“ Very friendly coffee shop in the east Arlington neighborhood. I had their nitro brew which was foamy and delicious. The chai there is also pretty good. The pastries are uniquely flavored and I recommend to try their muffins. Looking forward to coming back here again when I’m in the area. ”
“ Great local roasters serving great coffee roasted en premise. This store does not have a ton of room inside, and would be a great place for a shorter stop for a top notch coffee. There is outdoor seating available, which makes it a great place for a work from a cafe day! They brew pour over, and have a few single origin drip and espressos available. This is certainly one of my favorite coffeeshops and I’ll be certainly back. This place is not too far away from Minuteman bike trail, which makes it a nice coffee stop spot if you’d not mind biking a little off on Mass Ave bike routes. ”
“ Fabulous local joint. Right across the street from the Fox Children's Library, so it's a great place to fuel up before Singalong Time! Less than 3 for a cup of beautifully brewed hot coffee and a cup of milk for the toddler great deal. Definitely attracts a different crowd than Caffe Nero and Starbucks. ”
“ I love Barismo. Today I had the day's pour over. There is comfortable seating inside and out. On nice days the front door is open. Hands down the best Arlington or Belmont spot for proper coffee. ”
“ I had a beautiful and delicious latte with a yummy blueberry muffin this morning. I enjoy the cozy vibes inside and the outdoor seating when the weather allows. ”
“ My friend grew up in this neighborhood and he said this place offers the best coffee in town. I tried an expresso shot......YES! He’s right. ”
“ this is a lovely little place with pretty plants, delicious coffee and pastries, and kind people! i love sitting in the sunshine with a little espresso. they have many nice espresso drinks. i have yet to try the pourover, but it is next on my list! :) ”
“ Great cappuccinos and lattes! We really like their clockwork blend and will purchase to prep shots at home. I also like their jam filled scones occasionally. ”
