The cashier was so nice to have us taste some drinks before deciding 🤍 thanks
Great little coffee shop! Staff was friendly. Good & strong coffee pick me up while exploring Harvard Square.
Blue Bottle from my experience is not bad at all, but I am basing this review solely on my experience here. I ordered the hojicha latte here and I either didn't hear my name get called or they didn't call it. I was the only person standing around waiting in front of them for several minutes before I asked if my drink was ready and they told me it had been sitting there waiting. It was the weakest hojicha latte I've ever tried and it tasted almost like just drinking pure milk. I did appreciate the latte art though. I also tried their single origin dark chocolate, which was $2 for 0.42oz. It was quite expensive for a tiny piece and I didn't particularly enjoy it either as it didn't stand out to me in any way from most other dark chocolate. It may not be the norm here since other locations have been great, but my review is based on the customer service I received and the quality of the drink I tried here.
Great authentic coffee place to go in Harvard that is off the beaten path. Do yourself a favor, skip Starbucks, and go here for quality espresso and a great selection of pastries and breakfast sandwiches.
Bad coffee and food for the price that it is
There are stairs to enter blue bottle coffee. It was only slightly difficult to find given construction nearby. There are a few tables for sitting with a mix of people trying to work and enjoying weekend coffee. I liked the latte with whole milk a lot. Blue Bottle Coffee might be the most expensive coffee shop near Harvard Square but I’d definitely recommend it for an occasional treat or for coming with another friend.
Decided to stop by this morning to grab a iced match latte with oat milk. Delicious drink, also love that they use paper straws and cups. The cafe is really nice (with minimalist decor) and well-lit. There is a decent amount of seating and good wifi, so it's a great place to study. It's not too crowded or busy on a Friday morning, would recommend checking out!
Stopped by to get a cup of coffee on a Saturday afternoon around 1 PM. The place was packed with people. Lively energy. Blue Bottle also seems to be the only coffee place where you can try North Louisiana (NoLa) style coffee.
Good coffee but a little too expensive for me
Exorbitant prices, mediocre coffee. Bad service. Save yourself !
Super kind and genuinely caring, special shout-out to Montana at the Harvard sq location for going out of her way to help me when I was injured on the job and asked for help from the staff.
Coffee great, service too, but working hours? Closing at 5pm and then without warning closing on Friday at 2pm? This is not the first time we have walked for half an hour to face a locked door. What's the point of having a coffee shop in the middle of Harvard Square and closing randomly at 2pm!? Also single person occupying a table for hours on a laptop. Perhaps there should be a policy limiting laptop use? This is not a work place. Library is better.
Solid matcha latte. Vibrant green color and none of the silly sugar added to the drink. Lots of natural sunlight pouring in to work and sip at in the afternoon :) pretty busy spot and can be hard to snag a spot
Lovely location striving to be personable amidst the whims of corporate ownership and supply chain. Not inexpensive, but good to the last drop.
In love with this place. I recommend the Hot Nola coffee with oat milk 😍😍 (it doesn’t feel so caffeinated) Unfortunately they only offer the small size for those.
Great space. Great coffee. Great baristas.
The worst place I have ever been. Will never go here again
The coffee roaster that’s definitely worth to visit and pay for 1-2 bucks more. Unbeatable quality coffee. My favor are is the Sweet Latte with Oat milk and New Orleans flavored iced coffee. This is my favorite grab n go coffee place in Cambridge. But hey you can’t really go wrong with any choices here.
Great coffee, great staff, great space. The price feels too expensive for what you get, though - a stop at Tatte or Pavement would be a couple bucks cheaper for a similar experience. Can't go wrong with anything here - just keep the small portions in mind when ordering.
They make a nice pour over coffee and Americano.
