Blue Bottle Coffee - Kendall Square

I loved the service, ambiance, and of course the coffee. I am a sucker for Blue Bottle in general. I first had it in New York, and they have the best artisan coffee. They are the first coffee shop, I actually prefer to have no sugar. The staff at this location was so friendly, and gave me new recommendations. The Nola was amazing!They also have a selection of bakery goods from Croissants to Pan Au chocolates.

It's good coffee, but $7.50 for a mocha?! Too much.By the time you add a tip, you are dropping $10 bucks, and as good as it may be, it's not worth that!

In my experience, blue bottle has strong, slightly bitter coffee. I'm a fan of this, but can also see it not working with others. I forgot the name of the exact coffee I ordered, but it was advertised as having hints of strawberry and dates. TBH I thought it tasted just like normal coffee. Seating selection is a bit small, but if you're able to get there at the right time there's really good study lighting.

One can grab a fine cup of Colombian here. One thing to be aware of is that this is a slow pour place, so don't expect a rapid cup of Joe. The patient will be rewarded, though.

My favorite drink is the Nola coffee and the sweet latte. I also like their spinach and feta croissant and their almond croissant.I would recommend this place for a quick coffee and a bite to eat. Its very clean and the baristas are very friendly and kind.

No. The coffee is outrageously priced and tastes awful. Ordered a small hot coffee and it wasn't even hot. Idk if this is the Cambridge tax you pay but dunkin donuts is more bang for your buck which should be saying something. My coworker threw his coffee in the trash on our walk back to the office and opted for the free mediocre coffee machine dispenser at work instead.

Another sick day at home, and so resuming my Yelp review spreeThis place is super cute. It has the vibe of an apple store that sells coffee. Prices are also on brand for places like this. A cup of coffee? $10. Just kidding x It's more like $4. They have cute seating. And This place gets a lot of foot traffic during the day. Its conveniently located in an area that doesn't have a lot of cafes- except a Starbucks right across the street.So as you have your Blue bottle coffee, you can stare into the windows of the Starbucks and be glad you're not on a line that will take 20 mins. This cafe is also located next to a flower shop- and so you can feel uplifted as you go for a coffee break.

I have heard a lot about how amazing Blue Bottle Coffee is. I visited the Kendall Square branch which is takeout only. It is very spacious and minimalistic inside, very well decorated. I ordered a small New Orlean styled ice coffee with Almond Milk ($5.62).No doubt the coffee is amazing! It is however overpriced for an iced coffee, for which I am taking off a star. The packaging though, is all compostable, you know where some of the cost is going. The snack collection also seemed limited, but that may be due to Covid. For the price you pay, there are many other comparable great cafes in the area to try.

Staff is friendly and great. Coffee is "okay" but nothing special about it. If you're like me and you do coffee shops for the atmosphere and experience, this is not for you.The decor is sterile, feels like a hospital ward. Seats are not comfortable. Place is clean and all.I paid $15 for a 5 oz coffee and a small scone!! Maybe this works for upper rich people in the area, lol!

Regular coffee was flavorful and fresh. Was super impressed with how they brew each cup. Had a couple pastries too and those were good. Service was great! Ambiance was fine / nothing overly warm and inviting. More for people to stand and grab and go with your coffee.
