True Grounds - Somerville

2009 Wanted to try this place I'd heard about and was pleased. Clean place the sandwich were good and fresh as was the coffee. Great Vibe! Fast forward to 6-19-16 Have been a regular for years and everytime I bring a new client or visitor there and I consistently get rave reviews about True Grounds.

Lovely people, wonderful coffee and hot chocolate, delicious treats and yummy lunches

I love their specialty late and they have amazing homemade muffins and scones!!

One of the best coffee shops around Somerville. They have awesome coffee. I recommend trying their Iced Vietnamese coffee. Their cold brew is also really good. They make delicious sandwiches and muffins too. Finally, they even sell some good coffee beans for a pretty nice price. Also recommend their egg sandwiches on a bagel. And wonderful pumpkin chip muffins. Both featured in my photos. Highly, highly recommend. The only thing they're missing is a way to order ahead. There's a little bit of a wait sometimes (understandable labor and supply chain shortages) but that could be migrated by having an order ahead option via toast or another online service.

I love True Grounds. I've lived in the area for a couple years and have been a regular here throughout the pandemic, and it's always rock-solid. I'm not a coffee drinker, so I can't speak to that, but their chai lattes are miraculously not overly sweet (which is why I don't like chai lattes from 90% of the cafes that make them). The food is delicious and consistent. The space is cute and homey, with just the right amount of time worn-ness. The people working there are always friendly and efficient. All in all, a great local coffee spot, I hope they stay in business forever!
