Curio Coffee

Great Coffee, great waffles! Service is a bit slow for how many customers they get but everyone is super sweet and helpful!

Great waffle but horrible experience as one employee was was polite the barista lady was in some sort of mood my brother law picked up his drinks and turned around and ask which one is which with a sarcastic attitude she said I don’t know you turned around so I would know which one it is as he explained and confirmed she continued to talk to the other guy about the issue at ear shot of other customers. As the store was closing you can tell she getting in more in her mood as I also heard her say about a situation it’s so annoying they announce that they are going to be closing in 5 min so I jumped but up to order a last coffee to go the people in front of me got to order but when i was next they said we are closing in one minute so we can’t make no more drinks as I look to the side see her annoyed face I said no problem thanks the guy was polite said we can still give you the black coffee but her attitude was so horrible that as a customer I didn’t want to pay for a horrible experience we are traveling from Orlando and up until this moment everyone in Boston has been great but as they say we will always remember the negative more. Jan 1 2023 I know I’m just one customer but I’m pretty sure others have felt this way before not sure if she had a hangover

Today I had absolutely unprofessional and uncalled for rude behavior from their barista.
Upon sitting I saw someone forgot their yoga mat so I ran after them and told. Just when I came back and checked my phone the barista came in SHOUTING DO I WANT MY COFFEE? I get that she may have called my name a few times but it was TOTALLY uncalled for when she was loudly chatting with customers and people at the bar, and in loud music, anddd I wasn't around. Might as well pay some attention around instead of chatting with others loudly if you want to be rudey and say no you deserved it coz you were in phone (said the other guy).

TLDR; Been a long time customer and the staff is becoming too rude and have preferences about the customers they want to be nice to. KEEP YOUR CALM! Customer, DO NOT COME HERE AND RUIN YOUR MORNING unless you think you are their "preferred" one.

The coffee is really good. Small but nice ambience. 4/5 because they missed my order - I waited for 20 mins before I went up to the cashier.

Very delicious waffles, served the classic way held by hand in paper, and staff seemed friendly and competent. My almond milk steamer was delicious too. We'd come back, but maybe not to stay, as the place seems a little small and cramped - and is definitely popular! But definitely go try a waffle- friendlier and cheaper place than Zinnekins for comparable quality.

Came in for the first time so I asked for recommendations on two items. The woman there said that she doesnt drink coffee so she cant give recommendations. I sat down on a table to work on my laptop but she said “oh by the way, we don’t allow laptops here”. So I respectfully closed my laptop and it went back into my bag. When she said my drink is ready, it really felt she didnt want me there. Customer interaction is important and I know this since i worked as a barista before. this had to be the most unpleasant experience at a coffee shop.

my go to coffee shop in this neighborhood. their waffles are just amazing, and coffee is really great too. my roommate buys his coffee beans from here

Curio is the best. We have been going here for about 5 years now, and it has remained solid: amazing coffee, perfect service, and delicious waffles. It is our go-to for coffee meetups.

This is one of my favorite coffee shops in the Cambridge/Somerville area. The beans are always freshly roasted and is a customized blend from a famous local roaster.

I usually just do espressos/americanos but have tried almost everything on their menu. Waffles are a must try and they come in both sweet/savory styles. My personal favorite is the “Everything Waffle” which comes with cream cheese on the top.

They do have Wifi and a few tables in case you are planning on working from here.

Went here on the most blistering hot morning of spring I’ve ever experienced, so this iced coffee kind of saved my life. Highly recommend the iced latte and dining in.
