Don't go too fast or you just may drive right past this place! This particular location is on the Eastbound side of Rt 9, shortly after the set of lights at Oak Hill Road. So, get in the right hand lane and be ready to turn into the parking lot, as it comes up pretty quickly. And there is plenty of parking. This is one of the coziest and spacious Red Barn locations. It is a perfect place to meet someone for coffee and pastry. They have plenty of 2 and 4 top tables and there is usually a table open. The decor is rustic barn. They have a nice selection of muffins and warm breakfast sandwiches to go with your coffee. They also have some items for sale to take with you, including their locally (Upton) roasted coffee beans. The baristas have always been smiley and friendly. If you need space for a larger gathering, ask them about their upstairs space. I've been to meetings there and it comfortably had seating room (no tables) for around 20 people. read more

I would have rather gone to Dunkin. This iced coffee tasted like old hot coffee put into a iced coffee container. The French vanilla had a ton of acidity and just plain poor quality. We had high hopes of stopping on our way home from an overnight to try something more local and not just a chain. We totally regretted that. read more

I enjoyed their indulgent, flaky and buttery croissant filled with fresh ham. It has been convenient the Red Barn Coffee Roasters has early opening hours. The bakery was located out of route 9. read more

Red Barn Coffee Roasters - Flaky and buttery almond croissant. _ May '16. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Southborough, Massachusetts

I popped into this coffee shop because I had some time to kill, and I much prefer supporting small coffee shops instead of the huge coffee chains. The red barn is really cute and charming and the inside is rustic and cozy. There's a nice selection of coffees to pick from, and they have 4 seasonal flavors for the holidays (Peppermint Patty, Vanilla Cinnamon Spice, and 2 others that I can't remember). They have a nice variety of sandwiches (cold and hot, pressed paninis), salads, and a few soups. The sandwiches are made to order - I got the oven baked chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and chipotle sauce on multigrain bread and it was delicious. The multigrain bread was fluffy and very flavorful - I'd definitely recommend it for sandwiches. I was able to talk to Lisa, the owner, for 10-15 minutes and she's super nice and cares a lot about her business, employees, and her community (with fundraising programs). I'm looking forward to coming back here as I love supporting small businesses. I really enjoyed my coffee, sandwich, and the ambiance and neighborhood feel of the place. It's nice when the employees smile, take time to explain things, and chat with the customers. read more

Stopped by in the morning before work, they had quick service and there wasn't a long line. This location is slighly larger than the location on the other side of Route 9. I noticed quite a few people sitting at the tables drinking their coffee or enjoying a sandwich, giving it a friendly and cozy feel. And the employees were very pleasant as well. They had delicious looking sandwiches and paninis, but I wasn't going to try one at 9 in the morning, I'll definitely be back at lunch time to get one. Plenty of pastries as well. I ordered a hot mocha latte and it was good. A little weaker flavor than I am used to, but it was still tasty and I would get it again. read more

Red Barn Coffee Roasters - Cute motto they have on their cups! "Experience the world in a cup." - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Southborough, Massachusetts

Excellent cup of coffee - pastries are delish - workers nice - and the ambiance is great to do some work, have a conversation or even have a group meeting (there is a room upstairs just for that.). You feel like you're in a converted barn. I've got my laptop open (wifi available), I'm enjoying a good cuppa joe and a muffin top, and doing work in peace. Even the tunes are helping to keep me in a good mood. read more

Review based on experience pre-COVID. The space is lovely. I work nearby have come here to get away from the office for some quiet time. Super cute. The baked goods are decent (but not great). However... I've tried pretty much everything on the lunch menu, and it ranges from "meh" to outright awful. I suggest skipping the lunch options and stick with bakery items only. I can't comment on the coffee, I'm not enough of a coffee drinker to say if it's bad or good. Bottom line: 2 stars for cozy atmosphere and decent bakery, minus three stars for bad food read more

This place is BAD. Dont let the barn decor and cozy setup fool you. Their coffee, breakfast and attitude is all wrong. read more

Update 1/10/19: there is a new more limited menu. Significantly less choices. A bit disappointed as there was no mention of a menu change on their social media page. read more

This Red Barn location on the eastbound side of Route 9 (don't be fooled by the Yelp location marker) is quite nice. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the I have found all the food options I've had to be tasty. A vegetarian friend also likes their selection. The coffee is solid and they have a bunch of the typical espresso drink options. My only complaint is the hours. I wish they were open past 4 on weekdays (kitchen closes at 2) and open at all on the weekends. **Website and Yelp say 7-1 on Saturday, but I went there today (a Saturday) and there is a sign explicitly stating they were closed Saturdays. I get that most of their business is probably from nearby Bose and Genzyme campuses, but Route 9 is never deserted, so I'm a little perplexed. read more

Best coffee in the area! Great sandwiches. Love the rustic ambiance. The coffee bar where everyone knows your name! Lisa, the owner, is very charming! read more

You can now enjoy your Red Barn in both directions. This side offers a more open space, yummy sandwiches, and coffee that's actually drinkable. Strangely, I think it's brewed a bit weaker on this side of the highway. Maybe I'm cray... It's still good. read more

This place is becoming my Framingham go too lunch spot. The food is solid,mthe service is great,many the outdoor seating is awesome for nice summer days. read more

Really great coffee and paninis! All the baked goods look delicious, as well, i just haven't had an opportunity to try them yet. Everyone that works there is super friendly. FYI there are locations on both sides of Route 9... So dont pull a U-turn to get to the location on the opposite side of the road.. Just keep driving :) read more

SOOO cute! New fave. Will def be back. TONS of space to do work and great wifi. Yummy whole grain croissants. Good prices. Cozy music. Friendly staff. Only complaint is the sandwich was very basic and fell right apart when I tried to bite it. Could have made my own and brought it. Will pack snacks next time! read more

I love small town coffee shops almost as much as I love supporting small businesses. Red barn coffee has numerous locations, including one that just opened near my office in Boston. Out of all the locations, this one is my favorite. They have a full lunch menu from panini's to light salads, and also have a traditional selection of pastries. The atmosphere is great here, with plenty of space to work, including a nice outdoors space for sunny days. I especially enjoy the baristas who learn your order after a few trips...believe it or not this adds or takes away a lot for me, from a coffee shop. It also comes in handy at 7am when I am trying to get in and out of the cafe in a few minutes. On days where I work from home, this is a great spot to grab a break at. It's only a few minutes from my house which makes it timely as well. Today I went in for an afternoon coffee and was pleasantly greeted by their newest addition- nitrogen infused coffee. The one thing I always miss about the city is the nitro cold brew, but now Red Barn even has that! read more

Staff are professional and easily adapt to your dietary needs. Wifi, nice atmosphere -- a great place to meet clients and colleagues. Easily accessible but remember this is on the EAST side of Rt9. #BagnisellsRE, #southborocoffee, read more

Personally I thought the coffee was awful and overpriced for a lousy cup of coffee both I and my friend were there in the coffee taste like mud McDonald's has better coffee than you guys do I'm sorry but I would never put that disgusting junk on my lips ever again read more

This is my Saturday morning coffee spot; I always go for their dark roast with one of their breakfast paninis. If you're into a good bean, you'll enjoy Red Barn. read more

Great service! Great food! Great coffee! Loved the avocado sandwich!

A nice place for a quick breakfast, lunch, and coffee. It's also enjoyable to linger (and work online) both inside and out with fast and reliable wireless access. They serve excellent espresso based drinks. I'm fond of their iced lattes. The atmosphere is nice and staff attentive. I've been tempted by the fabulous looking pastries, cookies, and cupcakes. read more

Coffee & food consistently good. Met there several times with 4-5 other people and we were 'asked' to use the room upstairs... for a cost. So we stopped going as a group. I still go there on my own. read more

I recently discovered this establishment and was excited to try their Breakfast Panini. Boy, was I disappointed. For $3.75 I got half (1/2) of a Breakfast Panini on 2 thin slices of bread with a thin egg patty and a piece of thin bacon sandwiched in between. I was totally underwhelmed and felt ripped off. Other reviewers have expressed similar concerns about this sandwich. I was so disappointed by the Breakfast Panini that I asked the woman behind the counter if they had a management feedback form. She said that they did not. I gave her my feedback about their Breakfast Panini. She began to argue with me, comparing the Breakfast Panini with the $7.00 Panini that I could get during lunch. Instead of debating with me, an apology or offer to refund my money would have gone a long way. Based on this experience, I'm not going back to this establishment. read more

I got a chipotle chicken panini and the chicken was so overcooked, it tasted like cardboard. Stick to coffee and stay away from the food.

Red Barn has such potential that it simply doesn't live up to in any way. The atmosphere is cute and there is plenty of seating as well as outlets to plug in if you're working...but beware that you will get the hairy eyeball from rude staff if you overstay your welcome. The food is mediocre at best - uncreative and flavorless paninis, sad excuses for salads and high prices for the quality and serving side. The fact that this is one of the only games in town is likely it's reason for being open. The coffee is weak and although I love supporting local roasters I'd rather drive out of my way to buy others than brew Red Barn at home. The reason for 2 stars is the sweets which are relatively good and look pretty in the case, and my kids like the seasonal declared cookies. Otherwise all I can say for Red Barn is that it would be awesome if they had a major overhaul because the location is great and a quality coffee/lunch spot would be welcomed! read more

The space that this coffee shop is in is the biggest strength. It all goes downhill from there. Ordered a "breakfast panini" and received half a sandwich with a frozen disk of processed egg, and some thin and flabby bacon. When I pointed out that the egg was not heated through they offered to put the sandwich (that had a bite taken out of it) into the microwave. If that is considered a reasonable solution I'll just make this sandwich at home and save the 4 bucks. The coffee was also just not good. Gave one extra star here because at least they refunded me for the sandwich without my asking. read more

Decided to give it another chance. Yep once again the lady takes my money and then goes to grab my bagel without even thinking of wearing gloves... read more

Good location for a casual business meeting or meeting up with a friend over coffee. Turkey sandwich was good with the chipotle sauce but bread might've been a bit tough to chew since it wasn't toasted. I had a flavored tea. Seems like Starbucks in terms of how it's priced, so not as appealing to me as a Dunkin Donuts. Service was average. read more

Red Barn has 2 locations in Southborough. Interestingly, I've found that this location (eastbound on Route 9, next to the driving range) is much better than the westbound Route 9 location. The coffee here is better, the sandwiches are better (fresher ingredients), the staff is friendlier, and there's a nice indoor seating area with lots of tables, unlike westbound, which has a very small indoor seating space. In nice weather, you could even go outside and have a picnic on the grass. Maybe this site gets more customers, and therefore turns over the food/drink more quickly? At any rate, 4 stars for this specific location. read more

This is my favorite coffeehouse so far. Iced coffee is best I've had. Regular coffee is good too. Desserts are always amazing. Food is usually good, could have a few more veg options. Owners are super nice too. Wish I lived closer. read more

I love this Red Barn coffee shop. The early morning staff are friendly, the muffins are an example of perfection, and the atmosphere is warm. read more

Love coming into Red Barn and seeing Kylie's smiling face! One of the owners, Lisa, is always in there and is such an attentive owner. She really cares about her employees and business which is hard to come across these days. Nancy the manager is always going out of her way to put a smile on everyone's face. Great family owned company!!! read more

Ice coffee is not good. Not sure what they do to it, but has a very bitter taste. Bagels also are not fresh and they never put enough cream cheese on bagels. The staff is very pleasant though. Sandwiches are good, just a bit pricey. read more

Really great and welcoming atmosphere. The coffee is good and the baked goods are also quite fantastic. They offer a full menu of sandwiches and salads, perfect spot for a bite to eat or to get a quick cup. Also you get that warm fuzzy feeling you're supporting a local business and not the Dunkin' Donuts franchise. read more
