

I come here whenever I'm in the area and am usually met with super friendly service and the coffee is always amazing but omg there was something in the air the day I went. It was super busy and they were clearly backed up and short staffed. Being in coffee service myself, I totally understand being pissed off and hate-working when busy, but I would never reflect that attitude onto my customers and always make a point to be nice no matter how much i'm dying inside. After waiting a few minutes for my order to be taken (again, i don't mind this i totally get it) i was stared at by the old lady when she was ready to take my order (No "hi how are you" or "sorry for the wait"). Just stared at. I ordered my drink and all she served me was attitude. monotone "yup" "okay" "cash or card". No thank you for the tip. Then i'm waiting for my drink and they were just behind the counter complaining the whole time for everyone to hear. I got my drinks and as the white girl hands it to me she goes "Have a WONDERFUL day!" in the most phoney cheery voice. I was like okay girl you too!! Like your whole staff just gave me a sour attitude and then you hit me with some fake niceness. I'm a 20 year old girl too passive to not smile and thank them for their horrible service. Coffee was gas as always but i just left appalled at how miserable the staff was.

Don't let the small size fool you - it's well worth skipping the starbucks down the street and paying this local spot a visit. I've seen a few people on Yelp complaining about parking, but I've never had an issue. It's a busy intersection, but there's a number of street spots and I think most people don't know about the massive free lot behind the shops across the street, head over there if all the street parking is taken. The coffee itself is top tier. They have a lot of creative signature lattes, I've tried both the Tiramisu and Peanut Butter lattes and loved them equally. I don't usually order that kind of thing because I'm not a fan of overly sweet drinks, but these are perfectly balanced. One of my friends is a bit of a coffee connoisseur and also highly recommends the Yuenyeung Latte. We also recently tried some of their food options, and were really surprised at how good the bagels are here. The double cheese bacon sandwich is a must try, and all of the Croffles (croissant waffles) they serve on the weekend are soooo decadent and soooo tasty. Really happy to have this place right in my own neighborhood. I hear they're adding a larger Hingham location soon too; their success is so well deserved. Definitely slowly becoming a local favorite of mine!
