    Unique and delicious coffee! A relaxing cafe to sit and fully enjoy a good, well crafted coffee

    I was excited to try out Pound House and wasn't disappointed. I ordered the salted matcha latte with oat milk and regular sweetness and it was delicious. The space itself is pretty big and it was almost empty when I came. There are seats and tables for lounging as well as for working. There is also one bathroom in the back. I would definitely come back!

    The special Banh mi (cold cut) was pretty good -- the meats was flavorful Matcha latte was a little too watered down -- could use more flavor / sweetness, definitely needed more matcha Egg coffee was an interesting texture. It's almost like they didn't finish whisking the egg into foam. It was very yolky -- not a fan. It's right near the new green line at Ball Square. I'd come back for different banh mi. There's a lot of seating inside, especially the back area.

    Clean, spacious space. I would say their drinks are the best, i recommend the iced coconut coffee. About the food, i wish the bread for the banh mi was a but warmer, it was cold when I had it. The staff is nice and attentive. Great spot for Somerville!

    Really unique drink menu! I got a pineapple plum matcha which tasted perfectly sweet with a bit of acidity. The coconut coffee ratio was a little off, consisted mostly of coconut slush with coffee poured on top. Pretty thick which I enjoy, but the small straws made it a little difficult to drink. Service was good, and the interior is very cute. There was a decent amount of seating with students doing work.

    I love Vietnamese coffee so I was really excited when something opened close by. Unfortunately, the coffee did not live up to my expectations. The egg coffee barely had any coffee with the drink so it was like drinking just sweet milky foam

    BOGO special going on until tomorrow morning! Authentic Viet Coffee Shop that opened recently. Highly recommend their Viet Coffee. It was strong and effective and honestly a great start to my day. Their matcha is worth trying but it was a little bitter for me! Staff were so friendly!

    I came here during their soft opening, and as a Vietnamese person, I am impressed by their Vietnamese coffee. First of all, I really liked the interior of the place. It was very aesthetic, and there was a good amount of seating and a really big table out in front. However, I wish there were more chairs or tables in the shop for people who would like to sit and study. Second of all, I really liked their customer service. I felt that the staff were really friendly and knew what they were talking about. However, one constructive feedback I have is that they should put all the finished orders in one spot. Some of the orders were on the table, some were on the high counter. It makes it hard for customers to see/know when their order was done. I waited for 15 minutes for one of my coffee not realizing it had already come out, but they placed it on a corner counter... I ordered three different types of coffee: the Vietnamese coffee, the ube coffee, and the salted coffee. The Vietnamese coffee was a classic. It was what Vietnamese coffee should taste like: sweet, strong, and flavorful. The ube coffee was my least favorite. They used real ube, which isn't a bad thing, but I didn't like the mashed, chunky potato consistency in my drink. I would not order that again--I wish that the menu included descriptions of the drinks, because if I had known there were chunks of ube yam in my coffee, I wouldn't have ordered it. I prefer an ube extract foam in my Ube coffee... it has a much more vibrant color and tasted better than mashed potato coffee.. I had to chew and drink coffee at the same time, which was an odd experience. The salted coffee was good. It was a Vietnamese coffee base with a sea salt foam on top, which complemented the drink because it was both sweet and salty. I tried to order the egg coffee, but they only served it hot, which was very weird. I wish they also offered an iced option. They are missing out on that. Overall, Pound House Vietnamese Coffee was a pretty good coffee place. But this place seems new, and I hope they can take my feedback into consideration to make this place better.

    So excited to have this Vietnamese coffee near me! I've tried the egg coffee and the Vietnamese coffee and both are delicious! They both kept me highly caffeinated through the work day. Can't wait to try their food items too.

    Pound House Coffee is a new Vietnamese café that brings a nice mix of traditional family recipes and modern café vibes to the area. We stopped by during their soft opening, and while the line wasn't too long, the matcha station was definitely a little slower than the rest. That said, the staff were super friendly and helpful, and our order came out pretty quick overall. We got the Iced Vietnamese Coffee and a Matcha Latte with less sugar. The Vietnamese Coffee was excellent--bold, strong, and exactly what you'd want from a proper cà phê sữa đá. The Matcha Latte, though, was a bit too watery for us. They clearly measured everything carefully and whisked it right, but the matcha just didn't have that strong, earthy flavor we were hoping for. Still, it's a solid spot with a welcoming vibe and some tasty options. Definitely excited to come back and try more as they get settled in.

    Quiet hidden place. Coffee was so good and spring rolls were awesome. My son loves his banh mi no veggies (picky eater)

    First time trying egg coffee and I was not disappointed! It was creamy and so delicious! Also tried the matcha latte and banh mi which were solid as well. Overall cute cafe and will definitely be back!

    Went here for a remote work day and it was perfection! Super cute and simple vibe inside. I got the Vietnamese coffee and it was soooo good, and strong!! The grilled pork banh mi was also so so delicious. I'm excited to try some of the other options next time like the egg coffee or spring rolls!!

    See all
