    My partner and I got a matcha coconut latte, matcha soda, and white chocolate cranberry scone - TASTE: 4/5 - loved that the coconut and matcha flavors were strong in the latte and soda respectively, and the sweet dough of the scone TEXTURE: 4/5 - the carbonation of the soda revived us lol, and the scone was just alright: dense and crumbly, as expected PRICE: 4/5 - total came to $17 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - satisfied our afternoon sweet treat craving SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 2:30pm on a Friday. Took a few min to get staff's attention at the register. Order was ready in 5min ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - small space w cool drink options on the menu and mini dioramas on the walls, though only two bar seats by the window counter PARKING: 4/5 - got a metered street spot right on Main St

    I am finally at O'Some cafe! It's a quaint cafe tucked away in the Watertown suburbs. I've been wanting to check out their specialty Asian flavor drinks. I got there on an early Thursday morning and there were already a lot of pastries. Their menu range doesn't disappoint at all. I got a hot black sesame latte and it hits all the notes. The sesame flavor wasn't overpowering and still balanced it. I also tried their banana bread and their assorted mini shortbreads. I love both of them. Can't wait to go in to try more drinks. Both baristas were really welcoming and was giving me recommendations since it was my first time there :) -9/10

    Stumbled upon O'Some while looking for a cute cafe to grab a quick bite. The ambiance and menu online was enticing so we stopped in. The place is a bit small and there was a line when we arrived but the service moved quick. I got the salted toffee latte with oatmilk, the grey earl pound cake, and a bacon cheddar scone. The latte was yummy, I didn't think the flavor of toffee was prominent though. The bacon cheddar scone was great. I loved the bits of bacon throughout and the overall flavor profile was the savory treat I was looking for. The poundcake was a bit more dense than I would have liked which made it a bit dry on its own. Both items were suprisingly more filling that I anticipated, which was a pleasant surprise. The price for all three items was around $15 which I think is fair. Overall, a good cafe in the area with fun menu options to choose from. 7/10

    strawberry matcha latte ($6) was okay, the matcha tasted quite watered down. the cafe interior was very cute though

    such a cute little cafe! I loved coming in and being able to order two coffees for my long day at work. I was able to meet the cutest regular (a golden named Atlas). It was definitely the highlight of my day! Between the two lattes I got, I would definitely say the Italian cookie one (I forget the official name of it) is the best. I got iced lattes for both with skim milk (unfortunately there was no almond milk option). The second latte I got was the salted caramel but I still favored the cookie one. Listen, I'm a sucker for anything with a good cold foam! There's currently construction going on, so plan to park on the street :)

    Small open black sesame latte with oat milk, reliably good / July 2023

    It's been a while since I've visited O'Some, but I'm glad I did today! The open black sesame latte, my favorite drink here, is still on the sweet but flavorful side, and is especially delightful iced. (You could probably ask for less black sesame syrup to cut down on the sugar, but then you'd get less sesame... a conundrum). But today I was most excited to try one of their gluten free scones, after seeing them mentioned in other reviews. The staff had recently made a batch of GF blueberry scones when I stopped by on a late weekday morning. Scones had a good texture (a "crust" with a soft but not too crumbly interior), and sweet but not too sweet. Apparently they have more options on weekends and even have a vegan and gluten free option on occasion. I will definitely be back to try them! Note that they keep their gluten free baked goods separate from their gluten-filled ones, which is very much appreciated. The barista was unfamiliar to me (then again, it's been many months since I've last visited) but as friendly as all their staff has ever been. Even though there isn't seating in the small cafe, I'd recommend taking your food and drinks across the street to the Watertown Library patio. After all, books and coffee go together splendidly.

    The coffee at O'Some is delicious. Evidently they take pride in their brews. The flavors are rich and the aroma is tantalizing. Make sure you check out the seasonal menu. It features a range of unique coffee creations that will surprise and delight you. I had the Tiramisu Iced Latte and a matcha strawberry scone. The Tiramisu Iced Latte was the perfect marriage of coffee richness and the classic Italian dessert's sweet, creamy flavors. The scone's combination of matcha's earthy notes with the sweet burst of strawberries was both creative and satisfying. The service is quick and friendly. The staff is not only knowledgeable about their coffee but also eager to provide recommendations based on your preferences. Overall, O'Some Cafe lives up to its name by delivering an "awesome" coffee experience.

    Favorite local business with pastry bites and coffee in the neighborhood. Worth a stop for the salted toffee latte!! One of my favorites and wish I can get here more often. Just a few minute walk off the Charles River pathway in Watertown.

    Can't say enough good things about O'Some. The honey latte is my favorite. Their pastries are so good and so unique- showcasing strawberries, matcha, and other delicious flavors. I don't think you can go wrong with anything you get here. I tried a new pastry last time I was there- a kind of matcha cream puff. Messy but divine! You're in for a treat with the coffee and pastries here.

    Iced Dalgona Latte

    I'm so happy I finally tried this café. I got the Dalgona latte with less ice and it was fantastic-- the perfect level of sweetness with the distinct coffee flavor smoking through that doesn't get lost in the creaminess. It can easily hold a candle to ones I've had in New York City and is definitely one of the best drinks I've ever had. The menu has options but isn't so expansive that you get lost in figuring out which one to get, and they have seasonal drinks as well. The baristas who work there are also very nice and easygoing. It has two seats at the window. As I sat there, regulars came in ordering their favorites and chatted with the baristas about what pastries to try. The overall atmosphere was very friendly. It's definitely a community staple.

    Stumbled across this quaint little cafe one Saturday a little after 11 and there was a line filling the small space. Despite the wait, the decor is so cute that you can spend your time admiring it We ordered one of each of the remaining pound cake flavors (cookie butter and black sesame), and I got the black sesame latte. The pound cakes themselves aren't too sweet, which helps balance the toppings. I also enjoyed the latte, which had a nice sesame flavor. Would definitely come back to try more of their menu!

    My friend and I stopped by early Friday morning after our jog. I ordered the sesame latte as well as four loaf cakes - yuzu, black sesame, matcha, and cookie butter. The sesame latte was pretty good. I enjoyed the coffee part more than the black sesame, but it was not too bad. There were other seasonal flavors that sounded interesting on the menu. The loaf cakes are not large in size but surprisingly dense. I most enjoyed the yuzu as the flavor was most prominent, and the texture was very moist. The other cakes were slightly dry and lacking in flavor. I could not taste matcha or black sesame much. I did enjoy how the icing for the cakes was not too sweet. The place is run by the owner, who gave detailed instructions regarding the storage and shelf life of the cake, which I greatly appreciated. Overall, they were alright, but I would come back for the coffee.

He shouted out that she had "contaminated" the drink and he would make a new one for the correct customer. This was all said in a loud, actorly voice so that everyone in the shop could know that He Was Displeased. Note, the "contamination" consisted of the woman a) holding the cup of hot chocolate and, b) walking to her table with it. On a previous occasion, he yelled at an older woman in her 90s because she needed to sit down on a chair while he was sweeping. He snidely told her that she should go outside if she needed to sit. Her confusion about the seating was understandable, because for some unknown reason the cafe needs to close a full hour before the bookshop (and they begin this process earlier even than that, by "helpfully" putting away the chairs and turning off the lights). I guess they sell some croissants and coffee, but honestly: who cares, given the above?

However, I was happy to find that there was a cafe in the back corner that opens in the mornings. So on the way to work, I tried out their cute cafe and got a pumpkin-spiced latte with almond milk. Overall, the coffee was decent and wasn't bitter or burnt (which was impressive since when I visited, the cafe was very new with little experience). This definitely earns them points in my book. I will say that they lose points (in my books) just based on my personal preferences. First off, being a brewery, expect there to be a STRONG smell of beer. Even though I wasn't in there for long, I could still find myself getting a headache and not enjoying the strong smell. I'll also say that the service I received the morning I went wasn't the best, and the man who made my drink definitely did not want to be there. As I've mentioned in other reviews I've done, I rate places HEAVILY based on service and kindness. Overall, the coffee was decent, but there are better places to go on Waltham that I would rather go to instead.

Beer is good, but more geared to IPA or sour beer lovers. Very few lager options. Food is really just ok, so I wouldn't come for dinner. I would rather order snack food to go with my beer when I'm there. Overall, some of the staff is super friendly, but it was a bit less organized than I would have liked. Love that they have outdoor seating. I'll be back for sure, this was hopefully just a one off bad experience.
