Iced matcha latte with oat milk
Elli C.

PLEASE GET YOUR MATCHA HERE!!! This to-go only coffeehouse has one of the BEST matcha lattes you can get in the greater Boston area. I am a Asian-American from California who is EXTREMELY picky about matcha lattes. The matcha is high quality and is blended so smoothly where you can see no lumps in your cup. I ordered an iced matcha latte with oat milk and it was so smooth. The people at the door are always so kind and patient with everyone. The place is dog-friendly too! The servers give out treats if the owners allow it. The drinks come out very quickly. The cafe is also right in front of the Red line, so it is a great place to pick up your drinks on the go. I also saw pastries and for breakfast sandwiches, which I need to get next time!

Oat milk cappuccino and biscotti

Seems like they hired some nice new staff. Service was friendly and quick from the window. Recyclable container and paper straw were cool. My iced coffee was balanced- not bitter. I don't take milk or sugar or anything so I appreciate a good quality bean, which this was.

Bacon egg cheese croissant sandwich . Very yummy and perfect proportion of everything!

I was in Somerville for a few days and was looking for some espresso macchiato. As of February 2022, it was doing only take out at the window, under a very safe condition (I appreciate any businesses doing this so much!! Thank you!!). Their beans are a little bit too edgy (sour) for my taste in macchiato, but I liked it better as a cappuccino. They also have really nice croissants and breakfast sandwiches. Overall a very nice place that I'll definitely visit again if I'm in the area again. (I usually give 5 stars if I will make effort to go out of my way ..I'm not sure if I will drive extra few miles to go here, but I appreciate local businesses doing their best during this time!)

Amazing hot chocolate homemade dark roast with almond milk - customized to my specifications! Delish!

There are many coffee shops espresso bars and pastry shops in Summerville, but none quite like Nine Bar Espresso. This is a place not to miss when you are Davis Square, and I make the track all the way from Cambridge just to have their amazing concoctions. Way better than JP licks or your standard coffee shop for hot chocolate or pick me up no matter the season or time of day. (I never understood why people went to an ice cream shop for over priced watered down hot drinks. Folks, just walk around the corner and in 1 min you will be in sweet chocolate and coffee and tea bliss at Nine Bar Espresso!) The customer service is amazing Santi and Nick took care of me multiple times and they are truly a joy especially making coffee art even in a to-go espresso or coffee or hot chocolate cup. My go-to are their hot chocolate and espresso drinks, where they make their own custom hot chocolate which is extra rich and can be customized to whatever the customer wants in terms of oat milk almond milk heavy milk and anything in between. They have very healthy egg and cheese and avocado options as well as your typical egg and meat and cheese with fresh pastries and homemade delicious items. My partner loves the chocolate croissant. During covid-19 times the pickup window can be very busy, so make sure to put your order in but they are very quick and always get things done within 2 to 3 minutes, with a smile which keeps me coming back. They take extra precautions and have Tap to Pay/Mobile Pay with an option for a printed or email receipt, and are very conscious of trying to assist the customer while keeping everyone healthy. During pre- covid-19 times, the yogurt parfait is a must... Right now i recommend their healthy sandwich options, egg or otherwise if you want a delicious meal, or a home-made pastry that is large, filling, homemade delicious, and the best price around. Let's be honest, it is not just their friendly demeanor, but really the delicious coffee drinks espresso drinks chocolate drinks pastries and healthy sandwich options that make this place one of a kind. Thank you Santi and Nick for making Nine Bar Espresso my favorite place in all of Cambridge and Boston when it comes to breakfast or lunch options (or a chocolate/ caffeine treat any time of day!) Go check it out!! You won't be disappointed. (Remember to "Support Local" and tip extra, their low prices with no COVID-19 recovery surcharge and 5 star service deserve extra appreciation!) Why trust me? I've traveled from California to Malta, Italy to Thailand, Costa Rica to Canada - and can say Nine Bar Espresso is unique in their rich flavors, customer experience, and delicious delicacy style offerings that just make you want to return!

bagel with "cream cheese"

I love you guys and the iced latte is always amazing, but I paid a lot for this bagel with cream cheese (and left a tip) very disappointing. leaving three stars for the espresso

I'm currently sitting in this cafe drinking my usual order, one latte with almond milk. I'm looking out the beautifully clear window at the convenient bar seat thinking, "What a great Saturday." Any cafe that can get me to feel that way at 8 am on a Saturday morning with one perfectly made latte is pretty OK in my book. Cost is high though for this feeling and latte. A regular latte is $4.25 and with almond milk an extra $1. I think I will be sticking with Cafe Nero for my regular coffee because the price is significantly cheaper. But, I wouldn't mind stopping by here once in awhile. There's our door seating as well! So if you have a pup, grab a coffee and enjoy it on the cafe tables outside.

This is my favorite coffee place to go in Davis Square. Close to the Red Line stop with great pastries and good coffee.

Great for grabbing a tasty to go cup. Not great for working. I've heard the avocado toast is amazing.
