    kimchi latkes
    Isabella C.

    Came here for trivia (Thursdays at 7:30!), and it was pretty packed. Luckily we were able to snag a table and ordered some beers. The workers are all very nice and there's a real sense of community here! A very homey and welcoming spot. The latkes were also delicious- tangy, savory, and not too greasy. I also highly recommend the pretzel, which had a nice bite to it, and came with delicious sauces and amazing pickled beets!

    Two words, Coffee+Beer! Both local. Both delicious. Great service. 10/10 would try again!

    Breakfast Sandwiches

    Great atmosphere! We sat at the bar and the staff was nice and joked around but also let us gab. The food was YUM. the burrito was so filling so i'd like to try the sandwiches next. The beer was also good. I'm warming up to IPAs and their johnny juice didn't have the weird an after teste but was still hazy. i also liked the seltzer which was nice and and not tooooo carbonated like popular seltzer cans. the brunch crowd was nice and we had timely service :)) thanks winterhill!

    Flight of 4 beers. Great quantity for a reasonable price. All four were great.

    tl;dr great spot whether you're in the mood for an afternoon work session or drinks with your friends. Will be back! My partner and I went to Winter Hill Brewing Co on a rainy Saturday afternoon after spotting it on Google Maps. Once inside, we were warmly greeted by the bartender and provided a menu of both food and drink. We ended up opting for a flight of beers to try out the selection, and wow: every single one was a hit! Usually, in a flight of 4 beers, you don't get hits on all 4, but that's what happened. While their beers rotate, both the Sun Buzz IPA and Hot Garbage Passion Fruit Seltzer were part of the mix. Not to mention that the bartender was super informative and friendly. We got some food, specifically the Kimchi Latkes, which were tasty as well, though the beers were the highlight. They also serve coffee which we'll have to try at a later time. The ambiance was balanced for any occasion. Some other patrons were working on laptops when we arrived around 3pm, and by the time we'd left by 6pm, several tables were occupied with friends meeting up for drinks and/or families getting some food too. I'll absolutely be back. I'm glad to have such a friendly spot nearby!

    Wednesday fried chicken night
    Tuli S.

    Come for Wednesday fried chicken!!! We had the best time! We had a group of 6 and ordered the chicken sandwich & chicken platters. All were delicious. It wasn't the best fried chicken I've had but it was very good. The mac and cheese was sooo cheesy. Loved it. Biscuits were also delicious. I had the sun buzz, lil hoppy, quite good. We stayed a while and the service was great. Will be back!

    I used to live in this neighborhood. It was nice to visit my old stomping grounds and see this business thriving. It was a cold and snowy Saturday but people were still at the brewery! We walked in dressed like assholes for a concert we were going to that night. People barely flinched. Love how accepting Somerville folk are. Cozy interior. Friendly staff. Plenty of choices for beer. I didn't have any beer so no comment there but I did have the mac & cheese. Tasty, creamy and loaded with I believe panko on top. I loved the crunch element. It just wasn't the best I have ever had but enjoyed it on that snowy day. I would have it again! True score: 3.5

    Mac & cheese
    Stephanie B.

    After one dine-in experience and 2 takeout experiences, here's my rating, 3.7 out of 5 stars. Food: The biscuit was delicious. I was just disappointed that only half a biscuit is included with a full rack of ribs when it's included at all. Pork ribs are good, solid ribs! They're well cooked but not fall off the bone. There's a slight spice that builds as you eat. The pickles are sweet with some heat. The mac & cheese is ok, noodles were very over cooked, the cheese sauce was clumpy. One thing I was super taken aback by was the lack of kid friendly options, no fries. We asked for the hot dog plain for our 4 year old and were surprised to find that the sausage was spicy, it had what seemed like mustard seeds in it. Very surprised by this given the amount of children I see here all the time. Beer is good. I've tried the hot trash which despite the name is delicious and refreshing. Nice space and atmosphere, very low key and chill. A great neighborhood hangout spot.

    Good beer, great lattes, tasty snacks, chill staff, bumpin' Thursday night trivia. This place is a beacon of light in an otherwise barren area of winter hill in terms of bars/restaurants right now

    GUYS! breakfast bahn mi.

    ok i'm just saying this is a breakfast HOTSPOT you're not gonna find coffee this good at this price anywhere in a 50 mile radius. these guys have a FAB MENU that is ever evolving and always delicious. it's also for such a homey vibe. i've had lunch on their patio and it is gorgeous. it's a place i come to alllllll the time. you can't beat it. i always get an oatmilk latte and have vanilla in mine but don't be nervous about chunky oatmilk or warm iced coffee. It's consistently amazing in every sip. also shout out the staff here. Baristas are slayyyy just met eric!!!! he is so kind and personable. yall already know and love the scott's but yall they hire some fabulous folks :)

    I was super surprised to learn there was food here, but definitely pleasantly surprised! We stopped in for late afternoon beers and were starving so ordered some sandwiches, all of which were delicious. Staff is friendly and helpful- bringing me samples when I was stuck between two beers- and the space is cozy. Beer itself wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but very solid drinking beer.

    Went there on fried chicken day and was blown away by the sandwich and biscuit. Would go back just for that.

My personal test is simple: if a cafe's black coffee is good, then everything else usually is too--and Cafe Beatrice passed the test. Once you move into their lattes, you're in for a treat. The last one I had was a matcha brewed with apple cider and sweetened with a chai syrup. It was a soft, fall-time win. If you're here, I'd say go all out and order one of their specialty lattes. The baked goods are generally puff pastry or croissant-based, either filled or topped with fruit, jam, or sweetened cheese. My favorite was probably a raspberry pastry (though the photo I posted was on Yelp over a year ago, my first visit here). I haven't tried their food yet, but from what I've seen, it looks good. For some reason, this place also seems to bring in a lot of bicyclists. There's street parking available, and it's right by the Lechmere station.

I didn't enjoy the maple kouign or autumn puff much, even though they look really interesting. The toffee chocolate chip cookie was delicious and I highly recommend! It has enormous chocolate chunks in it. For drinks I had a normal latte as well as a gingerbread spice latte. Both were solid and no complaints there. The gingerbread one also wasn't overly saturated with sugar. The daily specials menu hints at a really diverse food menu and I'm excited to try out the burgers, quesadillas, and sandwiches! Lots of people working on laptops and a hip productive environment.

The restaurant had a really great ambiance, and I enjoyed being able to watch the chefs prepare the food. We ordered the ginger cabbage salad, the coconut eggplant, and the duck noodles. I would have loved to have tried their sushi grade salmon, but they were unfortunately sold out for the night. So I would recommend arriving earlier if you would like to try it. My favorite dish was the duck noodles. I liked the freshness of the basil in the pesto, and the tenderness and juiciness of the duck. The coconut eggplant was a close second favorite. The coconut flavor was delicious, and I liked the nuts on top for crunch. I also found the ginger cabbage salad to be yummy, but not as much as a standout as the other two dishes. Overall, I really enjoyed this spot for dinner. I liked how fresh everything was, and how the dishes felt very light and healthy. It's definitely a bit on the pricier side, but I found it to be very worth it. I definitely come back and try their lattes and other dishes.

The coffees are delicious as well, my favorite is Ha Noi hot latte in winter and sea salt shaker in summer time. You can't go wrong with Sai Gon Latte either, which my wife likes a lot. The only thing I don't like is that you usually have to wait outside since there are not many sitting places in the venue. I recommend either ordering takeout or visiting at non-busy hours.
