Pretty busy, though! I'm guessing it's a popular place to sit and do work, so people probably want to get there early to grab a spot.

Ordered 3 drinks and a pizza. Here's the rundown:…read more White Chocolate Mocha - Barely lukewarm and totally undrinkable. Chai Latte - Same issue. No heat, no flavor. Mocha Frappe - The consistency of water and overly sweet. No coffee taste--just sugar and disappointment. Pizza - Dough was raw. Not undercooked--floppy, wet, bite-into-slime raw. We spent nearly $40 on this. We don't live nearby, so coming back wasn't easy but the quality was so bad, we felt like we had no choice. When we returned, we were told we couldn't get a refund without a receipt (which we were never given). Their solution? Complimentary food. As if we'd want more of what we couldn't even eat or drink the first time! This wasn't a cash order, and we were back within the hour--should've been simple to locate in the system. Instead, the employee seemed reluctant to do the work. He ripped a long string of receipts (presumably meant for other customers) and tossed it aside before heading to the back. All the while making it seem like WE were the inconvenience. After some pushback and attitude, we were finally refunded $30 of the $37--and they definitely made a point to take the food back like we were trying to scam them. Service: 0/10 (real training needed) Drinks: 0/10 (no coffee flavor) Food: 0/10 (just -- ick) Not worth the drive, the money, or the hassle. There are too many decent spots to waste your time here. You could even just drive to another Caffè Nero but consumer beware at this one.

I like this location a lot, tucked into an old (but still active) train station. It is very cozy in here and you almost wouldn't know it is a big European chain. I got a double espresso and it was excellent. Although I did not get it on this trip, their chocolate cake is amazing. It was a busy weekday afternoon and there was a line and a full store, but the staff was still very friendly and treated each customer very well.

The young people help run the store, learn job skills, and work toward personal and career goals--and it truly shows in the care and pride behind the space. The shop itself is small but mighty. I walked out with four excellent-condition used books (three of which had already been on my TBR list) and somehow also added two cookbooks because... no regrets. Everything was very affordable, and it felt good knowing my purchase was directly supporting youth in the local community. If you're near one of their locations (I believe there's another in the Boston area), I highly recommend stopping in or checking out their online storefront. Great books, great prices, and an even greater mission--absolutely worth supporting.

It has stylish banquettes and decor more commonly seen in swanky Italian eateries, but it works here. A fireplace and constant jazz music also help set the tone. I'm not a fan of Dumpling Daughter or the croissants or pre-wrapped chemical-tasting cookies here, but I absolutely LOVE Heirloom's blueberry muffin. Even without much of a dome, it packs fluffiness, richness, and great dough flavor, along with plump, moist, fresh fruit. A little sugar on top adds coarseness and a reminder of the Jordan Marsh days. And the rest of the muffin doesn't have any of that supermarket sugarless I hate. A really superb offering, and that atmosphere certainly helps.

I have been here a few times before. I think the seating area this time made my experience 100%. In the past we've sat at the bar or far side of the restaurant by the large windows where I feel is much noisier and somewhat chaotic with getting servers attention. Last night we never felt rushed and was able to sit a little longer and have a conversation and not feel like we were shouting over the noise. I'm glad we decided to give Tavern another chance. We made a reservation and were immediately acknowledged and seated.

Chandeliers that have to harken back to much older tenants in this space. The food is good, I had a ham egg and cheese on croissant and it was wonderful. The croissant was surprisingly fresh. The cappuccino was rounded and smooth and didn't taste at all burnt. Service was ok. Polite but not engaging, my cappuccino was forgotten entirely and I had to ask for it again but it was then made promptly. Regulars that came in behind me had a completely different experience. Service was bright and engaging for them. Again, there was nothing BAD about my service, it was just milquetoast and the baristas seemed disinterested. This is definitely a place where people come and linger and there were folks sprawled about the sofas and typing away at the tables. If I lived in Waltham, I's probably make it a staple in my routine. But I did not linger long, I ate my sandwich, sipped half my coffee and took the rest on my way. I have a feeling this is the kind of place that just grows on you overtime, that said, if you need a coffee or tea and a snack on your way, this may be worth a stop.
