I am sure as an artist space this place is great; however if you are going to sell coffee you really need to take the time to train your barista. Everyone was friendly but the cappuccino was so bad we had to find a place to throw in the trash. Terrible shame.

Great atmosphere on Saturday, but unfortunately they forgot our order twice, took 30 minutes to make 2 cappuccinos, and ultimately gave us a microwaved breakfast sandwich with frozen egg and cheese. Even Dunkin Donuts does better breakfast. Will never pay to eat here again.
Wish I didn't have to write this but here we are.. I ordered a rooted salad, took 20 minutes to put a small bowl of spinach with pecans together and toast a slice of bread. $5 worth of food (being generous here) costs about $13. This is on top of rude attitudes of the ladies working behind the counter. You're better off staying hungry than wasting your time and money at this dump.
Cute venue. I heard singer musician groups but I'm sure there are lots of types of shows there. Nice dimly lit room, cute stage, a clean bathroom and this cafe which was great! They had beer and wine, coffee, sandwiches and snacks. Overall a great experience, I highly recommend this venue for a small show!
(It should be noted that there is also a large venue with a large stage for a big show in the other part of the building. If that's what you're looking for, I believe just search "The Somerville Armory")
Their food is good and it's a nice space. My qualm is that they play such annoying music. I'd come to work and eat there more often if I could hear myself think over the noise.
I would give this cafe zero starts if I could. I waited 45 for a cappuccino and an egg sandwich—and it wasn’t even busy. The egg and cheese in my sandwich was actually FROZEN!!!!!! Never had an experience like this before—just terrible
Opens at 8 am. Great for a quick coffee and vegan brownie. There is a good amount of indoor seating. Free WiFi. Usually quite. Staff are super helpful and nice. Really laid back place. Live music some nights.
Good coffee, great sandwiches, cool comfy spot, Id give it 5 stars but like many places in Somerville, they dont like putting much sugar in their pastries.
