    a coffee shop with a long wooden table
    Maria G.

    Review #1111 My very first covid-19 review - only makes sense to do so as a Seattleite. This is also the first establishment that I visited after my move to the area. That said, I have only been here a couple of times because it is always so busy. I like to customize my drink but the baristas never really followed my mobile order instructions. It is located directly in front of the #71 bus stop, which is a busy line bringing people into Cambridge. As things start to open up, Starbucks sent me an email alerting me that my rewards points would start to expire again. While I am hesitant to go out, I decided to pay a visit since it looks like we will be in this era for the next 2 - 3 years. I tried to redeem my points by ordering two drinks via the Starbucks app. However, the 150 stars only applied towards one drink and charged me for the other. So I had to put in two separate orders so I could redeem the 300 points I have on profile. There should be a way for me to redeem both drinks in one order, right? When I got there, the front door facing the street is now exit-only, and you enter from the parking lot entrance. Once inside, I saw two lines, left for mobile order and right for grab and go. No seating is allowed inside the store and the bathroom is closed. There were only two employees. There were two people waiting in front of me for mobile order and two people for walk-in order. I saw my drinks sitting at the counter, but I had to approach the barista to retrieve them. I am a little disappointed that it is not entirely contactless. There are plenty of locations where the drinks are just left on the counter and you are free to pick up your order and go. Also, there was no paper bag when I asked the barista, so she gave me a used paperboard box as a cup holder. My frappuccino came with plenty of whip cream, where I specifically requested no whip. Again, I think the location is so busy that the barista simply does not have the time to actually carefully follow instructions. A disappointment but a common problem for Starbucks locations (except the ones located in midtown NYC, they get way more traffic but always follow mobile customizations diligently! They rock!). But, that is just a first-world problem.

    Super busy even at 6pm on a weeknight, there were no tables or seats available inside. And because it was raining, nothing outside. I opted not to stick around and went elsewhere to do my drinking and laptopping.

    How it came I received it. Before drinking.

    So we got a 6 dollar drink and 90% was ice and when I got the drink it wasn't even fully filled. Never had this problem with other locations. I remember ordering a drink, not ice.

    Pretty busy location. Try to avoid it between 8-9am if you are not in a hurry to get your coffee. Parking lot is always full. Some of the customers park very bad. Aside that, the coffee shop is very good. The stuff behind the counter are really good and quick. Even in a busy morning I haven't waited more than 5 Minutes to receive my order. The location has enough seating space. I haven't been there in the afternoon, so I can't tell if it's busy or not. I will update that info once I know it. Thanks, Daniel K

    pumpkin cream Cold Brew Coffee

    My first pumpkin cream cold brew was perfect! Mobile ordered this and showed up less than 5 min after. Waited for a hot minute among at least 6-8 others, and mine was ready! I was in and out within 3 min. Super busy for a Sunday morning around 12 though.

    This is how full it was! Why charge for a tall if it's not even halfway full! Rip off!

    I usually try to avoid this location.. they don't even fill the drinks up half way!! Also, I always order the same thing the Gouda sandwich with no meat and of course they always throw a bunch of meat on the sandwich.

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.

Great space, both indoor & outdoor. Plan on a food truck of some kind being there. Also, great service paired with a wonderful selection of beer.
