Great spot for coffee and a light breakfast! The cold brew was tasty, but the best part was the garden breakfast sandwich! Very fresh.I enjoyed the ambience inside this place too. A lot of plants and nice windows - a great place to catch up with a friend.

Loved the cute vibes and delicious food here. Didn't love the rude service and long wait time.We got the Breakfast Sandwich Special on focaccia and the Middlesex sandwich on an everything bagel and both were delicious. As another reviewer mentioned, the focaccia was one of the best I've ever had (soft, light, and lightly toasted). The everything bagel had a great amount of flavoring, but could have been larger/doughier. Both sandwich fillings were delicious, but I would recommend the Breakfast Sandwich Special if you prefer the creaminess of avocado and the Middlesex if you prefer the smokiness of tempeh bacon.The lowlights were:- The cashier taking our order giving us rude looks every time we asked a question (can you get a sandwich advertised on focaccia on a bagel and vice versa? yes. can you get matcha as a tea and not a latte? no.)- The 15 minute wait time for our orderThis place would easily be 5 stars for me if they had better service.

Came here on a weekend afternoon and the line was long. The most average tasting sandwich that isn't worth the price...managed to find seating but it is definitely hard to find seating if you aren't lucky. I won't be back anytime soon.

Bloc is a very cute coffee shop in Somerville near Bow market. It's very cool inside and is located in an old bank so it has a great ambiance. Despite it being huge inside for a Boston coffee shop, I find they don't usually have enough seating and at times it's really hard to find a seat. I wish they just had a few more tables! The coffee is really good and they have a pretty large selection of food and smoothies as well - so lots of options. Definitely a good place to go get some work done if you can find a seat!

Bought ice coffee with caramel and a bagel, the bagel was decent. But the ice coffee tasted like it was just boiled water, had no taste and what so ever. For the price that is being charged, it's criminal to call that coffee. To the point I thru it away and went across the street and union square donuts,now that place is worth it.

That was 15 dollars for tofu on sourdough. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if nothing had to die for my sandwich, it shouldn't be more than $10.Let me give credit where it's due - Bloc has some dynamite bread. It's the kind of bread that makes me able to look French people in the face when they say something like "oui oui le American bread is awful". Well, have you tried Bloc? No? Then au revoir or whatever it is.But in defense of France (this is rare for me), you get a baguette there and it's one Franc or Euro whatever they use now. Anything on bread in Bloc is minimum $9. Bloc is nice - don't get me wrong, but sometimes I wonder if it's some kind of social experiment to see how high they can put the prices and still have people show up.

Food and beverages: I enjoy Bloc's sandwiches and coffees! I usually grab a breakfast sandwich from here, but they have plenty of options. The bread is always so fresh (I love the sourdough and focaccia). They also have vegan menu options available. Atmosphere: there is both indoor and outdoor seating. When you walk inside, you can order at the register or on a touch screen. The inside is bright at the front, but a bit dark towards the back given the lack of windows. I've worked out of the cafe a few times, they have WiFi if you need it. The seats outside are great for warmer days, but not all have umbrellas to provide shade from the sun.

Intelligencia coffee (shout out chicago!) served here. Pretty weak, though. Lots of food here - cooked by a toaster oven/salamander. Space opens early with lots of seating. Huge patio (under some construction when we visited early September).Chill hipster vibes. We love an environmentalist!

The outdoor patio is great with trees that haven't bloomed giving a cold March weekend some warmth. The food was ok with the only gluten free bread being a wrap, that I can't really recommend. The service was fast and friendly. I ordered the turkey wrap and sat in the warm sun, all in all a good experience. I'd be more definitive next time with ordering.
