Bliss Coffee Lounge

I was on a hunt for cute coffee spots in the Central Jersey area when I found this spot. This place has such a great location in the heart of downtown Somerville.

Ambiance
- plenty of cozy seating inside both in the main seating area and in the back of the store area, plenty of seating outside.
- great study spot
- cozy, generally more quiet

Service
- friendly staff
- quick service

Drink
- Classic Cold brew- a good strong brew, refreshing

I've been back to this place a few times to get some cold brew and get some work done. I'd love to bring my friends to this place and enjoy some of their other food and dessert options.

My new favorite study spot! The atmosphere is perfect for focused work and promotes calmness. I ordered and iced mocha with oatmilk and I loved it! It may not be the sweetest drink compared to mocha lattes from commercial cafes but it was very much balanced with the espresso and chocolate flavors. Staff was very kind and attentive to myself and other customers visiting. Definitely visiting again!

Such a cute place! The ambiance is perfect for gathering with friends, a date, or even just to get some work done. Drinks and food are delicious and the staff is lovely. They even do open mic some nights!

The food is amazing and the ambiance is amazing! I've been here a few times to just pop my head in. However this is the first time I stayed without it being my lunch break. The service was perfect and the food was so fresh. My partner and I really enjoyed ourselves
We will be back soon

Such a cute coffee place. I tried their tiramisu latte. Tasted exactly like the dessert. A little too sweet. Ambiance was great. Nice place for a quick bite to eat.

Amazing place to go for your coffee needs. The cappuccino was delicious and the taste ive been craving for weeks. The breakfast flatbread was out of this world in terms of taste. It was so flavorful, was expecting something good but i got something great. Cant say enough great things about my experience and the flavors of everything. Will be a repeat customer. Actually ordered another cappuccino before i left. Highly recommend

I've been going here for a few months now and would highly recommend it as a coffee lounge and general place to relax or work. The staff are very friendly, the atmosphere is mellow, and there's ample seating and lighting. Its a great place for meeting a friend, reading a book, or doing computer work. The coffee is excellent, well sourced and batch roasted with hand-crafted and unique options (I recommend the Downtown Dulce). You can also order actual meals and they have a small selection of delicious desserts as well. Something to note though, this is a much more relaxed environment than your typical Starbucks. Its more of a sit-down and hang-out place, and not an in-and-out in three minutes sort of place. It may take just a few minutes longer than average to get your coffee, so if you're in a rush just order ahead online. But its one of the most interesting and niche places in Sommerville and if you're visiting Main Street, I highly recommend you start your day with a trip to Bliss Coffee.

This is such a great local coffee shop. The vibes are on point and the coffee is even better 🙌 Go check this coffee shop out and thank me later 😊 I have local meetups here every Friday morning. Come stop by 👋

Last Saturday (3/25/2023) we went to Bliss along with another couple who are also our family friends.

My wife asked for extra milk in her drip coffee twice to suit her taste. The lady on the counter was rude and said let me tell you if you need more milk then ask for Cafe Latte and she rubbed in by further adding that Cafe Latte has 20% coffee and 80% milk. Upon hearing this and in a rude tone, my wife explained last time in another shop she ordered the same coffee with extra milk, they served it to her taste. Further my wife apologized saying "I am sorry if I troubled you by asking extra milk" the server with a vengeance replied back - no it wasn't a trouble but I was trying to "TEACH" you.

Seriously!!!!!

All this conversation was loud and across the counter and heard by everyone in the shop including our friends.

My wife felt very bad. Same thing could have been done in person and politely.

Amazing fact is they have a poster that says "Work Hard and be nice to people". Their actions did to match up with their credo. This is a perfect case of hypocrisy.

I have been to many places and I generally rate them very high. This is one place that epitomizes rude and rash behavior and trash talk.

What a wonderful place. The coffee, tea and other drinks are made with love, the foods are done to perfection and the owners are very pleasant. If you want something that is more personal than a StarBucks or another cafe, this is the place to go. If you are in Somerville NJ take a bit to stop by and enjoy the Bliss Lounge.
