Just a little added nerdiness for an already nerdy spot. The drink and food I ordered was amazing. Quite possibly the best breakfast sandwich I've had in all of MA. The pi sandwich was truly THAT good. The frozen pi was yummy too. I wasn't there super long, but enjoyed the time while there. I wish this place was closer! I'm a math teacher with a coffee themed classroom and a pi tattoo. This coffee shop basically summed up all of my fave things!

A "qualified 4."…read more Been a while, and I work in the area again, so an update after a couple years and a few morning visits. - Still a great vibe, with comfy seats for resting, eating, working, or playing checkers (which they provide), plus a view into the roasting area. - Still good coffee, with two rotating original roasts available daily (one lighter, one darker). - No longer are donut collabs with Donut Stand a Thursday thing. As for food: -- Cranberry Orange Scone: Superb. Slightly sweet, a little biscuity, with good moistness and understated glaze that lets the base shine. Sometimes warm. -- Chocolate Croissant: I doubt this is made in house. Flaky, yes, but something's off. Seems like a prefab product from the freezer section. You can do much better than this. -- Rugelach: Very rich with potent Nutella flavor. A little greasy, but in a good way. Small but packs a flavor wallop. -- Cinnamon Bun: Decent. Nice moist glaze and a somewhat dry winding dough. -- Brioche Bun: A small round braided number similar to a pain swisse but also a Scandinavian bun, with custard and chocolate chips. Innovative, but dry and rubbery. Good coffee and good atmosphere, but a mixed bag on the morning treats, with some hits and misses. Order what works for you and you should be happy, especially when comparing against similar places in the immediate area or distant 'burbs. Just don't expect Boston quality and you'll be fine.

Very small Italian sandwich shop and Italian provisions provider (cheese, candy, sodas) with a…read moreretro Italian feel, over-the-counter and over-the-internet ordering, and a few small tables on which to eat standing up. The star of the show is the sandwich selection, all on a choice of focaccia or seeded roll, with many including stracciatella, a thick, white, creamy, Buratta-like cheese. Almost every item in the store-- from meats to cheeses to drinks to candies and snacks-- is imported from Italy and you can taste the difference. This ain't your daddy's Boar's Head. -- Tutto: Tried on focaccia, with Mortadella, Soppressata, Capicola, Prosciutto, Provolone, Stracciatella Cheese, Tomatoes, Onions, Pickles, Hot Cherry Peppers, and Garden Greens. Very creamy cheese, almost mayoey in texture. It took some adjustment on my first try, but I got used to it quickly. Strong flavors overall. Very enjoyable. -- Matto: Tried (on two different visits) on a grilled seeded roll, this packed Prosciutto, Soppressata, Sharp Provolone, and Hot Cherry Peppers. Bold flavors from the coldcuts, sharp cheese, and perfectly toasted bread, all in the right proportions to enjoy every flavor and texture. This was spectacular and will be a repeat sandwich for many visits to come. Excellent sandwiches. Nice people. Easy ordering via Toast (they don't have a website). Limited hours-- weekday lunches only-- and hard to spot, but in the same parking lot as the convenience store. I'm not an authority on Italian sandwiches but I've had my fair share from the "name" places in and around Boston, and this unknown gem from the outer suburbs ranks right up there with them. Some may argue they charge Boston prices, but for Boston quality without the Boston hassle, well worth it. Solidly in my lunch rotation.

I was also absolutely blown away by the simple yet delicious flavor of their homemade food! Everything was just what you'd crave, but that tart was next level! All homemade, the dessert menu here is not one to skip! I love everything about my experience dining here and appreciate the work and care that goes into this establishment at all levels. I highly recommend you give it a try, it's really just a lovely place to be and deserves all the appreciation I can possibly give it!

I couldn't figure out from the photos on Google what the parking situation was here, so let me be…read morethe first to let you know that this coffee shop is in a plaza/strip mall with a large public shared lot - yay! The decor of this shop is delightful - there's a beautiful, colorful mural on the wall and lots of gorgeous plants. The tile on the coffee counter makes me feel like I'm on an exotic vacation. This is clearly a spot people love to hang out and get work done as almost every table - both inside and in the outdoor area - was full with someone on a laptop working on Labor Day, and I can see why - the vibes are great and the music is relaxing. There's an overall scent of spice and fancy coffee. I was really excited to see an Ube Shaken Espresso on the seasonal summer menu, so that's what I ordered - made with almond milk. The cashier that took my order was very polite and let me know that the ube cold foam was made with heavy cream and asked if that was ok. A glutton for anything ube, I said yes - however, I found it had a strong milk flavor that kind of overpowered the ube notes more than I'd like. The drink could have also been a little sweeter, I wonder if there was a flavored syrup or ube syrup I could have added. They had both dessert and food options, including a lot of Halal empanada options that looked delicious. I'd like to go back to try more of what is on the menu and see what's on their next seasonal menu - the Yemeni teas would be of interest, as well as the baked goods. I will certainly keep it in mind next time I'm in the area, it's a cozy spot with unique offerings you don't see in many places locally!

My favorite smoothie is the Blueberry Pie; it's absolutely delicious, and the graham cracker topping ties it all together. If I could drink it every day, I would, but fair warning: the blueberries can leave your mouth grayish-purple, so maybe skip it if you have plans afterward. I also love the Strawberry Moon smoothie--the banana flavor isn't overpowering, which is a big plus. If you're into coconuts, my friend highly recommends the Maui Colada. As for sizing, the Bite Size feels like a medium to me, and it's more than enough. If you are looking for a place to chill with friends, this is the spot- there is plenty of space and they have a few board games too!
